Dear Mr. Andrews: : é PSE Il wonder if you will explain something that has puzzled me since I moved here seven years ago. On the bank of the river near the house: that I bought stood a dead pine that was something of an eyesore, so I cut it down. I was‘amazed at the hardness of it—thought it would break my axe. Since then 1 have seen lots of this so-called “lighter” wood which is being harvested here on a lareg scale and shipped to distilling plants where the resins are extracted,4-—— About two years later 1 cut 4 “lighter” wood. all right so long as Charlie doesn’t get sick.

It was about a foot in diameter. There was lots of sap And pitch in it, so I let it lie a year to dry out and provide more “lighter” wood for my fireplace. But a year later it was ptinky, with no trace of hard ‘core. About this time a big old pine some two feet in diameter was cut near my grove, at the edge of the wood. It. lay a year before it was cut up, and it, too, was punky and almost useless for firewood. My helper s ond growth trees which hadn't developed the hard core, but they , were big trees and old.
