Washington fir stumps as a potential great industry
A study by Dr. George P. Frankforter of the University of Minnesota outlines how Douglas fir and northern pine stumps, rich in pitch, can yield turpentine, tar oil, tar, gas, and charcoal through destructive distillation. He notes high by product value per stump and potential for illuminating gas, with several Douglas fir districts already planning gas plants, signaling a new economic use for Washington and Oregon stump waste.
