Cutting willows down will not kill
them. Osier beds can be cut for a
great many years for the OILERS with
out doing the roots any harm. The
only way to get rid of willows is to
root out each bush. The easiest way
to do this is to hitch a chain round
the bush near the bottom and then
drag it out by the roots with a horse,
after loosening the bush by cutting
some Of the main roots with an ak.
Many acres have been cleared in this
way in Manitoba, and It is found the
most convenient way Of doing the
work. If the bushes are not very
large the land may be burnt over and
then plowed with a heavy scrub pillow.
