Due For Cutting
Farmers cutting timber for fence posts are advised to have cut, peeled and penned to dry fry May 15. i\".
F. W. Patton, associate Extenaion forester at VPI, said thp'\ posts then will be ready for tregt* jii ment with a preservative by Sepii '■ tember 1. Pentaachlorophenol; Ut one of the most satisfactosy chemkal preservatives f(or fence posts.
Patton made these other suggestions:
Stack posts a foot or more off the ground, preferably in the shade.
Use only round posts, since the ^ exposed heart wood of split posts does not take the jireservativA treatment. ~
Pine and red, black and scarlet or “mixed” oaks take chemical treatment best. Any tank that*' is oil tight and will allow half or more of t1 e post to be submerged at one time will be satisfactory.
Other suggestions for treating posts are contained in Forestry Leaflet No. 12. See your county agent or write the Agricultural Extension Service at VPL t
