UTILIZATION OF
YELLOW PINE.
Wise Utilization of Whole Tree
Will Forestall Shortage in
Southern Yellow Pine.
t ( In fifteen or twenty at
years,
the present rate of cutting, the
supply of the longleaf yellow pine
of the South, one of America’s
most useful forest trees will be
nearly exhausted,” say the experts
of the United States Forest Ser¬
vice. If these pine forests are
wiped out, one the South’s impor¬
tant industries will die—the pro¬
duction of the so-called naval
stores.
The lumber of the Southern yel¬
low pine brings $15 to $35 per
thousand feet, its turpentine 50
emits per gallon, its rosin from
$4.85 to $6 95 per 280 pounds, and
its pitch $8.25 per 280 pounds. All
of these prices are gradually lie
coming higher and higher on ac¬
count of the increased demand and
the scarcity of the products. For¬
merly, turpentine could be pur¬
chased f<>r 80 cents a gallon. Now
56 cents must be paid at wholesale,
and the consumer of gallon lots
will pay at times as high as $1 00
In the face of these fast increas¬
ing prices, people are found who
say that there is yet an inexhausti¬
ble supply of yellow pine in the
South, and that all talk about a
famine is unwarranted, Such
statements are not justified by
conditions and the yellow p.ne
lumbering industries will soon be
in the face of a serious shortage
unless decided changes are made
in the present methods, and unless
valuable products now' going to
waste are utilized. The longleaf
pine is a slow-growing tree and
does not make timber with any¬
where near the rapidity that it is
being cut. The situation calls for
makiug the very best use of the
present supply.
There aie at present in the
woods of the South vast quantities
of pine logs and tall stumps left
as a result of careless lumbering in
the past. This material is rich in
turpentine and could be made to
yield from ten to fifteen gallons of
refined spirits per cord, Besides
this, there is a great waste at the
sawmills in the form of slabs,
edgings, and sawdust, all of which
must have a value, but at present
is, for the most part, simply burn¬
ed to get it out of the way. In
fact, not more than 50 per cent of
the tree as it stands in the forest
cetnes to the market in the form of
valuable materials.
It: the year 1900 the reported
cut of southern yellow pine was
som« 12 billion board feet. A
conservative estimate of the actual
amount of turpentine alone, to say
nothing of wood liber aud other
materials, which could be pro¬
duced from the wastewood of this
one year, would place the amount
at not less than 30 million gallons.
This is a surprising figure, wh«n
it is remembered that it represents

an amount almost equal to the
present annual production ot gum
spirits in this country, if this
product were extracted lrom the
wood and sold at oven the current
price of good wood turpentine, the
trross saving would be easily
$14,400,000.
Men have real ized for some time
that an enormous waste of valua¬
ble substance i 9 going on, and a
few have succeeded in extracting
ti e turpentine and placing on the
market material of fairly good
quality. In the majority of cases,
however, the article has been of an
inferior grade, due gemrallv to
the fact that the technical methods
used have beer, faulty. As a re
stilt of this, weed turpentine is at
present often considered es an
adulterated material, or at best as
poor substitute *or gum spirits. It
is true that in some cases these
opinions are well founded, but in¬
ferior products have put an un¬
necessary damper on the whole
industry.
The Section of Wood Chemistry
ot the Forest Service has lately
been investigating this subject, and
some valuable results have been
obtained. It has been found that
for the recovery ot turpentine from
wastewood, the steam distillation
process is far superior to that of
distilling the wood destructively.
The crude turpentine is in all cases
more uniform, and the final refined
materials are as a rule of better
grade and can demand a higher
price. When properly made ar.d
refined, experiments have shown
that the steam turpentines are in
many cases even more uniform in
composition than the gum turpen¬
tines, and lor all practical pur¬
poses contain the identical sub-

this is a small matter in many
cases, as infinttesmal and undetect
able amounts of certain impurities
left in the refined product as the
result ot the methods ot produc¬
tion can produae this slight differ
enc° in odor, ami the wood turpen¬
tine should not be condemned for
practical purposes on this account,
This becomes still more evident
when it is known that the sweet
odor ot the gum turpentine is not
characteristic of itself, but 19 due
to an impurity produced by the
chemical action of air upon it.
These are important discoveries
and are well worthy of com-idera
tion. It they are true, then re
fined steam turpentine, properly
prepared, should bring at least an
equal price in this country with
the gum turpentine.
abroad, this is often the case, and
instances ar« on record where the
refined steam turpentine' has, by
virtue of its more uniform compo¬
sition, brought five cents a gallon
more than the gum spirits, and is
in much greater demand. Further
investigations along these lines
will be pushed vigorously by the
Forest Service.
