 page 58, that the average prices of $24.15, $25.28, $35.28, 

 $28.02, and $28.84 per thousand board fee!; respectively are 

 paid for this sj)ecies in each of these industries. Xext he 

 looks up the various wood-using industries in Chautauqua 

 county and finds listed alphabetically the various industries 

 which the table indicates i)ay the best prices for his hard 

 maple. He corresponds with these various parties and obtains 

 the best prices. If sufficient users of the various woods are 

 not obtainable in the local county, it is suggested that full 

 correspondence be directed to firms in neighboring counties 

 so that one can get the broadest available market for his 

 product. 



In case the owner of forest products is not successful in 

 his search by mail, it is suggested that he take the matter up 

 directly with the Department of Forest Utilization of The 

 New York State College of Forestry. 



Another example is shown as follows. A woodlot owner in 

 Putnam county finds that his chestnut is rapidly dying off, 

 due to the chestnut bark disease. He finds, on looking up the 

 chestnut table on page 60, that this wood is chiefly used 

 for dairymen's, poulterers' and apiarists' supplies, sash 

 doors and blinds, furniture, caskets and coffins, planing mill 

 products and boxes and crating, and that average prices of 

 $31.66, $36.17, $23.00, $24.12, $31.07 and $17.^40 are paid 

 respectively in these industries. He refers to the directory of 

 wood-using industries, beginning on page 95, and finds the 

 names and addresses of concerns with whom to correspond. 

 If his chestnut is large, sound and of good quality, and 

 situated near a railroad or haul-road he may expect good 

 average prices. Through correspondence, the owner may get 

 better prices by having it sawed to order by a portable mill 

 or by delivering it in the log. 



If a wood-using factory has considerable waste of a given 

 species, a profitable market may be secured by looking up 

 in this report the na.nes of companies manufacturing toys, 

 brush backs, novelties, spools or any of the many small 

 wooden articles for which this particular wood may be used.
