SUPPLY OF lockwood
RAPIDLY DECREASING
Shuttles, Bobbins and Spindies Used
in Mills of South Are Furnished
by Trees--Some in the
Northwest

The supply of dogwood and persim.
mon Shuttles in the southern states il
nearly exhausted. This statement will
not appear significant to the average
man when he first hears 1t. But when
he is told that the entire supply of
shuttles, bobbins and spindles used IN
the cotton and wooden mills in all parts
of the country is furnished by the dog
wood and persimmon growing in the
southern states the seriousness of the
situation is apparent. The textile mills
of the country represent a capitalize.
ton of nearly billion dollars, and bob
bins, shuttles and spindles are just as
necessary parts Of these mills as the
throttle is to the locomotive.
Fortunately the shuttle manufac-
turerS have found another source OF
supply in the dogwood stands in the far
northwest part of the country. Two
large companies manufacturing spin
dies, shuttles and bobbins have erected
plants in the Cascades in Oregon, whose
dogwood forests are the greatest in the
world the tree often attaining a height
of seventy-five feet and a diameter of
one to two feet. The southern lockwood
is rarely more than six inches in dame
ter. Extensive stands of dogwood are
also found in California and Washing
ton. Up to the present time lumber
users in the Pacific northwest have
found dogwood valueless except for
fuel, and it's utilization for the manu-
facture of shuttles will bring about q
considerable increase in stumpage
values of this tree.
Utilize Al! Parts
These companies, at their Oregon
plants, will not only manufacture the
articles named but will utilize every
part of the tree turning to account the
waste wood and producing such by
products as pyroligneous acid, acetio
acid. protacetate or iron, acetate OF
lime, methylated spirits solvent naph-
tina, wood tar, wood pitch and various
forms of charcoal. Dogwood is indis-
pensable in the manufacture Of shuttles
bobbins and spindles because 1t Is the
only wood which takes a high polish
and wears perfectly smooth by friction
under water.
The discovery of the adaptability oil
the Pacific dogwood, however. has moi
aided the eastern manufacturers, and
they have been obliged to look for sub
stitutes nearer home. The most promis-
ing of these are mesquite and tupelo
gum. The wood of the mesquite Is
heavy and very hard. close grained and
has a compact structure. 1t Is prob
able that 1t would be eminently adapted
for the manufacture of shuttle blocks
as IL appears 10 HdFe ali Tie fequisite
qualities of weight, hardness and sus-
ceptibility to high, smooth polish
Already 1t has proved we'll fitted for the
manufacture of spools and bobbins. foI
which white birch Is now so largely
used. The tupelo gum is medium hard
and heavy, and has a compact fibrous
structure. 1t has not yet been utilized
to much extent in the textile industries
though it is quite probable it will play
an important part in the future. since
it combines with several necessary quail
tiles the exacting property of wearing
smooth by friction.
