NOin'vAY 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 stiffer, when the seasoning 
checks in tamarack were considered. The results of the strength 
tests are given in Table 1.
