 tion to several representatives of the Wis- 

 consin department of agriculture, who act- 

 ed as hosts. 



After going over conditions in Wiscon- 

 sin, a brief trip was made through the in- 

 fected area in Minnesota, where conditions 

 are even more serious than in this state. 

 A publicity campaign among pine owners, 

 showing practical control methods, is be- 

 ing started. The progress of white pine 

 blister is slow and hope of limiting its 

 spread is held. 



SEED BURNED FORESTS BY USE 

 OF AIRPLANES 



'T'HE Forest Service has been urged by 

 Representative Randall, of California, 

 to start a re-forcstatiun program for the 

 lire-denuded areas in the Sierra-Madrc 

 Range by using airplanes to scatter mil- 

 lions of tree seeds over these mountains 

 as soon as the rainy season begins. After 

 his conference with Service officials, Mr, 

 Randall wired civic organizations in Pacific 

 Coast cities to organize Forestry Services 

 to press action by the Government. 



BOOK REVIEWS 



"Forest Products — Their Manufacture 

 and Use," by Nelson Courtlandt Brown. 

 John Wiley & Sons, New York. 471 pages, 

 120 figures, $3.75 net. To those who are 

 interested in the cliief commercial features 

 involved in the principal forest industries, 

 lumber excluded, this book will be most 

 welcoine as filling a much needed gap in 

 Atnerican forestry literature on the prin- 

 ciples and practices followed in the pro- 

 duction of materials which, from the view- 

 point of invested capital and value of 

 products, are of greater importance, col- 

 lectively, than lumber. The subject is pre- 

 sented clearly and interestingly but 

 necessarily with brevity as it would not 

 be possible to treat in detail the many 

 topics covered in one voluine. This is ex- 

 emplified by the following subjects, each 

 treated in a separate chapter : General in- 

 troduction — Original forests — History of 

 lumber cut; Wood Pulp and Paper; Tan- 

 ning Materials; Veneers; Slack Cooper- 

 age; Tight Cooperage; Naval Stores; 

 Hardwood Distillation ; Softwood Distilla- 

 tion ; Charcoal ; Bo.xes and Shocks ; Cross 

 Ties; Poles and Piling; Posts; Mine Tim- 

 bers; Fuelwood ; Shingles and Shakes; 

 Maple Syrup and Sugar; Rubber; Dye 

 Woods and Materials; Excelsior; Cork. 

 The values and conditions used are, to a 

 large extent, given for the period prior to 

 the participation of this country in the 

 war. Commissioner Brown deeming this 

 advisable because of the wholly abnormal 

 and somewhat temporary conditions 

 brought about by the war itself. Brief 

 bibliographies, which were used to some ex- 

 tent as sources of information, are ap- 

 pended at the end of each chapter, and 

 can be consulted for further study in each 

 subject. Much of the data given have 

 been obtained by Commissioner Brown 

 during his personal investigation and in- 

 spection of operations in the South, the 

 Lake States, the Northwest and the far 

 West, while some of the material was col- 

 lected on his trips to various European 

 countries. 



"The Condensed Chemical Dictionary," 

 a reference volume for all requiring quick 

 access to' a large amount of essential data 

 regarding chemicals and other substances 

 used in manufacturing and laboratory 

 work. Compiled and edited by the 

 Editorial Staflf of the Chemical Engineer- 

 ing Catalog, F. M. Tumer, Jr., Technical 

 Editor. The Chemical Catalog Company. 

 Inc., New York. Price, $5.00. This book 

 differs from the ponderous reference books 

 of the technical laboratory in many re- 

 spects other than its small size and com- 

 pactness. It is written for the business 

 man, the lawyer — the man in the street 

 with only a slight knowledge of chemistry, 

 as well as for the professional chemist.
