cutter blocks. Two-thirds of the sugar maple used in the 
industry is home-grown. 
White oak is needed for the framework of articles such as 
hay presses and hay racks, and as beams for handles. Ash 
takes its place in the handle parts of cultivators and along with 
oak in plow beams, plow handles, and tanks of the heavier 
farm machinery. Many of the woods, such as spruce, bass- 
wood, beech, white pine, hemlock, and yellow poplar, have no 
special qualifications for a particular use in the industry but 
are used indiscriminately for all kinds of framework. 
Red gum is imported in large quantities and finds use 
mainly as box material in threshing machines and other smaller 
articles. 
Hickory is used for maul and hay fork handles and for 
repair work of vehicles, especially the replacing of spokes. 
A small amount is used for rods connected with threshing
