turns and glues well and takes a high
polish. Specific uses are for archery
bows, broom handles, columns, furni
ture, interior work, pack saddles, pul
leys, tunery.
These several species constitute the
most frequently used hardwoods of
the state. The main difficulty in the
way of greater exploitations is the
fact that the supply of raw material
is not available in large pure stands.
but scattered along the rivers and
bottoms. On the other hand, because
it occurs in this manner, it offers an
excellent opportunity for the farmer
or the small operator to produce a
merchantable product at a price that
assists the land-clearing problem.
The market for these hardwoods has
been developed and it is a question
of supplying them by the small op
erator. This territory is in need of all kinds
of panel stock. Veneered oak or alder
panels or cores, could be furnished
the local industries at a lower figure
than the eastern oak panels with pop
lar or Cottonwood cores. Alder is
readily turned, and it makes good
clothes pins, but now no plant in this
country is making alder pins for the
local market. The center of the
American toy industry is Pennsyl -vania.
The wood consumed in this
line of endeavor approximates 29,000,
000 feet annually: maple, birch, pop
lar, cottonwood, are most commonly
used.
