laboratories of canada do minion forestry branch montreal the fact that rate of growth exer cises an important influence on the mechanical properties of timber had been brought to light by previous re search it was known that in soft woods such as pine and spruce slowly grown material tended to be stronger than that of very rapid growth and that in the socalled rlngporous hard woods such 83 ash and oak the re verse was true slowly grown wood being inferior in strength to that of more rapid growth analysis of the results of many thousands of strength tests made at the laboratories has now enabled the investigators to go a step further and to determine definitely the rates of growth at which maximum strength is developed in a number of the import ant commercial woods of canada this information
