LKGK, March 26. Bmall farmers
can clear 10 acres of logged off land
a year In spare times without detri
ment to thb usual farm work by tho
combined methods developed and
tried out by II. D. Kcudder, head of
farm management at O. A. C.
"The cost of clearing can bo reduc
ed approximately CO per cent, says
Proressor Scuddcr. "When It Is con
sldered thnt tho cropped area or tho
Mate. In not Increasing, thn need for
development or now acreage can
readily bo neon."
Tho new and cheaper method Is a
combination or stump-pullers nnd
powder with stump burners for the
larger stumps.
Former methods havo not only
been costly but largely unsuccessful
In promoting settlement of logged off
lauds. Just an soon as the cost
mounted to $100 per aero clearing
largely ceased, because lands already
cleared could be bought for less.
Actual cost sheets havo been kept
for tho new method over a period ot
four years and show that tho cost
tig uro is not a mere guess.
Demonstrations of tho new method
will be made by tho college In coop
oration with county agents wherever
sufficient Intorcst warrants.
