output of the metal up to the close OF

A vast amount of sawdust which
now goes up in smoke, being burned

Of dynamite and the making Of inlaid

Is used in making composition floor
ing, oatmeal paper and in several 9TH
er industries. An abundance Of wood
-four could be obtained. 1t is pointed
out, in the 36,000,000 cords Of waste
products of the sawmills produced
each year in the United States. About
one-half Of this waste product goes
into the furnaces as fuel while the
remainder Is burned as refuse.
"All wood flour using industries re-
quire a white or very light cream
colored flour having good absorptive
powers" says statement issued by
the forest service. THE wood spe-
cies that may be used are confined to
the light, nonresinous conifers. and
the white, broad-leafed woods like
poplar, spruce AMI white pine are the
species most used. Mill waste, free
from bark, furnishes much of the raw
material for making wood flour.
For use in dynamite the trade de-
mands require a white wood -four,
since the freshness of dynamite stock
is indicated by light color. Dyna-
mite -four must also be very absorp-
tive. so there will be no leakage of
nitroglycerin from the finished prod
uct. Wheat-four mill refuse and In
fusorial earth have also been used in
dynamite making. but wood -four has
practically replaced them in this
country.

the report declares. "either wood or

Uncle Sam Plans to Extend Serv.
ice Which Was Started
as Experiment.
DAILY REPORT AVAILABLE
information Disseminated Regarding
Conditions at Buying centers,
Movement Of Cars, Prices
Offered and Condition
Of Products.

Uncle Sam made such q success Of
the experimental market news service
which he inaugurated in 1915 thGt he
is extending 1t to cover many other
perishable crops. In 1915 the gov.
ernment only attempted to dissent.
nate market information regarding
tour crope but plans are being made
to perform the same service for the
producers Of 16 different crops. One
Of the latest steps has been the in.
auguration of such a service for the
Texas Bermuda onion crop.
The work was begun in 1915 with
the dissemination of data on the
peach crops This service will be con-
tinued and 1t will be extended to 9th.
er crops as rapidly as possible.
Reports From Three Sources.
The market news service of the de.
partment Is based on three different
types of reports: First those from
railroads in the producing sections
second. reports secured from large
consuming markets; and, third, In
some cases local reports secured in
the producing sections. All the re-
ports provide data from which daily
estimates may be made regarding the
probable movement OF cars, destina-
tion Of cars, etc.
The information secured in these
three ways is telegraphed to the Of
flee of markets in Washington and
there analyzed and condensed into
summaries. These summaries are tele
graphed to the agents Of the office
in the producing and marketing cen
ters and by them made available to
those locally interested. In addition
the summaries are furnished to the
press and are telegraphed to anyone
who will guarantee to pay the tele.
graphic charges. To many others the
summaries are mailed the same day
in mimeographed form.
The reports from the large consum.
ing markets in 1915 covered 20 cities
These We're located in the territory ex.
tending from Boston, Mass, to Den.
yer, Colo, and as far south as Ohio
'i'Oi POihto anu dS ldI uOTtu as Mlll-
neapolis. The number of markets will
be extended and some of the more i'm.
portant southern markets will be i'll
cluded.
Agents In Principal Markets.
Salaried employees of the office OF
markets and rural organization are
stationed in all of the principal ,mar-
Sets, such as Boston, New York, Phila,
ielphia, Pittsburgh. Buffalo, st. Louis,
Chicago. and Kansas City, for the pur-
pose of procuring. receiving. tabulat.
.ng. and distributing market data. In
The smaller markets arrangements are
made. either by means of temporary
employees or of reports from severa!
of the large dealers. through which
an accurate quotation Of market con.
ditions is secured. AS result Of the
offices arrangement with the rail.
roads, its market reporters are able
to know the exact number OF cars Of
any commodity arriving In the mar.
ket In any one day, as we'll as the
section in which the cars originate.
The reporters also report the gen.
eral quality and condition of arrivals,
the Wholesale price obtained each day,
ana the nature of the demand fer
each commodity. Weather conditions
Affecting the market also are report
