Wall panels are modifications of standard 4x8 Lu-Re-Co panels. They have one plywood skin nailed to 2x4 framing. The main load-carrying members are 2x4 studs at the panel edges. Horizontal 2x4 blocking on 24" centers stiffens the panel.

The plywood skin on these wall panels it %" medium density overlaid type, which has a smooth, resin fiber surface that provides an excellent paint base. The plywood functions as a one thickness combination sheathing-siding. The adequacy of this nailed panel has been thoroughly tested at the DFPA applied research laboratory. A decorative siding effect is achieved by battens on l2-inch centers.

Andersen Strut-Wall windows were used as the LuRe-Co window panels.

The house has a 3/12 pitched roof. Two-by-four king post trusses with plywood gusset plates provide roof support over the bedroom wing. The roof decking is %" PlyScord plywood sheathing with Plyclips.

Specially designed, exposed cathedral type box beams on 8" centers are the roof supports for the living wing. For ease in handling, these beams are fabricated in longitudinal (Continued on Page 94)

Weyerfroeuser Compony Horwests Record Crop of Seed Gones

TACOMA, Wash.-A record 190,000-bushel harvest of seed cones this Fall was reported by Royce O. Cornelius, Weyerhaeuser Con-rpany managing forester. He said the cones should 'yield about 100,000 pounds of seed for reforestation programs.

Hundreds of weekend cone collectors were paid $427,500 by Weyerhaeuser for their spare-time efforts.

Tl-re record harvest compared with 3,500 bushels in 1955, 43,000 in 1956, 30,000 in 1957 and 20,000 in 1958. Cornelius said the cone crop this year was the best since 1946. Cone crops in the years between varied due to Mother Nature's biological fickleness, adverse'weather, and insect damage.

"During bun-rper seed years," Cornelius says, "foresters gather adequate seeds for future lean years. It is hoped the 1959 supply will fill the gap in the event the next foul years
