The bulletin on "By-Products of the Lumber Industry" by H.K. Benson
(published by Department of Commerce, Washington, 10 cents) contains a
description of paper-making and wood distillation. There is a good
article on cellulose products by H.S. Mork in _Journal of the Franklin
Institute_, September, 1917, and in _Paper_, September 26, 1917. The
Government Forest Products Laboratory at Madison, Wisconsin, publishes
technical papers on distillation of wood, etc. The Forest Service of the
U.S. Department of Agriculture is the chief source of information on
forestry. The standard authority is Cross and Bevans' "Cellulose." For
the acetates see the eighth volume of Worden's "Technology of the
Cellulose Esters."
