BLACK WALNUT LOGS
ARE GREATLY NEEDED
Government Must Have Every
Available Bit To Win War.


More interested is being mani
tested on Tie part of the United
States Government in regard to the
location and utilization of black
walnut. Every few days, buyers for
the firms which have contracts with
the Government to manufacture
gun stocks and Iropellar blades and
Extension men connected with the
[. S. Forest Service have been call
ing upon County Agent Teal to dis
cuss the prospects of securing wal
nut logs in this county. The latest
visitation on the part of repre-
sentative of the u. s. Forest Se'v-
ice was that of w d. Brush who is
encouraging wherever possible the
pooling of carload quantities of
black walnut to be shipped to con
Venient points where material i
badly needed. Mr. Brush suggests
that If enough can be gotten togeth-
er TO make one or more carloads,
an inspector would be sent out
from the FIRMS contracting for the
walnut. He has suggested that par
tics interested set in touch with
the Forest Service through the of
fee of the County Agen. O. tie
directly to the Williamson Veneer
Co, Baltimore. Md; to the Breeze
Veneer Co, Kenova, w. Va. or to
/ other firms which have been listed
and can be given out on demand.
Mr.. W. D. Ham, a buyer of gun
stoke and propeller blade material
j had been spending considerable
time in the county representing the
/ L. S. Government in getting mater
| ial to the proper manufacturing
points. He states that be is in a DO.
sftion to offer up to $50 per NJ
beard feet for % inch clear black
walnut logs and that the scale Of
prices are reduced at the rate of
! 800 per inch for logs less in di-
ameter than 90 inches. At this
rate, IL to ii inch logs would
/ bring around $500 per NJ board
/ feet.
Black Walnut is certainly ur-
eently needed for war purposes.
Firms having contracts with the
Government to furnish black wal
nut for gun stocks and airplane
propellars, and their subcontractor
buy logs in carload lots and most
of them buy standing timber of
merchantable amounts. These af-
ford the best markets for owners
of walnut. In outlying sections of
walnut production, however, the
small sawmill sometimes offers the
fonly practical means OF utilizing
walnut as war material, selling the.
product to firms filling Govern
| ment contracts, A list of the latter
nhy be had by addre,ssins the For
coiVt, FoltSt iStIVlCS, w dSllUSCOn.

well to communicate with them.
Logs are wanted IL inches and
