since the warm temperature and the greater amount of moisture in 

 the outer layers of sapwood during summer favor attacks by wood- 

 rotting fungi. 



Table 7 gives the approximate cost per pole of hauling and, in 

 addition, the total cost per pole of cutting and delivering various 

 sizes, including interest at 6 per cent for one year on the money 

 invested, based upon the figures given in Table 2 for wage rates and 

 number of daily trips possible, and those on page 22 for wagonloads 

 of different sized poles.

• i Cost of cutting and hauling assumed to be: 30 cents for poles 25-35 feet long; 35 cents for poles over 

 35 feet long. 



CORD WOOD. 



The cost of cordwood cutting varies from about 90 cents to $1.25 

 per stacked cord of 4-foot wood. When oak and other tough-wooded 

 species predominate, the cost is usually higher than when chestnut is 

 the principal tree. One dollar per cord may be considered a fair 

 average for the State. 



An ordinary wagonload varies from 1 to 1J cords. By adding the 

 cost of cutting (assumed to be $1 per cord) to that given in Table 2 

 for hauling at different wage rates and distances, and including 

 interest charges for one year at 6 per cent on the money invested in 

 the operation, the approximate total costs given in Table 8 are 

 obtained.
