The latest unmber of the Scientific
.Vmerican contains the tollowittg in rela
tion to the grading of lumber, and it 1
worth the reading by many interested
people hereabouts:
"A subject of increasing importance to
every lumber producer and consumer is
that of grades. That these grade

well recognized, anil many effort to ar
rive at some general rules have been '
made. In view of these movements to
standardize grades, the Forest Servitv
has undertaken to bring together tlie
specifications of the various IhiiiUt and
manufacturers associations and to put
them in such a form that they may !
compared.
"Tlie object of the study is not to de
vise a sytin of standard grades, but to
make simply such a compilation of the
grades now in use as will V of service
to lumber producers and conmi!vrs.
though it is hoped that a great deal of
information may lie accumulated that
will be of value in eventually preparing
the way for a standard system.
"It is planned to get the views of
those concerned partly by interviews
and largely by correspondence. A rep
resentative of the Forest S-rvice will
endeavour to visit the secretaries and
and members of grading bureaus of vari
ous associations and learn their views
in regard to the practical workings of
the various rules. A large number of
mill men and manufacturers will lie 1
reached by corrcondence and their view !
sought. It is especially desired to find
the iuiHrtant parts of difference in
grades from the view point of both
producer and eon-unier of lumlier, and
alo to ascertain the chief difficulties in
the way of devising and executing a
system of standard grades.
"The assistance of manufacturers and
consumers of lumber i earnest I v d

eerning it will be gladly received by the
