• SOD. MOVEMENT ,IN KIN•LOSS
Stewart `Lavin has. advanced a
ver• plausible er olanatioi for
y p �_ ,
that .sod removal ` pheno'mena" .on
The farm of Milan Moore in Kin-
''lOss Township; where ,a••strip',of
sod • about' ..12 . feet long;': '3 feet
Wide and nearly' a foot deep,• was
lifted cleanly • from the, `ground.
and ''deposited nearly 100 feet
away.
Stewart says he has seen ' such
occurrences •before:. They .:occur.
• generally in a low spot, '.and 'of
