Tb45: Foreign Woods Utilized In Maine, Norman P. Kutscha, L. L. Emery
Technical Bulletins
The purpose of this study was to (a) evaluate the extent to which foreign woods are used in the state of Maine, (b) to see if any problems exist in the use of these woods, (c) to compile information on the characteristics of the species used and provide this information to the users by supplying them with a copy of this bulletin, and (d) to provide for a better understanding of the significance of foreign wood use in the state.
Tb41: The Potential Of Lignin Research, Norman P. Kutscha, James R. Gray
Tb41: The Potential Of Lignin Research, Norman P. Kutscha, James R. Gray
Technical Bulletins
Lignin constitutes a vast natural resource, which can be found in various forms depending on where it is obtained and how it is isolated. To most easily isolate lignin, we must understand more thoroughly its chemical structure and how it is bound to the other wall components. To use lignin more effectively and develop new uses for it, we must understand its properties. Likewise, the most effective use of lignin-containing materials such as wood and wood products depends on understanding how their properties are affected by the properties of lignin.

B682: A Recreational Study Of The Upper St. John River Watershed, Jeffrey L. Hengsbach
Bulletins
The purpose of this study was to prepare a series of alternative plans for three time periods (1968, 1975, and 2000) for the Upper St. John River watershed. The plans contain proposals for a primitive type of recreational development based on private investment. One set of plans is an integration of recreational use with the existing timber use, and another set provides for recreational use of the area surrounding the reservoir in the event the proposed Dickey Dam is constructed.
