dertook the studies with whose re-
suits you have long been familiar.
The efforts of DR.. Herty and other
experimenters have demonstrated con-
clusively that improved methods. in
which a cup is used to catch the crude
turpentine and the box done away
with, result in the production of a
larger quantity of turpentine and ros-
in, high grades of the latter, longer
life to the timber and greatly lessened
damage from fire and wind. The in
PRODUCTION Of these methods is the
first step in conservative turpen lining
Because of the increased initial cost
of the equipment such methods have
not appealed to the smaller operators
who have little capital, and whose OPP
erations extend over only two or three
years in a given locality. They are
unquestionably profitable to the larger
operators and especially to those who,
working upon their own timber, have
the most inducements to handle It
carefully. Only within the last five
years have these improved methods
been introduced upon a commercial
scale.
Yet the fact that alreaedy one-sev-
enth of the entire output of naval
stores is by those methods, and that
in the newer fields and most up-to-
date operations they are used most
largely demonstrates that they have
passed far beyond the experimental
stage.

or the Oldest INDUSTRIES III tuS
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-tfght. 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 1t
was In North Carolina that the first
extensive development of the naval
stores industry occurred. The records
show that from 1853 to ITO the av-
erage exports Of naval stores to Eng
land included SS,111 barrels of crude
turpentine, z0,646 barrels of pitch and
1896 barrels of tar. Most Of the
crude was shipped to England for dis
tillation through the ports of VIII
mington and Newbern.
The supplanting of the iron retort
by the copper still in 1884 greatly
increased the output of volatile oil
and gave much impetus to the indus
try. However, previous to 1874 not
over one-half of the production in
North Carolina was distilled at home.
Then, because of the poor market for
resin, the stills were transferred from
the ports to the woods, and a heavy
onslaught upon long-leaf pine forests
of the south began.
North Carolina reached its maxi
mum in naval stores production in
1880, with an expectation of 6,279-,
ESQ gallons of turpentine, and sos, 1867
barrels of resin. comparison OF
this great expectation with total pro
duction in North Carolina in 1908 of
$4,000 gallons of turpentine and 49,
900 barrels of rosin tells the story OF
the exhaustion of the long-leaf pine in
that state. South Carolina attained
its maximum output of naval stores
IN 1882, only two years after that 81
North Carolina The invasion of new
forests of virgin timber brought Geor
gia to the front few years later, but

earlier operations of the turpentiner
were comparable in their destructive
ness only to those which swept the
buffalo from the western plains. The
buffalo was killed for the hide and
horns; the long-leaf pine tree for
gallon or two of turpentine and few
pounds of resin.
The destructiveness OF the box sys-
tenn at last became so apparent and
widespread that to perpetuate their in

Next Meeting of Governor and Council
Wednesday, May II, at p. M.

DR.. A. G. Young of Augusta, sec
retary of the State board OF health,
Monday, In discussing the rules in
force in this State regarding the trans
portation of dead bodies, stated that
some of the points called for should
not be required and that it would be
a good thing if they were simplified.
He also limited that national legisla-
ton on the subject might be salts
factory way out of the difficulty. Said
DR. Young:
"When we adopted the regulations
now in vogue in the State we did so
for the sake of having the Maine regu-
lations uniform with those in existence
in other states, for unless they are uni
form undertakers and embalmers IN
shipping bodies to other states, would
be liable to have the bodies held,
which would make no end of trouble
SO we adopted the present rules, hop
ing to use our influence at the con-
ferenccs of state and provincial boards
of health in the future that we might
succeed in getting some modification
of these rules.
Our board has long spoken for and
believed in the desirability of having
some Congressional legislation which
would cover the interstate transporta-
ton of dead bodies and that way bring
about a complete uniformity OF re-
uuirements in all the states Some
thing of this sort is now in the air.
The board of health of this State ana
the boards of other states have been
working for it and hope that it may
soon be brought about
Or. Young emphasized the fact that
while the present regulations in many
cases seemed mere complicated than
necessary they would have to be car
ried ont until new ones were adopted.
During the past few weeks under
takers from various sections Of the
state have taken up this matter With
DR.. Young and expressed wish thai
the regulations might be simPlified.
