Large turpentine still and processing plant near Valdosta, Georgia. This represents industrialization of the turpentine process and forecasts the decline of small processors with their stills in the woods. Farmers will do their own chipping and dipping in the future and deliver the raw gum to the plants of this type. Now they lease their trees to the small processor.
