Tung oil is'one of the world’s
greatest industrial necessities, al
most every country has develop
ed a need for the oil, and all are
constantly suffering from a short
age. Central China, growing Tung
trees for centuries, is the largest
source of supply, with the South
ern section of the United States
rapidly increasing planting areas,
to supply the American demands.
New, Old Pressing Methods
In the Tung tree areas of China
there are about 25,000,000 farm
ers, Os which about 6,000,000 grow
Tung trees, almost as their only
source of income, aside from rice
and a few vegetables. Each Tung
grove averages from 15 to 25
trees, and in river regions, each
farmer sells his crop to a local
contractor who buys the dried
fruit, then transports it to a semi
modern pressing mill, where the
fruit is pressed. These mills of
which there are about 25 scat
tered in various river sections of
the growing areas, are supple
mented with eight modern press
ing mills located near main wa
terways, that press the fruit in
the same manner as is done in
our Southern states. There are
also about 1,000 small regional
mills far in the interior, using
human or animal power.
These primitive mills are made
from large trees, down the center
of which is carved a long hori
zontal trough almost the length
of the tree, with holes pierced
through the bottom of the primi
tive channel. The nuts from the
Tung tree fruit, which had previ
ously been heated into a circular
cake and pressed the same gen
eral size as the trough are placed
in tne “tree mill” with two circu
lar stones inserted after every
three or four cakes. Then a heavy
wedge is inserted between the set
of stones nearest one end of the
tree, forcing the stones apart. The
oil cakes are pressed tight against
the next set of stones forcing out
the oil, which escapes into pans
through the little holes in the
bottom of L 'rough. The opera
tion is repeated along ie length
of the tree until all the oil has
; been extracted.

oil is used as an ointment. If
the home is overrun with insects,
heavy sheets of paper are soaked
with Tung oil and burned, a po
tent form of fumigation. The oil
is used as a rat-killer and also a
body plaster, in fact, when the
Chinese suffer from cold, the oil is
applied to stimulate and warm
the body.
Until the few commercial
groves were developed in China,
the trees grew wild on the slopes
of mountains, bordering the Yang
tse River. They were also carried
up and down the river in sampans
and native junks or were scattered
over large areas by strong winds.
The growth of the tree areas
spread until over the centuries
Central China was dotted with
wild Tung trees.
Primitive Farming Prevalent
When commercial groves were
started about 15 years ago, the
Chinese farmer thinned out heavy
wild plantings, to enable the trees
to grow larger and assure a heav
ier crop. There is very little till
ing of the land, and no fertilizer
aside from the fertilizer available
in every Chinese hamlet. Cover
crops are practically unknown
Grasses have little opportunity tc
grow, leaves and branches are
valuable for fuel, for the little
fires Chinese farmers need for
cooking.
Scientific care of Tung tree
groves in China is unknown. The
tree has never been grown out
side the places they have been
thriving for centuries. Any effort
to transplant the tree to other
native sections would be imprac
tical unless the Chinese fanner
had the same agricultural advice
available as the American farmer,
in the Southern sections of the
United States, along the lines of
the co-operative farming plan of.
the General Tung Oil Corporation
of Tallahassee and Gainesville,
Florida, now being used in Flor
ida and Southern Georgia.
One-seventh of all the exports
from China is Tung oil. The
United States imports almost 75%
of that huge amount. In 1937,
more than 157,000,000 pounds of
Chinese Tung oil was consumed
by American industrial concerns.

WHO enriched our lives by the air
plane, the modern refrigerator.
the automobile, the radio? Who
provided us with light at the flick
of a switch? Who, indeed, has
wrought more changes in our man
ner of life than the engineer?
In conquering the forces of nature
man learned engineering. The first
lever used to pry a rock, the first
wheel built to move burdens, the
first wedge shaped to split a log
were creations of prehistoric engi
neers. Over four thousand years
ago. engineers built the dams on
the Euphrates and erected the
Egyptian pyramids.
Two thousand years ago Roman
engineers tied Europe together by
highways, spurred the migration of
older civilizations into' unexplored
countries. There the conquerors
provided uncontaminated water sup
plies and shelter against the ele
ments. So down through the ages,
making life more secure and more
satisfying, the work of engineers
has gone forward.
The work of engineers, often un
sung, has provided for ever-widen
ing and continuous benefits to the
human race, through control of
nature’s forces and materials.
Today the youth of vision, inter
ested In knowing more about our
fast moving age may well consider
। engineering as one of the most
. utilitarian and fascinating proses-
I sions.
Engineering embodying a knowl
[ edge of mathematics, technological
, arts and sciences and the ability to
direct and work with men offers
worthwhile careers for youth of
ability!

Oppose Rate Change
Atlanta, Ga.—Charges made in
Eastern publications that the Inter
state Commerce Commission decision
। granting the South relief from freight
rate discriminations was “political"
are branded as calmuny and as unjust
statements in a reply made public
this week by Governor Rivers, chair
man of the Southern Governors’ Con
ference.
Governor Rivers directed to mem
bers of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission a letter defending the com
missioners against attacks. The let
ter said:
“You may be assured that the heart
of the great West and all the South
land swells with pride and gratitude
in the realization that the policy of
your great agency will in the future
rise above sectionalism, petty local
interests and political expediency.”
Letters were sent to The Railway
Age and The Traffic World, protest
ing against the charge that the de
cision “was influenced by political
considerations.”
Governor Rivers said:
“While we in the South depreciate
the short-sighted self-serving attitude
assumed by publications sympathetic
with interests in the East who would
continue to throttle our industry, we
are not surprised for they have fought
I us every step of the way.
“It is disappointing, however, that
they should resort to calumny against
those fair minded men on the Inter
state Commerce Commission who were
broad and big enough to recognize
the good of the nation as a whole
against a section.
“It is rather odd that the editors
of those publications could find no
politics or sectional interest in the
dissenting opinions of those four Com
missioners coming from Eastern or
Official Territory.
“Since when is it political for great
j sections of our country like the West
iand the South to file complaints
I against rate discriminations which so
i injuriously affect our people and not
I political for the favored Eastern rate
territory to resist our efforts to bring
about an equitable adjustment of these
rates ?
“The majority decision in the Gov
ernors’ Commodity Case recognizes
the fundamental principle of parity
which will give to this nation a na
tionalized equitable rate system re
moving all existing artificial terri
torial rate barriers and affording for
the South the relief which is long
past due.
If it had been political, the politi
cal influence would have been on the
defendant’s side. There were only
eight Southeastern states involved,
while fourteen northern states, with
all the force of their Governors and
public officials, intervened against the
contentions of the Southeast.”
Walter R. McDonald, Chairman of
the Georgia’ Public Service Commis
sion, joined Governor Rivers in de-
