USE OF ODD LENGTHS
IN SAVING LUMBER


Washington Sept 1S.-The in
vestigation carried on last year by
the T. S Department of Agriculture.
co-opera ting with the lumber manu-
| features 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
lumber 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 sales of odd lengths
is anticipated for the near future.
1t was formerly the custom, and
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 defective. That is,
boards have knots, decayed spots,
or split ends, and the defective parts
d
length of what remains, it is often
necessary to cut off a foot OF good
wood with the bad, and 1t is wasted.
| The practice of marketing odd len
! gths as well as even is meant to
llessen this waste The sale of odd
| lengths of lumber will frequent
/ ly lessen waste in the woods also;
| for example, a log may be cut fiji
teen feet long which. following the
old custom, would not cut only four
teen, and the extra foot would be
left in the woods,
The introduction of odd lengths
meets with opposition from many
builders who are jrejudiced in favor
of even lengths simply because they
have never used any other kind.
Nevertheless, there are many places
in which odd lengths are more
economical than even ones-for in
stance, where nine-foot studding is
uesd. Following former custom,
the end must be cut from even
lengths to make the timbers fit.
Some manufacturers of flooring
successfully sell odd and even
| lengths, thus lessening waste in the
| woods, at the mill, and in the con-
struction of buildings.
