In connection with the above mentioned experiment, an attempt has been
made to make similar tests in a practical way through co-operation
with manufacturers. A small shipment of chestnut chips was made to a
company in New York State, to test its value for the manufacture of
plaster board. A similar shipment was made to a company in Ohio which
manufacturers special machinery for reducing wood, the idea being to
test these chips for the production of paper pulp.
