long ago taken the place of rail fences, although one can still find some 

 rail fences in existence. Old settlers tell of much wood being formerly 

 used as fuel by the railroads at their inception. For domestic use wood 

 is still the chief fuel in the county. Formerly most fuel wood was cut 

 in "full cord wood" length, now it is nearly all cut in "block wood" 

 length. Not much pole wood is sold. So far as I know, very little 

 White County timber gets to manufacturing establishments. 



VI. SUMMARY. 



With the completion of this thesis it is not meant that the final 

 word on Trees of White County has been said. More observation is 

 necessary to complete ranges within the county, and more material is 

 necessary to determine some species definitely. Very likely a few species 

 have escaped observation. 



Sixty-two out of 125 trees reported for the State have been found 

 in White County; 17 small trees or large shrubs are noted, in addition 

 to two new varieties for the State. 



The likelihood of a new willow and a new thorn for the State are 

 mentioned. A new variety of willow is also reported. 



The peculiar oak found northeast of Brookston needs further inves- 

 tigation, as do all of the above, and other species as well. 



Lack of time has precluded further data being included.
