WASHINGTON. Dec 2i-A great un-
developed industry. worth millions Of dol
lars annually, lies at the doors OF the
people OF the south and the far north
west In tho immense waste of wood in.
oident to the manufacture Of lumber.
An amazing statement Of these wastes
and the consequent loss in wealth and

as result OF a two years government
investigation, not yet concluded. by f..
n. Veitch, chief OF the leather and paper
division OF the bureau OF chemistry and
NJ G. Donk, assistant chemist, whose
preliminary conclusions have Just been
made public
Thirty Millions a Year.
The waste wood OF the south and
northwest from the lumber industry
tops, stumps, slabs and sawdust, and the
dead and down timber from fires and
storms-furnishes one Of the great UNI
developed resources OF this country" say
the investigators. From this wood, by
industrlally developed chemical methods,

ing turpentine. rosin, tars. pitch, rosin
spirits and rosin oils. having an annual
value OF at least $50 900. may be OBJ

Of the yellow pine industry Qncluding
dead and down timber) as much or more
turpentine, rosin and rosin oils as are
now produced by the ordinary methods
OF turpentlning from the living tree. The
profitable utilization OF mill wastes In
this way would add materially to the
wealth of the south and help to conserve
It's timber resources.
Paper and Chemicals.
There Is more than sufficient waste
material to yield annually all the papers
Except news) paper and boxboard and
building board required, for which wood
is suitable.
more methyl alcohol acetate OF lime
and acetone can be produced from this
wood than is now made in the country
and large quantities of ethyl alcohol may
also be recovered.
There are millions Of acres OF cut
over land covered with stumps and dead
and down timber. all OF which. because
of it's resinous nature, decays very
slowly, enduring for years. There is
enough Of such material TO supply all

utilization Of this material are either in
