TUNG-OIL—A Vital 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 has been so vital to the war 
effort that since 1941 it has been under 
strict control by the government. When 
controls are removed we will again have 
annual consumption in the United States 
up to 150 million pounds of Tung-Oil. 
This is more than fifteen times our greatest 
domestic production. America has a ready 
market for its entire production of Tung- 
Oil for many years to come. 
Prices of whole dry fruit at the thirteen 
U. S. Tung mills ranged Iast season up to 
$100 per ton. Considering 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

nw? 
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 
commercial 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. 
All Fairchild trees will be cut back to 
30 inches before shipment.
