} and Upper bolt, 1, 4, 5, 8, 9, } tested 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.
_Methods of Test_ All tests will be made according to Circular 38 except in case of conflict with the instructions given below: _Static bending_: The tests will be on specimens 2" X 2" X 30" on 28-inch span.
