In plain words, any method that proves feasible for using what are now termod waste woods, will be encourag ing the various plans tor reforestation and other measures of similar import. Tbe public may suspect ulterior mo tives on the part of these manufactur ers to be permitted to use this wood. They do not disclaim that, becauso they are presenting a statement from noted authority on which their con ations are based. It Is safe to state that the ethics of this business asso ciation would refuse to sanction any method or any process that could not be proven profitable for all concerned. The statement may be of Interest. “The Utilization of Blue Stained Wood, by Ernest E. Hubert, Assistant athologlst, Bureau of Plant Industry, in Co-operation with Forest Service, Forest Products Laboratory. 'Blue stain In lumber and other wood products Is a universal blemish common in nearly all the wood-using Industries of the country. It Is also very troublesome and costly one, cau Ing an annual loss of millions of dol lars due to degrade. It has been found a difficult matter to eliminate this loss and much blue-stained material finds Its way Into the markets and is ,o various uses. Until control methods are developed which will ef fectively and economically prevent all staining and moulding In wood, we will continue to have before us the prob lem of how best to utilize discolored stock. “For a large variety of uses, stain- free stock is absolutely essential and no attempt should be mads to substi tute blued stock. Bat for a great many purposes where appearance la not of primary Importance or where the wood is to be covered up or the discolored material painted, and where the Use of sap wood Is not objectionable, there Is no reason for dlicrimlnatlng against It. providing no wood-destroying fungi are associated with thef stain, in sap wood the conditions which favor the rapid development of mpld and stains also offer the opportunity tor Infection with wood-destroying fungi. In n mending the use of blued stock care fdecay It to be favored In this re should therefore be taken to determ ine whether the durability in respect decay >• of prime Importance. ‘mim .took which has been kU» FURRY ANIMAL SKINS. There Is great demand these days tor the skins of furry animals, and ;tns that are classed as fun com mand prices that will seem surpris ingly high to those not well Informed i these things. The Scientific American makes this comment on the present-day hunt for fur-bearing animals of all aorta and sizes—a hunt which threatens the early extermination of many four- footed families; According to Dr. Wlllla T. Hor- naday. It takes eighty skins to make average mink wrap, two hundred a squirrel coat, and two hundred eighty for a black mole coat, nine ty skins may go to the making of a iped skunk Jacket, and three hun dred to a Siberian ermine wrap. Be- many years, If the present rate of slaughter continues, many of our Interesting animals will be prac tically extinct: even now tbe trapper ced rather far afield, and skins unmarketable are being used to supply the deficiency.” Herald man on a recent trip down Fenholloway river In the northern t of Florida, fell In with a young Georgian who was down there trap ping coons, and was surprised to learn that coon skins command anywhere from five dollars to ten dollars etch. This young man was using traps, and from twenty to thirty of these each night. He said he shipped his to 3L Louis. Asked how many he usually caught In a night, ho "Well, sometimes i catch and I hare caught as high •a six in a night, but then again, l sometimes don't catch nary one.” that he finds the trapping of coons profitably when the .kins bring from five dollars to ten dollars each.—Albany Herald.
