Washington reports five month government investigation into timber supply for the Southern States naval stores industry. Findings favor the new cup system over the old box method, noting less tree injury and longer tree life, with western expansion of turpentine operations and looming supply exhaustion within fifteen years.
The text warns that living trees will be severely curtailed and timber production may drop within ten years. It notes misgivings about pine timber in Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas held by large companies who resist increased tapping. As a result naval stores may not match Atlantic Coast activity.
