BLACK WALNUT NEEDED 



THE bureau of aircraft production of 

 the war department has announced that 

 there is an urgent necessity for the 

 immediate delivery of all the black walnut 

 wood it is possible to obtain. This wood 

 is desired for use in the making of air- 

 plane propellor blades and gun stocks. 



The bureau says that black walnut trees 

 are scattered throughout different parts of 

 the United States, growing in small groups, 

 and that in taking the necessary steps to 

 see that these trees are made available 

 to the Government, the owners of them 

 have an opportunity to demonstrate their 

 patriotism in a most practical and effective 

 way. 



A part only of the lumber from each 

 tree can be used, and the Government, 

 therefore, cannot buy the trees direct from 

 the owner. When the trees are sold to a 

 saw mill which has a Government contract 

 for lumber for propellor blades or gun 

 stocks, this wood will be sorted out and put 

 to the uses to which it is adapted. 



No trees which produce logs less than 

 12 inches in diameter can be cut, as they 

 do not yield material suitable for Govern- 

 ment use. 



It is desired by the bureau that anyone 

 having information on the subject of black 

 walnut trees get into touch with saw mill 

 concerns in their communities, which may 

 have Government contracts, or communi- 

 cate with the Ordnance Department, Pro- 

 duction Division, Small Arms Section, 

 Washington, D. C.
