Oroiion I.aiul Clearing Will lie He. monst rated. Oregon Agricultural College, Cor vallis. Ore. The new Oregon land clearing methods will he demonstrat ed in several county agent counties of Oregon this year. It is. says H. D. Scudder. head of farm management at 0. A. C, the simplest, cheapest I and most practical method yet devis ed.' "The new method is a modified char pitting process in which the use of a simple contrivance thoroughly fires the stump, which is then con sumed by the char pit," says Profes sor Scudder. "The failure of the ! char pitting plan is because begin-; ners have failed to lire the stump completely. Thorough firing is as sured by the new method, and thus makes the char pit successful even with beginners." Costs of clearing have been prov ed by actual records tojiave been cut from $100 to not more than $50 per acre, by use of the Oregon system. Another advantage of its use is the 'letter condition in which the land is le't for farming. The Ail Sold the Pigs.
