Preservative Treatment of Wood Proves Efficient

'"As a result of preservative treatment Of crossties the railroads of the country are getting along with fewer ties per mile of track than in years past, despite the increased traffic," George M. Hunt recently told the research conference at the Forest Products Laboratory.

Statistics show, Mr. Hunt said, that the life of ties treated with preservetives has been so greatly extended that the number used per mile by the principal railroads decreased f.rom 235 in 1905 to 182 1n 1927. "The average life of a crosstie may be extended two to ten times its natural life," Mr. Hunt added, "depending on the kind of wood and the method of treatment." Much of the improvement in preservative treatment of wood is the result of studies made at the laboratory in recent vears.

Now that the effectiveness of pieservative treatment of ties is being realized, the laboratory intends to study the needs of other wood-consuming industries in preventing decay. Auto bodies are frequently seriously damaged by decay; window frames and sash also give trouble in this connection; household refrigerators and refrigerator cars suffer from decay, and there is a growing demand for treated lumber in various forms that may be purchased at the retail lumber yard. Each product piesents a special treating problem, which will receive the attention of the laboratory experts in future studies in the wood preservation field.
