Image Title: "A
Pictorial Album of the Naval-Stores Industry"
Image Caption: Caption
1: Close-up of a freshly cut streak showing globules of gum forming at the ends
of resin ducts which have been cut by the streak. Gum exudes most rapidly the
first few days after chipping. After a lapse of about a week, only very small
amounts of gum exude because the ends of the resin ducts have been plugged up
with hardened gum. It is necessary then to chip a fresh streak to reopen the resin
ducts to permit the flow of additional gum.
Caption 2: Kingsley tract, Starke, Florida. Clay County. Deep chipping of about
1" causes "pitch soak". Fifth streak of season is still in resin
soaked wood. Tree No. 534, 1 stripe red. NS 5.21213, 5.21237, 5.21312, J. L. A.
