TURPENTINE FROM STUMPS. 
On page 678 I notice your mention of the 
“turpentine from stumps” proposition. My 
duties in connection with the Lilly Orchard 
Company require t lie spending of several 
weeks each year at our pecan grove in south¬ 
ern Mississippi. At Moss Point, near our 
plant, a <*>mpany was organized, possibly by 
these same men. to make turpentine and al¬ 
lied products from pine refuse: thus making 
valuable the material we bad been paying out 
good money to get rid of. I was approached 
with the stock proposition, but the alluring 
prospects held out did not allure. The works 
were established. A good many thousand dol¬ 
lars went into the plant first, and into the at¬ 
tempt to make it a go afterward. They made 
turpentine ali right. The turpentine is in 
the stumps, and distilling brings it out. But 
like the “gold from seawater" company this 
company found the bringing of it out cost 
more than the product would sell for. Fur¬ 
thermore, they learned that the product ob¬ 
tained was inferior and brought a less 
price. As a result the company lias aban¬ 
doned the work, for the present at least, and 
I believe permanently: and the investments 
of the stock purchasers have passed over to 
join the “silent majority" of stock' invest¬ 
ments in untested projects. R. o. o.
