High Humidity 

 Dry Kiln 



CIRCULATION IS KING 



Of the three controlHng factors 

 in Dry Kiln operation — heat, 

 humidity, and circulation — cir- 

 culation is king. The circula- 

 tion is your transportation sys- 

 tem delivering the necessary 

 heat and humidity to your lum- 

 ber. If your circulation falls 

 down, or is inadequate and not 

 uniform your drying suffers 

 accordingly. 



The largest manufacturers of 

 drying equipment now offer 

 you their services in regard to 

 your lumber drying problems.

Mengel Opposes Mahogany Tariff 



c. c;. Mfngpl, .Ir.. vici- iin-si.lc'iit (if Tlir .Mi'iiki'I Co.. Louisville, has se- 

 ■ II red a little publicity in the press wlthiu the past few days, opposing the 

 l''or(lney Tariff Bill lu eonuectlon with the proposed ten per cent ad 

 valorem tax on importation of mahogany logs, which he holds will stifle 

 Aiacrlcan sales In Englancl and Kuro|)c. He further contends that it would 

 i'esult in increased cost of mah(»gany lumber in this country, and result in 

 substitution, which would further devastate the American forests, while 

 the cost of collecting the tax would be greater than the net results to the 

 <;ovprnment. As the bill Is written Mr. Mengel argues that veneers and 

 lumber would be produced in foreign countries, and shipped into this coun- 

 liy in competition with production of American manufacturers.
