52. Beech occurs scatteringly all over Georgia, usually on rich moist slopes or bottom lands. It endures partial shade; and when forestry is developed to the extent that it has been developed in other countries, this ability to endure shade may be used to grow a crop of beech under stands of thin-topped kinds that do not cast a dense shade. 53. Chestnut, CASTANEA DENTATA. The leaves are ob- long lance-shaped, with coarse teeth, corresponding to the ends of the veins. They are 6 to 9 inches long... and 2 to 3 inches wide. The male flowers are in catkins, 6 to 8 inches long when grown. The fruit is a spiney burr. 54. Chestnut wood weighs about 28 pounds to the cubic foot. It is easily split. It lasts well in contact with the ground. It is used for posts, vine-yard stakes, and bridge sills. The durability of the wood in contact with the ground is due to the presence of tannic acid. The extraction of acid from chestnut for tanning purposes has become a con- siderable industry in recent years.
