One of the outstanding developments has been an industry that utilizes agricultural waste products to produce synthetic lumber. Such materials as cornstalks (1), bagasse (2), wheat straw (3), wood (4), whole cotton plants (5) and etc., have entered into the manufacture of the different synthetic lumbers, and the different products have met with varied degrees of success.
