THE HERMISTON HERALD, HERMISTON, OREGON. Thursday, January 14, 1937 Creosote Makes Stronger Posts Preservative Treatment an Aid in Making Inferior Glory Vs. Undernourishment. Material Last. ANTA MONICA, CALIF - Because their dictators are S piling up armaments and build ing up armies at a rate un precedented, the German peo ple must, it appears, go on ra tions, cutting down their daily consumption of breadstuffs and , fats, with the prospect of still I | more stringent restrictions. But their overlords—a reasonably well-nourished lot, to judge by their | photographs —keep I right on preaching that such compul sory undernourish ment is all for the greater glory of the Vaterland. I know of but one historic parallel to match this.- It is to be found in Mother Goose, where it is poetically set forth: There was a piper Irvin S. Cobb had a cow And he had naught to give her So he pulled out his pipes and played her a tune And bade the cow consider. Signs of Disapproval. () NCE, in Montana, I heard two — cowboys talking about the fath er of the sweetheart of one of them. “I've got a kind of a sneaking idea that Millie's paw don’t care deeply for me,” said the lover. “What makes you think so—some thing he said?” “No, because he don’t never say nothing to me, just sniffs. But the other night I snuck over there to see Millie, and, as I was coming away, I happened to look back and the old man was shoveling my tracks out of the front yard.” The archbishop of Canterbury is likely to wake up any morning and find the British public shoveling his tracks out of the front yards. • * • International “Messifications.” TUST about the time the contest- • ing groups in Spain lose the twenty or thirty confusing names the correspondents have hung on them and resolve themselves into the army that’s going to take Ma drid not later than 3 o’clock tomor row afternoon and the army that’s going to keep Madrid until the cows come home, a fresh complication breaks out in China. General Chang gets into a mixup with General Chi ang, possibly on the ground that he’s a t- rographical error, and the red fore. . of the north get all twist ed up with the white army of the north and the pink army of the north by northeast and so on and so forth, until the special writers run out of colors. Just one clear point stands out of the messification. When the dust clears away some small brown brothers wearing the Japanese uni form will be found sitting on top of the heap.

Even willow and pin oak fence posts can be made to last 15 years or more if given a preservative treatment with coaltar creosote. If fence posts are treated with preservatives, inferior species re- moved from the farm woodland in improvement cuttings may be util ized and the more valuable species left to grow timber. Treating is not a difficult operation, and a treating plant can be set up easily at little expense. Cost of material for treat ment varies from 6 to 10 cents a post. Since green or split posts will not do for treating, the posts should be cut a year in advance, peeled and stacked loosely off the ground to season thoroughly. The 100-gal- Ion drum in which creosote is ob tained can easily be made into a post-treating tank by cutting out the head and setting the drum on a brick or stone base so that a fire can be built beneath it. A good thermometer that will register up to the boiling point is the only other essential equipment. After 20 to 25 four-inch posts are in the drum, enough creosote is added to bring the level to about three feet. The creosote is then heated to 190 to 300 degrees Fah renheit, with this temperature maintained for five hours and the creosote kept at the three-foot level. The fire is then drawn and the tank completely filled with creosote. Af ter cooling for ten hours, the posts are removed, the upper ends dipped in the creosote, then stood up to dry and the process repeated on another group of posts. Species of trees providing posts that require treatment are pines, hickories, maples, poplars, willows, red oak, black oak, pin oak, syca more, gum, American elm, ash, basswood, buckeye, ironwood and birch. Species providing moderately durable posts which are improved by treatment are red elm, black cherry, butternut, sassafras, arbor vitae and tamarack. Those durable without treatment are hedge, black locust, mulberry, red cedar, white oak, post oak, burr oak, honey lo cust and catalpa. Terracing Is Effective in Controlling Erosion Terracing is the ultimate and most effective method of control ling erosion on cultivated fields, as serts a writer in the Missouri Farm er. A combination of terracing and contour or strip farming reduces the soil losses to a negligible amount. No part of a terrace gra dient should exceed 0.4 foot in 100 feet and the total length of a ter race should never exceed 2,000 feet. Flatter grades and shorter lengths are much better. None of the ter race slopes should ever be steeper than one foot vertical rise to four feet horizontal run. The top terrace should always be constructed first, and the others in consecutive order, down the slope. The provision of suitable outlets for terraces is very important. Ar tificial outlets are usually more sat isfactory than natural channels as they can be so constructed as to prevent channel erosion. The essen tial steps in gully control in order of importance are: stopping head growth, prevention of floor scouring and side erosion, and filling of the gully. A diversion ditch above the head of the gully will often stop head growth; otherwise an engi neering structure at the gully head is essential. Rationalizing the Calendar.
