new proof of the fact that what
Is wasted one time becomes a valu-
able material under other circum-
stances, is given in the success of pine
tar plants that have been started up
near the head of Lake Superior. That
the industry is no experiment and of
no doubtful value is shown by the fact
that the Weyerhaeuser syndicate. the
largest numbering concern in the
world. has taken it up. has just bought
out the plants already established and
is installing more.
All the region about the head of
Lake Superior is, or was, covered with
pine timber, and when this was cut
the stumps remained on the ground.
Pine stumps do not rot as do those
OF hardwoo6s and the presence of
these stumps was a serious obstacle
TO the spread of farming in the region.
Now comes the pine tar company
and offers to clear a farm of all its
