New Woods Coming Into Use.

s9e -ssSN 00Ns
washington, Feb, 19.-The
scientific study of the merits 81
many species Of trees against the
use OF which there has been !
prejudice for one reason or the
other is one of the most import-
ant phases of the forest work of
the government, from an eco
nomlc standpoint, and the inyes-
legations which have already
been made have provided the
lumber industry with much more
valuable information.
!, The latest discoveries of valua-
BILE qualities in a former nepa
lected species resulted after an
investigation of the tupelo gum
which finds it's home in the
Southern swamps. Experts say
that the study has brought out
as important data as the studies
made on the loblolly pin e..
another species which was neg
iected for many years, but which
is now put to valuable use for
many purposes.
Iupelo, two years ago, at the
time the study was begun. was
little known, and seldom used.
even in the sections of the coun-
try where it is most plentiful.
In L the logging off of cypress in
the Gulf States, where tupelo is
found in large quantities, the
trees were entirely disregarded.
1t was found that the prejudice
then existing against the wood
was caused by a lack of knowl-
edge of it's properties and lack of
care in handling the material.
The Investigations have been
carried on by the United States
Forest Service, and have proved
the value Of the wood for a num-
Der OF uses. The result of these
studies removed very largely the
existing prejudices against this
gum, and in a short time the
demand for tupelo rapidly in
creased.
+ This wood is now, widely used.
not only in the, state where it
grows, but also in different sec
tons Of the country, in the manu-
facture of wooden pumps, sound
ing boards for violins and organs.
mantles and interior finishing,
such as moulding, door and win
dow frames and door jams. It
is manufactured also into all
kinds of lumber, including, a
good grade of edge grain floor
ing. Tupelo gum, in the form of
flooring, was recently. found COM
peting successfully with Douglas
fir in the Los Angeles market,
even though bearing a freight
rate of IS cents per hundred
weight from it's source of produc-
ton in Louisiana.
This is only one example of the
studies carried on by the govern
ment for the purpose of creating
markets and establishing uses
for the kinds of wood whose
properties are not understood.
The reason for making these
studies is that by finding substi-
tutes for woods now in use which
have grown scarce in conse-
quence Of an excessive demand,
the timber supply of the country
is in effect increased, the most
economical use of wood is pro-
noted, and the evils of general
shortage in wood supply are te
that degree lessened.
