thrives in Egypt, in the Canary islands, in
southwestern France, and in the San Joa-
ouin valley in California, where the sum-
mers are hot and dry. Large trees, at least
two hundred years old. are growing IN the
temple courts at Toxic, where they are
subject to winter of seventy TO eighty
nights of frost, with an occasional MINI

winter temperature not below 20 degrees F.,
fifty inches or more of rain during the warm
growing season. and an abundance of plant
food, rich in nitrogen. In the native forests
in Formosa, Fukien, and Japan camphor IS
distilled almost exclusively from the wood
of the trunks, roots and larger branches.
The work is performed by hand labor, and
the methods employed seem rather crude.
The camphor trees are feIied, and the trunk,
larger limbs and sometimes the roots are
cut into chips, which are placed In a wood

inches in diameter at the base, tapering

camphor and oil are allowed TO collect to-
