"Furthermore, most of the
large lumber mills produce so
much more waste in excess of
the amount needed for power
that the waste burners are still
in use, involving not only the

of the waste is one of the great

dust and shavings are too finely
divided to be of use in the man

has been too much lacerated in
the process of reduction, so as
to make its use impossible.
"Another objection to hand

Is, that the wood waste comes
