growth this stand had produced in excess 

 of 100,000 board feet per acre. A truly re- 

 markable growth and indicative of the 

 important role redwood lands, if properly 

 managed, can play in quickly producing a 

 large volume of timber. In order that 

 maximum production may be realized two 

 things are imperative ; a fully stocked 

 stand and protection of the young growth 

 from fire. The planting experiments may 

 help to solve the question of how to get a 

 fully stocked stand, the fire protection can 

 come only through concerted action on the 

 part of land owners in cooperation with the 

 state fire protection service. 



"MARVELS OF SCIENCE" 



Since forestry took on the habiliments 

 of a science and engineers, chemists, and 

 technicians began investigating forestry 

 problems, such as the growth and protection 

 of the forests, the harvesting of forest 

 crops and the utilization of wood there- 

 from, many discoveries have been made 

 that would seem almost without the pale 

 of possibility, according to a bulletin of the 

 New York State College of Forestry. 



One of the scientific developments that 

 may have an important bearing on the 

 supply of automotive fuel of the future is 

 the production of ethyl or grain alcohol 

 from wood. Grain alcohol mig'ht be em- 

 ployed as a substitute for gasoline, provided 

 it can be produced cheaply and engines 

 adapted to its use but the practical appli- 

 cation of this product like many other 

 utilities that had their inception in the 

 laboratory, must finally depend for its com- 

 mercial development upon mechanical in- 

 genuity and capital. 



Sawdust can be converted into good fod- 

 der for cattle and farm stock. Other 

 products of surprising variety and character 

 are obtained either wholly or partially from 

 wood, such as smokeless powder, linoleum, 

 artificial silk, paint, varnish, soap, ink, 

 celluloid, sausage casing, acetylene, chloro- 

 form, iodoform and many kinds of dyes 

 and oils. 



A new field has opened in scientific re- 

 search with regard to the forests and their 

 products. The results achieved in the last 

 ten years would seem to indicate future 

 developments that now are unimaginable. 

 In fact, we can but dimly vision the infinite 

 possibilities that lie ahead of scientific in- 

 vestigation in forest and wood problems. 

 The time may come when wood will be 

 more generally in demand for chemical 

 purposes than for building material. 



Many substitutes have been discovered 

 for wood but the new uses have more than 

 kept pace with the development of substi- 

 tutes. What today is a dream will tomor- 

 row be a reality. It would be rash, indeed, 

 to prophesy how far scientists mayi go in 

 working out new uses for wood and new 

 methods of utilizing wood.
