SITUATION ACUTE
IN NAVAL Stores
lurpentine and Rosin Short
age Makes Prices Double
in Four Months.
BY j. c. RONIE.

Special Dispetch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 26-Chemists
may be called on shortly TO devise
means of increasing the supply of
turpentine and rosin which can be
produced in the United States. An
acute situation has arisen in naval
stores and prices for turpentine and
Iosln have risen until they are nearly
double those of four months ago. Sup
pies are short in all the producing
sections.
Drought affected the production in
the forests of Louisiana and Texas.
The French and Spanish crops are
short and seven weeks late. Mean
while world demand appears to have
increased for both products. Stocks
carried over from last season were the
smallest ever known. On April / there
remained only 5000 barrels OF rosin
available, compared with 900, ,00n at the
same time in 1924. Practically all the
naval stores produced in Texas.
louisiana, Mississippi and western
Alabama have been exported, and the
world now is dependent temporarily on
southeastern Alabama, Georgia and
Florida for supplies.
Crop Smaller Tran Usual.
This years crop is estimated at 10
TO 20 per cent less in size than that of
last year, which totaled ATS, 900 barrels
OF turpentine and 1,750,000 barrels of
roSln. The ordinary value of the crop
Is from $23.000000 to SIS 5000, 900.
Dispatches from men in close touch
with. the industry in Florida declare
the increase in value has been due to
increased foreign demand rejecting re-
sumption of industry in Europe and
reduction of stocks in the main ports.
The dry weather has caused the death
of considerable turpentine- producing
timber and other forests have been
WlthdraWn from naval stores produC-
tlon for lumber purposes.
Shortage i'm Laborers.
Boat building and construction work
In Florida have made such heavy
drafts on the supply of common labor
that many turpentine camps have
been stripped of their workers. -Tur-
pentine companies have been import
ing negroes, but feel lucky if they can
hold half the men they bring in
against the higher wages and more
pleasant surroundings in other in
dustries. South American consumers
are buying heavily of Florida stocks.
The Georgia operators have been
greatly encouraged by the rise in
prices. They say they have scarcely
gotten back costs of production for
some years. The unit of naval stores

only State where production is in
Creasing. The 1925 crop there Is ex-
pected to yield sl9,000,000 as against
S14,000,000 in 1924.
Bound to Save Supply.
1t is feared that the high prices may
lead to the cutting of many small
trees, but Georgia is determined that
the supply shall not be exhausted, and
