It has been the custom for the winners of the various cup tro- 

 phies to fill them with champagne on presentation at the evening 

 banquet, and to pass them around among the guests who partook 

 of refreshment therefrom. 



It was suggested by President J. W. Embree on this occasion 

 that just enough of this beverage be used this year to go tlirougli 

 the form of following this time-honored custom, and that the 

 money ordinarily spent for this purpose be diverted to the Ameri- 

 can Eed Cross. The suggestion met with whole-hearted approval. 



At the business sossion the usual routine work was carried 

 through. 



President Embree appointed as nominating cominittee, W. L. 

 Sharp and F. B. Stone. This committee named the following men 

 who were elected: 



President — C. M. Smnlley. 



ViCE-PiiEsiiiEXT — V. F. Mashek.

 stain in wooden vclii.-lr sturl; tli.-it is s.-iuc,! in diijiciisions and 

 shipped green duriii'; the sinuiiirr. In sc.in.- instances the losses 

 from this source run pretty liigh, and in extreme cases it amounts 

 to nearly the whole shipment. It is therefore important, that those 

 who ship such stock take all practicable precautions to keep the 

 damage as low as possible; but there seems to be a deficiency of 

 information as to what causes sapstain and how it may be lessened 

 or prevented. The committee sent out a questionnaire to shippers 

 and manufacturers, and asking for opinions as to the best, time to 

 cut vehicle stock and the best means to lessen sapstain during ship- 

 ment in summer. 



The substance of some of the replies is printed in the circular. 

 Some of them are practical and to the point, while others betray 

 a lack of knowledge as to what sapstain is and how and why it 

 acts. 



In the issue of H.vrdwood KeC( i;d of July 10, 1917, pages 18, 

 19, and 20, an article under the caption, "Troubles Caused by Sap- 

 stain," answers most of the questions asked in the circular, partic- 

 ularly those concerning measures to prevent such stain. The ar- 

 ticle is too long to be reproduced here, but some of the points may 

 be given: 



Sapstain is caused' by a fungus and is not due to any" sour sap" 

 in the wood. 



The fungus spores float in the air and fall upon the wet surface 

 of the wood where they grow and produce the stain. 



This fungus grows only in warm weather and only on damp sur- 

 faces. 



It affects green wood more than dry because the surface of the 

 green wood is damper. 



Therefore, the best preventive consists in drying the surface as 



quickly ns possible, and that is why it is beneficial to pile the lum- 

 ber to permit air to blow freely through the piles. The surface may 

 dry onougli in a few hours under favorable circumstances to pre- 

 vent the germination of the fungus spores that fall on it. In that 

 case, no staining can take place. This explains, also, why some 

 shippers obtain better results when they leave the car doors wide 

 open; air blows through and dries the surface of the stock within, 

 if it is placed in open piles with passageways for the air. 



The. season when the trees are cut has no good or bad effect 

 on the liability of the wood to sapstain, so far as the wood' itself 

 is concerned; but the warm weather may have a lot to do with 

 it. Fungus cannot germinate in cold weather, and trees converted 

 into lumber then are immune to attack because of the cold. Stock 

 sawed in winter is liable to be partly dry before warm weather, and 

 is fairly safe; but it is because its surface is dry and not because 

 it was cut in winter. Btit trees felled and lumber sawed in warm 

 weatlier may become stained before the surface has time to dry. 

 That is all there is in winter or summer sawing, so far as its lia- 

 bility to sapstain is concerned. 



The activity of the flow of sap in the tree has little or nothing 

 to do with sapstain of the wood after it is cut. • There is about 

 as much sap in a green tree at one season as at another, and where 

 there is any difference, there is more in winter than in summer. 

 Sap "goes up," but it never "goes down." It passes out through 

 the leaves and escapes, except a little thai is converted into new 

 wood. 



The suggestion contained in the circular sent out by the National 

 Implement and Vehicle Association that demension stock be placed 

 in open piles in the car for shipment is a good one. It has. reason 

 on its side. The other suggestion that the lumtjcr be sprinkled with 

 salt is probably a good one. The salt doubtless kills the fungus 

 spores before they can germinate and send their suckers into the
