CHESTNUT TREES FOR POLES
Selection ls sMore Carefully Made
Than Average Person Thinks
Defects Looked For.

Not every tall chestnut tree Is
worthy Of becoming a telephone pole
the selection of poles is more care
fully made than the average person
thinks. Chestnut and eastern white
cedar furnish the bulk of the eastern
pole timber. Specifications for chest
nut poles generally require material
to be of good quality second-growth
timber, of specified dimensions, butt
cut, squared at both ends, reasonably
straight, well proportioned from tip
to butt, peeled and with knots trimmed
close.
Defects looked Cor in inspection are
crookedneSs, split tops and butts, sap
and butt rot, checks and shakes. Poles
are assigned to two or three classes,
according to their length, top circum-
ference and circumference measured
at 6 feet from the butt. Poles of the
40-foot class, for example, are re-
quired by one representative pole
company to be "a inches in top cir
conference and AZ inches in basal
circumference, while second-class
poles of the same length measure only
% and 46 inches, respectively, at the
two points.
