Try and Stop Me
-By BENNETT CERF-
AT A KIDDIES' birthday party in Hollywood Eve of lie
six little boys present were sons of dramatists; the sixth
as the offspring of the owner of one of the country's big
mt rarnpt factories. Dur
ing a lull in the bedlam,
the mother of the birth
day boy asked the guests
in turn what their fa
thers did. Five in succes
sion answered, "My fa
ther is a playwright," The
sixth, just as proudly, an
nounced, "My father is a
carpetwright."

"Silvichemicals," a relative
ly new term in common
usage, denotes the field of
discovering and producting
chemicals from wood. It was
popularized by Rayonier In
corporated, a pulp and paper
manufacturer in Washington.
Numerous companies and
research groups in the Pacific
Northwest have become ac
tive in this field, and Oregon,
as the number one timber
slate, has a vital stake and a
bright future in silvichemi
cals. Many leading forest pro
duct firms and organizations
which maintain headquarters
or branches within Oregon's
borders are already beginning
to show real results.
An example of the wide
variety of uses into which new
chemical products of the tree
are finding their way is furn

Corp., which says its silvi
chemicals are going into as
phalt emulsions, briquets,
ceramics, cleaning compounds,
gypsum board, softboard, in
secticides, lino'eum paste,
road binders, concrete admix
tures, oil-well drilling com
pounds, paint, paint slovents
and strippers, agricultural
chemicals, synthetic fibers,
rubber, camphor, wetting
agents, resins, solvents, plas
ticizers and a host of other
products. 1
Weyerhaeuser Company is
shooting for a full line of silvi
chemicals and is presently
marketing quercetin, a bril
liant yellow chemical derived
from Douglas fir bark which
protects products such as rub
ber, plastics, vegetable and
animal oils, feeds other com
modies from spoiling or de
teriorating. Company scien
tists are continuing their ex
tensive research on bark com
ponents and whole-wood fiber
products.
In Portland, Georgia-Pacific
Corporation will soon start
production of 200,000 to 300,
000 pounds a month of cyan
ide chemicals in a major new
chemical pilot plant which
will use bark and sawdust.
The new plant will turn out
glycerin, copper cyanide, fer
ric ferrocyanide, copper sul
phate and nickel sulphate
worth an estimated $2,000,
000 to $3,000,000 a year.
A new research and devel
opment center of Evans Pro
ducts company at Corvallis is
pushing research on chemi
cal utilization of wood resi
dues. The center is presently
turning wood fiber from near
by mills into plastic-impregnated
battery separators.
Western Pine association's
laboratory in Portland has
developed methods for ex
tra c t i n g arabogalactan, a
sugar from larch which is
useful as a pill binder, and
an ingredient for such pro
ducts as ink and glue. The
pine industry researchers
have also improved extractive
techniques for resin, a source
of terpentine and rosin. Resin,
which makes up some 5 per
cent of pine trees, can be ob
tained from stumps, or even
from lumber.
At Corvallis, the Oregon
Forest Research center, an
industry - supported state
organization, has isolated ma
jor chemical constituents from
western trees and has devel
oped uses for extractives from
Douglas fir bark sjch as tan
nins, waxes and dihydroquer
cetin. Scientists there are also
studying lignin structure and
are working with wood resi
dues. Industry foresters who
think of their producing
Tree Farms in terms of tim
ber crops for lumber and
paper products, plus by-products
in watershed values,
recreation and wildlife habi
tat, a,e becoming increasingly
aware of the vast chemical
storehouse their tall timber
also represents, says AFPI.
In fact, the industry organi
zation declares, the day may
be fast approaching when
bark, 1 i m bs , knots, pitch
pockets and all may be hauled
to the mill to be ground up,
cooked and reshaped into
dazzling new products.

consists of lignin - the "glue"
which nature uses to hold the
fibers of the trea together. Re
searchers have not yet fath
omed us exact structure, des
pite their progress in obtain
ing a growing range of chem
icals from it.
Many of them believe that
once they achieve the break
through in pinning down lig-
o
nin'i Uructui completely -which
some feel (pay come
within five to 10 years - they
will then Rave the framework
with which to create a silvi
chemical industry compar
able to this country's diverse
petro-chemical field.
As the forest industries
stride into this new age of
silvichemicals, AFPI points
out, tree farming - the inten
sive management of privately
ow.d forest lanricto produce

assume vital new meantng In
