Lodgepole preservative re search that Is attracting wide at tention in the western woods is now under way and, beginning this week will center at the Pnn- gle Falls experiment station. In tne local tests, witn some 4U0 posts to be used, a newly devel oped double diffusion treatment will be used. Two Chemicals Used The Deschutes lodgpoie posts will be treated when green with a chemical thafcwill penetrate the moist wood. A second chemical will then be applied, and will fol low the first into the sap wood. Each of the chemicals is soluble in water, but when they combine in tne damp loogepoie they will form an Insoluble precipitate which will form a preservative, As a result ol preliminary tests. foresters are confident that the new treatment will prove effect ive, ine new compound, if ef fective, will be a great Improve ment over present preservatives, foresters say, and will help make the lodgepole Just as suitable as cedar or juniper lor fence-post purposes. Furthermore, it Is pointed out, lodgepole fence posts win t easy to get. Developed In Laboratory The new double diffusion treat ment was developed at the Mad ison, wis., lorest laboratories, and the Forest Products Laboratory at uregon state college. Roy H. Baechler from the Mad ison laboratory and Elmer Mat- son, Portland, will be here to morrow to start their studies at the Princle Falls station in co operation with the Deschutes Re search Center staff, headed by James bowder. Members of the Deschutes cen ter staff, have already made de tailed studies relative to the serv ice life of treated and untreated fence posts on the Prinele Falls experiment lorest. in a prelim inary paper, Walter G. Dahms of tne Deschutes Research Center staff wrote: Tests Results Noted "The service life of lodgepole pine fence posts can be greatly extended Dy tne use ol a good preservative treatment. However, a comparison of treated lodgepole pine posts with untreated western red cedar posts is still Indecisive. These conclusions . have . been reached as a result pf observa tions on 417 lodgepole pine posts for 16 years and 355 cedar posts for 19 years on the Prinele Falls Experiment Forest in Central Or-j Results with treated? posts show that both the arsenic and creosote treatments can be expected to at least double the service life of lodgepole pine posts at Prin gle Falls, Dahms noted. At Mis soula, Mont,, where tests were made, the life of lodfiepole posts was tripled. The double diffusion treatment to be tested here may result in an even longer life for the posts.

Deschutes Road Network Expands Deschutes this season recorded completion of 100 miles of surfaced county roads, a mileage believed outstanding for any county in the state. Shown on the map is the county network and the improved state highways serving the area and providing connections with adjacent counties. Only a portion of the county Is represented In the map, the east extension toward Hampton and the southern part having , been omitted because of space requirements. Deschutes county officials not ed more than the usual milestone in the present season: The 100 mile mark in surfaced county roads was reacned. - In marking' the milestone. members of the county court. Judge C. L. Allen, E. E. Varco and A. E. Stevens, and Roadmas- ter George McAllister recalled other days, and they were not so long ago, wnen not a single mile of, any type road in the county was oiled. Then came the sur facing of U. S. 97, piece by piece. and the extension of oil east of U. S. 20 and west toward Sisters. Eventually, the county s present road system was set up and the winding roads of the past disap peared. But, with a few excep tions, an rural roads were still dusty. within the present decade, the county has made great strides in extending its system of sur faced roads, until finally in mid summer of the present year, the iuu mile mark was reached. And. county offissrs stress, the 100 mile stone Is not to be a term inal- point. More miles of oiled roads will be added next vear and 'in' other years. Deschutes countv. Judee Allen declares, is outstanding in the entire state in its system of im proved rural routes. The map ap pearing nere illustrates the man ner the rural routes augments ine arterial nignways in serving thickly settled portions of the county. Because of space limita tions, it was not possible to show the eastern part ol the county, to Millican. Brothers and Hamil ton, which is served by U. S. 20, and the southern part of the county, crossed by U. S. 97, irrigated communities in Des chutes county are especially well served by surfaced highways, as the map shows. Both the Bend and Redmond areas are well served routes leading Into rural areas. Several new routes, some ol them secondary highways, took' their place on the Deschutes county map In the past few years. One of these is the new Powell Butte secondary route. In the present year, the unit of this highway that Is in Crook county was completed, providing a new route between Bend and Prineville, through the thickly populated Powell Butte district.
