FOR RAISING CAMPHOR TREES

Investigations made by the depart

temperature Of over n hundred ana
I'VE degrees without injury. Even
II a hedge is killed down to the
ground, camphor may be extracted
from the wood and leaves and a new
growth will spring up in a year to q
height of eight or ten feet. The trim
mings from hedges yield a large per-
centage of camphor. An acre Of cam
phor hedge will yield about eight ton
OF trimmings a year, from which about
TWO hundred pounds of marketable
campnor gum can be extracted. In
most cases the production from an
acre Of hedges exceeds this quantity.
Camphor is used In the manufacture

partment, there are thousands of
acres of light soil in the South. not

on which camphor trees could be
grown p%rofitably. The government
has over n hundred thousand young
trees In Florida. There is a constant
ly increasing demand for camphor.
and the fact that the gum and oil
can be extracted by a simple process
OF distillation makes camphor grow.
