New Southern Pine Groding R.ules June I

Distribution of the neu' Southern Pine grading rules that are to become effective on June 1 began this month, according to A. S. Boisfontaine, secretary-manager of the Southern Pine Inspection Bureau. The rules will better meet the present needs of the trade, and provide opportunities for superior qualities to be effectiveiy merchandised. In the structural section, the simple-beam principle of grading the middle third of the length has been completely abandoned, and as a result graded members norv carry stress ratings to meet every structural use and rlay be cut into shorter pieces r,i'ithout impairment of ratings. Single copies of the new rules are available without charge to all retailers and other specifiers and buyers of lumber.
