The forest service, in 1U
desire to utilise to the beet advantage
all of the resources of the federal
timber holdings, has been seeking
proper uses (or these trees and
has experimented In making pulp
from them at Its pulp laboratory at
Waosau, m Wisconsin, an auxiliary
of the forest products laboratory at
Madleon. The Wausau laboratory
la eaalnned with standard machinery
and all experiment^ are carried oat
under conditions which duplicate

An a Anal test ot the ralue . of
some ot these new woods under
practical conditions, arrangements
were made between the forest service-and
the Herald to print none
parts o( Its edition on paper made
from . serious woods that showed
promise an substitutes for spruce.
There woods were ground at the
Wauaau laboratory; the product
wae then mixed with the usual proportions
of chemical pulp and made
into news print phper, rolls of which
were sent to New York for the experimental
run.
Ij The new woods must fulfill many
conditions as to color, finish and
strength. la tbeee trial runs, most
ot the paper Is made from various

promise, hut The Investigators
do not consider their testa complete
