In the search for new woods that
will withstand chemical solu

and the true firs show a sur
prisingly high resistance, accord
ing to the report of a chemical
engineer at the Oregon Forest
Products laboratory.
J. D. Ross found resistance nf
ponderosa pine and white and
noble fir to acid, base and salt
solutions to be as high, or higher,
than that of many woods used
for conventional tank stock.
Species generally preferred for
tank stock include Douglas fir,

now has more than 30,000 stock
holders, also provides telephone,
water and steam heat services.

and cypress.
Ross' tests show that ponder
osa pine sapwood maintained the
greatest strength against acid ac
tion. Rating lust under the Dine
were noble fir, Douglas fir, and
white fir. They made up the top
four woods in a list of 16 tested.
Ponderosa pine sapwood also
rated highest in resistance to
bases. Noble and white fir
showed the greatest resistance
to salt solutions, followed bv
pine sapwood.
Ross pointed out that volume
of lumber used for tank construc
