VsVi Brush Cutler Demonstrated In Lodgepoe 4rea Here -&s?r L :' ' '' 6 A ground-clearing demonstration of potential interest to the tim ber industry, farmers and conser vationists in this area was recent ly put on at the request of the U.S. Forest Service. The exhibition, which took place at the Johns-Manville sale area, that adjoins the southeast section of Crater Lake National Park, showed the use of the Marden brush cutter in clearing "slash" areas of their debris and trim mings. This was the first time in this area that such a machine had been used in this way. Two of the 12,500 pound cutter units were pulled in tandem by a D-8 cater pillar. Vern Smith, general dislrict as sistant forestet with the 1 Forest Service, said that the test was con sidered a success. The service is now considering contracting for regular handling of slash in the .Johns-Manville area by this meth od, he said. The Marden machine buries much of the slash in troughs which the blades of the machine dig. ihe troughs are valuable in ero sion control: the slash that re mains on the ground eventually rots, enriching the soil for future crops. Ihe demonstration was put on by Lloyd Ternahan, of Mitchell, Farmers! Ranchers! Stockmen! SEE JUCK for Your Truck!
