Excerpt from Progress in Chestnut Pole Preservation In former experiments it was found that poles to all appearances alike showed wide divergence in their behavior during seasoning and preservative treatment. The differences were supposed to be due to the conditions of growth, but those conditions had not been exhaustively studied; hence, in the later experiments studies were made of the trees from which the poles were out.
