doomed to .tinction before MANY
years If the present ruthless methods
are continued. The pines from which
the turpentine is boxed" or tapped
die in about three years. and as even
the younger trees are now sacrificed
for the sake Of the immediate profit,
the turpentine forests are not being
renewed, but are being rapidly dis.
placed by scrub oak and other second
