Excerpt from Mineral Resources of the United States, 1924, Vol. 2: Nonmetals Parish, La., which, however, will not be worked or some time. The agreement between the American producers and the Sicilian Sulphur Consortium, described in Mineral Resources for 1922 and 1923, has apparently aided the Sicilian producers. Prior to the World War the annual production of sulphur in Sicily averaged over long tons. The production during and since the war has decreased materially, owing largely to the increased competition for European markets by chea ly produced American sulphur from Louisiana and Texas mines. T e historical table on page 3 shows the tremendous increase in recent years in the exports of sulphur from the United States. In 1922 the production of sulphur in Sicily had dwindled to long tons, but in 1923 it increased to long tons, and in 1924 it amounted to long tons. From 1880 through 1903 an average annual production of long tons of sulphur was made, starting with over 500 tons in 1880 and approximating tons in 1903.
