NEW EXPERIMENTS
TURPENTINING.
The Government Forest Bureau Has
Chipping Only the Maturep Tree* and
Reducing the 8ize and Number of
<_• -Wound* Is Found to Increase the
Yield as well a* Extend the Life of
the Crop—Matter* of Information
on the Subject.
Ever since the Forest Service Intro
duced the cup and gutter system of
jturpenttlning, which lessens the In
jury done the trees In the process of
bleeding, experiments have been car
ried on toward still further reducing
the wound Inflicted In harvesting tur
pentine crops, says a Washington
dispatch. The common practice In
chipping the trees Is-still to cut the
trunks so deeply to form the “face 1
from which the rosin exudes, and to
cut so many faces on each tree, that
the life of trees Is shortened unnec
essarily and waste results. After
a study of this practice It was found
by experiment that the resin ducts
within a quarter of an inch of the sur
face of the wood are larger, more
numerous, and more free-flowing than
those lying deeper. Two questions
then suggest themselves: First,
whether shallower clipping might
not secure at least an equal crop, and
at the same time prolong the pro
ductive life of the trees; and, second,
whether profit would not be found
In chopin-g only the mature trees.
To answer these questions experi
ments have been begun near Jack
sonville, Fla., on 40,000 trees, or five
crops of 8,000 trees each, including
all sizes from six Inches In diameter
upward. One crop has worked in
the ordinary way, both as to height
#nd depth of the faces cut upon each
tree. This served as a standard by
'? which to measure results obtained
from the novel methods tried in the
four others. With the first experi
mental crop the chipping was reduc
ed to half the ordinary depth; in the
second, to half the ordinary height;,
and 1!* the third, to half .both the or-
height and depth. In the
experimental crop, limited to
i w trees 10 inches and ove* In diameter,

The consequence is that there Is very
little in the city to remind of the
town she saw when last here.
Chairman Tom McKey, of the old

__ ”ln the standard crop, but all trees be- 1
tween 10 inches in diameter
had not more" than two faces, whereas
the usual practice Is to chip more
faces on trees of these sizes. In ad
dition. an innovation was made in
this crop by chipping somewhat nar
rower faces on the smaller trees and
somewhat wider ones on the larger
so as to preserve a more constant
ratio than commonly between the
width of the faces and the girth of
the trees.
It Is too soon to attempt a state
ment. in exact figures of the results
already secured, and final determina
tion must wait until the experiments
shall have run for the regular com
mercial period of three or four years.
The yield for this year points, how
ever, to the following conclusions:
Reducing the size of the face by
one-half in height or depth will give
an equal first-year yield and a larger
total yield for the working period.
Reducing the size of the face one-
half In both height and depth will
materially Increase the annual yield,
owing to the lessened Injury to the
vitality of the tree.
Crops of the larger-sized trees with
fewer and smaller faces will prdduce
a considerably larger annual yield
than ordinary crops. In which large
and small trees are chipped severely
and the larger trees have moro faces.
Thus the conservative method will
Insure the best annual ylcfcd and the
best total yield for the working peri
od. The most Important gain, how
ever, Is likely to be found in the
longer period during which the trees
can be cropped. It Is Relieved that
by cropping the larger only and
reducing the size and number of fac
•* the cropping can continue for eight
or ten years, by which time the small
er trees will be ready to take their
places. Thus the same area will
