Relative to the bacterial growth In

this wood is all full cell treated

lat the wood Is treated in a vacuum

cot of wood has injected into It
rom 8 to IL pounds of creosote oil
hitch fills the cells in the wood.
he results Of this treatment is that
fungi are destroyed, and bacterial
fe IL poisoned.
