1: The rate of gum yield from a fresh streak. The yield of gum for the first 24
hours following chipping is much greater than for any other 24-hour period after
chipping. The rate declines rapidly with each succeeding day until the yield during
the seventh day is but a small percentage of the total yield for the streak.
The Station has found that weather, especially air temperature, is one of the
most important factors affecting the rate of yield and amount of gum produced
by a streak.
Caption 2: Forestry fair exhibit [Waycross, Georgia], Southern Forest Experiment
Station. Yield of gum from 1 streak of slash pine.
