New Orleans, La., March 15, 1912.] 



THE LUMBER TRADE JOURNAL 



The falling off in the output in recent years is at- 

 tributed to the depletion of the pines which produce 

 the turpentine, chiefly longleaf. Old turpentine re- 

 gions become exhausted, and the operators move on 

 to new areas. Georgia was once a much larger pro- 

 ducer than it now is, while Louisiana and Texas 

 furnished little. The center of supply has moved 

 west, and old districts have declined more and more. 



USES OF WOODS. 



The following list shows the uses of each of the 

 woods in Mississippi, so far as reported by the man- 

 ufacturers; but it would be misleading to conclude 

 that these are all the uses of the woods, or even all 

 the uses to which they are put in the state. Manu- 

 facturers generally regard only the most important 

 uses; the places wh-ere it has served them 'best, and 

 this fact should be kept in mind when considering
