C. L. Hill, in charge of the of;fice of Products, at the U. S. Forest Service office at San Francisco rep'orts that the air drying experiments rn the Redwood region are progressing rapidly. The experiment at the Union Lumber Co. at Fort Bragg has been .completed; the men are now at the Albion Lumber Co. mill and as soon as the work is completed there they will go to the Little River Redwood mill.

The work this year is confined tol sticker heights and the spacing of boards. Six piles of lumber have been erected, and periodical examinations of sample boards in the different piles will be made to determine the mois'ture contents and to find out under wlhich c'onditions theldrying is most favorable. Owing to the various, factors that will have to be considered, it will probably take five years to ,complete this experiment.

Next spring the same experiment will be started with Pine at the Fruit Gr'owers' Supply and Lassen Lumber & Box Companies at Susanville, Pelican Bay Lumber Co. at Klamath Falls, Madera Sugar Pine Co. at Madera, and tl,e Standarcl Lumber Co. at Standard Citr'.
