S2One of the big markets for wooden pallets is the Department of Defense. For the benefit of pallet suppliers, a study of this market has been made to show them what kinds of pallets DOD uses, how DOD purchases pallets, when and where pallets are needed, and what problems are associated with selling to DOD. And for the benefit of DOD materials-handling personnel, information is included about locations of pallet suppliers, problems suppliers are confronted with when selling to DOD, and initial price ranges for pallets. The Department of Defense (DOD) market for wooden pallets has two segmentsdirect and indirect. The Defense General Supply Center (DGSC) in Richmond, Va., constitutes the direct market. Other DOD installations, the General Services Administration (GSA), and private industrial firms that supply goods on pallets to DOD constitute the indirect market. About one-half of the wooden pallets used by DOD are purchased by DGSC. This study is concerned primarily with the direct market. And all information relates to market conditions of 1965 and 1966 unless reference is made to a different year or time period. S3.
S2For the benefit of pallet suppliers and Department of Defense materials-handling personnel, we have prepared this paper to bring the information in the Department of Defense market for wooden pallets: 1965 up to date for 1966. A study of the market has been made to show what kinds of pallets the Department of Defense (DOD) uses, how DOD purchases pallets, and what the range of pallet prices is. Unless otherwise noted, all information relates to conditions in 1966 and 1967.S3.
S2Our study of the Department of Defense market for wooden pallets in 1967 showed: Forty seven percent fewer pallets were purchased in 1967 than in 1966: Plywood pallets were purchased for the first time: Nine new pallet specifications were on the DOD list of standard pallet specifications: Two temporary distribution areas were set up. The purpose of our study was to update and supplement the information in "The Department of Defense market for wooden pallets: 1965".'

S2In a study carried out on the George Washington National Forest, 72 of the existing 143 site-stand condition classes were designates as candidates for timber-stand-improvement or conversion projects. But which projects are worth undertaking, and which should receive priority? These are decisions that confront program administrators and forest managers alike. To help them in this we have made investment analyses of the 19 most prevalent (modal) project classes, which together encompass almost 124 thousand acres of this Forest in Virginia and West Virginia. By providing a basis for rating and comparing opportunities, these appraisals suggest what kinds of projects to favor in planning an efficient program for stand improvement and stand conversion.S3.
