Operators who are cutting poplar
in Northern Maine for the paper mills
are experiencing some difficulty in
securing experienced men to do the
peeling. The season for getting the
bark off is at its height, as it is only
for a few weeks in June that it can
be separated from the trunk. Not
withstanding the scarcity of skilled
w,orkmen, it is believed that the pop
lar cut in Maine this season will be
fully as large as last year. After the
bark is once off there is but little
rush and the logs may be left lying
for weeks without injury.
