USEFUL EQUIVALENTS IN TURPENTINING. 



A few equivalents and values in turpentining operations may be 

 useful. They should be regarded only as approximate because of 

 the variable nature of practically every stage of the industry. 

 Although some of the factors refer only to mature timber, others 

 seem to be equally applicable to second-growth trees, and all pertain 

 to the industry as it is being carried on commercially. 



1. The yield per tree of crude gum for one season averages from 

 about 8 to 12 pounds per working cup or face on old-growth trees of 

 average size. Based upon the figures in a folloAving paragraph (4) , 

 the average yield per cup for a season is from 1 pint to 1 quart of 

 turpentine and from 4 to 5 pounds of rosin. 



2. A crop of 10,000 cups under common practice will generally 

 yield from 30 to 45 barrels of turpentine and from 92 to 130 barrels 

 of rosin (500 pounds each), depending upon the favorableness of the 

 season, the size and vigor of the trees, and the method of working. 



3. A gallon of spirits of turpentine weighs about 7| pounds, and 

 a barrel of turpentine contains about 50 gallons. 



4. Crude gum or " dip " may be assumed to contain, in round figures, 

 an average by weight of 20 per cent of turpentine, 15 per cent of 

 Avater and trash, and 65 per cent of rosin. One barrel of average 

 crude turpentine will yield about 10 to 12 gallons of spirits of tur- 

 pentine. One hundred pounds of clean gum will yield about 2| 

 gallons of turpentine and 83 pounds of rosin. 



5. The yield of both turpentine and rosin is notably increased by 

 the use of the cup system as compared with the boxing method. The 

 yield of turpentine for two similar crops under investigation for 

 three years was 151 barrels by cupping, and by boxing 118 barrels
