Western States Plywood's new
ring barker installation is about
85 |>er cent complete, according
to manager Larry Lindquist, and
at the current progres' .ate we
should be ready tor operation
the latter partof July. The bark
er is the m o 't recent major phase
in the in ill's modernization pro
gram ,following a chipper plant
installed February 8.
From the tim e rough logs are
dumped cm tile feed ramp, until
barked logs leave the lathe as
veneer, they w ill have traveled
several humlred feet and pasted
through tuch automatic «per»-
t l o n t at being semi-cleaned,
b a rke tlcu tto length and mount
ed oo the lathe « dumped in the
holding pond. At the same time,
useable bark andchips w ill have
been ground for fuel and fetl into
the power plant and waste bark
routed to a burner.
The backbone of the opera
tion is the N ickclton model A
ring barker capable of cleaning
the hide off logs up to live feet
in diameter, in a maimer sim ilar
to the way an a pp I e-peeler
works. In the event a log larger
than 60 inches reaches the plant,
the entire barker head is ele
vated and the log is p asse d
through and on to the m ill where
it it barked by the conventional
method.
Another necessary feature in
the "»fry-land" operation is tin-
new and huge Wagner loading
machine w i t h enough horse
power in its mammouthjaws to
li f t an entire load of logs from
a truck and carry it to the bark
er's feed ramp, (see photos)

jects,” Duncan said, "but al
though the re c o m m e n d e d
amount s till does not match
the real needs, this year’s ap
propriation request tiy the Com
mittee represents a significant
and appreciated s u rg e for
ward.”

the Committee In support of
4th D istrict projects, said, ” 1
am pleased that we were able to
hold every one of the projects
and activities to the full l>ud-
