creosoted Fence Posts

The fact that wood Is becoming
scarce and labor more expensive is
causing farmers to seek means of
making their fenceposts last longer.
Experiments have shown that Gre
osote will solve the problem, &C.
cording to the New Jersey College of
Agriculture.
Professor E. r. Gross of the COL
lege states that fenceposts treated in
creosote will last three to five times
as long as untreated posts, this be-
ing especially true of the softer
varieties such as willow, ash, elm,
soft maple, white cedar and cotton
wood. Many consider 1t inadvisable.
however, to creosote the harder
woods, including oak, red cedar and
chestnut.
The college recommends the use of
round posts for creosotins rather
than split posts, as the penetration
will be more uniform. All bark must
be stripped off and the timber well
seasoned before creosoting.
"Creosote eight to ten inches above
the depth to which the post is to be
set, since most rotting takes place at
or just below the ground line" saws
DR.. Gross. Posts three or four inches
In diameter at the top give best re-
suits, as they are strong enough for
most purposes and usually last as
