ACKNOWLEDGMENT 



This biillc'tiii is bascil upon dntu aiul iiifoniiation compiled 

 by The Xew York State College of Forestry at Syracuse 

 University in co-operation with the Forest Service of 

 the United States Department of Agricultnre at Washington, 

 I). C. The data were pnblished in the volume entitled 

 '' Wood Using- Industries of New York," by John T. Harris, 

 as No. 2 of Series 14 of the regulai' publications of The 

 New York State College of Forestry. The work was done 

 under the direction of Dr. Hugh P. Baker, Dean of the 

 College of Forestry, and O. T. Swan, in charge of industrial 

 investigations, United States Forest Service. 



Ever since this publication was issued in 1J)18, the need 

 has been felt for a smaller, condensed volume, re-arranged in 

 such shape that the ordinary producer and consumer of 

 forest products of New York could make use of it to better 

 advantage. The New Y^ork State College of Forestry does 

 not claim any originality in a large part of the material for 

 this bulletin, but its rearrangement, corrections, and added 

 data as the results of its investigations over the State during 

 the past three years are based entirely upon the work of the 

 Department of Forest Utilization in the State College of 

 Forestry at Syracuse. The original data were compiled as a 

 result of personal investigation carried on by Mr. John T. 

 Harris of the United States Forest Service, Professor Nelson 

 C. Brown and Professor Edward F. McC^arthy of The New 

 York State College of Forestry at Syracuse. 



During the ]iast three years considerable data have been 

 compiled, many corrections have been entered, much of the 

 original text has been omitted, and in its place has been 

 inserted material descriptive of the particular work being 

 done by the Department of Forest Utilization of The New 

 Y^ork State College of Forestry.
