286 Forestry Eichihition at Norimclu 1011. 



The competition in Class 8 was for Tree Guards, pre- 

 sumably for park trees or for exceptionally valuable hedgerow 

 trees, for plantation trees should not require such protection. 

 The first prize in this class was awarded to Mr. C. Coltman 

 Rogers for an exceedingly neat guard fence constructed of 

 light wooden rails and wire netting ; the second to Messrs. 

 R. & R. Neaverson ; the H.C. ticket going to Mr. E. R. Pratt for 

 a simple but useful guard constructed of outside slabs of spruce. 



Class 9 was for SECTIONS OP FENCING CONSTRUCTED 

 MAINLY OF Wood, and there were four competitors. In 

 this case the competition was open to tradesmen as well 

 as to estate employees. Messrs. Armstrong, Addison & Co., 

 of Sunderland, were awarded the silver medal for section 

 lengths of variously designed wooden fences, both untreated 

 and treated with antiseptics such as creosote and also by 

 a process similar to burnetising, the advantage claimed for 

 the latter method being that the timber can be painted over 

 any time after treatment if desired, whereas creosoted timber 

 cannot be painted. 



Bronze medals were awarded to Messrs. English Bros., 

 Wisbech, for various types of useful post and rail and trian- 

 gular pale fences, and to The Stanley Underwood Company 

 for chestnut pale fencing suitable for hunting districts. One 

 special type of fencing constructed l)y the latter company is 

 provided with " bolt " holes at intervals to permit of foxes 

 getting through. 



In Classes 10 and 11 for specimens showing the effects on 

 the timber of gi-owing the trees in dense and open stands, and 

 for specimens showing the quality of timber grown in different 

 soils and situations, there was only one entry, namelj^, that by 

 Mr. Morgan P. Price, Til)berton Court, Gloucester, of seven 

 specimens of Scots pine timber grown on different soils. For 

 this the Judges awarded a bronze medal.
