These tests will be made on material from the adjacent bolts mentioned in "c" under Part of Tree to be Tested. Both bolts will be cut as outlined above. One-half the sticks from each bolt will be tested green, the other half will be air-dried and tested. The division of green and air-dry will be according to the following scheme:

STICK NUMBERS
Lower bolt, 1,

4, 5,

8, 9,
etc. } Tested green
Upper bolt,
2, 3,

6, 7,

10,
Lower bolt,
2, 3,

6, 7,

10, etc. } Air-dried and tested
Upper bolt, 1,

4, 5,

8, 9,

All green sticks from these two bolts will be tested as if they were from the same bolt and according to the plan previously outlined for green material from single bolts. The tests on the air-dried material will be the same as on the green except for the difference of seasoning.

The material will be tested at as near 12 per cent moisture as is practicable. The approximate weight of the air-dried specimens at 12 per cent moisture will be determined by measuring while green 20 per cent of the sticks to be air-dried and assuming their dry gravity to be the same as that of the specimens tested green. This 20 per cent will be weighed as often as is necessary to determine the proper time of test.
