TO MAtfß 400 PAIRS OF COOL Data Is Released For' Treating Fence Posts' Pine, Plentiful In Cho wan County, Takes Treatment Well There has been a great increase in the amount of interest shown in farn} treating fence post with pentachloro prenal (penta) used in the cold soak i ing methods. Many people have ask ed the County Agent about where to i secure penta and the proper method of treating the posts. 1 The post to be used for treating i can come from most any kind of 1 wood, but with a plentiful supply of pine in Chowan County, this is what is most commonly used and pine 'does take the treatment very well, i There are some things to remember , about preparing posts for treatment, i These are: a round post takes the • treatment better than any other 1 shape, the posts should be cut, peeled ■ and seasoned before put in “penta” to 1 soak. If the posts are cut when the ' j sap is up, or about two weeks after '.the broad leaved tree leaves out. All I A AAAAAAOAAJMt/l SCHENLEY 2 PINT :j3«kW:n' &<: Blended .whiskey, 86 proof.

A good schedule is to cut the j | posts in early spring, season them | ! through the summer and treat them; lin late summer or early fall. Be, sure all inner and outer bark is peel-1 ed off of the post as it will slow the j penetrating of the penta in the post.! The posts should be stacked a foot off the ground to give a more satisfac-j tory drying. The stack of posts should be stacked so that all posts will be j able to dry together. When posts dry ;oo rapidly they split or crack. For the cold soaking treatment, it :akes one gallon of 41 % “penta” mix ed with ten gallons of oil, such as No. 2 Fuel Oil, will give a 5% penta so lution by weight. A tank long enough to treat the complete post at one time is necessary for the best results. This tank can be made from oil drums welded together or an old gasoline tank cut open. When the posts are in the tank, they should be kept emerged for a period of at least 48 hours, depending on the size of the posts. The posts should be left to dry for a period of 48 hours after » treating to make the handling of the , posts easier. There has been talk of treating posts for a period of twenty I minutes but the results from this is very unsatisfactory. The posts should ' absorb all of the 5% penta solution • possible. If the post is treated cor rectly, it will last for many years at a very low cost. Anyone desiring the name of busi ness concerns that handle penta can obtain them from the County Agent’s ' office. A fifty gallon drum of 41% ] penta will cost just a little above i, $2.25 per gallon. The cost of post j 1 treatment including cutting the posts, j • penta for treatment and labor will ■ run between 28 and 61 cents depend • ing on the size of the posts. ’ —* I Obedience is not truly performed by j the body, if the heart is dissatisfied. —Saadi. > Commissioners’ Proceedings The County Commissioners met • Monday, May 3, 1954 with the follow-’ : ing members present: r W.
