1: Good practice. When two faces are chipped simultaneously on one tree, a "life-bar"
or "bark-bar" approximately 4 inches wide should be maintained between
the two faces.
Caption 2: Cook's Turpentine place, Spring Hill, Florida, near Tallahassee. "This
tree burned during the first 2 years of operation under a raking and burning system
of fire protection. There is less danger of the tree catching fire again but the
main damage has been done. Note the ground cover of wire grass that is typical
of open grown trees on cut-over areas." NS-3. Lib. Nos. 3.1, 5.21216.
