Excerpt from Wood Quality Studies to Guide Hawaiian Forest Industries For many years before Statehood, the Bishop Estate and later the Territorial Board of Commissioners of Agriculture and Forestry of Hawaii conducted a cooperative program of timber testing at the U. S. Forest Service Forest Products Laboratory at Madison, Wisconsin. In 1959, it became apparent that the time had come to reexamine this program and set a course for future wood quality studies. The Board asked the Pacific Southwest Forest and Range Experiment Station to take on the job, and the Legislature provided most of the necessary financing. This report is the outcome. It represents one of a series of forest research projects which were started under the old Board and which are now being continued cooperatively by the new Department of Agriculture and Conservation and the Forest Service.
