WASHINGTON, Aug 6.-Sinee
the inauguration of its wood waste
exchange on April is last, the for
147 mills and factories as having
waste material for sale. while dur
ing the same time rs other wood-us-
ing concerns have asked to be listed
as desiring to purchase waste at a
wide range of species in specified di-
mensions or as mill or factory run.
The latter have been included in the
list of Opportunities to Sell Waste"
which is sent monthly to concerns
which have waste material for sale
This list is growing steadily but the
forest service is anxious to acceler-
ate its rate of growth inasmuch as it
comprises only about half as many
buyers as there are sellers listed un
der Opportunities to Buy Waste
The forest service has just been
notified by large novelty manufac-
turing concern in New York City that
the Wood Waste Exchange has en-
abled it obtain its raw material at
a considerable saving of money. This
factory uses small, semi-finished
blocks Of dogwood which it makes
into patent spool holders The fac
tory's requirements were published
under Opportunities to Sell Waste .
and a manufacturer of shuttle blocks
promptly seized the opportunity to
dispose of the pieces of dogwood
which previously were discarded as
waste in his factory.
Similarly, other buyers are now,
through the Wood Waste Exchange.
obtaining material of good quality at
a cost lower than they had been pay
ing for raw material in the form Of
logs or standard lumber, and with
out themselves having to accumulate
waste by cutting raw material into
required sizes. On the other hand,
many mills and factories which were
burning their waste or disposing OF
it at firewood prices are now selling
it at a fair profit.
The forest service desires the CO.
operation of all manufacturers Of
small wooden comodities and invites
them to list their requirements with
the Wood Waste Exchange. There IS
no charge for this service.

ARBOR DAY SUGGESTIONS.
lFrom the Rutland NeWs.J

The Rutland News makes the excel
,ent suggestion that .Aroor day he de-
voted 10 determination of the caterpillar
pest In Vermont. However, there Is some
reason to believe that the efforts should
not ne delayed even so short a time az
Arbor day. the cateipillars may have
reached the sta &c OF development 50 that
it will be an impossibi!ity to check them.
A better suggestion would be that every
dar from now till Arbor day should be
devoted to the determination, with tbs
final summing TIP Of the efforts on Arbor
day itself"-Barre Times.
The News hastens to second and EN-.
phasizc the suggestion of the Times: ia
fact, it has several times advocated tho
same thing. Arbor dav. insofar as It
means saving or treee by discriminating
the tent caterpillar pest, should he OBJ
served every DAY persistently. Like
cleanup week. the l~allying cry should
be: Wage war unce asinglv against Nth;
and the caterpillar is the most noisome
filth we're harooring to-day.
