NOTES FROM YOUR
EXTENSION SERVICE
By Lew Hanks
With the snow melting a lot of
things are showing up. Its still
clean up time around the farm.
I’ve been surprised at all the tools
and equipment that are showing
up after being lost since last sum
mer in the tall grass. This year
I’m going to get a tool and equip
ment shed built or else. At the re
quest of several farmers 1 have
some quotations on treated cedar
poles suitable for pole frame
buildings. Costs range from $8.60
for a 20 foot pole with a 6 inch
top to $20 for a 30 foot pole with
an 8 inch top. These prices are
dockside at Seattle. We can also
use native spruce poles if you
treat them. Recommended treat
ment are the use of Zinc chloride
and sodium chromate under the
double diffusion method or else
soaking them in pentachlorophe
nol and oil. Fence posts should
also be treated- Its not good busi
nes to spend all the time and
money necessary to build a fence
with poles that will only last 3
to 5 years when by treating them
vou can triple their life. Besides
that its pretty tough to replace
can patch the wire when the
moose break it but if you have
a string of five or six posts to
replace right now, you’ve had it.
Information or treatment is avail
able at your Extension office.
Think about it when you abase
cows next week.
