Percentage

Note-In North and South Carolina improved methods are not in use.
 Accepting the information contained in this table as basis for comparing the results of the new methods with the results of the old system of cut ting the destructive boxes in the trees. some allowance should be made for the difference in quality of timber as well Rs the age of the industry in the States given. The timber in Texas and Lou lsiana Is considered superior to that in Georgia and Florida and the indus. try is not so old in the two Western States. But the improved conditions under which turpentine and rosin are manufactured in Texas and Louiisana will not account for more than one- fourth of the increase in yield.
 To demonstrate more fully that the use of improved methods is largely re- sponsible for the remarkable increase shown, the reports from two of the large establishments in Texas. one us- ing the cup and apron system and the other cutting boxes into the tree. are compared. The establishment us- ing the cup and apron system reported Q yield of 1872 barrels of turpentine 1.500 barrels of turpentine for thirty i've crops where the old methods were employed, 6S.2 casks per crop for the cup aLd apron system as against a 8 for boxes.
 Both companies were operating for the first year and timber and weather conditions were practically the same The two establishments reporting these figures employ a high standard of bus mess methods and the figures given arc reliable. FoFty-two barrels is coneid- cred a fair average yield for the first year the trees are bled and where boxes are used.
 In Texas and Louisiana a greater percentage of operators own their own timber. Some of the most extensive places in these States are operated by large numbering companies or corpor- ations who are bleeding their trees for turpentine and rosin previous to con- verting them into lumber. These com panies have carefully and systematic ally studied both methods of turpen- timing and the fact that the new meth

FOR PACIFIC MONTHLY

One of the leading articles to ap.

ard, telegraph editor of the East Ore

ton. It shows how this policy has re-
suited in a proposed constitutional
amendment permitting the building Of

which If undertaken will be numbered

London, March 30.-Foreign Sec
retary Grey told the house of COM
mons yesterday that when Germany
completed her present naval program
she would have % battleships Of the
Dreadnaught type. making her su-
preme in naval affairs among world
powers. Grey urged a more liberal
policy in connection with naval affairs
in Great Britain. The secretary then
referred to Anglo German relations In
general terms and grew more amica-
BILE. as though fearing his speech
would sound warlike. The speaker
said only two things could distrub

These would be an attempt by Eng
land to Isolate Germany or an effort
by any one continental power to DOM
mate the policy Of Europe.
