526 USES KNOWN FOK BASSWOOD 



Have you ever noticed the white, clean 

 a|)i)earance of the wood used for butter 

 and candy pails and for th boxes in which 

 comb honey is sold? It's basswood, one of 

 the few species in the world that combines 

 with its white color and light weight the 

 qualities of being odorless and tasteless. 



Over 525 unique uses for which bass- 

 wood is highly prized are. enumerated in 

 Department Bulletin 1007, Utilization of 

 Basswood, a professional paper just issued 

 by the United States Department of Agri- 

 culture and written by Warren D. Brush 

 of the Forest Service, 



Basswood is used for agricultural imple- 

 ments, shoe trees and lasts, bo.xes and 

 crates, caskets, barrel staves, excelsior, fur- 

 niture, handles for tools, interior finish, 

 musical instruments, kitchen woodenware, 

 laundry appliances, refrigerators, bobbins 

 and spools, toys, trunks, veneer, pulpwood, 

 and lumber. 



In New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, 

 where basswood was formerly abundant, 

 the, supply is now very scarce due to the 

 heavy demands of local wood-working in- 

 dustries. The Great Lakes and Southern 

 Appalachian regions are now the main 

 sources of supply. Wisconsin and Michi- 

 gan have furnished the largest quantities 

 for the last 20 years. During the last 12 

 years the quantity used has diminished 

 nearly 50 per cent and it's yearly consump- 

 tion does not exceed 250,000,000 board feet. 



The total available stand is estimated at 

 90,000,000,000 board feet. 



In addition to discussing the various 

 uses of the wood, the bulletin treats of its 

 distribution, properties, and marketing.

SUMMARIZES FORESTRY LAWS 



Numerous states are now turning out 

 forestry legislation so rapidly that it is 

 impossible for the public to keep pace with 

 the work along this line, says the Forest 

 Service, United States Department of Agri- 

 culture. 



In addition to covering new ground, the 

 states are effecting radical and far-reaching 

 changes in former laws, and the need for 

 a handbook on this subject is making itself 

 felt in the form of requests for informa- 

 tion. Such a handbook has just been issued 

 by the Forest Service entitled "State For- 

 estry Laws of 1921." It is arranged as a 

 ready reference manual for the use both 

 of the general public and of the many in- 

 dustries that are vitally interested in exist- 

 ing forestry laws. 



This publication, states the. Forest 

 Service, will serve the public in gathering 

 up the sum and substance of recent legis- 

 lation and measuring it against certain 

 basic principles which are becoming more 

 and more generally recognized as essential 

 to such legislation.
