I t is well
known th at decay often starts in
a damp cellar.
Sometimes lumber
becomes
infected with dry rot in the yard
or shed of the mill, and is then
ignorantly or negligently sold
for building purposes. Yard in­
fection is usually caused by im­
proper piling o f the lumber. The
lumber is not piled so that there
is a
free circulation of air
throughout, or with sufficient
slope to permit the rain to run
off. In the shed the infection is
generally caused by contact with
a moist floor.
M r. Humphrey’s study ' has
undoubtedly revealed the fact
that dry rot is not only prevent­
able but unnecessary.

As a result of investigations
recently made by M r. C. J.
Humphrey, Pathologist in the
Department of Agriculture, it
has been found that dry rot in
"m ill constructed’* buildings in
Washington and Oregon is due,
in ail the vases reported, to
ignorance and gross negligence
on the part of the users of wood
as structural material.
