Excerpt from Modern Timber Design Because wood is different from other materials and because it is non homogeneous, most of the design data have been derived from test results. It has been the function of the personnel at the Forest Products Laboratory at Madison, Wisconsin, which is a part of the United States Department of Agriculture, to develop the necessary data for scientific design in wood, and most of the available information is a result of their tests and interpretations. Naturally, then, no book on timber design can be written without due acknowledgment to the staff of the Forest Products Laboratory. Generous use has been made of their publications.

Although it is not probable that we are to face a timber famine in the near future, it can hardly be denied that the removal of such quantities of timber as are now coming from the forests every year can not fail to make a deep impression on the forest resources of any country, no matter how large the reserve may be.
