TAN BARK
GROWING SCARCE

WASHINGTON, July 13.-The sup
ply of tan bark has fallen off 15 per
cent in the last seven years, and tam
ner.es, forced by higher prices to seek
substitutes for bark make use Of diff
ferent woods from which tanning ex-
tracts may be obtained.
Various woods supply suitable ex-
tracts, but chestnut takes the lead i'm
America, and so much Is this wood In
demand that dead chestnut trees and
even logs that have been for years In
the woods are being used in large
quantities. The wood and bark of liv-
ng chestnut tr?es are both utilized,
but when the trees are dead only the
wood is taken.
The farming industry has been
steadily growing in the United States.
Like many other industries dependent
for support on a permanent supply or
forest products, it has felt the pinch
Of shortage. The search for tanning
extracts to take the place of the wan
ing supplies of tan bark resulted.
Wood. and waste. in addition to bark.
are now turned to account.
The search for substitutes Is not
confined to the United States. Foreign
countries are prosecuting it industri-
ously. South America yields nearly
half of the tanning extracts used here.
and in this way helps to relieve the
drain upon the country's lessening
supply Thus the tanner es are aDle w
meet the demands for leather
