made" Lumber
May Solve Much
In Structural World

WASHINGTON. July Shy A. p.
MaiD-Experimen in the making
of artificial lumber are arousing
increasing interest among govern
ment officials and leaders in the lunl-
Der industry.
Although none of The product has
been marketed, officials of the Ma
tional Lumber Manufacturers as
sociation declare that tests already
made of a synthetic composition pro-
duced by Minnesota lumber interests
show it possesses many qualities
making it available for structural
purposes.
The experiments are based on
somewhat the same principle as that
employed in the manufacture of
process not only the trunks and
branches of young trees. but the
leaves and smaller parts as well are
ground up and mixed with other
substances, virtually eliminating
waste. The resulting compounds is
capable of being moulded into sizes
and shapes of almost any descrip-
ton needed in building.
officials. of the Lumber Manufac-
turing association declare that if a
practical method of this sort can be
perfected. the result may be to
revolutioniZe the entire lumber in
dustry. Aside from utilizing the
present great waste in converting
trees into disable lumber, they say, 1t
presents a solution to the manu-
facturer's problem of finding SUI
ficient material in the country's rap
idly diminishing timber resources.
From the time the standing tree is
f,,rnnl nv fhn Sautrain into MIA olc
and boards and applied in construc-
ton, from 60 to 65 percent has been
wasted. This includes stumps. chips,
banks and branches, plank and log
trimmings and huge amount of
sawdust. The new method will use
all of this.
Already s750,Oo0 have been spent
in experimental work in this direc-
.tion by the Weyerhaeuser lumber in
terests in Minnesota. Their ex-
periments are said to have been I'M
dertaken largely because one of the
chief obstacles encountered by lum-
Der Manufacturers is the competition
of paper manufacturers. who can use
young trees unsuitable for lumber
purposes. This is especially i'm
portant in the Lake states where
pulp mills SO compete with sawmills
that very little saw timber will be
grown commercially under present
conditions. Timber owners find that
in from Is to 20 years they can grow
crops of spruce that will be suitable
for the pulp and paper mills, whereas
it would take from SO to 100 years
to grow a crop that would meet the
requirements of the lumberman.
According to The manufacturers
association, tests have shown the
artificial lumber to have a salts
factor! tensile strength and to be
capable of being sawed. planned and
nailed. so that the product lacks
only the charm of the grain effects
of natural wood. Officials of the for
estry service, while declaring they
had not yet been assured the
strength of the artificial boards
equals that of the natural ones, be-
lieve they would be useful for many
purposes. One Of theft strong points,
1t Is said at the forestry service, is

able intention of the legislature Of
1864 towards this road has not yet
been made effective. owing to the
unwillingness of Massachusetts to
relinquish the debt of the State of
Maine, which is in a sense a lien
upon the lands conditionally granted
the road. The company is now
bending all its energies upon COM
pleting the road to Winn. ----.
The lands at present, from the very
absence of railroad facilities, would
not command very high price in the
market: but if made available to the
mediate advantage to it, and would
in a short time amply reimburse the
state in the increase of taxable
property. AS it is. both lands and
road languish. Start the road anu
both come into activity at once: and
perhaps this is the most expeditions
way to make these lands available to
the state in money"
It is pointed out that this step
turned land that was unproductive
and earning nothing for the State
into an asset through taxation, that
country was opened up by the
building of a hundred and fifteen
miles Of railroad. The compiler of
these facts comments: 1--WE advocate
the building of highways by means
of the sale of bonds of the State. all
of which are to be paid by postc:ity
and condemn the citizens of Maine
of the sixties who aided the building
of railroads for permanent i'm
provement" Really it would seem
that we owe those Maine forefathers
at least the truth about what they
did and the motives hey had for the
doing
