Pine Fence Posts
Last If Treated
Not every farm ha* on it black
locust, red cedar, bald cypress or the
other durable woods desirable for
fence posts. Safe S. W. Grseber, Ex
tension fcjester of N. C. State Col
lege, says there are few farmers who
can't find some pine or gum trees
from which long-lasting fence posts
can be made with the proper treat
moat of the wood with creosote or <
some other pseeei native.
"Locust, cypress, cedar, red rastl- (
berry and catalpa are so durable they
require no treatment," Gaaeber
said, "but unfortunately mofet ef these
species have been exhausted on thous
ands of North Carolina farms. How
ever, even the least durable woods
such as pine and gum can be made
to last from fifteen years upward if
properly treated."
The Extension forester recommends 1
cresote. First, ha says, hspe the j
wood pealed clean and thoroughly
dry. Then place Hie posts on end in 1
a boiler containing creosote oil and
boil for two hour* Posts should be in '
tihe oil to a depth at six indies deep- 4
er than theywiB stand in the gsouad. <
Upon removal from Hie boiler, place '<
the entire post in a tank of cold creo- ;
sote oil and allow to remain fOr two
hours.
Very satisfactory results also have 1
been obtained, Graeber says, from the \
use of zinc chloride as a preservative.
This is modi quicker, since green i
posts are used. lite fact, the sooner '
they are treated after cutting, His 1
better.
Practically the only material need- J
ed are tike preservative and an old <
inner tuba about 26 inches long. One j
end of the poet is elevated and a tube 1
filled with zinc chloride is fitted over 1
the higher aid. In a short time the 1
Hie sapwood of Hie poet, forcing Hie 1
natural sap out at the looser end. i
