interpreter and leader in the colony
at Mason City, who is charged with
taking money from each of the Greek
laborers who secure jobs at the ce-

revenue from them as long as they
remain. The arrest of Chichis was
brought about by Labor Commission

tator between the laborers and the
superintendent of the plant. He hit
upon a scheme whereby he taxed

PRESERVING FENCE POSTS.
Government Method of Saving Life
of Wood Described i'm Detail.

Every farmer is familiar with the
rotting of his fence posts at the sur
face of the ground. The labor of re-
placing them and how to secure new
and durable posts are sources of con-
slant annoyance and expense Even
the more durable woods, such as
chestnut, white oak and cedar, decay
in eight or ten years. 1t is true that
there are few kinds of wood in the
United States, such as locust and
osage-orange, which give much long
er service, but their supply, never
hausted, and the farmer must now
look to some other source for his
posts. Perhaps directly on his farm
there may be patch of woods which
includes such trees as black oak,
beach, maple or pine, and cotton
woods and willows may grow along
the banks of his streams. These are
trees which heretofore have been
thought of little or no use for posts,
because of the rapidity with which
they are attacked by decay. In their
natural condition, they will rot in
two or three years-too soon to pay
for the labor of setting them. The
Forest Service in it's study of prolong-
ing the life of fence posts has found
cheap and simple methods of preserv-
ing them in sound condition for an
indefinite time, even though they are
the poorest and naturally least dura-
BILE woods.
Decay is not a simple process like
the crumbling of stone or the rusting
of iron. 1t is caused by low forms
of plant life which thoroughly per-
meate the wood, discolor it or cause
it to become disconnected and rot
ten" To preserve the timber in a
thoroughly sound condition, it is on
ly necessary to render the wood unfit
for the growth of these organisms.
This is done by injecting into it sub
stances poisonous to plant life.
One of the most widely used pre-
servatives is creosote, one of the by
products of coal tar. When it is in
jected into the wood, decay will be
retarded indefinitely and an old
field pine or cottonwood fence post
when properly treated will easily
give life of twenty years or longer.
Such a preservative treatment costs
about ten cents per post. The creo-
sote can be applied by painting the
wood with brush or dipping it in
to the liquid, but much better re-
suits will be obtained if it is actual
ly injected into the wood instead of
merely coating the outside. If the
brush" method. or painting, is
used, the creosote should be applied
at temperature of about $50 de-
grees F. Two coats should be given
at least twenty-four hours apart. If
the posts are dipped directly into
the preservative, the creosote should
be heated to about the same tenn
perature. The best results of all
can be obtained by first heating the
posts In a bath of hot creosote and
then either transferring them quick
ly to a bath of creosote at lower
temperature, or else shutting on the
heat and allowing the posts to re-
main in the oil as 1t cools. BY such
method, the sapwood will become
thoroughly permeated with the creo-
sote. Full details and specific d.
rections for the treatment of differ
ent kinds of posts may be obtained
by application to the Forester,
