I need to screw something to the bottom of a desktop made of 1"
particle board (the upper surface is wood veneer). It will
experience a fair amount of load, so I need the screws to hold
securely. If it were solid wood or plywood I would be confident
it would hold, but my experience is particle board does not hold
screws well -- they crumble out.

So, my question is, how can I put screws in the particle board
such that they will hold securely?

Check Google Groups.

What about particleboard screws [with or without wood glue]?

Well, I'll be danged. I never thought about them making special
screws for particle board. Now to find where I can but 6 and not
pay $30 for a lifetime supply.

They aren't all that great for your purpose.
