NAVAL STORES IMPORTANT IN.
soUTH's INDUSTRIAL HISTORY.

THE naval stores industry is one of
the oldest industries in the United
States, deriving it's name from the
fact that in the early days pitch from
pine trees was commonly used to make
wooden vessels water-tight," says Il.
s. Kellogg of the United States For
est Service. THE term has persisted
to this day, though the products long
ago found other and more important
uses.
THE turpentining Of pine timber be-
gan in New England with the pitch
or yellow pine, Of that region, but It
was in North Carolina that the FIRST
extensive development of the naval
stores industry occurred. The records
show that from 176S to 1870 the aver
age exports OF naval stores to England
included SSH barrels of crude tur-
pentine, 2O,646 barrels OF pitch, and
1896 barrels OF tar Most of the
crude was shipped to England for
distillation through the ports Of VIII
lmington and Newbern.
"The supplanting of the iron retort
by the copper stlll In 1884 greatly in
creased the output Of volatile oil and
gave much impetus TO the industry,
However, previous to 1914 not over
one-half OF the production In North
Carolina was distilled at home. Then.

North Carolina reached It's maxi
mum in naval stores productieAf in

$50 gallons Of turpentine, Rpd 66S,967
barrels OF rosin. A comparison of this
great expectation with a total produe-
ton In North Carolina IN 1908 OF
1884, gallons OF turpentine and 49,
900 barrels OF rosln tells the story OF
the exhaustion Of the lOng.leaf pine
IN that State. South Carolina attained
its maximum output Of naval stores
