Grades And Yields Os
Rosin and Turpentine
From Crude Gum
By A. R. SHIRLEY,
Cooperative Naval Stores Agent,
Georgia Agricultural Extension
Service
There are at present twelve rosin
grades, as established by the Food and
Drug Administration under the Fed
eral Naval Stores Act. These grades
are: X, WW, WG, N, M, K, I, H,
G, F, E and D, the color increasing
from a pale yellow, “X,” to a dark
red known as “D.”
Rosin is like many other products
in that the better—in this case the
paler—grades sell for the higher
prices. Many operators, by adopting
practices whereby they produce the
paler grades of rosin, have increased
their income. If adoption of better
practices will raise the grade and

CHOOSING THE NEW CAMERA

For sharp pictures of fast-moving vacation-time games, you’ll need a
camera with high shutter speeds. A fast lens Is helpful, too, when light
conditions are adverse.
ABOUT this time of year — and
especially with vacations in the
offing—many of us feel the need of
a finer camera, with greater picture
taking ability.
A fine camera is about as easy to
operate as any other, once you are
familiar with it. But there is a differ
ence in usefulness between the finer
camera and the inexpensive model.
Under adverse conditions, especially
on dull days or with moving sub
jects, the inexpensive camera is
handicapped. It may fail to get the
very picture you want most. But
under the same conditions, the fine
camera performs capably—insuring
good pictures within much wider
limits.
pn choosing your finer camera,
consider these points carefully, so
that you can select a model which
exactly fits your picture-taking
needs:
If you want to be able to take
pictures outdoors under all daylight
conditions, bright or dull, early
morning or late afternoon, choose a
camera with a fast lens—an f. 6.3,
f t. 5 or faster. For alght snapshots
by ordinary electric light, without
"flood” lamps, get a camera with f. 2
lens. If "flood' lamps are used, a
slower lens will do.
If you want to take pictures of
moving subjects —or those likely
to move—choose a camera which
yield of a product, and if the prac
tices cost less than the revenue receiv
ed, the practices should be considered
good business.
What are the chief items that af
fect rosin grades and yields? The
Naval Stores Station at Olustee, Fla.,
has kept a wide variety of records on
these points. Over a period of six
years, 1,420 charges of gum have
been run by the station.
It was found that while many
things may affect yields, grades, or
both, the chief among them are:
(1) Condition of cups and tins; (2) I
Dirt; (3) Small pieces of chips and
bark; (4) Frequency of dipping; (5)
Age of face; (6) Distance gum flows
over face; (7) Amount of scrape.
Os these, the condition of cups is
the greatest single factor affecting
rosin grades, rusty cups causing a
lowering of grades. Rustless cups
are the only cups that will give a good
grade bf rosin over a period of years.
Many operators have secured good re-
has a precision shutter with high
speeds. A shutter speed of 1/400 or
1/500 second is needed for sports
and fast action shots; 1/200 for mod
erate action; and 1/100 for snaps of
slow action or subjects such as
babies or pets which may move sud
denly and unexpectedly.
Some camera shutters now have
built-in self-timer devices, which en
able you to appear in pictures taken
by yourself. Naturally, the self-timer
is an advantage in a vacation or fam
ily camera.
Now for picture size. If you ex
pect to have your pictures finished
as contact prints for album use,
don’t choose a camera that takes too
small a picture. If, however, you
plan to make enlargements, it’s safe
to pick a camera in the “miniature”
group. And, it you want to take full
color transparency pictures, for
large-size projection on a home
screen, a miniature camera is just
what you need.
It’s wise to obtain your finer cam
era well in advance of your vacation,
and practice using It. Since these
fine cameras are precision InatfUr
meats, see that yours receive* prop
er care. If treated well, such a Mm
era will give long and meritorious
service—service that far outweighs
its cost. Just ask the camera hob
byist who owns one!
Join tm GuiMsv
j suits by cleaning and painting their
cups when rut begins to appear.
Sand may cause scorching in the
still, lowering the grade of rosin to
be made although the gum may con
tain little or no other trash. Virgin
cups, because of nearness to the
ground, catch more dirt than higher
faces. Cups should, if possible, be
raised from the ground for the year
ling year.
Chips, bark and straw affect the
yields in turpentine and rosin more
than the grades. Unless the chips
are scorched in the still during dis
tillation, they should not affect the
grade materially. Chips, however,
carry away their catcher. The longer
gum remains in rusty cups the lower i
the grade of rosin that will be made
and the less turpentine. This is due
to the action of the cups on the gum
and of the air and temperature.
Cups should be dipped every three i
weeks at the most during the regular |
dip season. The year of working and ;
the distance of the cup . from the i
streak both have the same relation
ship to the grade and yield. Air and
temperature cause this to a great de
gree. Raised cups and new tins are
the essentials for keeping the grades
up if good cups are being used.
Scrape makes a lower grade of rosin
as to color than does pure dip, due, it
is believed, to oxidation of the gum
and loss of turpentine. The yield in
turpentine from scrape is much lower
than dip. One of the big factors af
fecting the yield and grade of rosin
in scrape is the large amount of chips
and the scorching of the chips in the
still.
Water is a big factor in yields from
crude gum. All dip and scrape where
no visible water is present contains
approximately seven percent of water.
During rainy seasons when water is
visible, the percentage of water runs
from ten to fifteen percent.
Operators and gum farmers not
using paddles on their cups during
chipping, and dipping less frequently
than on every third streak, could
greatly increase their yields and
grades by adopting these practices.
Yields in turpentine and rosin and
the grade of rosin that can be made
from crude gum can be estimated to
a comparatively accurate degree if
the gum is free of dirt and only a
small amount of chips present. Ex
perience in handling gum is needed
before the yields and grades can be es
timated properly. Test charges are
the best check for determining the
yields of turpentine and rosin.
Yields in turpentine and rosin from
crude gum for varying amounts of
chips and scrape may be had upon
request from the United States Naval
Stores Station at Olustee, Florida.

FARM BRIEFS
By WHITNEY THARIN,
Extension Editor
Georgia farm families are busily
preparing to attend the annual Farm
and Home Week in Athens, August
7 to 12. Many are planning their
farm work so as to have a free week
in which to attend the meetings at
Athens. Farm families from all over
the state gather on the College of
Agriculture campus at the University
of Georgia to take part in farm and
home programs, inspect the college
farm, and hear outstanding farm
leaders from various sections of the
country. And while the farmers and
their wives are engaged in attend
ing meetings, their boys and girls
will be taking part in the annual con
ference of the state 4-H club council,
which meets in conjunction with Farm
and Home Week.
Agricultural News Letter, a publi
cation devoted to new * developments
in agriculture, devotes three pages of
its current issue to “Cotton Culture
in Georgia,” a recent bulletin of the
Georgia Agricultural Extension Ser
vice. The review declares that
the bulletin, prepared by E. C. West
brook, Extension cotton specialist,
“should be an invaluable aid to plant
ers and others concerned with the
growing of this crop.” Copies of
“Cotton Culture in Georgia” may be
obtained free by interested farmers
from county agents.
Many Georgia ginners are install
ing cotton! driers in their gins, J. C.
Oglesbee, Jr., of Tifton, agricultural
engineer for the Georgia Extension
Service, reports. As part of a drier
survey, Oglesbee recently inspected
cotton gins at Irwinville, Baxley, Sur
rency, Jesup, Screven, Americus, La-
Grange, Carrollton and Columbus.
