STUMPS AND ROCKS FLY
AT KITICM SATURDAY
Demonstration School Being
Held at Turtle River Today:

Stumps and rocks flew at Kitichi
Saturday and Manager A. w. Stone,
OF the land clearing association, graft
fed the curiosity of a number who
had gathered at the clinic, which was
held in the Kitichi school, by shooting
t.up in the air" a big snag about 80
feet high and four and half feet
in diameter. The blasting demon
stration was well attended and was
conducted on the farms of c.. G..
Smith and Hogg. Operations were not
confined to stump blasting, as some
large rocks were blasted to show the
method of removing rocks from land.
Nowhere have farmers reduced
their original estimate of land they
were intending to clear this summer.
On the contrary, Manager Stone
states that it is very common to have
farmers come to him and advise that
they had pledged 10 acres. but have
changed their mind and will clear 20
or 80 and some as high as 40 acres.
5tsMany have doubled and trebled their
original estimate" said Mr.. Stone.
All appointments were kept last
week with the: exception Of Silver
Lake. Weather and road conditions
prevented holding the school Of in
structions there. The demonstrations
are ordinarily attended by Is to IS
farmers and any who are not present
are to be instructed by those who at
tend. Mr.. Stone is very optimistic
over the entire campaign. r. o. -$s.
Today demonstration school is be-
ing held at Turtle River, tomorrow
one will be held at Tenstrike, and
Wednesday at Hines. That will COM
plete the demonstrations for this
week, the balance Of the week being
spent in making final arrangements
for the big demonstration May ~ at

EALE MARKET FOR
LUMBER SHOWS MCREASE
Prices Exhibit Greater Firm
ness While Production Re-
aF-@S4-s@s5 ty.=". - &4is
mains Below Shipments

The wholesale lumber market con-
tinues to show promising activity,
says the American Lumberman, the
producers feel more optimistic each
week., For the week ended April 20,
mills reporting to the Southern Pine
Association booked order for 20 per
cent more per mill than ever report
ed for the corresponding weeks of
other years. This does not mean
that the week was the best in the his
tory of the industry, for it was not,
but it does mean that buying is stead
lily increasing and now, at a season
when business generally Stacks of
somewhat, it continues to mount.
Next to the southern pine market
the Douglas fir market shows the
greatest activity. Stocks on the Pa
cific coast, as they are in the South,
are broken and buyers have difficulty
in placing mixed car business. The
most encouraging feature of the fir
market lis that the rail, trade-buy-
ing by retailers in the middle West
and East-shows an increase. 4
The hardwood market Is possibly
not quite as active as 1t has been, but
with the shortage of stock, particu-
larly the upper. grades, prices remain
firm and are somewhat above the
level which prevailed five weeks ago.
Records compiled by a group Of rep
resentative Michigan hardwood
manufacturers show that on the ba-
sis of present prices they are selling
hardwood lumber at $7:15 thous-
and feet legs than the cost Of pro-
-duction. From this it may easily be
seen that advances would not be un-
likely. ..- s-z.s +
The demand for the pines produced
in the west and for redwood and cy-
press shows Improvement. 1t is COM
ing very largely from the retail trade
and in many cases is for badly mix
ed cars which the manufacturers are
not any too eager to accept.
Prices on the whole exhibit great
er firmness. Production remains at
a comparatively low level and is be-
low shipments. r.

STATE UNIVERSITY AIDS
FARMERS CLEARING LAND
Cooperative Projects in North
to Furnish Data for 80 Per
Cent of CUT Over Area

Staff men of the land clearing sec
ton of the agricultural engineering
division Of the state university are
cooperating with six cut-over land
farmers Of Northern Minnesota to
determine the cost Of clearing land,
the best methods of preparing newly
cleared land for cultivation and the
Hind Of crops that can be raised first
to the best advantage on the types OF
soils encountered in the north.
The trials are to be made this
year and next on acre lots near Be-
midi, Walker, Little Fork, Boy Riv-
er, McGrath and Blackjack. The
BemidjK acre is jackpine sand; the
Walker acre heavy sandy loan soil
with light clay subsoil; the Little
Fork acre clay loan soil with heavy
clay subsoil; the Boy River acre
mixed sand and clay with heavy sub
soil; McGrath acre clay loan soil
with heavy subsoil, and the Black
duck acre a straight clay subsoil
Minnesota Geological Survey data go
to show that combined the six acres
are representative Of soil consitu-
ents of 9O.5 per cent of the tillable
portion of northern Minnesota.
One-third Of every acre Is to be
disked only; one-third plowed super
ficially, and the remaining third
plowed deeply. Oats and barley are
to be planted; two plots Of each on
the disked and plowed tracts so that
the plots may be checked against
each other when the crops have ma
tured. In addition, cultivated crops,
such as potatoes, rutabagas and sun
flowers, are to be grown on two plots
on each of the disked and plowed
tracts. 49,. ...5'.r go.
Under the cooperative plan agreed
upon the farmers furnished the dy-
Mantle, caps and fuses for blowing
out the stumps. They must also pile
and burn the debris, prepare the land
for the reception of the seed and at
tend to the cultivated crops and the
harvest at the end of the season. The
university men contracted to blast
the stumps and to keep correct rec
ords of the labor and amount of ma
terial used. The state Is to furnish
all seed and do all the planting. At
the end of the season the state is to
have the products raised on six
square yards Of each plot from which
to compute the yield per acre, the re-
naming produce to go to the farmers.
