FOREST SERVICE AIDS
IN AiRPLAAE PROGRAM
Finds Method of Conditioning
Wood to Take Place of Air.
Drying Method.

When the United States entered tho
wal the need for wood to build air
danes quickly created a difficult prob
lem. Most Of the a~ir-seasoned wood
available had been bought for air
planes for the allied nations abroad.
Thorough air seasoning of sHch stock
requires from one TO three years, ac-
cording 10 the size and kind of wood.
Kiln-drled stock under the methods
ordinarily used has frequently proved
unsatisfactory. and for that reason air
plane manufacturers have been re-
luctant to use Ii. If the needs OF the
fghting forces were to be met sde-
quately and without prolonged delay,
4 was essential that methods of con
litioning should be available in which
,ull confidence could be placed.
Long before this situation developed
he forest products laboratory of the
forest service, at Madison, Wis. had
been making q scientific study of the
trying OF wood. and had developed a
method OF drying which has been very
successful with all the woods dried.
Several kilns have been built At the
laboratory for experimental purposes
and q number of demonstrations made
In commercial kilns. Ash and spruce
are the woods most In demand for air
nlane construction, and. anticipating
the present situation. the forest serv-
ice procured q shipment Of partly air,
seasoned ash and spruce plank for
preliminary tests.
