The following species should not be barked unless the logs can be 
piled in a godown which shelters them completely from the sun and 
desiccating winds. These species will be liable to some insect attack 
with the bark on, but also will be liable to greater damage by cracking 
and splitting if the bark is removed: —

(e) Protecting the ends . — Much of the splitting and cracking of 
logs can b.e eliminated if the ends are protected from rapid drying out 
immediately after cutting. Extra expense is involved, but in the case 
of valuable woods, at least, the expenditure is justified. 
The application of a thick coat of heavy tar, pitch, or other bitu- 
minous material is most effective in preventing end drying.
