Excerpt from A New Method of Turpentine Orcharding
Formerly an unbroken forest Of Longleaf Pine extended from south ern Virginia through the South Atlantic and the Gulf States to east ern Texas. The advance of the-naval-stores industry into this region has been due to the depletion of the forest under its attack. More than one-half of the original forest has been exhausted, with no renewal. Conservative Operators now estimate a standing supply of virgin timber sufficient only for fifteen years of box cutting.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book reveals a critical new method for collecting pine resin, the raw material used in the production of turpentine and rosin. The author, an expert in the Bureau of Forestry, led an in-depth investigation into the current destructive practices of the naval stores industry, with the goal of finding environmentally sustainable alternatives. The author's findings led to the development of a new system of cups and gutters that addressed the major inefficiencies and ecological hazards of the existing method of using boxes cut into the trunk of the pine tree. The research conducted offers a solution to the twin problems of preserving the forests and meeting the growing demand for the industry's products.
