Torest waste amounts to at least 60 per cent of the standing tree; but when the other 40 per cent arrives at the sawmill it is further reduced by half. For of the average log received at the mill, the cut of the saw exacts a toll of about 13.5 per cent; bark waste runs from 10 to 20 per cent; edging and trimming take another 8.7 per cent; slabs the same; careless sawing about 3.5 per cent and siz- ing to standard dimensions about 1.7 per cent. A fair sized mill produc- ing 200,000 board feet of lumber daily will have 200 cords of waste material to dispose of. No Market For Waste. While some of this waste is burn- ed to produce steam fdr the mill, and part is cut into small domestic sizes for local use, considerably more tha half the total mill waste alone is burned or thrown into waste piles be- ause there is no market for it.
