Abstract
CHANGES in industry and in housing which have taken place on the Continent since the Great War have altered the incidence of demand for wood, more especially in the small material which formerly was used for firewood or turned into charcoal. Faced with a big unsaleable surplus of such material, forest owners have tried to find new outlets for it, and progress in this direction may be summarised as the use of scientific control in methods of turning wood into a homogeneous product suited to mechanised mass-production conditions of manufacture.
