NAMES HARDWOODS.
Survey of States Resources Has
Been Completed. III

Survey of States Resources Has
Been Completed. III
Vico C. Isola, executive secretary
of the Maine Hardwood Association,
has announced the completion OF a
tabulation of the actual resources OF
Maine in hardwoods, the first OF It's
kind to be published.
According to these figures, which
are expected to prove of value to
manufacturers of hardwood pro-
ducts. Maine is not using its annual
growth by about IT'S millions OF
board feet.
Mr.. Isola says: what other
hardwood region in the United
States can boast of practically vir-
gin stands of timber where the
growth is exceeding the annual cut
at all, or if at all, by such wide
margin? What an opportunity thls
offers for the hardwood mill Wnlcn
sees it's present supply of timber last
being depleted, to come into Maine
for a lifetime supply.
According to the figures, which
were arrived at by sending question
naires to each of the hardwood
manufacturers and producers of the
State, an available stand Of at least
ten billion board feet of hardwood
awaits the needs of the consumer,
within easy economic hauling dis
tance The total stand in the state
is figured at twenty-five billions, a
large part Of the unavailable supply
being situated in Aroostook county.
Part of this would be made available
by the proposed railroad backed by
Senator Gould.
The ten billion feet listed as
available Is made up as follows:
yellow birch, three billion feet;
white birch, two billion feet; rock
maple. two billion feet; beech, two
billion feet; miscellaneous, one
billion feet.
Replies sent in from over go per
cent. of the hardwood manufactur-
ers OF Maine, believed to cover more
than 95 per cent. of the total
amount of hardwood used annually
indicate that total of less than
seventy-five million board feet OF
hardwood makes up the annual cut
for manufacturing purposes. Tne
growth is figured as being one per
cent per year, and these figures
applied to the estimated total stand
of twenty-five billions Of board feet
indicate that the growth exceeds
the cut each year by at least ITS
millions of board feet.
Mr. Isola calls attention to the
fact that the floating of hardwoods
to market is impracticable in the
majority of cases, as the wood does
not float readily. "It is done IN
some cases, as on the upper Kenne-
bee, by rafting hardwood logs with
percentage of softwood included
to make the RATS float. This can
not be done in rivers where there
are bad rapids, as the RATS break
up and the logs are thus lost" he
said.
Veneer mills in Michigan and
other states keep their hardwood
logs in artificially heated ponds
through the winter, as this draws
the frost from the logs and makes
it possible to saw them even In very
cold weather These "hot ponds
are heated by live steam forced un-
der the water under pressure, and
Mr.. Isola believes that this method
of handling hardwoods in cold
weather will eventually be used In
Maine, when the industry expands
as it is certain to in the next few
years.

BY SOL METZGER.

Although only the experts see
it, the job Of a lineman in open
ing hole for the runner, espe-
cially when he has to do it alone,
is as important as anything in
foot ball. Usually he has a team
mate to help him. That is called
double teaming. When the task is
his alone an effective method is to
line up as shown in figure /. On
the snap of the ball he lunges low
with his head and shoulders, all
the while driving himself forward
with his legs we'll under him in an
attempt to shove his shoulders
into the belt of his opponent Zig
ure p. When that Is accomplish.
ed he quickly lifts his head and
shoulders. thus raising the body
Of his opponent into a high posi-
ton, one that will not permit him
to drive forward with his legs
(igure 81.
All the while this lineman drives
forward with his legs, with the
inevitable result that he carries
this opponent backward and to
either side he desires, eventually
falling on top of him as the latter
topples backward and loses his
balance Figure ~.
We were taught that method of
charging almost 30 years ago.
Every Saturday we see it prac-
ticed by about every team we see
play. Foot ball has changed
much. But In line play most Of
the old-time methods are still
much in vogue.
