Graded Hardwoods Receive Lumber Tectadogist Boost Log and lumber grading rulea for weat coast hardwoods would benefit loggera. mlllmfn and con aumera In buying and selling, ac cording to Oregon forest products laboratory technologtsla. Such aystem would Insure a Uniform product lor pitrlUtilnr use. And It would eliminate the guesa work In estimating log worth. These, statements have been Is aued by A. U. Wollm ol Die U 8 forest produtut laboratory, Madl aon, Wis., who was adviser for an Oregon hardwood grading attidy. Jack rfelller of tlie Oregon lorest products laboratory waa field di rector and Clyde Randall assisted. Alder, one of Ion major Oregon hardwoods. -:was aelected for the Initial aludy.

Bmllh Hardwood company, Longvlcw, Wash., and (he Vrul and Son Furniture company, Albany, were checked for exterior defects. Overgrown knots, llmha, dark dis tortions, splits, mrchanlcul Injuries and other delrcta were recorded. From Ihe Information gathered on the three-week summer field aludy, Pfeiffer will he able lo de termine the pert'enlage of various ldmber grades that can be expect- al no further dumage of consequence, In must cases the yield la not af fected at that point. However, he aald, If alem ruat apjH-ara aerloua trouble la apt to develop, and he warned farmera lo watch for It. Generally. BahoU forecast no aerloua trouble In the Tulelake Haain unleaa unforeseen clrcumalancea arise ed from apeclflc aider logs. In Oregon, alder haa been con sidered an Inferior species be cause the logs have been Judged poor by their external appearance.

National Hardwood Lumber as- aoclatlon grading rules are well adapted to I'acllic coast hardwood used for factory lumber, tho wood technologists said. About 1B.000.000 board feel ol alder are cut In Ore gon each year, mainly lor lurnl tore use. Alder grows predominate ly west of the Oregon Cascades. An Increased Oregon hardwood market has failed to develop be cause of a general ack-of-appre-clation" altitude. Pfeiffer remarked. Lack of rules for a standard pro duct and an Irregulr source of sup ply also have hindered Ihe hard wood business, Pfeiffer concluded.
