Fig. 1. — Well-placed faces. This insures the fullest return from the tree for the lahor of operation. 



Fig. 2. — Bad placing of faces at the beginning of the operation. This means waste and loss at every stage. 



Fig. 3. — The effects at a later stage of placing faces too close together. Note dead and dry face. 



Fig. 4. — The beginning of the third year of turpentining, May, 1917, in a conservatively chipped tree. 



About 16 inches height of chipping surface was cut annually. Standard Practice Florida National 



Forest. 

 Fig. 5. — The beginning of the sixth year of turpentining, June 6, 1917, on a well managed commercial 



operation. In its fifth year about 45 barrels of turpentine were said to have been made from this crop. 

 Fig. 6. — One tree from the area shown in figure 8. This was the beginning (June 6, 1917) of the second 



year of this operation. Note chipping f-inch to 1 inch deep. The sapwood in this case was about 3 



inches wide. Thirty-three streaks were cut each year. 

 Fig. 7. — Excellent opportunities for future turpentining are offered by the good reproduction and rapid 



growth of slash pine. This tree, 4 feet above the ground, was 5J inches in diameter and 9 annual rings 



were present at that height. 

 Fig. 8. — Stand of old timber, such as is rapidly disappearing. This is characterized by having wide sap- 

 wood and by producing very high yields under efficient management. Deep chipping (see figure 6) 



succeeded in this operation.
