"Redwood is light, but relative to its weight it is one of the strongest woods known. The wood is sufficiently strong for general house-construction purposes, and in addition, is light and durable.

These properties, as well as its ability to keep its shape, make Redwood especially valuable to poultrymen, since it is essential that the joints in incubators and other poultry yard appliances resist rot and keep tight in all kinds of weather."

Circul,ar No. 2 70, University of California, entitled "A Farm Septic Tank," says of Redwood, "The baffe boards, preferably of Redwood, which lads indefinitely, should be thoroughly water soaked, and the ends trimmed so that they fit loosely into the slots in the tank walls."
