TUNG-OIL—A Wartime Necessity 
ALEURITES FORDI 
The Chinese Tung-Oil Tree was intro- 
duced into this country from China by the 
U. S. Department of Agriculture about 
30 years ago. It is valuable for its oil, 
which is used in paints, varnishes, and 
lacquers, and in a rapidly increasing 
number of commercial products. 
Tung-Oil is the only horticultural prod- 
uct on the Government list of “critical 
material,”’ and is vitally important mm the 
war effort. American Tung growers are 
being urged to take the best possible care 
of their orchards, so that a maximum of oil 
will be available to the U. S. Government. 
Prices of whole dry fruit at the thirteen 
U. S. Tung mills ranged last season 
from $85 to $100 per ton. This gave a 
handsome return to the growers who are 
taking good care of their orchards. Con- 
sidering the ease and economy with which 
this crop can be produced, there Is not a 
more promising tree crop for the South. 
Beginning at the Atlantic seaboard in 
Georgia, the principal Tung-Oil territory 
extends west through north and middle 
Florida, the southern third of the states of 
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, 
into Gulf coastal Texas. All lands in this 
WIGHT NURSERIES - CAIRO, GEORGIA 
area are not adapted to Tung production, 
so sites for Tung culture should be se- 
lected with the greatest care. 

AT-year-old Fairchild Tung-Oil Tree grow- 
ing at Wight Nurseries, Cairo, Georgia 
Fairchild. This vigorous, highly pro- 
ductive variety of Tung, originating here 
in Cairo, and named for the father of the 
RINTE 
e IN ° 
us.A 

American Tung industry, Dr. David 
Fairchild, has been tested at Cairo in a 
budded orchard for eight years with ex- 
cellent results. 
The tree Is a vigorous, symmetrical, 
and regular bearer. Outstanding in its 
ability to bear a heavy crop of fruit and 
at the same time produce a large number 
of terminals for the following year’s crop. 
Fruit is small, borne in clusters, with 
very thin husk, giving high proportion of 
meats to whole fruit. Oil content of whole 
dry fruit more than 25 per cent, from which 
commerctal mills should recover 21 per 
cent. Our experimental orchard, at six 
years old, produced 2260 pounds of whole 
dry fruit per acre. 
After thoroughly testing the Fairchild 
variety, we can recommend it without 
reservation for planting throughout the 
Tung-Oil territory. Offered only as one- 
year budded tops on two-year-old roots. 
All Fairchild trees will be cut back to 
30 inches before shipment. 
Prices: l-yr. buds, 3 to 5 ft., $1 each; 
$7.50 for 10; $60 per 100. 2-yr. buds,
