turpentine season and such faces are under the producers control for turpen tine purposes throughout this program.
m Chemical application to faces on experimental tracts. Additional benefit payments, intended to partly compensate for extra supervision and records and to induce cooperation, will be made to a few participating producers selected in ad vance by the Forest Service from volun teer applicants in areas where frequent observation is economical for the ex perimental application of chemical stim ulants to a portion not in excess of approximately one crop of the faces worked by the producer if the experiment is carried out in accordance with condi tions prescribedby the Forest Service.
n Bark-bar requirement. No tree shall have any new first-year back face unless a bark-bar on each side of the back face is provided and m a i n t a i n e d throughout the 1944 turpentine season, the total of the two being not less than 7 inches in width, measured horizontally along the bark surface: Provided, how ever, That the restriction with respect to the width of the bark-bar shall not apply to any tree which has on it two or more old faces.
