Otto Hartwig, Trade Extension Department of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, Seattle, Wash., was the first speaker at the afternoon session. His talk featured the experience of a lumber firm in Eugene, Ore., which- sent salesmen into the surrounding country to discuss with the farmers their building problems and needs. The salesmen were able to give the owner many practical suggestions in his particular building problems which resulted in a more extensive use of lumber and better equipped farms.

A. C. Horner discussed the Phoenix building code and he urged the lumbermen there to take an active interest and offer aid for the revision of the code to the extent that it will benefit the public through increased service and aid the dealer through proper building regulations.

The lumbermen adopted a resolution favoring an "ample tariff" on copper.
