they suddenly get "that tired feeling"
and the stump is allowed to remain, for
wears, perhaps. The only way to clear
the land of stumps is to do it. Machines
are good, but every one is not in posi-
ton to have one for pulling his stumps.
Then why not try the plan of co-opera-
ton in this direction as in a multitude
of others? A number of ranchers in
one section could club together, pur-
chase the machine that seems to have
the greatest merit and help each other
pull the stumps in the entire section.
This, in our opinion, would speedily
dispose of the stumps in that section
and make the land more valuable in
crop-producing properties and in market
value.
Every thinking rancher in the west
ern part of the state knows that stump
land is among the very richest in the
state. unless it is so located that it is
full of clay or other undesirable in
gradients In most sections where the
Law of the land is not too much broken
there is thick layer of peat where
the tall trees have stood for ages. This
soil has been formed by the decay of
dead leaves and brush and never been
touched by fire. In Snonomish, Skagit
and Whatcom counties peat lands are
numerous, and it is comparatively easy
task to clear such land of trees and
stumps. When this is done the land
can be put into crops with less amount
of preparation than can other classes
of land. In spite of all this, the writer
has seen acres upon acres of such land
in those counties thickly covered with
the blackened stumps.

Puyallup Berries in Grand Forks.

The fruit growers of the Puyallup
and Sumner districts had a special
meeting in Puyallup on February 10,
and it was a most enthusiastic gather
ing. The growers association called
it's members together to consider plans
for exhibiting and selling Puyallup ber-
ries at the st. Louis fair and to deter
mine on some course to secure reduc-
ton on freight rates to Missouri river
points They want to secure the same
favorable rates from Puyallup as are
enjoyed by points not so favorably To-
Gated. Another reason for calling the
association together was the fact that
w. K. Nash, of Nash Bros, Grand
Forks, N. D., was in Puyallup and
would speak to the members. Nash
Bros. handled the greater part of the
associations output sent to the Grand
Forks market last year. Mr.. Nash
made an interesting talk on the Puy-
allup berries, showing that their inva-
sion into the Dakotas, Michigan and
Minnesota awakened quite a strong
feeling among the berry growers of the
Long Lake country, near Minneapolis,
who had previously wholly supplied the
markets of that section. A fight to
hold said markets was begun, and will
be continued through the coming sea-
son. But Mr.. Nash says the Long Lake
berries are not so good nor so large as
the Puyallup fruit, and Notwithstanding
the fight of the Long Lake growers,
many more Puyallup berries can be han
died the coming season than last, and
at higher prices. He says, though the
Puyallup berry has to travel 1900 miles
