\food Waste Utilization Produces Revenue

The railways of the country are keenly interested in the movement to utilize the thousands of tons of recoverable wood waste annually being thrown away at the present time, according to John Foley of Philadelphia, Forester of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. The lvood industries now are following the example of other industries in turning their waste piles into profit, he stated.

Not only is wood ground into flour for certain uses, but even sawdust is used as raw material for a number of important products, such as composition materials, linoleum, explosives, insulation, and many others. Much of the sarvmill waste now is utilized by domestic pulp mills and turned into pulp and paper products.

While it is often impracticabie to haul sarvmill rvaste long distances, on account of its bulky nature, local byproducts industries with the sawmill as the center, are being established. Furthermore, close utilization of our timber resources, according to Mr. Foley, is the real foundation for commercial reforestation, a matter of great interest to the railways and the general public.

Mr. Foley, who is a member of the executive comn-rittee of the National Committde on Wood Utilization of the Department of Commerce, stated that the committee's work in making a detailed survey of wood rvaste of the Atlantic Coast states is of a constructive and practical nature.

"It is gratifying to learn that aclvantage is taken of this work and that increased employment and industrial activity have followed." he stated.

Chips from the Forest

Tiny wood beetles that act as "pa,ck horses" for fungi that injure timber is the latest discovery of Government scientists working in the national forests of the Pacific Coast States. It has been found that the micros,copi,c spores of the blue-stain fungus, which frequently attacks fire killed trees as well as lumber stacked in yards, atta,ch themselves to wood-boring beetles and are thus transported to other trees where they take root and start their destructive growth. ***

It was a Connecticut Yankee who first made wooden nutmegs, but it remained for an Oregonian to manufacture wooden nest eggs of western red cedar, and do a prosper_ ous business turning them out, reports the U. S. Forest Service. It is said the hens approved of them because they warm more easily than glass or porcelain and their odor is distasteful to vermin.
