Did you hear about the pulp mill in Indonesia that went online a year or 
so ago?  It's the largest in the world.  The mill itself cost $1 billion 
to build.  I understand they plan to feed most of the trees in SE Asia 
through it.

Plant those seedlings, kids.  Fifty years from now you'll have a lock on 
the world timber market.
