Burning in Naval Stores Forest
Proceedings: 3rd Tall Timbers Fire Ecology Conference 1964 Burning in Naval Stores Forest NORMAN R. HAWLEY Naval Stores Conservation Program U. S. Forest Service Valdosta, Georgia BEFORE discussing woods burning in naval stores, what is naval stores? First, be it understood that there are three fields within the activity, namely (1) wood distillation, or the process of obtaining the desired product from pine stumps; (2) the capture of tall oil in the sulfate pulping process, and (3) gum naval stores, or the harvesting of oleoresin or gum from standing, living pine trees, ob tained throughout a long working season of some seven months annually. Today, I shall discuss fire in its relation to the gum naval stores business. But first, how did the activity derive its odd name? There is cause for puzzlement. The story is told-with tongue in cheek-that a Secretary of the Navy, somewhat confused, but firm in his resolve to be prepared, declared: "I don't know what it is, but let's get some of it!" The term is a carry-over from the days of sail. Then the product was in prime demand. It caulked the hulls of wooden ships, and treated rigging against the erosive action of sun, rain, wind, ice, and salt water. How old is the business? We know that flammable gum featured heavily in the combustibles tossed around in ancient Mediterranean sea fights. Some writers speak with authority that it dates from the year 315 B. C. Others point to the Bible and quote from chapter and verse how Noah treated the hull of the Ark with derivatives from the 81 NORMAN R. -
Panama Hat Classic, Fedora Style, Fino Grad from Montecristi
Only 100% PAJA TOQUILLA Hand-woven from Ecuador www.thailandpanamahats.com Story of Panama hats www.thailandpanamahats.com HISTORY and where is coming a real Panama Hat “ECUADOR” Many people may not know the Panama hat actually originates in Ecuador, not Panama, as the name suggests. Authentic Panama hats have a rich history and fascinating story-- as unique as the artisans who create these hand-woven stylish hats, which combines a natural resource of Ecuador with a long tradition of this South American culture. Since the 1600s when the Spaniards came to South America, they found native people wearing head coverings made of Palmata Straw or the Carludovica Palm. Two centuries later, they improved and evolved to become the “Panama hats”, as they are known today. Around the 1800s these hand made hats started exporting making them available to travelers and merchants who purchased them at the Panamanian ports, so the name actually reflects their point of international sale not their place of domestic origin. It wasn’t until the end of the 18th Century that the Panama hat marked its place in history when it was showcased at the universal show in Paris. The Panama hat received world-wide attention soon became the defining fashion accessory for the elite. The legendary genuine Panama hat is made of Toquilla Palm and the very finest Panama hats are hand woven by artisans in the small town of Montecristi, in Ecuador. Each hat is woven by hand and much of the work must be done at night to the early morning hours in order to protect the straw from damage. -

Four hundred years later, a scant 3 percent of what was known as “the great piney woods” remains. The trees’ abundance grew the Southeast’s first major industry, one that served the world’s biggest fleet, the British Navy, with the naval stores essential to shipbuilding and maintenance. The pines yielded gum resin, rosin, pitch, tar, and turpentine.

Polynesian Canoe Plants, Including Breadfruit, Taro, and Coconut: the Ultimate in Sustainability Planning Posted on June 27, 2019 by Leslie Lang
HOME HOURS & DIRECTIONS GARDEN SLIDESHOW GARDEN NEWS & BLOG Polynesian Canoe Plants, Including Breadfruit, Taro, and Coconut: the Ultimate in Sustainability Planning Posted on June 27, 2019 by Leslie Lang Do you know about “canoe plants?” These are the plants—such as kalo (taro), ‘ulu (breadfruit), and niu (coconut), among others—that Polynesians brought in their carefully-stocked voyaging canoes perhaps 1,600 years ago when they first settled in Hawai‘i. Canoe plants are one more piece of the evidence showing us that the people who colonized Hawai‘i were intelligent voyagers who came in planned expeditions, not islanders who drifted here unintentionally. Not only did they successfully navigate the oceans like highways, but before they left home to explore and settle new lands, they prepared themselves well. After all, they had to sustain themselves both during their long journeys and also upon arrival in a new island group, where they didn’t know what resources they would find. They maximized their limited space by packing seeds, roots, shoots, and cuttings of their most critical plants, the ones they relied on the most for food, medicine, and for making containers, fabric, cordage, and more. We can identify about 24 plants that arrived in Hawai‘i as canoe plants. You can see samples of some of them at Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden. The Most Significant Polynesian Canoe Plants: ‘Ulu ‘Ulu (Artocarpus altilis, Artocarpus incisus or Artocarpus communis) belongs to the Moracceae (fig or mulberry) family. Known in English as breadfruit, the ‘ulu tree produces a “fruit” that is actually a vegetable with a high carbohydrate content. -

Effect of Wood Preservative Treatment of Beehives on Honey Bees Ad Hive Products
1176 J. Agric. Food Chem. 1984. 32, 1176-1180 Effect of Wood Preservative Treatment of Beehives on Honey Bees and Hive Products Martins A. Kalnins* and Benjamin F. Detroy Effects of wood preservatives on the microenvironment in treated beehives were assessed by measuring performance of honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) colonies and levels of preservative residues in bees, honey, and beeswax. Five hives were used for each preservative treatment: copper naphthenate, copper 8-quinolinolate, pentachlorophenol (PCP), chromated copper arsenate (CCA), acid copper chromate (ACC), tributyltin oxide (TBTO), Forest Products Laboratory water repellent, and no treatment (control). Honey, beeswax, and honey bees were sampled periodically during two successive summers. Elevated levels of PCP and tin were found in bees and beeswax from hives treated with those preservatives. A detectable rise in copper content of honey was found in samples from hives treated with copper na- phthenate. CCA treatment resulted in an increased arsenic content of bees from those hives. CCA, TBTO, and PCP treatments of beehives were associated with winter losses of colonies. Each year in the United States, about 4.1 million colo- honey.
