Oxholm Prophesies More Dry Kilns

Under date of September 25, Washington, D. C., Mr. Alex H. Oxholm, director of the National Committee on Wood Utilization of the Department of Commerce, after spending two months surveying conditions in the West, is quoted as follows:

"It is realized by nearly all progressive sawmill operators on the Pacific Coast that kiln drying of lumber, even of the common grades, must and will come, the sooner the better," says Mr. Oxholm. "One prosperous year on the Pacific Coast would be all that would be required to insure the installation of many kilns."

Mr. Oxholm has long been an advocate of kiln drying the entire mill cut for domestic and foreign shipments.
