on the fundamentals of brown stain; (2) the study of moisture content of wood in use; and (3) a paper by the W.P.A. or the Chapman Chemical Company on results of experiments with the use of chemicals to prevent brown stain. The secretary was charged with .the responsibility of passing these suggestions on to the program chairman, Mr. Brubaker of the California Redwood Association.

The secretary was also requested to keep the membership informed of the program on wood drying being organized for the annual meeting of the Forest Products Research Society scheduled for June 28 to July 3 in San Francisco.

Technical Meeting:

The topic for discussion was "The Sorting and Drying of Young Growth Ponderosa Pine." Young growth Pon-derosa pine is the timber that is coming into saw log size on sites first cut over during the gold-rush days of 1850 to 1880. This timber is now 70 to 100 years old and is 36 to 6Cf' d.b.h. and 100 to 140' tall. It is now being cut at elevations of 1500 to 3000'on the westside Sierra.

The technical program was then turned back to V.-P. Jacobsen by H. H. Smith, who had moderated the technical discussion. Jacobsen thanked the Snider Lumber Products Co. for the opportunity to see their operation and for the fine lunch. Bernell Snider, our gracious host, invited the members to visit his plant at anatime.
