vegetable that wins. Exhibits are judged for quality and compared to a
predetermined standard for each vegetable. Through interview judging
4-H'ers not only indicate their knowledge, but learn from the judge about
their project.

No easy way to destroy stumps
UNI VERSITY PARK - We have
no miracle chemical which easily
dissolves tree stumps overnight,
says' Jim Finley, Extension
forestry specialist at The Penn

As a matter of fact, there is no
economical, painless way to
remove tree stumps from yards,
especially if they are large stumps.
There are several methods to use
in removing unwanted stumps. If
the ground is being cleared tor

used, such equipment can push out
stamps quick and easily.
Sometimes this method is„
overlooked in the original planning
of the home grounds, but it may be
the most economical in the long
run.
Another method is with a stump
grinder that literally chews up the
stump. This is tairly expensive, so
consider it only for large stumps. A
tew tree surgery compames in
large cities have such equipment.
A third way to remove stumps is
to borer holes an inch or more in
diameter m the stump with a large
electric or hand drill, till the holes

4-H Judging
Next on the agenda was
discussion about the 4-H Kound-Up
and Sale scheduled for October 12
at the (Jreencastie Livestock
Market.
Weiglwn is scheduled for 8 to 9
a.m. The show will begin at 10.
3 months for the chenpcal to dif
fuse through the stump. After a 10-
day dry period in late summer or
fall, the stump can be burned out
(not guaranteed) by building a fire
over it. The stump will take from 1
to 3 weeks to burn out, depending
upon its size. Obviously, stumps
close to buildings should never be
burnt out.
Be sure to check on local bur
nings’ regulations before burning
stumps or anything else.
The simplest way for
homeowners to get rid of stumps
goes back to primitive days. A
mattock, shovel, axe, and elbow
grease is needed. Usually small
stumps can be removed in I to 2
hours. Stumps a foot or .more in
diameter may take up to half a day
of digging and chopping. '
If you have a large stump you
want to destroy, ask your county
agent for information about
chemicals that can be used.
