been more a factory grade than a yard grade, and the change made places it in the classification which the use of the lumber indicates to be the proper one.

No immediate change in the grade of I and 2 Clear will be made, though consideration is being given to describing this grade on a cutting basis, rath,er than on a defect basis, as it is described at the present time. This now gives the Association five grades of factory lumber, or, if the grade of box is considered in this classification, a total of six grades, as follows:

No. land2Clear.

No. 3 Clear, No. I Shop, No.2 Shop, No. 3 Shop, Box.

As the grades are now written the rules present some points of similarity with the hardwood grading rules. For example the present grade of First and Seconds hardwood is made on a basis of a certain number of allowable defects, while the grades ol l, 2, and 3 Common are made on a basis of the percentage. of clear face or sound cuttings obtainable. The California Pine Association grades for factory lumber will be similar in that the grade of. I and 2 Clear is made on a defect basis, while the balance of the grades are made on the basis of the cutting content of each piece. There, however, the similarity ceases, because the Pine factory grades are made on the very definite basis of cuttings suitable for use in the manufacture of doors, and the size of the cuttings is definitely prescribed. The smallest cutting is in excess of the largest size prescribed in the hardwood grading rules. Inasmuch as both sets of grades are intended for cutting-up purposes, it is thought probable that a cutting basis would be better as a means of describing the highest grades for both the softwood factory and hardwood lumber as well as the common grades.

The specific grade description for the new grade of B Select and Better has not vet been formulated. It will follow generally, the proposed basic grade of B, which is based on the old northern White Pine grade of B Select. It will be made primarily as a finishing grade, with the greater emphasis placed on the face side, whereas, in the grade of L and.2 Clear, nearly as much attention was given to the reverse side as to the face.

This change in the grading rules will have verylittle effect on present practice at mills in the California White & Sugar Pine Manufacturers Association. The majority of mills in this Association cut all upper grades of lumber in random widths. Because of the large size of the logs, these widths run wide, in fact, shipments from a majority of the mills in the region average 14" in widthfor practically any grade above box. This type of lumber is not particularly fitted to the retail yard, which sells principally stock sizes for use in house construction. Furthermore, many of these mills cut lumber in thicknesses exceeding 1". Here again the stock departs from the ordinary yard usage, in that the bulk of the finishing and common lumber, outside of the framing material, that is used in a housel is of l" thickness.While these mills sell a considerable quantity of their product to retail yards, the sale is principally to those yards operating planing mills or catering to an industrial trade. In both cases, the material is cut up for re-manufacture into wooden articles. These mills will continue to employ the grade of 1 and 2 Clear, principally. Some mills in the Association, ho$'ever, now sort out stock rvidths of Select lumber. and sell it surfaced either two or four sides, to the retail trade, for use as finishing lumber. This stock is usually in 1" thickness and in widths of less than t2". The yard grade of B Select and Better will be applied to this class of stock at these mills. They will, however, apply the grade of I and 2 Clear in making shipments of random widths.

From the standpoint of the use of the lumber, there will

It is believed, however, that the ultimate working out of the present change will result in bringing these grades more closely into line with the proposed national standards.

Better Windows At Less Cost

J. A. canahl

The manufacturers of the "No-weight" Window Spring, have met with a gratifying success, in the response by the lumber dealers of the state to their popularizing efforts on their product.

Mt. J. A.
