TIMBER FOR POSTS.
The Trees Rest Suited for This Pur-
pose Are Red Cedar, White
Cedar and Common Locust.

For five years the Vermont expert
ment station has been trying to raise
the very best timber for fence posts
on the most worthless soil from IN ag-
ricultural standpoint, and it has had
remarkable success. The three COM .
mon trees, best suited for posts. are
the red cedar, the white cedar and the
common locust. Seedlings from nine
varieties of trees, including the above,
were planted in the driest tract of
level sand plain east of Burlington.
where the pitch pine is the only tree
thatymakes a vigorous natural growth.
Here the white pine did fairly well, but
the locust far outstripped all others.
Of several thousand seedlings set out
| last spring when less than foot high,
| 90 per cent. are now alive and three
feet or more in height, with vigorous
tops. Twenty year old trees near by
have diameter averaging nine inches
at the base of a clean shaft averaging
25 feet. Each of these trees will fur
nish three fence posts and some fire
wood A thousand trees can be plant
ed to the acre, and the seedlings cost
only $3.50 per thousand. The only
source of trouble is the borer; this
may be greatly reduced by planting oc-
casional rows of white pine among the
locusts. On the whole locust fence
posts may be considered very val
liable product of otherwise worthless
