USE FOR BLIGHTED WOOD
Chestnut Timber Not in Its First
Years of Life Still Available
for Many Purposes.
Blighted chestnut timber resists
decay as well as timber from healthy
| trees, and barked dead wood is much
| more durable than unpeeled live
wood, so far as a three-year test will
determine, according to the forest
, service. The blight is otherwise
| known as the chestnut-tree bark dis
ease. In 1913 poles, ties and posts
cut from blight-killed, blight-infect
ed and healthy chestnut trees were
carefully tagged and placed in posi
tion. A recent annual inspection of
the experiments determined that all
of the material was in good condi
tion except for deterioration of sap
wood and knots. The sapwood of
chestnut is not durable, and that on
ties and on butts of poles and posts
and on unbarked posts is now mostly
decayed. Bound posts cut from
small limby trees suffer early decay

The chestnut durability experi
ments to date indicate that blight
killed or infected trees yield timber
just as durable as that from healthy
trees. In fact, a piece from a sea
soned dead tree is more durable
than an unbarked piece from a live
tree. No one should therefore hesi
tate to use timber from blight-killed
or infected trees for purposes for
which chestnut is suitable and dur
ability is a consideration.

BRITAIN PREPARING AIRPLANES.
Rear Admiral Peary, U. S. N., is
responsible for a very remarkable
statement concerning preparations
in Europe for extending the scope
and power of aerial warfare.
“Development of the airplane will
mean a revolution in travel and com
merce as it has meant in “war,” Rear
Admiral Peary said. “In France
there are said to be more men in
the aviation service than are in the
army of the United States, and in
Great Britain more than in our
navy. Germany is said to have 10,
000 airplanes. Great Britain is pre
paring for an aviation army of 160,
000 men with a fleet of 20,000 air
planes. The time is near when the
air service will be more important
than the army and navy combined.
It is the belief of many statesmen
that the decision in the great war
may come in the air.”
