be Useq ’for ag_r:cullure. at the pleasuce of the owner, to
nothing of the fmore rapid growtn of the pine tree i ‘ W,
ment of the soil. T
In the county of Charlton, Georgia. there cre a dozen. tur~
pentine stills, and the operator of one of these places givesthe
following figures. ~ Naval stores during 1926-$117,197.98 and
in 1927 when the prices'were far below normal, the sales from.
lhaLgin‘me plait™was “$90,207.56, or n mean average for the two
yegrs .of $103.703.77.© Now multiply these last figures by
twelye and you get some idea of what pine forests meaus to
Charlfon County, Georgia. At the same time the Citizens Bank
of Folksfon, Georgia, gives the folowiig figurés of cattle shipped
from Cl:atfton County, Georgia since May cfi 1928: over $60,000.00
and these fiq:rcs do notinclude those beeves butchered locally,
The siynifitant feature of the cattle industry in Southeast Geor
gia, 1s the fact that, while thousa~ds of scrub caltle are being sold
and shipped away from the section, there are hundreds of pure
bred bulis being brought info the seclion to improve the herds.
W kiile discussing the pine tree and th 2 beef type of cattie
we must not lose sight of the ola milch cow, who is not only a
liberal contributor so- the Georgia household, but one that is
clusely 'inked to the combination of the pine tree and cattle
The dai. y castle may require more attention and time, siill there
is no m.re profitable member of the farm family than this dairy
cow. ' “She does as well on the range as any beef type and pays
her way even more than does the beef steer. In this modern
dny of good roads and motor transportation, milk routes are ap
peariny throughout all Southeast Georfis, The miik, when
more than the family can use, is separated, and the cream sold to
the crenmeries at a good price, While the skimmed milk is
sec to the pigs and show a big profit, while that weekly or
moathly cream check, in many iastances, not only feed the COWS,
but ke ps the farmer out of debt for his curreat supplies or g
least materially aids in duing o, “ :
There is absolutely no one thing in all the grand state of
Georgin, that will yield so big or 82 good a profit on money inves
ted, than thatold pine tree, for even at the low price of naval stores
of today, onecrop of trees, ten thousand boxes or cups will yield
about fifty barrels of spirits of turpentine, valued at $25.00 per
burre), and about one nundred and seventy-five barrels of rosin,
velued at sl2 00 per barrel or a total of $3350.00. These boxes,
may be worked from four to six years before discarding for tur.
pentine, then the frees may be used for piling, if it is a tall,
straight tree, and if it be a swort stucky free, then it would be
more valuable to be manufactured into lumber, or cross i s.
