NOEWAY PINE IN THE LAKE STATES. 9 



STRENGTH. 



Norway pine is stronger than white pine, but weaker than long- 

 leaf. Grade for grade, it is not quite as strong as tamarack, but 

 experiments by the Forest Service showed thoroughly seasoned 

 Norway pine to be slightly stronger and stifTer, when the seasoning 

 checks in tamarack were considered. The results of the strength 

 tests are given in Table 1 .
