Oregon Land Clearing viii Be De-
monStrated.
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
Wallis. Ore.-The new Oregon land
clearing methods will be demonstrate
ed in several county agent counties
Of Oregon this year. 1t is, says H. D.
Scudder, head of farm management
at 0. A. c., the simplest. cheapest
and most practical method yet devils
ed.
The new method is a modified
char pitting process in which the use
OF a simple contrivance thoroughly
fires the stump, which is then con-
sumed by the char pit" says Profess
sor Scudder. THE failure Of the
char pitting plan is because begin
ners have failed to fire the stump
completely. Thorough firing is as
sured by the new method, and thus
makes the char pit successful even
with beginners"
Costs of clearing have been PROV
ed by actual records to4have been cut
from 500 to not more than $50 per
acre, by use of the Oregon system.
Another advantage of its use is the
better condition in which the land is
let for farming.
