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
