OSAGE ORANGE MAKES LASTING
FENCE POSTS

Farmers who cut down and burn
the Usage orange hedges that border
many farm fields in Maryland are
most likely destroying consider
able quantity OF valuable timber,
says f. B. Trenk. forester for the
University Of Maryland Extension
Service.
Usage orange sticks with a diam
eter OF three inches or over make
most desirable fence posts, says Mr..
Trenk, and are the equal OF any
fence posts that sell at the lumber
yard for from thirty to fifty cents
each. Usage orange is one OF the
most durable woods produced in
America and posts of this wood
should give service for thirty years
or more.
The smaller sticks of the Usage
may be more difficult to market or
use. They are, however, extremely
popular with boy scouts who like
them for bow sticks.
