TWO MEDFORD (OREGOK) MAIL TBIBOHE Mill Residue Study Results Announced A Joint survey by the Oregon Forest Products laboratory and the Pacific Northwest Forest and range experiment station has been published In the April in formation circular, which they sponsor every month, concern ing mill residues in Jackson, Linn and Lincoln counties. The articles on the three county's mill residue production were written by S. E. Corder, of the Oregon Forest Products laboratory. Corvallis. and D. R. Gedney, of the USFS Pacific Northwest Forest and range experiment station in Portland. Purpose of Study Purpose of the study was to learn the quantity of mill re sidue potentially available for use in three counties of western Oregon. Emphasis was placed on coarse residue because of the immediate possibility of convert ing it to pulp or fiber. Fine re sidue was reported as volume of sawdust or shavings produced. The field survey of sawmills was conducted in the three coun ties, in September 1955. All Known sawmills with a capacity of over 40 M feet, board mea sure per eight-hour shift, were visited in each of the three coun ties. About 15 per cent of smaller mills were contacted for infor mation to use in estimating data for the entire group of small mills. Coarse residue was recorded as that from sulfite-pulp species and that from other species. Other uses consisted mainly of use for fuel. Fine residue was listed as used chiefly for fuel. Results of Survey Results of the survey deter mined that if all the coarse re sidue from sawing lumber pro duced in Oregon in 1955 were available, the total volume de veloped would amount to 387, 000 tons from sulfite-pulp species and 2.671,000 tons from other species. At the estimated rate in 1935, 54.000 tons of residue from sulfite-pulp species and 805,000 tons from other species was being used for pulp or .board manu facture.

Brooks Electric AND PLUMBING 1016 North Riverside Phone 2-5209 The survey showed there were 11 sawmills in Jackson county with capaciftfs over 80 M fbm per shift, 13 mills with capaci ties from 40 to 80 M fbm per shift, and 53 sawmills with capacities less than 40, M per shift. The rate of lumber pro duction in 1955 was 881 MM fbm per year, it reported. None Used for Pulp According to the survey no mill residue was used for pulp because of high transportation costs to the pulp plants. Seven per cent of the coarse residue from true firs and hem lock was used for fuel or re manufacturing, and 93 per cent, 78,000 tons per year, was not used. The total coarse residue from true firs and hemlock, 86, tons per year, could supply a sulfite-pulp production of 123 tons of pulp per day. The survey continued that Jackson, county was producing sawdust at the rate of 237,000 tons per year. Twenty-eight per cent was used for fuel or agri cultural uses and 72 per cent was not used. National Forest In Jackson county the National forests contained the great bulk of the sulfite-pulp types, the sur vey showed. They contained al most twice the area of the sulfite pulp types that occurred in either the private or other public hold ings. The other public holdings were made up principally of the O and C revested land grants and small areas of public do main, county and state-owned land. The study disclosed there was a rather rapid increase in the rate of lumber production for the county between 1945 and 1955. The forest isrource inven tory indicated lumber produc tion probably could not be sustained at the production rate in 1955. Lumber production from sulfite-pulp species was not signi ficant prior to 1945; since then it became an increasingly large part of the total lumber pro duction, according to the survey.
