BURN SAWDUST BRICKS 



C AWDUST bricks for fuel are just now 

 receiving close attention at the Forest 

 Products Laboratory of the State Uni- 

 versity. The shortage of coal problem, 

 which threatens to inflict itself upon the 

 country next winter, has caused a revival 

 of interest in the possibilities of success- 

 fully briquetting sawdust and shavings so 

 they will compete commercially with other 

 fuels, and thus aid in the relief work which 

 may become necessary. 



In the past such processes have been suc- 

 cessful so far as heating qualities were 

 concerned, but have been rather too ex- 

 pensive, so that there is no established 

 industry of the sort in the United States 

 at the present time. 



The usual method of compressing saw- 

 dust into briquettes is by the aid of pitch 

 or tar as a binder in suitable machines. 

 At one time machines were used in the 

 West, in which, instead of a pitch binder, 

 string was wrapped around the briquette, 

 and held the sawdust in shape until it was 

 used for fuel. 



PROCLAMATIONS have been issued 

 by Governor Withycombe, of Oregon, 

 and Governor Lister, of Washington, call- ' 

 ing attention to the great fire danger, 

 and warning campers and other forest 

 users to be especially careful in the use of 

 fire. Posters bearing the proclamations 

 have been printed and sent to the Super- | 

 visors for posting. Two slogans have been 

 placed on the posters, printed in red : "All 

 campers should carry shovels" and "Patri- 

 otic people prevent forest fires."
