Test on Fir Stumps Shows They Can Be Destroyed Cheaply LojtsTcd Off Lands F.aslly Cleared by Boys. It Is Asserted. T'HEHALIS. Wash.. Sept. IS. (Spe cial.) Chehalis Is now the center of an Interesting experiment in land;cltaring. Recently, through the offices of Secre tary Merrill, of the Chehalis Cltlsens" Club, an arrangement was made with Harry Thompson, of the Vnlted State Department of Agriculture, with head quarters al Seattle, and Professor H. W. Spark's, farm demonstrator of the State College, to conduct some experi ment with the char pit process of burning out stumps on logged-off landa. The work has Just been com pleted at the farm of Henry Dupertuis, near Chehalis. One hundred fir stumps, from two to four feet in diameter, were kept burn ing In this test, and an accurate ac count kept of labor. Stumps were com pletely destroyed and roots burned out at an average coet of 50 cents per stump. This voluntary work of the Citizens" Club of Chehalis w-lll prove of great value 19 Western Washington and Ore gon, as It establishes the great value of tlie charplt burning method of clearing logged-off lands. The process works most effectively on clay soil. The method has two valuable fea tures. First. It can be successfully conducted without the high-priced skilled labor required for the blasting powder and donkey engine process. Boys from 14 to 1 years old can do the work. Second, the charplt burning process leaves highly fertilized seed beds for grasses, grains. berries or other fruits, whereas the more expen sive and dangerous blasting method tears large holes In the ground an.l lifts the hsrdpan to the surface, which process reoulres many applications of barnvard fertilizers to restore partial fertility. Photographs taken on the farm of Mr. Dupertuis. where he has heretofore used the charplt process, show that wherever a etumn was burned ' out there was invariably a heavier growth of grain or grass than on adjoining ground. Fruit trees planted over such a spot showed an unusual growth as compared with others. Mr. Thompson's report will be issued later in a bulletin on Lewis County by the United States Department of Agri culture, which can be obtained direct or through the Citizens" Club of Che halls. Secretary Merrell has arranged with Mr. Thompson and Professor Sparks to give demonstrations of the charplt method of stujnp-bumlng as follows: On Friday. September 16. at the rotate Training School at Chehalis: Saturday. September 17. at Napavine. Wash., at the meeting of the Lewis County Good Road Association. and during the Southwest Washington State Fair. ad Joining the grounds, midwsy between Chehalis and Centralis. September 19 to 24. all of which In expected to at tract much Interest. NEHALEM PIONEER DEAD lames William Wolkrr Resident of Oregon Evrr Since 18 15. ASTORIA. Or.. Sept. 1.",. (Special.)
