Naval Stores May-
Become Sandhills
Industry Again
Thirteen farmers met at West
Knd Wednesday night to consider
the possibility of starting a small
turpentine industry, with a view
to bringing back the naval stores
business to this area.
'F’be meeting was conducted by
Representative J. V. Whitfield, of
Pender county, who has made a
thorough study of this business.
“It has always been a dream of
mine to see North Carolina get
back into the nayal stores indus
try,” Mr. Whitfield said, after giy-
ing a brief survey of the potenti
alities of this type of enterprise.
“The Sandhills area is by far the
largest in the state, with Wilming
ton second, which is suitable for
puch a project,” he said.
A detailed antdysis of "the in
dustry, was presented by R. H.
Page, state forester for the Bladen
Lakes State Forest at Elizabeth
town. Mr. Page explained that
this forest has been operated at a
profit with only three thousand
trees, in spite of a poor season, a
late start, and poor labor. At
present it represents the only
commercial turpentine industry
in North Carolina.
J. R. Moses, naval stores tech
nician, attached to the Department
of Conservation and Development,
presented a plan for a small oil-
burning still, costing around
$7,000, as the essential unit of this
project. It was suggested that
Aberdeen would be an ideal loca
tion for the still.
Mr. Moses estimated that eight
thousand trees would be sufficient
to start with and suggested that
those present who were interested
fom a cooperative in order to
gain the maximum profit.
“This business is almost a case
of having your cake and eating it
too,” the expert said. He ex
plained that the new method of
obtaining the sap is by the use of
acid and leaves the tree round;
only some of the bark is removed.
