Wo nro botweon tho millstones of Germany's vital Interests and Great llritaln's and It will tnko something moro sub stantial than a theory or Internat ional law to keep our .rlgh(s or In torestH from holng crushed.

Sparks, formerly of Washington Stato Collego, on his farm near Vancouver, that ho Is advocating stato marketing of this mixture. Profpsaor Sparks Is tho originator ot the char-pltllng process In tho Northwest. "It Is not posslblo to burn out the stump In many soils becauso tho earth disintegrates un der heat, nnd falling down, puts out tho flro," he says. "I have been trying out several mixtures of saw dust and whlto clay, which Is hot ter than the dark clay as It rad iates tho heat, nn the sawdust burns out it leaves tho blanket por ous so thnt air can penetrate to tho fire and keep It ultvo. Nothing enn burn unless It gets nlr, and that has been tho trouble with char pit ting In n'n.uy soils, .
