of every woodland owner, with
an axe and chemicals which can
be bought at most hardware
and seed stores.
The axe is used to cut into
the tree so the chemicals can
be effectively used. It is best to
cut down trees under five
inches in diameter, leaving a
“V”-notch in the stump. The
“V”-notch is made to hold the
chemicals. The chemicals help
kill the tree and also keep it
from sprouting back.

fate crystals and 2,4, 5-T.
Ammonium sulfamate can be
used dry, or mixed with water.
To use dry, put one heaping
tablespoon full on each notch
ed stump, or the same amount
in each cup on a tree as de
scribed above.
For liquid solutions, mix two
pounds of ammonium sulfamate
crystals to one gallon of water;
one gallon of 2,4,5-T to 50 gal
lons of water; ar one gallon of
2.4.5-T to 20 gallons of diesel
fuel or burnt motor oil. Use
a red stain in these mixtures so
vou can readily see which trees
and stumps have been treated.
Use an oil can or spray can
with the liquids so it can be
poured directly on to the cut.
On girdles and stumps, pour it
liberally on the exposed por
tions. If frilling or cupping is
used, fill these up with the so
lution.
The tree absorbs the chemical,
and dies. Larger trees deterio
rate gradually, and the falling
pieces usually are not large
enough to seriously damage the
young trees coming up under
them. Also, by leaving them
standing, you do not have large

areas taken up with felled
trees and brush.
By using 2,4,5,-T in oil, trees
can also be killed by spraying
them heavily from the ground
up to about two feed above the
ground, but this is the most ex
pensive method.
When you are weeding out
these cull trees, keep in mind
that you might also want to go
hunting later, so leave an oc
casional tree for game food and
shelter.
Note: Ammonium sulfamate
and 2,4,5-T are not poisonous
to livestock and other animals.
