DITTER, Managers PITCH PUNTS PUNNED ICRPEXTIXE MILLS FIXITUEV KEED'XEW SUPPLY. Testa In Northwest Forest Show Yellow Pine Yields Goodly Supply of Liquid. Another Industry may bo added to Oregon's list In the near future If a report just completed by Forest Ex aminer R. H. WeitKnecht of the Port land office is to have an influence with turpentine manufacturers. The district- forester's office is hoping that its appropriation for investigat ive work may be large enough to en able it to carry on additional studies this year which would pave the way for development of this new unused forest resource, pitch. The yellow pine forests of the south Atlantic and Gulf states are fast dis appearing and the industry must seek new fields. Previous experiments conducted by the forest service have shown that western yellow pine yields a good grade of "pitch," from which turpentine and rosin are made, though the amount of the yield of Oregon trees was very much less than those of Florida. When the demand for these products becomes keen enough It is not unlikely that the Industry will establish Itself on the Pacific coast, and thus may give additional value to the extensive, yellow pine forests of eastern Oregon and Wash ington. Captain Weltknecht, while In France, had an opportunity to see tur pentining in the maritime forests on the Bay of Biscay, and learned some thing of the French methods, which are applicable in this country. He has proposed a policy for the govern ment to follow in the pine forests of the west. Plans Go to Engineer. SALEM. Or, Jan. 29. (Special.)
