DRY ROT
Of all kinds of rot which destroys
' timber,' that called dry rot Is the
most insidious and develops with the
greatest rapidity, according to C.
J. Humphreys, pathologist of the
U. 8., Forest Products Laboratory,
which, is directing attention to the
Importance of decay prevention as
a part of its activities during Am
erican forest week, April 27 to May
8. In adiscusslng dry rot Dr. Hum
phreys says:
"Dry rot is an indoor fungus pri
marily. Once If gains entrance into
a building, within a single year the
floor and lowed portions of the walls
may become a crumbling mass of
wood unfit for further service. In
sheds for the storage of lumber dry
rot developing in the floors will
pread rapidly into any materials In
contact.
"None of the common woods of
the ' United States are Immune to
dry Tot; even heart cypress and
oak crumble to dust under its ac
tion, sometime within? six months.
Tarred roofing and building papers
also fall a ready prey, and even
mineral shingles composed of cement
and asbestos have, been known to
warp and discolor when in contact
with dry-rotting wood.
"The dry rot fungi gain their
same and their distinction from the
fact that they are frequently found
in wood far from any apparent mois
ture supply. In reality they do not
grow without moisture and are as
powerless as any other fungus to
Infect thoroughly dry 'wood. Given
moist wood in which to start, they
are able to make their way a sur
prisingly long distance in dry tim
bers, drawing the water they need
from the moist wood or Boll through
a conduit system of root-like strands
One of the most dangerous of the
dry. rot fungi sometimes produces
water conducting strands the size
of one's wrl3t. These could be eas
ily be mistaken fro root or vine
growths. They originate at the
ground and grow upwards into the
first floor suports, conducting mois
ture to the wood as they grow and
spread. Tiny fungous threads then
thoroughly permeate the moistened
wood and soon utterly destroy It.
"Dry rot Infections are hard to
radlcato from a building on ac
count of their Insldlousness and the
large areas munly -Involved,- Very
. often ' the tugus extends up Insldo
the walls and attacks doors and win-J
dbw frames at wqll as studding and

in ine uiuieu otun-a
ht trimmed in whit
other timber". Sometimes the sec
ond story is reached. In lumber
sheds the fungus frequently runs
up t'.ie posts and spreads from these
to lumber piled In conact.
'The thing to do In case of cay
dry rot outbreak Is to make, a care
ful examination of the premises and
remove every trace o( the fungus
or the decayed wood. The damaged
parts muct then be replaced, pre
ferably with timber wbcih has been
treated with a good wood preserva
tive. If the soil beneath tbe build
ing, or tbe foundation wall, appear
to be overgrown with t'oe fungus, a
sprinkling with some fungicide solu
tion such as coal tar creosote, car-
bolinium, zinc chloride, or sodium
fluride Is advisable. If earlier de
fects in construction- are then cor
rected, such as insufficient venti
lation, contact, between timber and
ground, leaky roofs, poor plumbing,
and any other factors which permit
to become wet, the householder need
have little tear of further infection.
'Every step in tbe eradication
must be thorough and careful, how
ever, for traces of the fungus left
in any portion of the building
where - thetlmbers are moist will
continue to develop and spread to
new timbers, and eventually cause
furaher trouble. This precaution is
particularly important, for the dry
rot fungi during their development
will have carried many gallons of
water upward into the building and
wetted many of the timbers so they
are soaked and dripping, and hence
susceptible to further infection."
DOWN FROM ALGOMA
Earl Pearson, principal of the
Algoma school, has been visiting
with his father, A. G. Pearson, of
the Sixth Street Lumber company
the past few days while he has been
convalescing from an attack of in
fluenza. As soon as school is out
Pearson will join the office force
of tho Sixth Street company.

to his wholesale connection handling

ROMANCE
The car was parked on tho
west side of Klamath Lake.
A fnlnt breeze was sighing
through the pines; tho rising
moon throw a wavy path of
silver across the bosom of tho
lake. A sense of unity, of one-
ness, each with the other, nnd
with the mysterious night hold
them enthralled. For a long 4
time there was no sound but
tho faint slnp of tho waves on
the sandy beach, tho breeze
through tho pines. Finally sho
stirred faintly against his
shoulder, and turned her faco 4
4 up to him. She was exquisite-
ly dolicate, fraglly beautiful In
the half light.
