Farmers To

USDA Research

A new method of turpentining-
known as chemicalu stimulation

partment of Agriculture research
which enables white and colored

earnings, say USDA Forest Ser.
vice officials.
Employment of the new turpen-
timing technique was began during
the war to help increase product
ion and offset the growing man
power shortage. Prior to that time
chemical stimulation had been car
ried out only on an experimental
basis. Department officials point
out that since the war, the new
method which is coming into wide
use has been an important factor
in the upping of wages and in
general improvement of housing
and working conditins in the nav
al stres industry.
Since 1943, wages have increas-
ed from SIP per week to from
SIS to So per day. And Forest Ser
vice officials report that in many
turpintine areas the growers have
replaced the traditional lakewood
labor shacks with modern cott-
ages. 1t is also said that many
of the workers now have gardens,
chickens, pigs, and milk which en-
ables them to eat better and save
more of their earnings.
BY the new method of turpen-
timing which is described in re-
cent publication, Farmers Bullen-
tin No. 1884, the worker sprays

Both of those techniques save

duction in labor costs, and they
