Named Head of OPM Lumber Section Black Walnut Yields Hishest Priced Timber

Washington, July l-Reorganization within the OPM has resulted in some new appointments to the Lumber and Timber Products Section and will probably result in the establishment of a new Industry Advisory Committee to fit the OPM's altered policy in connection with industry committees in general.

The Lumber and Timber Products Section, which is now under the Purchases Division of the OPM, directed by Donald Nelson, will be headed by John Foley, of Philadelphia, Forester of the Pennsylvania Railroad, who will take charge on July 1. His associates will be James M. Alexander, refrigerator manufacturer of Chattanooga, Tennessee, and L. W. Smith, former N.L.M.A. staff member.

The new Lumber Section will handle all questions concerning lumber and timber products, despite its location in the Division of Purchases. Such questions may concern purchases, production and priorities. The assignment of the Lumber Section to the Purchases Division in place of the Production Division under John M. Biggers results from the conclusion that predominant defense problems relating to lumber and timber products are likely to be purchasing rather than production or priorities.

It is not yet possible to secure much detailed information concerning the formation of a new Defense Advisory Committee.

Kimsul Ingulation Comes to the \(/est Coast

(Continued from Page 10) throughout the house. Cold ceilings and cold walls create cold drafts, and cold spots that cannot be offset by turning the furnace up or turning the furnace down. The old adage that "They pushed the damper in, and they pulled the .damper out, but the smoke went up the chimney just the .same," strictly refers to a house that is not insulated, as in .such a house it can be too hot in one spot and too cold in another and impossible to be comfortable throughout the 'house.

Dealers will welcome the addition of Kimsul to their line .as it is a product they can sell profitably and at the same time build repeating business. It is important not to overlook such unusual uses as trailer insulation, refrigerated trucks, cold storage rooms and boxes, air ducts and piping, .etc. Kimsul is a fine material for sound insulation. All of these will add to a growing volume of the dealer's business.

The George E. Ream Company have an Engineering Department under the charge of C. W. "Neil" Comegys. Neil is an expert on insulation and sound control and is always glad to answer any questions or help solve any technical or application problem a dealer encounters.

The native American black walnut continues to yield the highest priced timber in the United States, the U. S. Department of Agriculture reports in its annual summary by the Forest Service on stumpage and log prices. Black walnut logs brought an average of $86.21 per thousand board feet for all States, although one purchase at a price in excess of $200 was reported.

Average prices for all hardwoods, including black walnut in log sales reported, were $20.57, and for softwoods $13.30 per thousand board feet. Stumpage or standing timber sales averaged $2.48 for softwoods and $5.87 for hardwoods.

Prices of standing timber and logs as in previous years, the summary indicates, are higher as they are nearer to districts of largest wood products consumption. While Ponderosa pine, largely in virgin stands, was bringing an average of only $2.81 per thousand feet in the far West, northern white pine which was largely second growth, was bringing $4.57 in the Lake States and the Northeast. Similarly, the famous Douglas fir, largely in virgin stands also, brought $1.77, while shortleaf pine brought an average of $4.43 per thousand board feet of standing timber.

Cedars were the most expensive of the softwoods. Logs of Southern white cedar and eastern red cedar averaged about $35 per thousand board feet. Port Orford cedar logs sold at nearly $25, Alaska cedar at $20, and western red cedar at better than $16 per thousand feet.

Other high-priced softwoods included cypress at $18.29, western rvhite pine at $16.81, Norway spruce at $16.12, and eastern spruce at only a few cents less.

Next to walnut, the highest priced hardwood was the common rvhite-florvering dogwood, used for shuttles in the weaving industry because of its hardness and other special characteristics. Because of its general scarcity and slow growth, the price was $34 per thousand for the 40 thousand board feet reported.

Other log prices were: locust $29.62; basswood, $26.03; rock elm, $28.15; birch, ash and yellow poplar slightly more than $25, hard maple $24.83, butternut $22.10, and u,hite oak, cherry and hickory about $21 per thousand board feet.
