Thanks to the activities of the Unit
ed States department of agriculture,
and especially the forest products lab
oratory, ways have been revealed by
which well nigh every scrap of tree
can be put to good account, and the
waste material of one plant or factory
can be utilized gainfully in the manu-
facture of commodities turned out by
others, says the Scientific American.
Through the medium of the wood
waste exchange much Is being done to
promote the further working up of by
product lumber, but the practice is
relatively only in its infancy with us.
Finally it should be kept in mind that
the alcohol that can be made from
sawdust is chemically identical with
grain alcohol, and therefore valuable
for many industrial purposes. AS a
source of energy, in place of gasoline,
It is used successfully and extensively
abroad. A ton of so-called wood refuse
will YIELD as much as 20 gallons of
alcohol.
