Most of Maine and all of the North Woods were publicly owned and part of Massachusetts when the American Revolution ended. But in an experiment in privatization unrivaled before or since, the government of Massachusetts, followed by the leaders of the new state of Maine, decided to auction off not just a portion of the lands, as other states had done, but virtually all the public lands and forests. This served the dual purposes of paying off war debt from the revolution and encouraging homesteaders to settle in the sparsely populated territory, with its immense natural resources.

Composites from natural fibres have not yet been fully established in high-tech industry because a sufficient quality for engineering applications is not adequately offered (e.g. by Natural Fiber Composites Inc. and North Wood Plastics). Fibres are available from many plants (highlighted of high quality) for example, wood, abaca, coir, cotton, flax, hemp, henequen, istle, jute, kenaf, ramie, sisal or sunn.

The wolves must not become too numerous or too efficient, too gluttonous or too lazy, and yet they must cull the herd, must keep it moving toward the distant calving grounds or the caribou will overgraze and destroy their habitat. This would be disaster for the hare and the mouse, the fox and the owl, the lichens and the grasses, because the tundra and the cold north woods require many years to heal their scars.

Bleaching. The largest single use for hydrogen peroxide in the United States and North America is wood pulp bleaching, but consumption for the manufacture of chemicals, environmental appHcations, and for bleaching cotton (qv), wool (qv), and other textiles (qv) is significant. 

Applications. These materials are stiU in developmental infancy. Current production is limited to one commercial process in Europe and a demonstration-scale process in North America. The lignins produced in these processes have potential appHcation in wood adhesives, as flame retardants (qv), as slow-release agents for agricultural and pharmaceutical products, as surfactants (qv), as antioxidants (qv), as asphalt extenders, and as a raw material source for lignin-derived chemicals. 

More than two-thirds of the naphthenic acid produced is used to make metal salts, with the largest volume being used for copper naphthenate, consumed in the wood preservative industry (see Wood). Metal salts used as paint driers accounted for only 16% of the naphthenic acid market in 1993 (see Paint). This is a dramatic contrast with 1977 usage, when 75% of the naphthenates went into the paint drier market. An overall view of the 1993 naphthenic acid market in North America shows the following uses ... 

Pressures on forest resources and competing uses of fresh wood have resulted in greater recovery of sawlogs from trees that are formerly considered a fiber resource. On the west coast of North America, the larger trees are primarily used for lumber and plywood, leaving only the residues for pulp chips. In order to minimize butt damage, many operations use sawheads rather than shears on the feUer-bunchers.

The foregoing factors are not independent. Two sites 50 km apart in Kansas, a state that has quite flat terrain largely planted in field crops, may be much more representative of one another than two sites 5 km apart in more rugged mountainous, wooded terrain, e.g., in the western part of North Carolina.

Many of the building codes used initially in North America were imported from Europe by the early settlers. In 1630, the City of Boston building code stated No man shall build his chimney with wood nor cover his roof with thatch. In 1865, the City of New Orleans adopted an ordinance requiring the inspection of buildings for public use. In 1905 the National Board of Fire Undeiwriters published the first national building code in the United States, the Recommended National Building Code.
