Boards of this material were eont to two eastern 

 pencil companies for trial. It was found that it would 

 answer for the cheaper p^-odea of pencils, as it hafl a pjood 

 prain, stained \vell, and whittled ot-sily. It hr.s been 



'. at a pencil factory In San Leanflro for this purpose. 

 Lately it hrs been discovered that one of the lar^e 

 eastern pencil companies has been corralling the incense 

 cedar output of several mills. 



Incense cedar boards v:ere also tried out as a 

 nr box material. The essential oils thr.t it oontr.lns, 

 ron<*ero it unfil for this use, as clrars tre rendered 

 ^ when stored in those boxes.

 marine rood-borers.
