The great per cent of this waste Is a
waste from the standpoint Of lumber
1t has been demonstrated that a good
portion of the so-called waste can be
successfully utilized. Small articles
are constructed from the pieces of
wood which would otherwise be use
less. Again. much of the waste can be
changed in character by chemicals and
SO made marketable
In the first instance wooden laths are
made from small pieces of wood also

all kinds of tools. picture frames trim

States is at present so well supplied
with hard woods and soft woods, and
the price is. relativelHspeaking, so low,
that utilizing this raw material is not
always feasible. As fuel it is. Of
course. usually desirable.
The manufacture of certain small
wooden articles requires a special kind
of machinery. and the annual waste in
given locality may not be sufficient
to warrant the installation of the
machinery. A great deal of the waste
is in different shapes and sizes, and
in such cases sorting is necessary, and
is frequently so expensive for one rea-
son or another that it does not pay to
touch the waste wood. These are Illus
trative of the many other reasons that
loom up and make this utilization of
wood waste expensive or impossible
for small concerns However. expert
mental work is being done constantly
along these lines and a practical solu-
ton of the question is promised.
The field is more promising when
utilization involves a change. in the
woods, such as yellow pine. spruce, as
pen, balsam. hemlock, Eastwood. tulip
poplar and others, can be made into
wood pulp.
The sawdust problem is one that the
forest service is still working on. The
use of sawdust resolves itself into a
purely local proposition 1t is used
largely for fuel. In sections of the
country where the price of coal Is
prohibitve. sawdust is made into
briquettes and sold. 1t is also used for
bedding cattle. Because il is a poor
conductor of heat, great quantities OF
ice are packed in it. A linoleum sub
stitute has been found, made from
wood flour and chemicals. Wood -four

making of many other things. wood

"A1 at Lloyd's" is a synonym for high
