Tli ore has boon n sorlos of experi ments recently started by tho gov ernment which should ndd much to tho fundnmontnl knowledge of wood preservation. Slnco tho first mothodu for applying chomlcnl prosorvatlvo3 to woods woro adopted In tho United States thoro has boon much discus slon regarding tho valmo of steaming tho wood and drawing a vacuum bo foro the application of tho prosorvn tlvo. Among thoBO who hnvo hold steaming and vacuum woro ossontlnl In increasing tho nbsorptlvo quali ties of tho wood opinions have dlffor od widely ns to tho length of time the steaming nnd vacuum should be applied. Many have claimod that steaming tlmbor boforo applying the preservative addod groatly to Ks moisture content nnd thus provontod tho preservative from penetrating the wood. Othors havo claimed that stoamlng was nocossary, not only for tho purpose of storlllzlng th tlmbor, but for to oxpand tho pores, nnd, In a mannor which has novor been satisfactorily oxplalnod, In crease tho absorptive qunlltles of tho i wood. Tho prosent Borles of experi ments, which aro conducted, by tho United Statos forost sorvlco, nro ox peoted to yield results which will bo of much practical vaUie 'in determin ing the proper solution to those prob lems. The purpose of those experiments Is to ascertain whether or not, and how much, tho molsturo content of the wood Is increasod by tho stoam lng process, and to what extont this Is diminished by tho vaouum, and to determine tho effect of these factors upon tho absorptive qualities of dif ferent kinds of wood when treated with both oil and a water solution. Results will be obtained for steam ing under different proasures when applied for different periods of time. Tho length and dogree of the vacuum will also bo varied. 1 When completed a report of tho work will bo publlshod and placed at the disposal of all Industries which nro practicing or are receiving the benefits of wood preservation through any of tho methods now In use.
