Wood Fibers.

The common ideas concerning wood
hkers are not justified by the extended
tests of the United States forest prod
ucts laboratory. Each species of wood
does not have its characteristic fiber
length. but greater difference may
be found between the fbers of an indi-
vldual tree than between the average
'engths in different species. The length
of fiber does not seen to affect the
strength of the wood, as the longest
fbers often belong to the weakest ma
,erial.
