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

For the figure with full bust and large hips
and thighs, the Rengo Belt alone is especially
adapted. The bust is supported firmly, yet
with absolute comfort, and the corset does
not ride upon the figure and force the bust
upward as many of the old-style, straight
front corsets were bound to do. Its extreme
length on the abdomen hips and thighs pre
