pany for the reduction of the
stumps and the marketing of the
by.products.
Regarding the effects of the fire
on the soil, Prof. Elliott stated that
as the soil varied in different local
tiles, and while the fire in one
place would be beneficial it might
be injurious in another. Prof.
Elliott advocated the organization
of company to clear the stump
land on a regular business basis,
and stated that all pressure posi-
BILE should be brought to bear on
obtaining aid from the state and
government in the project. He
stated that at no place in his trav-
els did he find such a promising
future as he did in Northern Idaho.

work. All contestants will be paid
for their work. The land for the
tests will be furnished by j. w.

the gin pole are burned. This pro-

the gin pole are burned. This pro-
cess, stated Mr.. Carpenter, was
worked very successfully in Wash
ington, where the large stumps are
found. Mr.. Carpenter stated that
the work had been done ranging in
price from S35 to $50 per acre.
It was learned from a number of
the speaker that the proper time to
use power on stumps was during
the spring, when the ground was
wet, as it was much more effective
at that time. Where powder is
used to loosen the stumps, that is,
to split them up, the stump puller
should follow closely before the
stump is allowed to settle in the
ground again.
The disposal of the stumps after
they have been taken out of the
ground was almost as important to
some Of the farmers, apparently, as
the pulling, as the opinion of the
various speakers seemed to differ
somewhat. Some were inclined to
favor the piling Of the stumps in
long winrows, while others favored
the piling of them in high piles,
where they were later burned.
The effect of the fire on the soil
was discussed at length, some con-
tending that it was detrimental,
while others stated that where they
had had fires and later planted to
crops that the crops had grown
much more prolific than where
there had been no fire. Others
differed on that point, arguing that
the great difficulty of burning the
soil was injurious afterwards.
j. F. Reynaud gave a very inter-
esting talk on the chemical process
OF treating stumps, defining the
various by-products which were
served from the stump, and instead
OF the burning of the stumps being
an injury to the soil, demonstrated
how they could be Consumed with
a handsome profit left. Mr.. Rev.
maud stated that the entire valley
extending down the river as far as
Laclede to Pack river, and on the
north of the city considerable
distance, could be converted from
Its present condition to very fer.

fruit ranches. He advocated the

Stump Session at Standpoint

One of the most interesting. If
not the most, and, in fact, the only
one ever held in this section OF
the northwest OF as much impor-
lance, was the last session of the
farmers institute at Standpoint,
when the question of removing
stumps from the logged-off and cut
over lands was taken up.
The meeting was opened by a few
we'll chosen remarks by Prof. K, +.
Elliott, dean of the agricultural
college at Moscow. after which the
meeting was turned over to Byron
S. Defenbach, who acted as chair
man.
Mr.. Defenbach opened his re-
marks by stating that he had prev
iously prepared no 'stump speech"
but that nevertheless he had very
good subject to discuss.
The speaker laid great stress on
the fact that the government had
appropriated large sums of money
for irrigation, conservation and
other projects, but that never in
the history of the country had one
cent been appropriated for the re-
moval of stumps from the cut-over
and logged-off lands of the great
northwest. This, stated the speak
er, is of great deal more impor-
lance to the northwest than. all the
irrigation projects that were ever
launched. Many thousands of
acres of land, which, under the
present conditions, are almost
worthless, could be converted into
fine farms and fruit lands. But
before such a Transformation can
take place it is necessary that the
stumps must be removed. This is
the most important question before
the farmers or would-be farmers OF
the northwest today.
c. 0. Carpenter stated that he
had considerable experience with a
stump-pulling device which worked
with strong donkey engine and a
gin pole. Large cables are fastened
around the stumps and the engine
put to work, when the stumps are
pulled bodily from the ground and
carried to the gin pole, where they
are piled considerable distance
high, after which the stumps witt
