WAR ON FOREST WASTE.
Government Says Only 3Oea of Wood
Goes Into Lumber.


Only 80 per cent of the wood in
forest now gets into the form of seasoned,
unplaucd lumber. OF this an additional
10 per cent is lost in the process of man
ufaCture. In extreme eases as little as
3 per cent of the wood in the forest may
reach the finished product" This state
ment is made in Il booklet just out by
the department of agriculture. entitled
Forest Products Laboratory, describing
the work and aims of the experimental
laboratory maintained by the Forest
Service, in cooperation with the Univer-
Sity of Wisconsin, at Madison, Wis. The
booklet outlines how, through inveStiga-
tiOn and experiment. the laboratory is
devising aud broadcasting practical COM
mercial methods by which this enormous
waste of the country's timber supply can
be reduced. BY reducing this waste. it
is pointed out, the life of the present
forests will be prolonged and THE problem
of growing new forests made simpler, be-
cause by preventing the waste of timber
less timber viii have to be grown.
Among the various methods studied at
the laboratory for decreasing waste of
forest products is the treatment of woods
and preServatlvcs resisting decay.
Through such treatment an annual say
ing Of / 1500. 100000 board feet is esti-
road ties alone, and the preservation of
other classes of timber would. in the ag-
gregate, greatly relieve the drain on our
forests.
The Forest Laboratory is a govern
ment institution; its advice and sugges-
tions are to be had for the asking, the
Department says. 1t presents. according
to the booklet, an opportunity for manu-
features, wood users and timber grow
ers TO supplement the information OBJ
tained by experience and Lard knocks
with technical data obtained through
scientific research.
