Washington, D. C.--The period for receiving license applications for manufacturing and sales rights for the sawdust soil improver process, Fersolin, has been extended from the previouslv :rnnounced deadline of May l0 to July l, 1951, the Committee on Hardrvood Research Administration has advised the association secretaries of hardwood producers.

This action rvas takerr at the request of ltardrvood research committee members who reported to Carl A. Rishell, Committee Secretary, an unusually large number of inquiries from hardwood manufacturers about this nerv rvaste utilization process.

At a meeting of the Hardwood ltesearch Administration Committee last February 27, provision rvas nrade for generally acquainting the hardwood manufacturing industry with the process and offer was made to receive until I\{ay l0 applications for license to manufacture and sell Fersolin under pending patents in the U. S. and Canada. Applicaitons covering 17 states have already been received.

The process was developed in the Timber Engineering Cornpany's laboratory under the Hardwood Industry Research program of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association. Some of the advantages are as follows : l. Manufacturing facilities required are simple in compari son rvith most chemical utilization processes ancl capital equipment investment is comparatively low.

2. \\raste from any wood species, rnixed or otheru,isc, dry or greer can be trscd.

3. I)resence of bark in tlre rvaste makes no difierence.

4. I'rocess is neither cornplicated nor expensive.

5. It is believed plants of l0 tons daily capacity are commercially feasible.

6. Marketing opportunities for the product appear to be quite promising.

In making the soil improver material the screened waste is dampened with a lr,'eak acid solution and then subjected to a heat treatment. The entire process takes about an hour. The converted san'dust may if necessary (depending upon soil and plant conditions) be further treated rvith an alkali to reduce the acidity. The product, a black granular dust, is spread over the soil and plowed in. It serves as a soil conditioner for increasing porosity reducing hardpan and retaining the correct amount of soil moisture.

A detailed prospectus covering the process and provisions for licensing are available to hardrvood manufacturers from Carl A. Rishell, Secretary, Commiltee on Hardwood Research Administration, 1319-18th Street, N.W., Washington 6, D. C.
