FORESTRY AND IRRIGATION 



October 



by representatives of the Forest Ser- 

 vice at the expense of the Service. 



3. The schedules used in the col- 

 lection of data shall be in the joint 

 name of the Bureau of the Census 

 and the Poorest Service. For the years 

 covered by the quinquennial census 

 of manufactures, the regular census 

 schedule shall carry the inquiries cov- 

 ered by the schedule for the statistics 

 of forest products, the work being 

 made part of the regular census of 

 manufactures ; the results, however, 

 to be tabulated separately as soon as 

 obtained and placed at the disposal of 

 the Forest Service. 



4. Immediately upon completing 

 the statistics for each year, the results 

 shall be printed in bulletins by the 

 Bureau of the Census in which the 

 joint arrangement between the two 

 bureaus shall be referred to and prop- 

 er credit given to the Forest Service. 

 The reports from the manufacturers 

 shall be available for the information 

 of the Forest Service as soon as ob- 

 tained. 



5. The Forest Service shall turn 

 over to the Bureau of the Census cop- 

 ies of all lists of names and addresses 

 of producers and consumers of forest 

 products that have been compiled in 

 connection with this work. The For- 



est Service shall have the right to keep 

 in its possession such lists of names 

 corrected by the Census lists to be 

 used for the mailing of its publica- 

 tions and other matters connected 

 with its regular work. 



6. A member of the Forest Service 

 designated by the Forester will be ap- 

 pointed Expert Special Agent of the 

 Bureau of the Census. The Expert 

 Special Agent will determine the kind 

 and amount of data to be collected, 

 and the time of sending out the sched- 

 ules. He will give technical advice 

 whenever necessary for the interpre- 

 tation of reports and will prepare the 

 text of resulting publications. The 

 Chief Statistician for Manufactures of 

 the Bureau of the Census will decide 

 all questions of tabulation and compu- 

 tation which do not involve a technical 

 knowledge of the industry concerned. 

 In case of disagreement between the 

 Expert Special Agent and the Chief 

 Statistician of Manufactures, the mat- 

 ter shall be referred to the Director 

 of the Census and the Forester. The 

 salaries and expenses of the Expert 

 Special Agent and any other technical 

 foresters who may be assigned to the 

 work will be paid by the Forest Ser- 

 vice. All other expenses will be borne 

 bv the Bureau of the Census. 



CAUSES UNDERLYING THE LIMITED 



PRODUCTION OF CREOSOTE 



IN THE UNITED STATES 



IN 1903 the United States produced 

 62,964,400 gallons of coal tar, with 

 a gross value of $2,199,970 or a val- 

 ue per gallon of $0.0349. In 1904 

 the production was increased to 69,- 

 498,085 gallons. The gross value, 

 however, declined to 2,114,421 dollars. 

 making the value per gallon only 

 $0.0304. Of this coal tar produced in 

 [904, 41,726,970 gallons came from 

 gas works, and 27,771,115 gallons, 

 from coke ovens. About one-half of 

 the gasworks product is distilled, the 



other half being used as paving ma- 

 terials and for other local purposes. 

 Practically all the coal tar from the 

 "by-product" coke ovens is distilled ; 

 from the "bee-hive" coke ovens, how- 

 ever, little or no coal tar is collected. 

 The creosote distilled from all sources 

 in the United States in 1903 amounted 

 to about 4,000,000 gallons. In the 

 same year 3,711,565 gallons were im- 

 ported from Germany and England. In 

 1904 the domestic product had risen 

 to 4,863,400 gallons, while the amount
