WALNUT STUMP WORTH $3.50
Weighs Nine Tons-Lumber Enough
to Make Gunstocks for
Regiment.

Junction City, Kas-A single walnut
tree stump, grubbed out on the banks
of Clark's creek, will net the Settgast
brothers, Geary county farmers, more
than $3.50.
The brothers recently purchased all
Of the walnut trees and have been
cutting them down and shipping the
timber to st. Louis and Kansas City
markets, where it commands high
prices.
The big stump weighs more than
nine tons and the portion above ground
measures fifty inches across, while the
portion that was underground was
even larger. 1t is estimated that the
huge chunk of timber would make
gunstocks enough for an entire regi-
ment.
Based on present prices, the tree of
which this stump formed the base will
bring in more than $3.50.

the advance. So far this month about
