Report upon the forestry investigations of the of agriculture1877-1898 . found itself compelled at last to buy the landand to establish a forest organization to keep its mountains from being converted into desertbrush lands and its streams from being alternately dry branches and mud torrents. THE NAVAL STORE INDUSTRY. The most important indnstrj^ in the United States concerned in the utilization of by-productsfrom the forest is the tanbark industry, which was at great length canvassed and discussed involume 3, Reports on Forestry. Next to it in importance stands the turpentine or naval stoieindustry, which is practically confined to the ijineries of the Southern States within a belt of about100 miles in width along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts from North Carolina to Louisiana. The imiiortaiice of this latter industry is found not only in the value of its products, namely,nearly $10,000,000 worth per year, furnishing the bulk of the naval stores used in all the world, Reprinted mostly from Report of the Chief of Division of Forestrj^ for 1892.
