Pine Could Replace Cedar for Pole Timbers Says Agriculture
A new bulletin on Rocky Mountain woods notes abundant lodgepole pine stands in the Rockies and coast ranges could substitute for western red cedar in telephone and power pole timbers. With preservative treatment, pine may outlast cedar in many markets, despite past decay issues. tests show pine equal or stronger in strength and stiffness, including fire killed timber. Engelmann spruce also offers potential as a pole material in southern districts where timber is scarce.

Calves are separated at birth and fed with pasteurized milk from mixed herds, with over two hundred calves tested three times showing no tuberculous infection. The approach suggests economic viability and potential human health applications.
