BOOSTING PINE TREE YIELD
The South’s pine trees will get
chemical shots this year to boost
by 50 per cent their yield of criti
cally-needed turpentine and rosin
for war uses, according to Malcolm
B. Johnson, writing for the Asso
’ dated Press from Olustee, Fla. The
treatment consists simply of brushing
’ or spraying the scarred face of the
tree with sulphuric acid every time
the exuding gum is chipped off.
The idea was rushed out of the
i experimental stage as a war proj
ect of the United States Southern
Forest Experiment Station at Olus
tee, Mr. Johnson reports, and has
been recommended for general use
in 1943. He says twenty private
operators tried it with success on
160,000 trees the past season. T. A.
Liefeld, who has charge of the re
search, said it is the only method
known to counter-attack labor short
age that in 1942 held naval stores
production far below the nation’s
* war-time needs.
* Along with the acid treatment,
> federal scientists also have made a
• good start toward developing a strain
of super pines—grown by taking
• cuttings from abnormally high
yielding trees—that they hope will
■ produce two or even three times as
1 much gum by ordinary methods as
the present run-of-the-woods trees.
In 1941, the Southeastern region,
which turns out the nation’s whole
supply of naval stores products, took
from living trees only 285,000 units
of 50 gallons of turpentine and 1,-
400 pounds of rosin each. The war
multiplied demands for rosin and it
thousand uses in making such things
as ammunition, adhesives, plastics
and paper. So the government ask
ed for 450,000 units in 1942. The
only! way to increase production was
to work more trees. That required
more labor, and workers were
scarce. The output fell more than
100,000 units behind the goal.
When a slash or long-leaf pine is
“streaked” with a V-shaped cut low
on its trunk, it will give off gum
from which turpentine and rosin
are distilled. The scientists found
that, if a 40 per cent sulphuric acid
solution is applied to each streak
when it is made, the trees will yield
from 50 to 60 per cent moie gum
and the flow will continue for two ;
weeks. Thus the work can be done ।
by half the men required to make
a new streak every week and the i
production will be the same as with i
>resent methods, Mr. Liefeld said.
The scientists havent’ found out
what happens to increas t the flow of
■rum under chemical stimulation.
They are hunting for the secret, but
about all they know now is that
does happen and that there is no in
Iciation the increased flow harms
r either the tree or the gum. In fact
t gum from stimulated trees usually
r is about one grade higher in quality
r The acid is cheap, $25 worth being
n enough to treat 10,000 trees, Mr.
Liefeld said.—Savannah News.

No Date Set Yet for
Drafting Married Men
• Washington, —The date for
* drafting married men with
। children Tuesday is still uncer
• tain in the opinion of War Man
• power Commissioner Paul V.
• McNutt.
; Asked at a press conference
1 about the possibility that fathers
1 might be drafted about the
i middle of the year, McNutt said:
1 “I don’t think it would be
i wise to excite men with children
! by naming a date no one can be
certain of/’
He said the size of the armed
forces would be one factor in
। determining the date.
The WMO chief promised,
। however, that men with children
would be given "as much notice
1 as possible, and have an element
; of certainty in it.”
