1 From Bulletin 86 of the Forest Service, by Carlos G. Bates. 
Note.— The following conclusions were drawn from the above table: (1) Highest financial returns in 
25 years. (2) Ash posts of best quality only at much greater age. (3) Best posts with closest spacing; 
without this, trees crooked, branchy, and knotty. (4) Should not be planted on dry sites, as the 
growth is too retarded.
