Stock Feed from Wood Waste
May Be Available to Growers
(Editor's note: Tfcll Is tk Mcosti of
frw. ttarlct a boot the itatc forest pro
SacU laboratory at CervallU.)
By Paul W. Harvey Jr.
. CORVAIXIS, May 10 f(p)-Ore-ron
livestock growers soon may be
feeding their livestock on molas
ses produced from wood- waste.
And it Is as good as cane molasses,
i. The forest "products laboratory
here says thi is its favorite recipe
for molasses:
' ' Take some ground-up wood,
j and heat it with sulfuric acid. Add
r .yeast and you have a weak beer.
; Then distill the beer and you have
i alcohol. One of your-byproducts
I "win be molasses. ;
; It takes. a ton of wood to pro-'
; iduce a ton of molasses, which is
j half sugar and half water. This
i won't be economical if you're just
1 going to make molasses, because
' your molasses will cost too much.
But it can be done if you're ex
tracting some of the other pro-;
ducts from bark and wood waste
rat the same time. )
Probe Fungus Infection
!' Another important project of
the laboratory is dealing , with
fungus- -infected .lumber, "which
now is passed up by the loggers.
I It has conducted teits to deter
: mine that trees full of holes caus
ed by fungus are 45 to 95 per cent
j as strong as clear lumber.
The laboratory is finding uses
-f,or the fungus-infected wood. The
j stuff is pretty, and can be used
for decorative walls. And glued
'Into panels, it's plenty strong.
: The laboratory found it could
make high grade charcoal, but It
i stopped this project because, an
expected charcoal shortage never
-developed, P. B. Proctor, techni
: , cal director of the laboratory, aays
i they found out how to make gas-;oline-from
this charcoal. But it
isn't economical, because it would
i.take all the good waste in the
nnorthwest just to keep two small
i synthetic gasoline plants going.
jPlaner Shavings Used
t A tough fibre board, with a
ieore made -of planer shavings
ijand covered with veneer, is an
other product of the laboratory's
1 research. ,
if It is studying proper seasoning
of lumber as well as plywood and
lithe glue that holds it together.
! It is making a study for the fed
eral forest service to find out the
' strength of second growth Port
l Orford cedar.
And the laboratory even has
;some farmers. Post farmers, that
Is. The post farm, 75 feet by 300
. feet, contains 2,000 fence posts.
The purpose is to learn what kind
; of wood makes the best fence
posts, and how to treat them to
get the longest life. i
i Pilot Plant for Tests
! There is a miniature industrial
plant to test how woods can be
: preserved, and what chemicals
i preserve them best.
Another important project is to
find ways to use Oregon-grown
Miardwoods for flooring. They
make beautiful floors.
! The laboratory has a project,
which might take 25 years, to find
out what kinds of wood can be
used for railroad ties. This proj-
I ect was requested by the South
: : ern Pacific railroad, which now
uses Douglas, fir ties. It wants to
' know about other kinds of wood
in case we get into war and all
the Douglas fir ii required for war
purposes. . - i
One project is to show the far
mer how he can save money by
r using lower grade lumberVThere's
i rto use, Proctor says, in a farmer
building a hog house out of No. I
, grade lumber. ,

the project to give them a fixed
method of determining which
trees are 1 good inside, and thus
should be cut
Other things being studied at
the laboratory include use of bark
for insulating buildings, making
cork from bark, finding more
chemicals in bark, using bark for
conditioning the soil, making
sawmill studies to recover defec
tive logs, and making economic
surveys of sawmill communities.
The laboratory is responsible to
an advisory committee.. Members
of the committee include Gov.
Douglas McKay, state forester
George Spaur; the dean of the
OSC forestry school. Dr. Paul M.
Dunn; representatives of the lum
ber and . plywood industries and
of the U.S. forest service.
Of the 5-cent-per-l.OOO-foot tax
on timber, the laboratory gets 80
per cent, and the state forestry
department's research program
gets the other 40 per cent.

;;Mft 'jiy- Flasln Flood
By The Associated Press I . ..
Flash floods hit southeast Nebraska a devastating blow Monday
night and Tuesday, engulfing homes and sweeping a bus and several
cars from the highways like puny toys. Fifteen persons were dead
or missing. ( I
One car brushed from the high
way by a rolling wave of water
near Auburn, Neb., carried four
persons. Hours later Sheriff Carl
Ryder of Nebraska City said; he
had given up all hope that any
survived. Two small children were
swept away from their parents
and drowned near Dunbar, Neb.
Bas Swept Away j .
One of the dead and three of the
missing were among seven passen
gers on a Burlington Trailways
bus, bound from Nebraska City to
Lincoln. Another passenger, a
nurse, survived by clinging nine
hours to a floating tree trunk. Two
others also were saved after an
eight foot wall of water hit the
bus.
To the north, the4 rampaging
Red River drove thousands of per
sons from their homes in the
United States and Canada. Contin
ued rains added to the periL Ar
mr authorities urged mass evacu
ation of residents of low lying
areas in Winnipeg, Canada. v
In southern Manitoba, 2 0 0
square miles are under water,
More than, 15,000 have fled from
ineir nomes. "
Communities Isolated
Several communities in eastern
North Dakota and western Minne
sota were isolated by the flood
waters. Thousands ' again were
routed from homes which had just
been newly refurbished after the
Red River Valley's worst flood In
50 years.
Torrential rains of six inches or
more brought on the flash floods
in southeast Nebraska Most of the
missing were motorists whose cars
were engulfed. Damage to farms
and property were described as
heavy.
The downpour turned river and
streams into raging torrents from
Auburn. Neb- to Lincoln. Neb
Lincoln hsfflP its worst flood since
1908. It hit only a few! hours af
ter President Truman's special
train passed through.

Industry Plan
For Western ,
Europe Aired
LONDON, May MAVDisclosure
of a French plan to merge Europe's
heavy industries under. one head
coincided with secret Anglo-American
talks here today on how to
strengthen the west in the cold
war with Soviet Russia.
At the same time, the west Ger
man government at Bonn decided
to accept an invitation to Join the
council of Europe, the Embyro In
ternational parliament seated at
Strasbourg. s
The moves , from France and
Germany toward unifying western
Europe came as U. S. Secretary of
State Acheson conferred'here with
Prime Minister Attlee and Foreign
Secretarr Ernest Bevin.
Acheson arrived by plane from
Paris. He conferred with Bevin
through the morning, had lunch
eon with Prime Minister Attlee and
met again with Bevin this after
noon.
The afternoon session of Bevin
and Acheson had just ended when
French Foreign Minister Robert
Schuman made a proposal in Paris
to pool the German and French
steel and coal industries and in
vite other nations to join the com
bine. Schuman talked with Ache
son yesterday ! and undoubtedly
broached the proposal then.
The French move was the most
direct offer of collaboration with
Germany since 'the war. and the
most concert proposal so far to
ward the great economic unity
which the United States considers
necessary in western Europe.
Integration of west Germany in
to western Europe and the Atlan
tic nations grouping is given top
priority by American officials here.
