WHICH END OF A POST?
Experiments Show Ii Makes Little
Difference How Post liz Set.

1t Is a very common belief among farm
ers that post will last longer If set in
the ground the reverse of the way it grew
in the tree in other words, with the butt
end up. Accordingly, one sees many
posts, especially end and gate posts, with
the small end down
The supposition is that sap in a tree
Is always ascending, or AT least that it Is
easier for the sap to go up than down.
Consequently, IT is argued, turning a post
upside down tends to prevent the rise of
water helps to keep the wood dry and
therefore renders it less liable TO decay.
As II matter of fact, sap or water can
flow in either direction with equal facil-
ity and the popular notion to the contrary
Is Incorrect
Careful. experiments on the relative
durability Of post timbcrs have been
made by the Ohio Agricultural Expert
mcnt station and the above question was
considered. one fence IN particular con-
ta!ned l5G black locust posts, OF which So
were set with the top end up. 30 with
the top end down. and 81 did not show
in what position they were set.
At the end OF 20 years 30 posts or 10
per cent, We're decaycd. OF this number
10 We're top up, 10 top down, and four
undetermined. In other words one
third of those set top down rotted on.
as compared with only a little over one-
sixth Of those set top up.
The decay of post is mostly at the
ground line, since II is there that the
conditions as to air and moisture are
most favorable to the development of
rot-causlng fungi Other things being
equal, the larger the post the longer It
viii last.
lnverting a post often means putting
the small end in the ground and where
this is done the time required to rot 1t
off is less than where the big end is
down.
If both ends are equally sound the
larger should go in the ground II one
end Is defective It should be up since
the conditions above ground are many
times more favorable TO durability than

COLLINS NOT SIGNED YET.
Red SOX Pitcher Awaits Action of
Baseball Fraternity.

Ray Collins was in the city sunday
from hts Colchester farm and when asked
II he had signed up for another season
with the Red SoX. replied tina, he had
not and gave his reasons by explaining
his connection with the baseball fratern-
ity, of which he is vice-prcsidcnt and
member Of the advisory board. The
fraternity has membership of between
400 and 500 members and 1t is doubtful II
any OF the members Will sign contracts
until the association and the baseball
officials have met and agreed on terms
for the future.
The association is composed Of the play
ers of the American, National and Inter-
state leagues and American associations
and is striving for the betterment Of
conditions for the big league players. The
advisory board will meet the officials in
New York city on January ) and then
the course to be adopted will be decided
The fraternity Is strong enough so that
affairs will doubtless remain at stand
still until an agreement has been reached.
Collins is in charge of the Boston bunch
and only four have been signed up for
that aggregation as yet. OF these Larry
Gardner is one but he is in line for the
reason that he signed for "a term OF
years last season, before anything like
the fraternity was in the air OF course
he will not be asked to violate his con-
tract. Joe Wood signed but at the time
he placed his signature he did not know
of the hold off, and Collins was unable
to communicate with him before the
terms were made. Wagner and Foster
are the other two and the latter was in
jured so that he really had no other re-
course. An attempt to secure Cicotte was
made Friday without success
Other members Of the advisory board
are: Reulbach. another Vermont man,
Henry of Washington and Daubert OF
Brooklyn, who with Collins constitute the
four vice presidents
There Is no doubt but that Collins will
be In demand this season on account of
| last years work He is characterized by
| Umpire Evans as the equal Of Walter
Johnson and has the distinction of win

| Johnson was the opposing pitcher, All
three OF these were decided by a score
