PLANT LOCUST FOR POSTS
(By Charles A. Refer, Division of Ex-
+anrion JTniyarsitv of TannegSea

10y CnarlSS a. heHei, OiVlSloH Vi la
tension. University of Tennessee.)
There is hardly farm in Tennessee
that does not contain few acres that
can be devoted to the growing of trees
to be used for fence posts. There are
odd corners, irregular pieces Of
ground that can not conveniently be
embodied in fields, steep hillsldes,
gullies, even the best OF farms have
small areas that for one reason or an
other can not be profitably cultivated.
Plant them to black locust, or other
good post timber
Trees are sometimes planted along
highways, and used as living fence
posts, but this is poor plan because
too much of the adjoining fields, which
is often the best on the farm, is taken
up by their shade and roots; the land
two to four rods into the field is great
ly reduced in crop-production by the
trees.
Black locust is the best species to
use for posts, because ii. is very dura-
BILE in contact with the soil, and is a
tree of the most rapid growth. The
seedlings can be bought of western
nurserymen for less than two dollars
per thousand. They are easily grown.
Gather the seed now, thresh them
from the pods with fail, and keep
dry until late March. Just before plant
ing pour boiling water over the seeds,
and leave stand until the water is
cold; then plant either where the tree
is to stand or in thick drills, where
they should be cultivated one year,
and then transplanted to their perma-
nent place. If sown in drills, SOW very
thick in drill about four inches wide,
to prevent too great growth the first
year. AS soon as the Seeding is trans,
planted cut the top off at the ground
to secure vigorous shoot.
In good soil locusts will be twelve
TO fifteen feet high when three years
old and if cut at the ground will make
excellent tomato or vine stakes, and
the shoot from the root will make a
wonderful growth. Planted four by
four feet, fence post size is reached In
ten years or less, and the plantation
is continuously productive. A better
use for odd corners, steep lands, OF
eroded lands hardly can he found
