uNSEASONED GREEN POSTS
:wILL LAST AS LONG AS
THE SEASONED ONES
Experiments Show that Deterioration
In Green Posts and Ties is No
Greater Than that of Seasoned Ones

Unseasoned or green posts, ties and
poles in contact with the soil will last
practically as long as seasoned wood.
This is the conclusion of experiments
and observations made by the Forest
Products Laboratory AZ Madison, Wis.
and was given to this paper by Prof.
Morrill,. head of the Forest Depart
ment at Colorado Agricultural Col
lege.
In the case Of railroad tics on the
Northern Pacific railway, Douglas fir
ties, which were seasoned. lasted only
l.3 per cent longer than unseasoned
ones.
II is said that the moisture content
is the chief factor in determining the
rate of decay. Granting the truth of
this statement, it can be readily under
sood that a seasoned stick will very
soon take up soil moisture until the
stick contains rs much moisture as
the unseasoned one. after which decay
will proceed at the same rate in both.
All of the above applies only to
wood which has not been treated with
preservatives.

Not only is the question Of finding

are that Denver will BE- called upon to
take care of the greatest crowd ever
assembled in that city. The Denver

task of listing all the hotel rooms and

the prices charged will only be the
same as usual. except that 4 room for

Denver is thoroughly awake to the
situation and everything possible will

Reports of county assessors for
1919, as tabulated by the State I'm
migration Department, show that 26,-
620,O94 or 40l3 percent of the total
area ot the state, is assessed as agri-
cultural land. This includes very
large area that has never been broken
and much that never viii be broken,
being valuable only for grazing pur-
poses. IL includes more than 10000
900 acres classed as "dry farming"
land, most of which ultimately will be
cultivated. Reports OF county asses
sors made to the immigration De-
partment in 1919, showed that there
was approximately 100000 acres in
cultivation last year, the largest ever
cultivated in one year. These figures
give a fair idea OF the possibilities for
agricultural development in the state.
