[AT] 100 year old stumps are nasty

[John Cullom]

My late grandfather always used those red cedar trunks for fence posts. He 
died back in 1987, & most of the posts he set from long before are still 
there. The trees were rather plentiful too, as it seemed the birds would 
pick the berries, then deposit the seeds whilst sitting on the barbed wire 
fences. Eventually there'd be a whole line of cedar trees from which to 
choose. He even used one each year for a Christmas tree.
