CLEARING sr~r:stio: 3
When considering future cleaning
wort, on farr's in the Valley, .it
may be well to have in mind,, the
follow!nr. suggestions, made by
the Alesha Fire Control Service:
I, The farmers should enter the
area to be cleared and remove there
from all material which will be of
use or value to him. If the area
contains merchantable spruce timber
(sawlogs, props, etc.), he should
fell these trees buck them into
standard commercial lengths and
remove from the area for docking
alon ‘ the roads or for directhaul
ing to the sawmill or other point
of consumption accordir - to the
sale agreement. Local mill-men will
undoubtedly bo rioro than lad to
supplement their present mill sots
with logs that they can purchase
/alley. I,-. - ' •
props are a good market outlet for
some of the smaller material on the
• • . . 1 wood both for the far
mer hi.- self and. for the power plant
cor
V s naterial s ild i
must •; removed from the area.
IT . The farmer will then fell nil
remaining. material leaving scat
tered trees for spars such, as snags
brush, unmerchantable trees', >tc".
In foiling the t^as on the area
(bohi merchantable and mmerchant
ablo) the <tumps chonId be cut as
high as possible. Tn the case

soil, leaving them lying on their
sides so that the soil nay either
dry out- and fall from the roots or
1 ■ bo washed oif by the rains*
(Or the stumps could be hauled to
the piles by means of lines from
the spars and there piled in high
piles, the skidding over thv ground
removing the dirt.)
V. The stumps should ly on their
sides through the season then be
"'ullod over to the piles that have
con started from branches and
Id. thereon."
Following those suggestions rill
