NAVAL STORES
PRODUCERS TOLD
OF ACID METHOD
With Jail and the end of the
season approaching, many turpen
tine 'producers using the bark hack
and acid are concerned about what
to do when work is stopped this fall.
A good many producers who have
used acid in previous years prefer
to put on a final wide untreated
streak in the fall. This removes all
the acid treated tissue and prevents
the acid from climbing the tree
during the winter months.
A cleanup bark hack streak put
on in the fall will remove most of
the acid killed tissue above the face
and if n o acid is applied to this
streak very little “lightering” of the
wood will occur during the winter.
Also, by removing the acid treated
tissue in the fall, the first streak in
the next spring can be treated with
acid and gum production started
without having to put on two or
more streaks to cleanup the “lighter
ed wood.” The fall cleanup streak
should be about three-fourths of an
inch or wider if necessary to get
out of the acid. This streak should
remove all of the acid treated tis
sue and leave the face in good con
dition for resumption of work in the
spring. This fall cleanup streak will
produce little gum.
Some producers prefer to wait and
put on two or more cleanup streaks
in the spring. These producers con
tend that their chippers who work
on shares like this system. Their
reason for preferring this system is
that acid can be applied to the
spring cleanup streak and a gum
yield secured, whereas, in the fall
cleanup streak, where acid should
n’t be used, little yield will be ob
tained. The fall cleanup streak re
quires removal of less bark and de
creases the amount of chipping. The
principal advantage the fall clean
up streak has over the spring clean
up is that it conserves the face. The
fall cleanup usually requires only
one cleanup streak, whereas, the
spring cleanup will usualiy require
| two or more streaks to get out of
the acid penetration and causes you
to climb the face faster
Producers can safely use either
system. If you follow the spring
cleanup system, remember, you must
chip out of the “lightered wood”
® into live tissue before applying the
acid, otherwise, you will obtain lit
| tie or no gum yield from the first
| streak. In either case don’t chip a
round acid treated face with the old
I wood hack and destroy the good
I practice of keeping the tree round.
If you plan to raise your cups
| this winter on bark chipped faces,
I use the spiral gutter tacked on with
B the double-headed nail. The Naval
I Stores Conservation Program will
» I pay l’4c per face for the initial use
S of spiral gutters and double-headed
H nails on 1954 virgin or faces ele-
Bvated for the first time in 1954. The
spiral gutter is curved to fit the
"I round shape of the tree and pre
^Bvents loss of gum, thereby, consid
■erably increasing the yield. By at
t’chmg the gutter with the double
■hsaded nails you cm easily remove
■el! metal when the face is worked
H out, then you can sell the entire
Kworked face for sawtimber, pulp
« wood or poles.

CAGE SEASON
TUESDAY NIGHT
Jesup Quintets
Invade Local
Court October 20
The Nahunta High School basket
ball teams will pry the lid off their
1953-54 cage schedule on Tuesday,
October 20, when they play host to
the fast Jesup squads in the Nahun
ta gymnasium.
Getting the jump on other cage
teams in this vicinity, the Nahunta
squads will play games on Tuesdays,
Thursdays and Saturdays until the
football season is over and then the
Brantley County eagers will swing
into high gear.
The Nahunta boys are coached
again this year by Bob Alexander
with Ernie Grubbs directing the
girls squad. Alexander is a veteran
in his fifth year at the helm of
the Wildcats while Grubbs is a new
comer to the South Georgia coach
ing picture.
Alexander, a graduate of Florida
Southern College at Lakeland, has
amassed an impressive record dur
ing his tenure at Nahunta. The
Wildcats have enjoyed successful
seasons each year under the genial
gentleman from Indiana and the
1953-54 season should be the best
yet.
Grubbs, whose education was
gained at Franklin College at Frank
lin Indiana, is a newcomer to the
coaching ranks in this section but
has already established a reputation
on the hardwood floors as a mem
ber of a Waycross City League
team.
Both Alexander and Grubbs hail
from Richmond, Indiana, one of the
top basketball producing regions of
the nation. The duo has perhaps as
much basketball knowhow as any
pair of coaches in the state and the
Nahunta teams should be district
contenders by mid-season.
WILDCAT RETURNEES
With Grubbs assisting Alexander
with the boys team, the Wildcats
should be one of the hottest aggre
gations in South Georgia. All five
first stringers from last years’ quin
tet reported for opening practice
sessions with only one varsity per
former being lost by graduation.
Ten candidates for the Wildcat
team have shown exceptional abili
ty in drills to date and from this
group the starting lineup for the
opener against Jesup will be select
ed. They are forwards Johnny Cle
land, Aubrey Highsmith, Ralph Wil
lis, centers Carl Highsmith, Lee
Ham, and Ronnie Smith and guards
Lonza Griffin, Donald Dußose, Bob
by Chancey and Addison Strickland.
Any five of this group should be
able to hold their own with the ma
jority of quintets in the district.
NAHUNTA SEXTET
Coach Ernie Grubbs’ Nahunta las
sies also have a number of letter
winners back from the 1952-53
squad. Although names are not a
vailable at present, the starting line
up which will be released prior to
the opening game will show a num
ber of experienced performers wear
ing the Nahunta colors.
With the returnees and a number
of newcomers that have shown up
Arell in post-season drills, the Na
nunta sextet will again be one of
the leading girls teams in South
Georgia.
Even though comparative strength
of Eighth District cage teams is un
known this early in the season, Na
hunta is surely bound to become
a heavy contender for the district
crowns long before tourney time.
Nahunta is one of the top cage
towns in the state, having produced
a number of well-known players as
well as a few athletes who have
gained renown in other sports.
