THE TURPENTINE INDUSTRY.
Operators in the south Are Adopt
ing the New Method of Ex-
trRcting Turpentine.

The discovery of new way OF ex-
tracing turpentine, made two years
ago by DR.. Charles H. Herty, working
under the direction of the bureau Of
forestry, is resulting in a complete
i'..-.-.. eA. oil over the south.
In bulletin published last spring
by the bureau Of. forestry the claim
was made that the experiments with
the new cup and gutter system of
turpentining had resulted in an in
crease over the old boxing system Of
% per cent. in the amount of the
product extracted. This figure has
now been raised to more than SO per
cent. In other words, DR.. Herty's sys-
TEN, when universally adopted in the
south, as it is bound to be sooner or
later, will have raised the turpentine
production of this country ny more
than a third, provided the same num-
ber of trees are used. Two years ago,
when DR.. Herty first made known his
discoveries, he put 10000 cups into
operation. Last year this figure was
increased to about 100000. This year
conservative estimate places the
number of cups to be used at 3,000,00
The figures give some indication of
the rapidity with which turpentine
operators are adopting the new sys-
TEN. The change of methods has been
so rapid that the pottery company
which undertook to supply operators
with earthen cups has been unable to
keep up with its orders and has been
obliged to refuse contracts for over
two million cups. 1t is safe to say
that the majority of the large turpen-
tine operators in this country have
given up the boxing system and will
extract their turpentine by means of
cups and cutters.
discovery is enormous. 1t not only
causes a great Increase in the amount
of turpentine produced, but it is
most important factor in saving the
pine forests of the south. Every one |
knows that trees from which turpen-
tine has been extracted by the old
timber it is called

them. The cup nnd gutter system,
On the other hand, is not fatal to the |
life of the tree, and does very little |

Because He Could Be Very

Secretary Shaw says that shortly after he
assumed his duties as head of the treasury
department he was called upon by an old
gentleman from his own state of Iowa, who
wanted an appointment as confidential clerk
to one of the assistant secretaries Of that de-
partment.
"In spite of the fact that was very busy
at the time" says Mr.. Shaw, II gave the
Iowan the better part of an hour, for he was
as pleasant and entertaining an old chap as
one could meet--bright, clipper and witty"
On account of his age, the secretary felt
that he could not comply with the request.
So, gently but firmly, he informed him that
he did not see his way clear to give him the
appointment. This did not dampen the old
gentleman's spirit in the least.
