explanatory:
"Astoria, Ore., March 4, 1908.
"Hon. James Wilson,
Secretary of Agriculture,
,' Washington, D. C.
"Dear Sir: -The Chamber of Com
merce of Astoria, Oregon, has direct
ed me to write you asking if you
would not give us the advice of the
Agricultural Department as to what
Droducts we can grow to turn our
many thousands of acres of , cut
over stump land to the most vala
able account.
"We also ask the advice of your
Department about the best means of
clearing our lands of stumps.
"There is one Important question
which we wish at this time in this
connection to emphasize: Is there
any chemical method for removing
stumps, especially very large stumps,
the kind we have here? We ask thi
question because Mr. James H. Duke
of Matthews, Ga., has been writing
to us saying that he had a chemical
process that would cheaply and most
effectively remove our stumps. We
have conceived the Idea that if Mr.
Duke' presentation to u are of 1
substantial character that the Agrl

cultural Department might like to
know of them for the benefit they
would be to the country at large.
"As one of the great problems of
this section is to remove stumps from
the land after the timber has been
cut off, this organization requests
that vou lend us anv assistance in
your power.
"In fact, we know of many things
that can be raised off our cut-over
land to a great profit but the question
is how can we clear this stump land
in the cheapest manner," and at the
same time in the most satisfactory
manner?
"We can raise potatoes, fruits, both
lartre and small, and most of the
staple agricultural products in the
most prolific quantities but we do not
know how to take off the stumps to
start with in the manner that is com
mercially attractive
, "If the Agricultural Department
could assure us of some metfiod
whereby we could do this we would
be glad to organize a company for
that purpose or to otherwise co
operate with you in any manner you
may suggest. '
"We do not need irrigation in this
section, the climate is mild and
healthful, it scarcely ever freezing In
the cooler months and the mercury
seldom rising above 80 In the warmer.
"If you can send a representative
here to meet with us on this proposi
tion, we will call a mass meeting of
our citizen to take up and plans he
may suggest that meet with your approval"
