Plywood Possible
Lincoln Industry

A new possible use for native
woods in the Kootenai forest is
plywood, Forester Howard Ahlskog
disclosed this week.
Mr. Ahlskog, who recently re-
turned from the Forest Products
Laboratory at Madison, Wisconsin,
remarked that the Laboratory has
made some very satisfactory samples
of plywood from logs sent from
this locality last fall.
1t is possible, he added, that a
small diversified industry may
spring up if the woods run true

free from knots and other defects
are required for making pIywood.
