Dr. Davis is also experimenting with innoculation of hardwood logs and standing trees to promote fungal growth which results in desirable stain or decay or both. TELEVISION BIRMINGHAM, Ala.

Imaginative approaches of this kind are much needed to increase income from forest products and to promote more complete utilization of wood. Stained and decayed pocketed wood would be relatively high value forest products. There is some recent trend toward high value product emphasis including examples such as your own station's new work on figured wood and new work elsewhere on ge Civil rights demonstrators said they planned more marches to day in their current demand for (D ED ED Montgomery TO 5 Mobile 4 Onihan Tl Columbus Selma 3) Tanama City I federal voting examiners for If You Need MONEY On Th Spur Of Tho Momtnt SEE US!

The remains of these hardwoods are presently valueless, and serve only in providing food and habitat for a host of natural de-graders, especially fungi." "Wood present in partially decayed hardwood logs and stumps often is enhanced in beauty by degrading microorganisms.

This beauty is presented in various patterns and colors of stains and decays that are altered constantly during the degradation process. Sections from such logs or stumps often provide materials that can be adapted to the manufacture of products such as picture frames, lamp bases, candle holders, vasas, and tables. The esthetic value of such products may command a price many times greater than comparable products from sound wood of the same species." In commenting on Dr. Davis's research, Dr. C.

L. Le- AUBURN There may be "gold" in those so-called rotten logs lying around in your wood-lot. At least Dr. Terry C. Davis, Department of Forestry, Auburn University Agricultural Experiment Station thinks so.

And to back up his belief he is conducting extensive research on "Availability and Potential Use of Hardwoods Degraded by Microorganisms." "Any hardwood showing this degradation has potential," he says, "and there is an abundance of such wood believed to be of no essential value. Only hardwoods in certain river bottoms contribute substantially to the economy of the state," he points out. Dr. Davis has worked with this wood, often called "partridge wood," and has come up with many attractive pieces of furniture, lamp bases, and even beautiful wall panelling. He works with the wood as a veneer glued on a firm base.

An attractive finish is obtained by rubbing the surface with linseed oil. If a darker finish is desired, Dr. Davis has found that a surface treatment with a solution of ferric chloride results in a purplish black effect. Many business establishments like to "dress up" their display areas and windows with weathered lumber. Dr.

Davis says that by taking panels of the partridge wood and treating it with lime water that it will give a gray effect equal to 100 years of weathering. In explaining his research project Dr. Davis says, "Forest practices arising from emphasis upon pine growth in Alabama have led to mass felling and poisoning of hardwoods resulting in vast areas cluttered with standing dead trees, hard CD 8:30 9:00 (D GD ED tD 9:30 CB lo.oo QD Two marches were staged Tuesday one under a steady drizzle of rain at night.
