WOOD BY WEIGHT.
Fuel Administrators Says ttshould he
So Sold.

Fuel Administrator Says ttShouid Be
So sold.
Ina general way, the price OF firewood
depends upon the amount of heat 1t gives
off in burning. The general ciassification
into hard and soft wood and the differences
in price between birch and the better hard
woods. are based on this. But the prices
are only very rough approximation TO
real value.
Wood is composed OF woody fiber with
a small amount of ash. The bark OF WOOD
has much higher ash content than wood,
and is of lower fuel value. The woody
fiber that makes up me bulk..of wood has
approximately the same fuel value IN
different kinds OF wood. A pound OF
white birch wood will, when. burned, give
of as much heat as pound OF hickory OF
beech. A pound Of soft maple gives on
as much heat as pound OF rock maple
But cord OF air-dry white birch weighs
$500 pounds, and a cord of hickory weighs
$500 pounds. A cord OF soft maple weighs
8. 500 pounds, and cord of rock maple
weighs 1000 pounds.
Obviously, the amount of,water there is
in wood greatly affects its. weight. Green
wood is twice as heavy as "dfy wood" and
the length OF time the wood has been cut,
and the way it has .beenlstored, affect its
water content greatly. Well cured, air
dried wood will carry from. 20 to Is per
cent. OF water. Wood that has been cut
six months will have lost two-thirds of its
water, but will still have shout 30 per
cent. II the fuel value OF "dry wood" be
assumed as 100, that for wood cut nine
months will be IS, six Imonths-eo, three
months SIS and green wood will have fuel
value of IS.
Wood is practically Riways.sold by mea-
sure, and coal is prsctically.always sold by
weight. And yet q cubic foot OF coal IS
far more uniform than a cubic foot of
wood. Coal packs about the Isame, while
wood, as piled, varies greatly. Dry wood
is about as even in its water content as
coal is. We are right in selling coal by
weight, but wood should also be sold by
weight. A cord of tpine, fir balsam, or
hemlock weighs, " hen air-dry, about !, 200
pounds, ana Is worth hDout udlt 40 kuaSu
for fuel as a cordiof sir-dry rock maple.
Sold by weight at % &C nts per 100 pounds,
the cord of pine would be worth $40 and
the cord of maple S.
Many complaints of short measure and
inferior quality of wood have been re-
ceived by the state fuel wood committee.
Some of these are serious frauds. Few of
them could have occurred il wood were
sold by weight instead OF measure. The
differences in water content OF wood that
has been cut six months are slight COM
pared to the differences in volume due to
the way wood is piled. Just as the food
administration has found it expedient to
insist that all food materials shall be sold
by weight and not by measure, the fuel
administration may insist upon wood be-
ing sCld by weight.
