How Lumber is Graded

Washington.-The United States Forest Service Bulletin on "How Lumber is Graded" is, according to Arthur T. Upson, Manager of American Forest Products Industries, an admirable illustration of helpful governmental service to industry and to the Government itself.

The booklet was written by H. S. Betts, Senior Eng:ineer, and R. K. Helphenstine, Jr., Associate Forest Products Statistician of the Brbnch of Research of the Forest Service.

The introduction explains that the purchase of lumber by the Government has been complicated by the number of species of wood involved, by the number of diversified uses of wood, and by the complexity and number of grading rules. It is impossible for all of those who act as purchasing agents to give detailed study to these rules. Consequently the Forest Service has thought it well to publish this summary of hardwood lurnber and softwood lumber grading as practiced by the principal lumber associations. Admittedly lumber grading, 35 to 4O different commercial species being involved, can be classed as complex, but that is no reason, in Mr. IJpson's opinion, why the general subject cannot be clarified. Proof that it can is the splendid job done by Betts and Helphenstine in this bulletin. It simplifies the processes in grading, and then gives the Federal Purchasing Agent the result in terms of what he should specify and buy in the various woods for his purposes.

Recognizing the cooperation the Forest Service had from the lumber manufacturers associations. T. T. Craven. Chief Coordinator of the Federal Coordinating Service, says in the introduction, that the circular is a splendid example of cooperation between the Government and the lumber industry to the distinct benefit of both. and he adds that it has the backing of both the Federal Government and the principal lumber associations.

Circular No. 64 is supported by a supplement under
