such as creeks, swamps, roads, etc., may be utilized with the consent of the Forest officer in charge. These, 
fire lines must be made and receive the approval of the Forest officer in charge before any cups are placed 
the first year or new streaks made at the beginning of each subsequent year. 
13. Cabins, shelter camps, telephone lines, and other improvements necessary in working the timber 
covered by this agreement will be constructed on National Forest land only under special-use permit. 
14. If requested by the Forest Supervisor, we also agree to keep an accurate count and record of the 
number of barrels of gum and pounds of scrape obtained from the area covered by this agreement and to 
report the same upon request. 
15. The United States reserves the right to sell or otherwise dispose of and remove or have removed 
all dead timber and uncupped living timber from the area covered by, and during the life of, this agreement: 
Provided, That the removal of such material will not, in the judgment of the Forest officer, interfere with 
the operations of the purchaser. 
16. If during the life of this agreement cups are raised, the nails which had supported them and the gutters 
shall be removed within thirty days after the raising of the cups. 
17. If during the life of this agreement cups and tins are placed on trees at any point other than at the base 
where they are first placed, a two-piece saw-tooth apron shall be used. In placing these aprons a straight 
edged driving blade shall be used and an incision made on each side of the face, which incision shall not 
exceed one-quarter (i) of an inch in depth. 
If desirable in order to allow cups to fit better, narrow chips, not more than one-half inch thick may be 
removed from the ridge in the center of the faces. 
18. Complaints by the purchaser, arising from any action taken by a Forest officer under the terms of 
this agreement, will not be considered unless made in writing to the Forest Supervisor having jurisdiction, 
within thirty (30) days of the alleged unsatisfactory action. 
The decision of the Secretary of Agriculture will be final in the interpretation of the regulations and 
provisions governing the sale, cupping, and removal of the product covered by this agreement. 
19. All operations on the area may be suspended by the Forest officer in charge if the conditions and 
requirements contained in this agreement are disregarded, and failure to comply with any one of said 
conditions and requirements, if persisted in, will be sufficient cause for the termination of this agreement 
and the cancellation of all permits for other uses of the National Forest incident thereto: Provided, That 
the Forester may, upon reconsideration of the conditions existing at the date of sale and in accordance 
with which the terms of this agreement were fixed, and with the consent of the purchaser, terminate this 
agreement, but in the event of such termination the purchaser shall be liable for any damages sustained 
by the United States arising from the purchaser's operations hereunder. 
20. No Member of, or Delegate to Congress, or Resident Commissioner, after his election or appointment, 
and either before or after he has qualified, and during his continuance of office, will be admitted to any share 
or part of this contract or agreement, or to any benefit to arise thereupon. Nothing, however, herein 
contained will be construed to extend to any incorporated company, where such contract or agreement 
is made for the general benefit of such incorporation or company. (Section 3711, Revised Statutes, and 
sections 114-116, act of March 4, 1909.) 
21. The term "officer in charge, " wherever used in this agreement, signifies the officer of the Forest Serv- 
ice who shall be designated by the proper Supervisor or by the District Forester to supervise the timber 
operations in this sale. 
22. This agreement will not be assigned in whole or in part. 
23. The conditions of the sale are completely set forth in this agreement, and none of its terms can be 
varied or modified except in writing by the Forest officer approving the agreement or his successor or 
superior officer, and in accordance with the regulations of the Secretary of Agriculture. No other Forest 
officer has been or will be given authority for this purpose. 
24. And as a further guarantee of a faithful performance of the conditions of this agreement, we deliver 
herewith a bond in the sum of $1,000, and do further agree that all moneys paid under this agreement

or made a part hereof, be retained by the United States to be applied as far as may be to the satisfaction 
of our obligations assumed hereunder.

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 following 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 on second growth will generally yield 
from 20 to 45 barrels of turpentine and from 56 to 126 barrels of
