It's culture rather uncertain This In
sect may not be plentiful in sli parts Of

the trees every summer and check the
growth 70 such an extent as TO make
them worthless for posts. The best tree
we have ever experimental with Is the
yellow locust known as black locust Ia
some sections. We have trees OF this
species which IN seven years from the
seed were plenty large enough 10 make
good fence posts. Everybody knows the
value OF the locust for posts. for there
is no wood which lasts longer in the
ground The trees can be thinned when
large enough for vineyard stakes or
other purposes. and n little later anoth-
er thinning can be made for the man
