Blemish But Not A Defect

Washington, D. C., August l8.-Blue Stain, in and of itself, is not a defect, says the Blue Stain Committee of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association. It is not an early stage of decay but merely an indication of the presence in the sapwood of a fungus which does not materially afiect the strength or durability of wood for ordinary commercial purposes. For purposes where lumber is to be covered up or painted, and where the use of sapwood is permissible, there is no reason for discriminating against blue stained lumber.

Blue stain is frequently accepted in rough lumber, lath scantling and plank and some of the larger sizes of dimension. More could well be used in the manufacture of sash, doors, millwork and other products where the discoloration is to be painted or otherwise hidden from view. By refusing to accept blued lumber for such purposes, lumber users are encouraging waste.

The lumber industry is anxious to do everything within its power to encourage a closer utilization of forest products but it must depend upon the users of lumber for a full measure of cooperation. By recognizing that blue stain affects lumber only in its appearance, and by accepting blue stained lumber for uses where appearance is not important or, when it is important, where it can be painted or stained, architects and builders will be doing their share to reduce one of the important present economic wastes in lumber distribution.

Fire In California Pine Region

In "Fire and the Forest," just issued as Department Circular 358, S. B. Show and E. I. Kotok of the Forest Service, United States Department of Agriculture, have presented for popular reading the outstanding facts regarding the effects of fire in the California pine region.

The new circular tells a convincing story in picture and text of the cumulative nature of fire damage in this region, often scarcely perceptible in connection with any one fire, but in the aggregate wearing away virgin stands of timber, second growth stands, cut-over areas, and all potential forest land to an alarming degree.

"Not only is the quantity of wood in the forest persistently reduced by fire," say the authors, "but the quality of the forest suffers as well. Already the long-continued burning. of the forests has reduced many stands below the point where profitable lumbering is possible."

The practice of Itlight-burning" the forests with the intent to reduce fire hazard is discussed at some length in this circular, as is also the menace of the great brushfield areas of California, which, if they could be fully stocked with mature forests, would, it is stated, supply the timber needs of the whole country for a year and more. Copies of Circular 358 may be obtained on request to the District Forester, San Francisco, Calif., or the Forest Service, United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C.
