varies from about 1 per cent in young sprouts, to 13 per cent, rarely 

 exceeding 9 per cent. The method of making the extract is described, 

 and compositions of various extracts are given. Oakw^ood extract, 

 which is different from oakbark extract, is very similar to chestnut 

 wood extract, and gives about the same results. It is generally used 

 in combination with chestnut, quebracho, or spruce extract.

On the average the bodies of automotive ve- 



Use of Wood hides are estimated to require 125 board feet of 



in the rough lumber per machine. The estimated total 



Automotive consumption for 1920 is thus 380,125,000 board 



Industry feet. Allowing for additional consumption in 



wheels, the quantity becomes 500,000,000 board 



feet. An additional amount is used in crating of about 35,000,000 board 



feet. The woods usually used in body making are hard maple, soft 



maple, ash, oak, elm, beech, birch, sycamore, gum, poplar, cottonwood, 



basswood and yellow pine. Grades of No. 1 and No. 2 common are 



ordinarily used. J. K., Jr.

At its annual meeting in August, 1920, the 



Uxportation Forestry Society of Franche-Gomte and Belfort 



of Firewood adopted a resolution asking the Government to 



and Charcoal remove the prohibition on exports of firewood 



and charcoal because of the fact that in eastern 



France available supplies of these were considerably in excess of local 



needs. The Assistant Secretary of Agriculture replied that while it 



was impossible to alter present restrictions immediately because of the 



great need of France for fuel of all sorts, he would do what he could 



to find a market for firewood and charcoal from this region, and that 



where production remained in excess of consumption he was inclined 



to look favorably upon permitting such exports of these materials as 



might appear justified. S. T. D.
