Wood Is Desirable Where Strenath Bending Quality and Ability to Withstand Shock Are Con cerned Takes Good Polish. (Prepared by tho United States Depart merit of Agriculture.) Kim timber growing In tho farm wood lot Is a valuable asset. Tho demand for elm Is Increasing, whllo the supply Is rapidly diminish Ing. It In estlmnted that the total stand of elm In the United .States Is approximately billion feet. This amount would furnish n supply for approximately 80 years at tho present rate of cutting, as tho nnnunl output of elm lumber is about 24,000,000 board feet, placing elm twelfth In rnnk among nil woods and tenth among hnrdwoods In point of lumber produo tlon. Kim wood Is dcslrnblo where strength, bending quality and ability to withstand shocks nro required. II Is, in general, heavy, hard and strong. Tho most Important use to which It Is put, according to tho bulletin, Is In tlio cooperage Industry, the amount credited to this use being moro than twice that of the next In Importance, which In In tho manufacture of has kets and crates. It Is estimated that 117,000,000 board feet aro used nnnu- ally In making cooperage stock or bur rels. Kim is used extensively In mnklng agricultural Implements ntid vehicles also. It Is useful In tho manufacture of wheels and bodies for nutomobllcs, nml tho rapid growth of this Industry tins brought about n considerable In crease In the demand fur elm. Its abil ity to take a good polish makes It do- slrnblo In tho manufacture of certain pieces of furniture, cabinet work nnd Interior trimmings. It Is n fairly dura bio wood, tho average untreated lum ber In situations exposed to weather lasting six to eight years. When prop erly treated with creosoto this period may ho lengthened to 20 or moro years.
