Recovering Naval Stores Extracts From Ponderosa Pine Stumps

Washington, D. C.,-Ponderosa pine stumps, previotrsly useless by-products of logging, soon may become raw material for a naval stores industry nerv to the \\rest.

This is another case of industry-sponsored research paying off in increased lvood utilization. The Western Pine Association, representing forest industries in l2 far u'estem states, reports its research laboratory in Portland, Ore., has developed a commercially practical process for recovering nal'al stores extracts from ponderosa pine stumps.

The process, announced recentll' to industry members, n'as developed after several years of study by Carl A. Rasmussen and Albert Hermann. scientists at the Portland laboratory. The process has been thoroughly tested at the association's pilot plant in Bend, Ore.

Pitch yields are higher from old stumps, the scientists report. Stumps from trees cut less than four years ago have averaged 17 per cent extract on a rveight basis while older stnrnps shou'ed a naval stores yield of about 500 pounds per ton. One stump from a wind-tl.rrown tree in Eastern Oregon yielded 50 per cent extracts by rveight. Another stump shipped from Window Rock, Ariz., cut 56 years ago, yielded 22 per cent by weight.

Pine stumps have long been a source of naval stores in the South but this is the first time ponderosa pine stumps have been utilized commercially in the \\rest. In the process stumps are either pulled or trvisted out by means o{ a splitting tooth attachment on a bulldozer.

Victor Olson Elected President Of \(/ashington Yeneer Co.

The election of Victor Olson as president of \\/ashingtorr Veneer Company has been announced by Ou'en ll. Cheatham, president of Georgia-Pacific Plywood & Lumber Co.

Mr. Olson has been a leading figure in the plyr,vood industry for the past 25 years. He previously served as production manager of the U. S. Plywood plant at Seattle, then organized and was president of the l3ellingham Plyrvood Corporation, which recently rvas merged into Washington Veneer Company.

H. W. McClary remains as general manager of the tr,vo Olympic plants; Arthur Olson. former assistant manager, succeeds Victor Olson at the Bellingham plant; and Gus N. Arneson rvill continue to manage the Springfield operation.

At the plant stumps are ground up and treated 'ivith a solvent that absorbs pitch from wood. Later the solvent is readily separated from the pitch leaving the extract for processing into rosin, turpentine and pine oil-all valuable products in a hundred different industrial processes.

llomer B. Jamison, Fresno, Calif., lumberman and president of Western Pine Assn., predicts that sale of stur-nps for naval stores extracts may become a source of income to Western tree farmers engaged in sustained yield production of pine timber on scientifically managed and protected forest land.
