CHEAP LAND CLEARING
Something That the Fathers Could
Not Have Done.

The problem OF land clearing in the most
inexpensive method possible. and one
which can be used by the man endeavor-
ing 70 make home for himself on logged
off land. is one Of first Importance in this
state SAYS THE Seattle POst-lntelil-
gencer" In Western Washington there
are great areas OF good land. with fertile
soil. admirably adapted 10 vegetable and
fruit growing and 10 dairying. lying idle
and held at low prices, because OF the eA-
pense OF reducing IL 70 cultivation; me me
this condition OF affairs exists. Western
Washington imports largely the VeSe-
tables, the fruit and the dairy products
which IL consumes. Yet few acres under
intensive cultivation here will bring larger
net returns than the quarter-sectiOn farm
Of the northern prairie states.
In the neighborhoOd OF Arlington par
tial solution OF the problem or clearing
land cheaply has been found in the use OF
gasolene engines. equipped with cables ana
drums. What can be done with this equip
ment is shown in the experience of one
farmer, recorded by correspondent OF TINS
newspaper. With a gasolene engine or
local construction and with the assistance
Of his two sons a farmer living near that

ment OF a dairy farm, on which twenty

netting $50 a month during the time spent
In clearing.
While success has been had with other
methods OF clearing land. such as the char
ring process. which requires no expensive
equipment, the fact appears 20 be that for
quick work the best results have followed
the use OF the donkey engine either that
OF the logging type or the more modern

not little things. because they are used at
every turn in daily life. Let the boy re-
member also that in addition TO courage

ant Commander Muffin anxiously inspected
the pair OF turbines, the starboard one of
which had given no trouble whatever in
its removal. whereas the refractory port
engine had proved an eighty-day Job. And
what damage TO the great wheels did this
eagerly awaited inspection disclose?
No damage at all Not a blade stripped
from the rotor; not a single part of the
turbine out of alignment. Uncle Sam had
wanted TO see how the wheels went around,
and il was apparent at a glance that the
wheels had been going around perfectly.
Indeed, there was nothing more to do than
TO reassemble the parts whose disjointure
had proved so difficult. Early in August
the turbines were carefully put together
again. the great hole through the after
decks of the North Dakota was filed and
officers ana men joyfully prepared for the
cruise to the scene OF the Atlantic feet 3
fall battle practice off the Virginia Capes.
There won't be a board OF inquiry ap-
pointed to find out what was wrong in the
inwards OF the North Dakota. Uncle Sam
can't pass the buck to Lieutenant Com
mander Murfn. an admirable officer who
handled the engines a year and a half
without a days work needed in repairs and
whose ingenious methods at last won a
victory over the recalcitrant steel shells.
Nor can the government force the Fore
River Shipbuildng Company TO pay the
bill The battleship was tested, passed on
and accepted. H. indeed. it is a fact that
the firm fitted the inclosing bowls around
the turbine too tightly. there is no come
