TIMBERED LANDS ARE
NEEDED FOR CROPS

The war situation has changed the
productiveness of your farm from a
personal to a national need. The crop
outlook for 1917 is not the best, and
the lncleared idle acres of many
farms in the timbered section are
needed for crops as never before.
Many different methods of clearing
are used, but there is one that every
farmer who is lacking in capital can
use, and that is the ax-and strong
arm method. Money to buy dyna-
mite or stump-puller may be lack
ing. If you can't get these and the
necessary labor, use the ak.
Fair cultivated crops may be, and
good hay and splendid pasture can
be, grown among the stumps. Re-
move the trees, brush the small
stumps, and disk the land. Get pas
ture and hay land ready.
If stumps are to be cleared out,
power should be used, either dyna-
mite or a stump-puller, or the two
in combination. Minnesota experiment
Station Bulletin 1853 gives Informal
ton as to the use of these two forms
of power, and may be had by address
sing the Office of Publications, Uni
versity Farm, St. Paul. Low grade
dynamite go per cent? may be used
for stumps that have been cut for
some time. Twenty per cent dyna-
mite is 81 a hundred cheaper than 40
per cent dynamite. A stump-puller
works best where the stumps are
small and numerous and the amount
of land to be cleared warrants the
investment.
The financing of land clearing has
been aided somewhat by law passed
by the recent legislature. This au-
thorizes township boards to buy dy-
Mantle for farmers, the farmers re-
funding the board in five annual in
stallments at per cent and giving
a first mortgage on his land as secur-
ity.-A. ]. Mcclure, University Farm,
