As the chipped surface is gradually extended up the tree a point is reached, usually at the beginning or middle of the third year of operation, where the use of the hack is no longer practicable. From this point on, the puller is substituted. This serves the same pur pose as the hack, but its long handle enables the workman to reach higher.

The advance of the-naval-stores industry into this region has been due to the depletion of the forest under its attack. More than one-half of the original forest has been exhausted, with no renewal.

Charles Holmes Herty was an American chemist, scientist, and businessman. He was an assistant to the state chemist of North Carolina, and served in the same capacity at the Georgia Agricultural Experiment Station in Athens. He taught at the University of Georgia and at The University of North Carolina, where he was Smith Professor of General and Industrial Chemistry, dean of the School of Applied Science, and a member of the athletics committee.
Background
Charles Holmes Herty was born on December 4, 1867 in Milledgeville, Georgia, United States. He was the older of two children of Bernard Ritchie and Louisa Turno (Holmes) Herty. His father, a druggist, had been a captain in the Confederate Army.
Charles and his younger sister were orphaned at an early age and were reared by an aunt, Miss Florence I. Holmes of Athens, Georgia. The boy spent a happy childhood despite the straitened circumstances of his community and his family during these post-Civil War years, though the experience seems to have fostered his ambitions for himself and for the S.
Education
After four years at the Middle Georgia Military and Agricultural College (later the Georgia Military Academy) at Milledgeville, Herty went to the University of Georgia (Bachelor of Philosophy, 1886) and then to the Johns Hopkins University (Ph. D. , 1890).
Later, while teaching at the University of Georgia, he spent a year in Europe (1899-1900) studying under several leading chemists, among them Otto N. Witt at the University of Berlin and Alfred Werner at the University of Zurich.
Herty received honorary degrees from the following universities: Pittsburgh, Colgate, Georgia, North Carolina, Oglethorpe, and Florida.
Career
Herty's career in chemistry falls into three phases: as teacher, researcher, and publicist. As a teacher, at the University of Georgia (1891-1902) and at the University of North Carolina (1905-1916), he emphasized chemistry as the means of solving the economic problems of the South by converting its natural resources into useful commodities that would create new wealth and raise the living standard of the people. This point of view he impressed upon generations of students who later carried forward the development of industry as a supplement to agriculture in the South.
Herty's researches in chemistry, the second phase of his career, fall into two principal categories. His earlier work dealt with the double halides of lead, antimony, platinum, and mercury with the alkali metals. Here he is revealed as a "chemists' chemist, " contributing principally to the theory of chemical compounds. His later researches dealt with products grown in the South, particularly the several varieties of native pines. Papers in this field appeared principally in the Journal of the American Chemical Society (1908), the Journal of the Elisha Mitchell Scientific Society (1905-1914), and the Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry (1909-1914). This later work grew out of Herty's year of study in Europe.
Stirred by a remark of Professor Witt at Berlin criticizing American methods of gathering turpentine as wasteful, he resigned from the University of Georgia faculty to accept a position with the United States Bureau of Forestry, and while there (1902-1904) developed the cup-and-gutter method that came to supplant, at a saving of millions of dollars, the older method of cutting a box deep into the roots of the tree. The new method utilized a pottery cup made on automatic machines by a method devised and patented by Herty. The income from this invention made Herty financially independent for the first time in his life and enabled him to return to teaching and research.
With this background, and with his deep enthusiasm for his native section, Herty devoted his researches from this time forward principally to pine products. During the last decade of his life he emphasized the development of fast-growing pines as sources of cellulose for rayon and pulp for paper manufacture. In a laboratory in Savannah, Georgia, backed by the Chemical Foundation, the State of Georgia, and the City of Savannah, he demonstrated that sulfite pulp suitable for the manufacture of newsprint paper could be economically made from young southern pines. This was contrary to the belief strongly held in the industry that the wood was too resinous, and it greatly stimulated the development of paper manufacture in the southern coastal region.
The third and most significant phase of Herty's career was as publicist for chemistry and the chemical industry in the United States. As president of the American Chemical Society in 1915 and 1916, after the outbreak of war in Europe, he sought to arouse his fellow chemists and the general public to the extraordinary danger faced by this country for want of organic chemicals (particularly dyes and medicinals) previously imported from Germany. In January 1917 he became the first full-time editor of the American Chemical Society's Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry, a post he held for five years. His forceful editorials played a significant role in shaping national policy on such matters as the establishment of the army's Chemical Warfare Service and the development of an American dye industry; the "Symposium on the Chemistry of Dyestuffs" which he published in the October 1918 issue was especially influential.
He was largely instrumental in having the Chemical Foundation, which had been organized to take over chemical patents seized from enemy owners, administer them in such a way as to encourage the development of an American organic chemical industry. Subsequent to his tenure as editor, Herty was elected president of the Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturers Association, formed to unify and develop this phase of chemical industry in the United States. When this objective seemed well assured, he returned to his previous interest in the industrial development of the South.
He died in the Savannah Hospital, following a heart attack, and was buried in Savannah.
Herty was an ardent Episcopalian and devised, while at the University of North Carolina, a pension plan for the local Episcopal parish there that later served as a model for the whole denomination.
Membership
While a student, Herty was a member of the Phi Kappa Literary Society, as well as a member of the Gamma chapter of the Kappa Alpha Order. He was an active member of the American Chemical Society (ACS) and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). He was a president of the American Chemical Society in 1915 and 1916. He was also a president of the Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturers Association.
Interests
While an instructor at the University of Georgia Herty was said to have organized the first football team in the South; the university subsequently named an athletic field after him.
Connections
On December 23, 1895, Herty married Sophie Schaller of Athens, Georgia, by whom he had three children: Charles Holmes, a steel metallurgist; Frank Bernard, a business executive; and Sophie Dorothea, a plant physiologist.
