TUNG OIL INDUSTRY
HELD AID TO SOUTH
FIELD LABORATORY NOW BEING
SET UP HERE AND AT 2
OTHER PLACES.
Dr. C. C. Concannon, chief in the
chemical division in the U. S. Com
merce Departments’s Bureau of For- 1
eign and Domestic Commerce, who has j
been in the south for several days in
specting the progress made in the de
velopment of the tung oil industry, and
attending the annual convention of the
American Tung Oil Association, at
Gulfport, Miss., declares that this
comparatively new industry is proving
an aid to the south, economically.
John Wight, of Cairo, was last week
elected as the 'Georgia director of the
association, after representing this
state at the Gulfport convention.
Dr. Concannon said he regrets, how
ever, that less than five per cent of
domestic requirements are being pro
duced in this country, the bulk being
supplied by China.
“Dependence upon a foreign source
for an essential raw material is not
good business practice and the dan
gers of such a situation are especially
emphasized in the case of tung oil, in 1
connection with which there have been
in the past great variations in quality
and wide fluctuations in price,” he
Because of the lack of accurate in
formation on the extent and character
of plantings in the United States, Con
cannon said, the Commerce Depart
ment’s Bureau of Census will make
an agricultural survey in 1940 based
on data for 1939.
He said recent conditions hindering
shipment from China were definite
boons to the indstry in this country’s
•southern states. The annual

felt an awful tug. Sensing something
unusual, he was careful and maneuver
ed so that he got the fish close to
shore. Then he was amazed to find
it a big one, indeed. Now with a small
perch tackle and a number 7 Carlisle
hook you are not in position to talk
too fast to the big-uns. He didn’t.
•For fifteen minutes he played the
fish, then, an attempt to haul him in
■was unsuccessful. For an hour and a
half Mr. Dortch played the* fish and
had his hands on him six times before
finally landing him. The carp weigh
ed 16 pounds and laughed when he
saw the tackle that had brought him j
in.
Pig With Eight Legs Not
Wanted By Fellows.
Moultrie__Not only is Colquitt
county one of the best swine produc
ing counties in the south, but occas
ionally unusual pigs are farrowed!
there. Not long ago a stow at the
model swine sanitation set-up at the
zo-ological laboratory near Swift’s
plant farrowed eight pigs, one of
which had eight legs. The pig left;
its mother and visited a neighboring;
so\v for sustenance. However, the pigs;
of the neighboring sow would have'
nothing to do with the strange crea- j
Lure and it ran away. The eight-leg- j
ged pig died the next day and was j
preserved in alcohol by Dr. L. W.
Swanson, who is in charge of the lab
oratory. A few years ago a pig with
tout hind legs was born in Colquitt
county. The pig soon learned to bal
ance itself on two front legs and got

pig weighted about 200 pounds.
Owl Is Speared By
Auto.
Thomson__A new way tto catch
game was displayed by Jean Farr of
Thomson to his friend the other day.
Since so many of them believe in the
theory “seein’s believin’ ” he brought
back the actual evidence. While driv
ing along in his the other night, Mr.
Farr saw a large bird swerve in front
of his car and thought his car struck
the bird. He found that the sharp

thought his car struck the bird, He
found that the sharp decorative em
blem on his l-adiator cap had neatly
speared the owl (of the screeching
variety) through the body. He let the
bird remain on his radiator and many
who saw it thought it was merely
something new in auto deorations sim
ilar to the recent craze for fox tails.
Pinehurst Cat Is Mother To
148 Kittens.
Pinehurst__Theodore L. Roberts,
Pinehui’st merchant, is the owner of a
yellow female cat which, according to
his records, is the miother of 148 kit
tens, which, in our estimation breaks
any and all cases on the books. Mr.
Roberts states that the cat, whose
name is Nelly, is in her 19th year,
and has been with him all of her life
Aberdeen, S. D.—This 9-year-old
girl, Ruth Palmer, the daughter of a
farmer near here, is a South Dakota
sensation. She has sung to hundreds
of Legion groups, .Farmers Union and
government programs, including the

Madison, Wis., last fall. She has hun

Concannon said 1937 tung oil im
ports from China totaled 175,000,000
pounds valued at $20,000,000 but in
1938 this figure had dropped to 108,

The U. S. Agriculture Department

vestigation of the tung oil industry,
Dr. Henry G. Knight, chief of the
Bureau of Chemistry and Soils, said.
Dr. Knight said field laboratories
were now being set up at Bogalusa,
La., Gainesville, .Fla., and Cairo. The
work here is in charge of John H.
Painter. One of the five U. S. tung oil
extraction mills is noW in operation
here.
A congressional appropriation, Dr.
Knight said, will be divided be
tween the Agriculture Department’s
Bureau of Plant Industry and the Bu
reau of Chemistry and Soils. The for
mer will study the industry all the
way from planting to harvesting. The
latter will investigate the tung fruit
and nuts from harvesting on through

Hitch Hiker Finds Sure
Way To Ride. !
Elberton__Not only are there new
and modern trends in the women’s
hats, but we find they are also in the
hitch-hikers equipment. The other day
Policeman Hal Fortson of Elberton,
picked up a hitch-hiker who wa-> stand-.
ing by the side of the road with a
gallon gasoline can in his hand. Think
ing the man had run out of gas he of
fered to give him a lift. After the;
man was situated in the car, he smiled
and showed the officer how he had
fashioned the can into a suitcase that
held his clothes. He said his invention
never failed to get a lift for him be
cause fe\v drivers would pass a man
whom they thought wag walking to his
car with a can of gas.
Drunk Is Generous With
Stolen Auto.
Atlanta—We have all heard of
generous people, but never before of
one quite so generous as one Ira Smith
met the other night. He was appro-'
ached by a slightly intoxicated man
who asked him to drive his car, which;
he did until ordered to stop. The man
got out, waved his hand and said,
“You can have the automobile.” Be
fore the much surprised impromptu
chauffeur could gain his wits, the kind
felliow disappeared. Of course, Smith
turned the car over to local police,
who, no doubt, 'will receive a call for
the car as soon as the man is rid of
his hangover.
