Are the Pine Forests
Passing to Oil Trusts

The Jacksonville Metropolis is au
thority for the following interesting
matter:
The control of the supply of tur-
pentine and rosin may soon pass to
the Standard Oil Company, which has
purchased great tracts of Southern
pine forests. The business is now
chiefly in the hands of the American
Naval Stores Company, which is an
amalgamatiOn of several corporations
which had previously combined to
control the market. Just what the
relations between this corporation
and the Standard Oil Company
Will be is not known. The STANDARD
Oil Company is said to be securing
options on many acres of forest, be-
sides what is being purchased out
right. The Naval Stores Company
purchases it's supply in the main
from farmers and small producers.
Ten Years Limit Given.
The day may come in the not dis
tant future when the demand for tur-
pentine Will far exceed the supply
In fact, some experts are already set
ting the time at less than ten years.
AT the present time, because of the
high price, there is much adultera-
ton of the spirits by the addition of
kerosene, benZine and naptha, whose
presence in moderate quantities can
not be detected except by experts and
chemists.
The chief cause for the growing
Limitation in the source of the sup
ply in the absorption of the pine for
ests by the lumbermen. The lumber
men do not like to have their trees
''bled" for turpentine, as it Injuries
the wood. Drawing the sap shOrtens
the life of the tree and thickens the
fiber, making it difficult to saw, plane
and kiln dry. 1t sOlidifies the rosin
in the turpentine ducts, making the
finished boards pitch streaked, and
thus lowering the grade of lumber
1t adds to the weight, thus increasing
the cost of transportation It reduces
the durability of the wood and opens
the tree to decay. 1t is said that TAX.
ing turpentine from a tree reduces
its value for lumber one-half The
lumber companies, therefore, keep
watchmen to prevent the taking of
sap from their trees. AS they control
large proportion of the pine forests
in the south, the turpentine producer
has not the open field for his opera
tons which he once had when the
forests were practically public prop
erty.
Decreasing Limits.
The decreasing limits In the source
of the turpentine supply have led to
efforts to make turpentine produc-
ton more economical and to find
ways OF adding to the supply. Until
recent years primitive methods for
gathering the resinous emulation
from which turpentine is distilled pre-

1 untutored minds were employed. To
some extent these have been improv-
ed upon, but still the negro goes
around with a simple cutting tool and
chops out long wide gashes in the
sides of the trees. This is wasteful

The collectors, believing in laying up
treasures to-day and letting to-mor-
| row take care of itself, hack away to
their hearts content.
The old fashioned method of har-
vesting the sap is called boxing"
Near the base ofythe tree a hollow is
made in the wood. 1t is from twelve
to fourteen inches wide, about seven
high and four deep. The box holds
the sap. Just above, the bark is re-
moved and about an inch of wood is
cut out This forms a "face," from
which the sap exudes, or bleeds. The
sap runs down into the box, from
which it is removed from time to
time to time. AS often as the box
is dipped the face" is made a little
larger Chipping" The operation is
continued until the sap stops running
in the fall. From year to year from
the weekly chipping, the faces creep
upward, so that by the end of the
fourth year they extend as high up
the trunk as a man can reach. 1t
matters little that he can reach no
further, for by-this time the tree has
shed so much of it's blood that life
is almost extinct. 1t has become
martyr to the desire of man to have
his house painted.

Alleged Shortage In Accounts Of
Recent Manager OF Dougherty
Cooperative Society
EXPERT ACCOUNTANTS DIFFER

gle - Wendt Will Claim That Losses
Sustained by she Cooperative Con-
Germ Have Been Misconstrued Into

Special to Times-Republican.


Mason City, Feb. IA. - That Charley
Wendt, recently manager Of the CO.
operative Society of Dougherty, was
in danger of arrest for alleged short
ages in his accounts, was brought out
the case of the Farmers Cooperative
society against Wendt. This case by
far is the most interesting one that
has come up in several years, and the
farmers in all parts Of the county are
here in large numbers 10 watch the
progress of the hearing.
According to the testimony of wit
nesses, among whom are directors and
officers of the society, there is an al
legged shortage in Mr.. Wendts ac-
counts of about $500 This is over and
above the former statement made Of
the losses of the society owing to bad
corn markets, of something like $1,000.
1t is alleged that on the day of the an
nual meeting last June, when an effort
was made to settle with the manager,
it was shown that shortage was pres
ent. but that later certain bills for coal,
etc., came in, which indicated that
there were accounts which had not
been reported to the officers by the
manager. At this meeting there was
high feeling among the members, and
considerable excitement, in which
threats of arrest were made.
c. D. Merritt, vice president of the
society. urged Wendt to settle, and
brought him before the board for that
purpose he said, but Wendt refused
Three expert accountants had exam
ined the books, which, according to the
testimony, were in hopeless tangle,
but neither of the accountants agreed.
One found shortage Of $1,000, but
thought it was due to bad management
and not fraud Another claimed to
have found discrepancies, which, how
ever, would not be acknowledged by
the manager. Mr.. Wendt will base his
defense on the losses sustained by the
society. and claim that they have been
misconstrued to the effect that he re-
ceived money belonging to the society.
