Top-COmpressed treated wood
becomes very hard and dense. The
three balsa blocks in the picture
were all originally the same size,
but the second and third from the
left have been subjected to heavy
pressure. The thinnest, at the right,
is now harder than any known wood,
and 10 times as heavy as the origi-
nal balsa. Balsa is one of the soft
est and lighteSt woods known.
BelOW-Remarkable resistance of
treated wood to warping is shown
by this test, the result of which is
pictured. Two strips of veneer, one
treated and one untreated, were
placed on wet towel. The untreated
strip curled up, while the impreg-
mated remained fiat.

Mr.. Preston said, but also as
means of building up wood re-
serves to create an income balance
wheel. We might call it an ever
normal woodbin. Farm forestry has
long served such purpose in Euro
pean countries.
"Originally there were 9l3 million
acres of forest land in this country,
but 60 per cent of this was converted
into farms, and farms now occupy
fully half of the land area of the
United States. The move now is
to reconvert much of this cleared
land to farm woodlands.
"On farms today, l2,50O,000 acres
mostly abandoned fields and gull
lies - are suitable only for refores-
tation. Of this large acreage, only
Is per cent is in the south. Sixty
per cent is in the central region
between Iowa and Missouri on the

in the dimension resulting from the
press.
Thus, treated wood may be COM
pressed to produce a stable, ex-
tremely hard, dense product with a
consolidated closed surface requir-
ing no filling, sanding or polishing.
1t is possible to apply moderate
pressures sufficient to compress and
consolidate only the surface or outer
zone of the treated wood to produce
hard finish. If polished or en-
bossed platens are used, these
finishes can be reproduced on the
surface of the wood. As far as is
now known, the treatment does not
have any adverse effect on the
gluing and finishing characteristics
of the wood. Flame resistance is
improved, and the wood is also more
resistant to fungi, rot and pest in
feStatiOn.
But from experiments made in Du
Pont laboratories, it appears certain
that a process has been developed
which will give new value to the
trees standing on every farm wood
lot. That should give an impetus to
rcfOrestation of many marginal
farms, bringing back a woodland

and New York on the east. Three
and one-half million acres are con-
sidered desirable for shelter belts"
The soil conservation district pro-
gram, under which the farmers
themselves decide what lands are
suitable for woodlands, today offers
a practical opportunity for giving
the Du Pont process a real tryout.
By means of the process, wood
can be made for the manufacture of
doors, windows and drawers that
will not swell and stick, or contract
and become loose. Wood can be
made strong enough to substitute
for even steel in certain machinery
parts. In a few days woods harder
than ebony, which take century to
grow, can be made at small
expense.
Poplar becomes harder than hard
maple, which in turn can be made

Two pieces of wood, one impreg-
mated with methylOlurea and the 9TH

fame of an alcohol burner. The
untreated wood soon took fame,
while the impregnated merely
chars.
At right is shown a demonstration
of hardness. Two blocks of wood,
one treated, the other untreated, but
otherwise exactly the same, were
squeezed with &C" clamp to the
same extent. Untreated wood shows
a deep depression, while treated
wood was scarcely denied.

Many Canned Goods
Off Ra+ion Lists
Despite Shortages

WASHINGTON, Sept. II -
(LPA)-"It just doesn't add up"
is the conclusion of responsible
Washington officials who have
tried to figure why all canned
vegetables have been taken off
the rationing lists after Septem-
Der IT. Left on ration restric-
tions now are only canned
fruits, some meats, fats, and
some milk products, and sugar.
Figures quoted by govern
ment experts indicate that there
will be even smaller quantities
of some of the canned vegetables
in this years pack than there
were last year.
In addition, grave concern
has been expressed by agencies
that will have the responsibility
for feeding large areas of deva-
stated Europe that no food will
be available here for this pur-
pose, unless rationing is continu-
ed at least until the first emer-
gency period is past in Europe.
In spite of the needs of such
nations as France, Poland and
Greece, at present foods for
these countries are allocated
after all military, lend-lease and
civilian uses here are met.

Trick Trops
OufloWed

Now and then a red-blooded
lad reading about the Redskins
and their snares, or learning
from dad how to make a figure
four trigger, sets out to try
some of his knowledge on birds
or wildlife. So he becomes a
lawbreaker unknowingly, first
because it is unlawful to trap
birds at all, and next because the
use of snare or deadfall of any
kind is ruled out by law in TAX
ing any wild bird or quadruped
at amy time.
Boys are not the only ones
who may knowingly, or un-
knowingly, run afoul of trap
ping laws, the Law Enforce
ment officers of the Division of
Conservation have found out.
Here are some pointers all
who set traps should know:
No trap shall be set on or
under highway, or a path, or
within ten feet of any muskrat
house.
Traps, except on fur farms,
must bear legible name and ad-
dress plates of the owners.
No nonresident of Ohio may
maintain or use more than 25
traps at any time.
Open seasons on furbearers
must be observed.

Pheosonfs Sought
AS HELPERS

COLUMBUS, Sept. IL. - A
novel request reached the Divi-
sion of Conservation some time
ago in which Robert Brehmer,
Circleville florist, inquired if it
would be possible to obtain
some young pheasants to put in
his cloth house, such as florists
use in growing chrysanthemums,
roses, asters, etc. In the dirt
used for the planting beds are
aften the unmatched eggs of
grasshoppers, cutWorms a n d
other damaging worms a n d
bugs, and Mr.. Brehmer's idea
was that the pheasants would
consume the unwelcome visitors.
The Division field men were
intrigued by the proposal and
ten young pheasants were fur
nished for the experiment. MIR
Brehmer built regulation pen
which was installed in the cloth
house in which enclosure the
birds were kept for a few days,
and then were allowed to roam
all over the cloth house.
Results were reported as very
satisfactory. The birds survived
one hundred per cent and the
worms and bugs were eradicat-
ed completely, including hop
pers, bugs and cut worms. This
would seem to prove that phea-
SAINTS are voracious feeders on
worms and insects and do good
work on land where they oper-
ate.
Last week Mr.. Barnett of the
Lost Creek Nurseries near Lima
wrote the Division of Conser-
vation for advice on raising
pheasants and taking care of
them through tn e winter
months. II want them on the
nursery because of their value
to me in the destruction of in
sects on the evergreens, he ex-
plained.

Poor Come
Season Predicted

LANSING. Sept. IL - Pros
poets for the 1914 northern up
land game bird seasons are
rated as poor to fair by conser-
vation department authorities.
Hunter success is expected to
be spotty, on the basis of scat
tered reports from department
field men. Fewer birds have
been seen by most observers
than at this time last year, al
though it is pointed out that ex-
treme drouth conditions over
much of the state may have
caused birds to seek lowlands
and to have discouraged their
movements over much of their
normal range.
The take of ruffed grouse,
prairie chicken, and sharptailed
grouse was down last year.
Hunters reported a kill of $780,
III ruffed grouse as against
381, ,602 in 1912. The prairie
chicken take dropped to 1870
last season from % Alb in 1912,
and sharptails dropped to 49,
059 from 1902 the preceding
year.
Declines in totals of birds
taken last season may have re-
flected lowered hunting press
ures in many areas, game men
point out.
This year, however, the birds
just don't seem to be in their
usual summering places.

Fish Study
Begins In
Michigan

LANSING, Mich. Sept. IL. -
Whether commercial fishing in
Great Lakes waters is helped
by paintings of hatchery-reared
lake trout may be determined
through projected six-year
program which gets under way
at Charlevoix federal fish
hatchery this week.
Some 100000 lingering lake
trout are held at the hatchery
for fin-clipping and planting in
Lake Michigan in the vicinity
of the Fox Islands before
September is.
The Wisconsin conservation
department is cooperating in
the marking operations.
In the future, states border
ing Lake Michigan will pay
rewards of two dollars per fish
for legal and undersized lake
trout which show fin markings,
taken by fishermen. Data coll
lected may provide needed in
formation concerning survival
ratios of artificially-reared fish
and their migratory habits.
The program contemplates
similar marking and planting
operations to be carried out in
Wisconsin hatcheries and waters
next year with assistance of
Michigan authorities. The mark
ing and planting operations
may be continued through 1946
and during the three yeaN
follow there may be no
of lake trout allowed durirf. -
spawning seasons.
Claims are made that artifi-
cial propagation and planting of
lake trout is wasted effort. The
six-year experiment may pro-
vide the answer, as we'll as
showing whether Michigan is
paying for fish that migrate to
Wisconsin waters, or vice versa.
The U. S. Fish and Wildlife
Service also is cooperating in
the program.

PheuSunfS
Released In

LANSING, Sept. 13 - First
releases of pheasants reared by
southern Michigan state prison
inmates are being made this
week on downstate game areas
administered by the conserva-
ton department. Three subse-
quent releases of birds will con-
tinue through October. About
2400 birds will be released.
The departments pheasant
rearing activities, which had
been carried on for several years
at the state game farm near
Mason, were transferred to the
instutitution farm last spring.
Another thousand birds reared
this year will be held for breed
ing purposes.
About half of the birds that
will be released in coming weeks
are cocks. The birds carry leg
bands and hunters will be asked
to report banded birds shot, sup
plying band numbers, dates and
localities taken.

Carrots VS. Onions
AS Deer Lure

LANSING, Sept. IL. - The
fact that deer will walk miles
for carrot is threatening an
ambitious venture of Arenac
county onion growers.
The growers are preparing
several square miles of much
soil north of Omer and Au Ores
for future onion crops. Because
wireworms attack first sowings
of onions in new soil, the land
is readied for a season or two
with paintings of carrots which
are not relished by the worms.
After the wireworms are starved
out, onion growing can begin.
Arenac county deer, however,
appear to believe that the car
rots were planted for their es-
pecial benefit, and the growers
are clamoring for conservation
department aid in chasing them
away. Carbide "exploders" -
devices which combine noise
and flash-have been taken to
the area.

Action

OF the P0IItlcdL Action Committee
Last week the City Cen

is composed of two delegates
from each Ward and Town
ship Club met and endorsed
four candidates for public
office. These are President
Roosevelt and his running
mate Senator Truman, Lam
don Hall for county treasurer
and Judge Frank Wiley for
prosecutor.
These endorsements demon
strate the non-partisan char
acter of the P. A. c. for two
of the endorsed candidates
are Democrats and two are
Republicans.
On the tenth of October
the City Central Committee
will meet again. At this time
the question of endorsing can
didates for the remaining
offices to be filled by this
years general election will be
taken up. These offices will
include u. S. Congress and
Governor of Ohio.
1t is only thru effective
Political Action that the
gains labor has made in the
last twelve years can possibly
be saved. 1t is only thru
Political Action that we can
possibly 60 forward to the
establishment of full employ
ment and social security.
Political Action can only be
made effective thru the es-
tablishment of a functioning
Ward and Township set up.
In city the size of Toledo
the p. A. c. should have a
membership of ty-thousand.
This would give us enough
money and enough members.
For a successful Ward and
Township organization re-
quires active members, and a
successful program which can
guarantee decent social condi-
tions will necessitate a yearly
budget of twenty-five thou
sand dollars.
We are on the way and
have made a good start. We
do however need members.
Lots of them. Come up to room
410 at 425 Winthrop st. at the
