RKVIliW, OF LUMBER INDUSTRY xXFFAIRS 259 



Milling waste was 41.7 for red oak and 29.9 for white oak. 

 The report is published in the lumber trade journals and not as an 

 official bulletin or circular, presumably in the hope of being made more 

 easily available to those in a position to use it. Field-work seems to 

 have been finished in February, 19 16, the report being published in 

 October, 191 8. 



As a technical performance, the study seems to leave but little to be 

 desired ; but one may wonder as to the point of view of a lumberman 

 trying to apply its results to his business. It would be interesting to 

 know the cost of such a study, and a carefully executed inquiry as to 

 the specific uses made of the report might be profitably considered by 

 the laboratory (American Liiuihcnnan, October 12, 1918).
