SAVING TJRPENTINE WASTE.

DR.. Charles H. Herty. a professor of
the University of Georgia made an ad-
dress a few days ago before the Turpen-
inc Operators Association of the South
on the waste in turpentine operations
in the south under the present system
and the sdVings under the new. He
has been experimenting with h new
agricultural department on a turpentine
farm near Qcilla. Ga. The doctor SEEM
ed satisfied that the new system would
be means Of adding much to the profits
of the men er ragged in t~urpentine bust
ness of the south. From The Manufac-
turers' Record we take the following
synopsis of Il. Herty's address:
He described his methods. said
that the investigation had been confined
to the injur. done by the box and the
amount of waste of timber resulting
from present methods of collecting the
gum from tie trees. He used four full
crops the first, second, third and
f~ourth-year crops, working ore-hal OF
each crop in the usual way, and the
other half with his simple system of
galvanized-iron cutters in shallow in

the trees and conducting the gum into
clay cups. He showed that the new
method produces about 20 per cent.
more gum than the old n OF a better
quality. He quoted figures showing
that the total revenue from the turpen-
tine n rosin output of the south
amounted this year to ST.. 400. 900 un-
der the present method of harding the
trees, n that under the new method
the value Of the output would have
been $780, 50. 900, making a total loss to
the operators of the south more than
SIS, zoo, 900, regardless of th> injury,
from a numbering standpoint, done to
the trees under the old method. DR..
Herty has conferred 6 distinct benefit
upon a characteristic southern industry
by his careful Investigations, and has
made a notable contribution IN support
Of the agitation which would introduce
in the south a scientific handling Of its
forest Of all kinds. 1t is tC
be hoped that the example of n lead
ing operator in determining to adopt
DR.. Herty's methods will be followed
generally, and that his investigation
may be continued to the further benefit

THE SITUATION IN THE IsTHMUs.

If there be any truth IN the report
from Central America, published a day
or so & that the war there was pro-
longed by aid from Nicaragua with the
view of delaying the building Of the
Panama canal by our government, then
1t Is time We were taking steps to put
a stop to that war in so fdr as it has or
will have any evil effect Oh the accom-
plishment of this enterprise. 1t demon
strates more fully the necessity for the
United States owning the territory
through which the canal snail run and
not simply, having control over 1t for
police regulations n protection Of the
canal property. That we viii build the
canal is a certainty. It's construction
may be delayed by the scheming Of
those opposed to il. but It is bound to
be constructed. With the rapid opening
up of the east the commercial interests
Of the world demand this new water
way, and u government cannot afford
to allow any other nation to construct
and control it. So we may take it as a
settled act a in a few years there

in the way Of hat location. If they
have undertaken this now, the Nicara-
guam authorities, going so far as to give
valuable aid to the Colombian revolu-
tionists for the purpose Of keeping up
the civil war as an obstacle to the con-
struction of the canal on the Panama
route, which is in Colombia, what may
we not expect from these Central Amer
leans. who are in an -almost continual
state OF warfare-either civil war or
the states fighting each ether. The con-
struction of the canal, 10 matter which
route is finally settled upon, will u

expect constant worry and interference
unless we make the adjacent country

else absolute control over it and the

fair sample of what we may expect.
But for h guard of United States blue

fire guns who accompany each train be-
tween Colon and Panama inter-oceanic
traffic over this railroad would be stop
ped. We are now put to this trouble
