Char-pit stump burning method tested in Washington fields
Fred Lockley reports from the April Pacific Monthly on the char pit method used by the Agricultural College of Washington to clear logged lands. Stumps 12 to 15 inches are pulled out or burned in place with bark removed and dry kindling around the trunk, earth heaped over, and a controlled fire lasting six days to two weeks. The process, supervised by Prof H W Sparks, shows low cost and effective stump destruction when larger stumps cannot be removed by pulling.
