authorized a revised edition of the Trees 

 of Indiana. What was formerly Bulletin 

 No. 3 of the Division of Forestry is now 

 published as Publication No. 13, of the 

 Department. The reader's attention is 

 called to a new departure in illustrations, 

 which were made from photographic re- 

 productions of specimens in Mr. Dcains 

 herbarium. The photographs were taken 

 by Mr. Harry F. Dictz of the Division of 

 Entomology. It is believed that it will 

 be gratefully received by the public and 

 will stimulate an interest in forestry that 

 should achieve practical results." 



A most interesting and valuable addres 

 on the Utilization of Hardwood Waste was 

 delivered by Mr. L. Wallis Gibbons to the 

 Appalachian Logging Congress when in 

 session in Cincinnati. Mr. Wallis drives 

 home in a very convincing inanner prac- 

 tical facts about practical values in the 

 elimination of waste as an economic fac- 

 tor, touching on the work of the Forest 

 Products Laboratory and referring to the 

 annual fuel increment, fuel gas produced 

 from wood, the enormous amounts in- 

 volved in lumber wastes, the products of 

 hardwood distillation, varieties, and the 

 uses and possibilities of tar and wood 

 waste to preserve wood. 



OHIO FORESTRY LAWS 



The three Silver bills, fathered by Rep- 

 resentative Silver, of Preble county, to car- 

 ry out the program of reforestation and 

 preservation of the present forests in the 

 Buckeye State, were signed by Gov. Harry 

 L. Davis and will becotne effective about 

 August 15, thus allowing 90 days in which 

 to file referendum petitions. The three 

 bills, often styled the Silver triplets, pro- 

 vide for an appropriation of $50,000 for the 

 purchase of waste land, $10,000 for fire pro- 

 tection, and $10,C00 for a State nursery. 

 This is the program of the Ohio Forestry 

 .Association. A State forester is to be 

 named and it is believed that the preseiK 

 incumbent at Wooster Experiment Station. 

 Edmund Secrest, will be appointed.

PULPWOOD FROM ALASKA 

 The time seems to be ripe for the exten- 

 sive exploitation of Alaskan pulpwood, in 

 the opinion of the Forest Service, United 

 States Department of Agriculture. In De- 

 partment Bulletin 950, entitled Regional 

 Development of Pulpwood Resources of 

 the Tongass National Forest, the success- 

 ful operation of pulp and paper mil's in 

 near-by British Columbia, which has prac- 

 tically similar timber and power resources 

 and comparable transportation facilities, is 

 pointed to as removing the speculative 

 element from the proposed development. 

 The demand for paper, it is said, has in- 

 creased to such an extent that it has be- 

 come possible for well-organized and ade- 

 quately financed coiupanies to operate 

 pulp and paper mills on an extensive scale, 

 particularly for making newsprint. All 

 indications point to a continuance of the 

 demand at prices that should luake pos- 

 sible profitable operations in Alaska. New 

 sources are imperatively required, it is 

 said, for the supply of raw pulpwood. 



The Department of Agriculture believes 

 that the development of the forest and 

 water-power resources of .\laska is a prac- 

 ticable means of increasing the supplies of 

 newsprint available for the United States 

 and of eventually lessening the paper 

 shortage now so acute. The National For- 

 ests of Alaska probably contain, it is es- 

 timated, 100,000.000 cords of timber suit- 

 able for the manufacture of newsprint 

 and other grades of paper. Under careful 

 manageiTient these forests can produce 

 2,000,000 cords of pulpwood annually for 

 all time, or enough to manufacture one 

 third of the pulp products now consumed 

 in the United States. 



BUYING PULPWOOD BY WEIGHT 



'YT/'ORK done at the Forest Products 

 Laboratory, in co-operation with the 

 Newsprint Service Bureau, to obtain data 

 on buying and using pulpwocj on the 

 weight basis indicates that such procedure 

 would be very desirable. If such a thing 

 proves possible the uncertainty as to the 

 actual solid cubical content of the present 

 cord would be eliminated and allowing 

 for the percentage rot in wood by scaling 

 would partly be dona away with. Buy- 

 ing pulpwood on the weight basis has the 

 further desirable features that the indus- 

 try could establish a sensible and rational 

 cost accounting system and it will also be 

 a decided stimulus to a more thorough tech- 

 nical control of all of the mill operations. 

 The disadvantages, however, are that the 

 seller of wood will have to be educated to 

 this method of purchase, and at the pres- 

 ent time since there is an actual shortage 

 of pulpwood the mills will have to pur- 

 chase according to the method desired.
