TO CONSERVE
 LUMBER OUTPUT
OF AGRICULTURE TO COOPERATE WITH
 LUMBER MEN
TO Find Way to Utilize Odd Lengths of Lumber and Save the Waste
 of Material
(From Department of Agricul;ure)
Office of Secretary

Washington, D. C., September 22- The investigation carried on last year by the U. S. Department of Agricul- ture, cooperating with lumber man lufacturers in the South, to determine the saving that can be effected by using odd lengths of lumber as well as even, has begun to bear fruit. That investigation showed that a material saving was practicable, and at a recent meeting of southern
 ssanDer manufacturers association
 the fact was brought out that be- ginning has been made in putting the new plan into practice. and that an increase in the sale of odd lengths is anticipated for the near future
 dt was formerly the custom, ana generally is so still to sell lumber in even lengths only. Waste re- suited from cutting off the ends of odd lengths to make them even. A considerable percentage of saw mills output is detective. That is, boards have knots, dtcayed spots, or split ends, and the defective parts are cut out. To make an even length of what remains, it is often neceshary to cut off foot of good wood with the pad, and it is wasted. The practice of marketing odd lengths as well as even is meant 10 lessen this waste. The sale of odd lengths of lumber will frequently lessen waste in the woods also; for example log may he cut fifteen feet long which, following the old custom, would be cut only fourteen, and the extra foot would be eft in the woods.
 The introduction of odd lengths meets with opposition from many builders who are prejudiced in favor of even lengths simply because they have never used any other kind Nevertheless, there are many places in which odd lengths are moro eeo- nomical than even ones-for instance where nine-foot studding is used Following former custom, the ends must be cut from even lengths to make the timbers fit. Some man lufactures of flooring successfully sell odd lengths. thus lessening waste in the woods, at the mill. and ill the leonstruction of buildings.
