Xorth Carolina pine is extensively used for cross arms for electric 



. wire poles and for light railroad tics, being well suited for 

 uses after treatment with preservatives. On account of its softness 

 and susccptiliility of abrasion it can not be used as a tie for heavy 

 traffic without a tie plate. Xear the coast the timber is extensively 

 u>ed for piling; sticks of timber exceeding 100 feet in length being 

 occasionally required for this use. Treated with prose rvatives it is 

 used for street paving blocks, the heavy types of wood with not 

 an S rings to the inch being required. It .rensivcly used 



throughout the coastal plain for fuel for manufacturing as well as 

 domestic use, and to some extent for charcoal. Xear towns such mill 

 waste as is otherwise unusable is converted into fuel billets and kindling
