KILN DRYING COURSES AT 

 MADISON 

 Ignorance of the nature of kiln drying 

 defects and of the effects produced by 

 them in subsequent manufacturing opera- 

 tions is responsible for a great deal of loss 

 in lumber-producing and wood-using indus- 

 tries. Many plants are consistently taking 

 losses which they could easily avoid if they 

 only knew that these losses were unneces- 

 sary. 



This fact has been brought out most 

 forcibly at every one of the seventeen short 

 courses in kiln drying which have been 

 given by the Forest Products Laboratory. 

 The students frequently don't understand 

 the extent of their difficulties until they 

 have learned what results can be secured by 

 really good practice. 



There is great need for general educa- 

 tion upon this subject. The laboratory 

 makes every effort to carry on this educa- 

 tional work by means of advice given 

 through correspondence, consultation at the 

 laboratory, lectures, and publications. Sev- 

 eral thousand plants throughout the country 

 avail themselves of this service every year. 

 Once they understand what can be accom- 

 plished by up-to-date equipment and meth- 

 ods, the securing of the necessary detailed 

 knowledge is an easy step. 



It is to assist the manufacturer in tak- 

 ing this step that the short courses in kiln 

 drying are conducted. They are especially 

 adapted to the requirements of practical 

 men and the lectures are given in siinple 

 language which anyone can understand. 

 Experience has shown that the amount of 

 good each student secures from the 

 course depends wholly upon his own capa- 

 bilities. 



The dates for the next four courses are 

 August 15-16, September 12-23, October 10- 

 21, and November 7-18. Enrollments for 

 any of these courses may be made now. 

 The cooperative tuition fee of $150, which 

 is less than the actual cost of instruction, 

 may be paid at any time during the course. 

 Address Rolf Thelen, in charge section of 

 Timber Physics, Forest Products Laborato- 

 ry, Madison, Wisconsin. 



Edward F. McCarthy, first forester in 

 the faculty of the New York College of 

 Forestry at Syracuse, has been given an 

 important new position in the United States 

 Forest Service, being assigned to the new 

 forest experiment station being established 

 at Asheville, North Carolina. He will rank 

 next to the director of the station, one of 

 the old forest service officials, and the 

 taking of a man from outside the service 

 for- so important a position is somewhat 

 unusual.
