back again into the condition in which we once had it. Many 
industries have been developed on a much narrower basis of 
saving than that just indicated. Adjacent to each of our 
turpentine stills there should be found one or more for rosin 
oil, placed on a lower level, so that the molten rosin could be 
run directly from the one to the other and destructive distilla- 
tion of the rosin begun. The stills for rosin oil being made 
of iron are not expensive and the skill required for distilling 
is far less than in the distillation of crude turpentine. 
Again, but little labor would be required, nor would it be 
necessary to find markets or uses for the products: these 
already exist and are constantly increasing. With such mani- 
fest advantage we should be able to locate the whole of this 
industry in our midst.
