Turpentining Pines
Does Not Depreciate
Trees Lumber Value

The operation of turpentining pine
trees does not lower the strength of
the wood, according to information
obtained by the forest products lab
oratory of the forest service, United
States department of agriculture,
The crude turpentine, or oleores1n,
is not drained from a reservoir
in the tree, but is produced by the
living cells in the sap wood at or
near the spot where the cut is made
on the trunk. No turpentine is pro-
duced by the heartwood because all
of it's cells are dead. The heartwood
may be saturated in places with
pitch, but this does not readily flow
out as does the resin freshly formed
in the sapwood. The major part of
the tree is not affected in any way.
and the loss due to death of trees
or to reduction or degrading of
lumber is very small when the proper
method of turpentining is followed;
this loss is more than offset by the
additional revenue obtained through
turpentining. The greater part of the
wood that is Clipped away would not
have become finished lumber, but
would have gone into slabs and edg-
ings at the sawmill. With proper
treatment the turpentined faces re-
main healthy. and the wood under
meath does not become saturated
with resin to any great extent.

New Field Stations
Fight Boil Weevil;
Two Are in Georgia

WASHINGTON, July 21.-The rap.
id expansion of weevil throughout
the southern states has made neces-
sary the establishment of number
of new field stations by the depart
ment of agriculture throughout the
weevil-infested territory, it was an
nounced today. The stations located
so far are as follows: Fairfax, S..
G.; Waynesboro, Ga; Americus, Ga;
Demopolis, Ala; Tuscaloosa, Ala. !;
Brookhaven, Miss; Victoria, Texas ;
Denton, Texas; Taylor. Texas, and
San Benito, Texas.
Two or more men are located at
each station, the announcement said,
one engaged in research work and
the other surveying Weevil and cot
ton conditions throughout the sur
rounding district. Every assistance
is given farmers who are poisoning
weevils and the department intends
to try to reach every farmer engag-
ed in the work. A number of men
are assigned to districts not acces-
sible to the established stations; the
Delta laboratory of the department OF
agriculture at Tallulah, La, is direct
ing the work of assisting cotton
farmers in the work of weevil ex-
termination.

over to the repair department after
being marked to take their regular
turn. They had not yet been reached
when Mrs. Cohen called and asked
their return. When, she felt inside
the shoes and declared she had been
robbed of her jewels, Colandro said,
was the first he knew of the alleged
loss. The manager said that ordi-
narily no examination was made of
the insides Of the shoes on their be-
ing taken in. They were to have
been soled and heeled. Anyhow, Co
landro said, he was not running a
safe deposit vault. He ventured the
opinion that Mrs. Cohen would find
her diamonds hidden somewhere else.
Detectives from the Fifteenth Pre-
cinct station aided Mrs. Cohen in
searching her home. All the former
hiding places of the pewelry were
investigated but without result. Mrs.
Cohen admitted having lately sold
two pairs of old shoes to an itinerant
purchaser. but denied the possibility
that her diamonds were in either of
the pairs. She remembered the pair
with the diamonds in them, because
they had patent leather tips and rub
Der heels, and always hurt her across
the instep.

NEW YORK-Mrs. Fannie Cohen,
of Brooklyn, sought aid of the 18TH
Precinct police in recovering dla-
mond rings and other jewelry valued
at $4,000 which she had hidden In
the toes of an old pair of shoes She
forgot that she had put the jeWelry
in them and sent the shoes to be re
paired by the Franklinc ompany, 165
Hooper street, Brooklyn.
Then she suddenly recalled where
she had hidden the diamonds and
sat up from that time until the
store opened. When the shoes were
returned to her, she told the police,
the diamonds were missing.
Mrs. Cohen explained that she had
been in the habit of hiding her
Jewels in odd corners, such as she
believed burglars would not search.
She had kept them for some time in
the stuffing of an armchair, later
in the lining of an old suitcase, again
in the interior of a stuffed jackdaw,
and lastly in her old shoes. She be-
lieved the shoes were too old to be
worth stealing and poled the dia-

CLEVELAND-Thr women have

The three women who have &C

Miss Florence Allen, common
Mrs. W. c. Sly, widow of the
president of a manufacturing con-
Germ, killed by highwaymen.
Mrs. G. K. Fannen, widow of
the superintendent of the same
plant, murdered at the same time.
The widows inspired the relentless
hunt; the judge melted out the first
death sentence.
On December 81. 1920, Sly and
Tanner, carrying the $4,000 payroll
of their plant, were stopped by five
auto bandits. When they resisted
robbery, both were shot, the holdup
men escaping.
Widows of the two men interested
the Cleveland Automobile club, and
officials took an active part with
police, financing the hunt.

Dairying Will Be
Boosted at Ashburn

ASHBURN, Ga, July 21.-The
Dairy association meeting to be held
here Friday, is arousing much inter-
est and bids fair to be well attend
ed by parties interested in seeing this
section of Georgia go forward in
this constructive enterprise.
Experts from dairying sections
have visited and studied conditions
in Turner county and counties ad-
joining, and citizens from turner
and Crisp counties have visited and
studied dairying conditions in Sec
tions where dairying is being con-
Quoted so successfully. The consen-
sus of opinion is that Turner coun-
ty and the surrounding section is
splendidly adapted to dairying and
diversified farming which it insures.
The business men of Ashburn, in
order to encourage and make this in
dustry possible in this section. will
establish creamery at Ashburn TO
afford a market for cream. This
creamery will be in operation this
fall and it is expected that farmers
throughout the territory contiguous
to the Georgia Southern and Flori-
da, Southern and Hawkinsville and
Florida Southern railways will avail
themselves of this market. At the
meeting to be held Friday, there
will be demonstrations of all phases
of dairying, including judging of
COWS, cream separators, milk tests,
models of suitable barns and fix

still occupying German cities beyond
