A joint meeting in November at Burney u'ith the Southern Oregon-Northern Califomia Dry Kiln Club was proposecl.

It u'as also suggested that the club contribrrte a pal)er, on the use of moisture sentry as appliecl by several member mills to measurement of rnoisture collterlt on the clry chairr, to the annual meeting of tl-re \Vestertr Dry Kiht Clubs.

Les Lane of The Pacilic Lumber Co.. Scotia. irr his discussion of "Handling and Drying Proceclures in the Reclrn'ood Industry," described the ezrrly u'ork on the developrnent of segregatior.r in reclwoocl in 1928. The systent, therr, r\ras ver)' rnnch the same as is in use totlay.

Reclu''ood is segregated, on the basis of color, 'iveight and rvater streaks, into three categories-light, medium anrl heavy. Light segregation can be kiln driecl to Sfi from greeu in 8 clays, 4x.l stock. N{edium ancl hear.y are always air-clriecl to approximately 4O/o moistnre colltent before kiln-drying. Air-clrying time for meclinm 4x4 stock is six rnonths, arrcl l0 to 12 months for heavv. after which seven to eight clays is required for kiln-drfing. I\Iost drying is clone on time schedules, as moisture meters har-e not been foutrcl satisfactory for redu'ood.

N{r. Lane saicl that the success of clrying reclwood clepended.largely on the effectiveness of segrEgation on the green cnall].

All lumber is dried to 8/a rnoisture content. Face-checking of redwood is not a drying problern although somc enclchecking occurs. Splitting of birdseye ancl occurrence of collapse are the major reasorls l,l'l-ry fast <lrying schedrrles are not used, he said.
