Hines Has Instructive Exhibit 



Tlie Edward Hines Lunibfi' ('(iniiiaiiy ik-paited radi'allv fiiijii tliu 

 old-time idea of showing samples of lumber at publir expositions 

 in its impressive and attractive exhibit at the Pageant of Progress 

 nn the $5,000,000 pier at Chicago. 



The illustration, herewith, shows part of the exliibit and illustrates 

 the thought behind it. This map is the first of its kind ever shown 

 and was prepared especially by tlie Hines organization on the basis 

 of a most exhaustive survey of government and Forest Service sta- 

 tistics of timber stands. It graphically shows the location of all 

 species of commercial timber throuhout the country and is most illumi- 

 nating and has proven most interesting and instructive to the vast 

 throngs of people who are daily visiting the Pageant. 



The areas of timber stand are indicated on the original map in 

 colors, the complete list of species with the total stand being shown 

 in the upper right-hand corner. The areas of growth are as follows: 

 Pacific Northwest Douglas fir, spruce, etc., the light shaded section, 

 upper left-hand corner; redwood, the small shaded strip along the 

 coast line of middle California; western pine, the three dark sliaded 

 areas in Washington, Oregon and northern California; California 

 western pine, sugar pine, fir, etc., the large shaded area in California, 

 the small strip between that and the redwood area and the dark 

 shaded area in Arizona and New Mexico; Inland Empire fir, etc., tfyp 

 light shaded area in Montana, northern Idaho and northeastern Ore- 

 gon. Northern hardwoods, all of the dark shaded areas in the northern 

 section adjacent to the Great Lakes and in northern New England; 

 southern hardwoods, the light shaded area, taking in West Virginia, 

 Kentucky, Tennessee, part of Arkansas, Missouri, etc.; southern 

 yellow pine, the dark shaded area immediately south of hardwoods: 

 cypress, the three lighter areas shown in the midst of the yellow pine 



^ection, namely Louisiana, Georgia and Florida; North Carolina 

 yellow pine, the white area in North Carolina, Virginia and Soutli 



Carolina. 



Ten Million Dollar Loss in Stain and Mold to Be 

 Investigated by Forest Service 



Losses to the lumber and woodworking trade amounting to 

 .•tilO,000,000 through degrade of lumber by sap stain and mold 

 were recently estimated by the United States Forest Service and 

 the Bureau of Plant Industry, based on a survey of the southern 

 ]iine and hardwood field. The survey is preliminary to a study to 

 be made by the Forest Products Laboratory, Madison, Wis., on 

 sap stain and molds as they affect the wood industries throughout 

 the United States. 



Price reductions based on blue stain degrade have varied from 

 $10 to $27 per M board feet in the sash and mill work field alone, 

 according to figures obtained in the survey. In the cooperage 

 industry the annual loss due to blue stain is estimated at $800,000. 

 The prices received for stained sap gum lumber were decreased 

 in amounts varying from $1..50 to as high as $15 per M board feet. 

 Continued calls made by manufacturers upon the Forest Products 

 Laboratory for suggestions as to means of controlling stain indicate 

 that the problem cannot be completely solved by any method now- 

 used. 



Further details of the stain and mold jiroblem in every branch 

 of the wood-using industry are now being gathered by the Forest 

 Products Laboratory by means of questionnaires.
