if i Uw of < RmvHb atcorcd by prominent or- chnrdlat ln|Hnte that the planting and cultivation of fruit treea la being resolutionIted. Although the at ten ion of farm* era haa but recently been directed In general to the uae of dynamite for varloua agricultural purpoeea, experimec4s hr.ve been going on for many years to determine ita exact efficiency and bow It can beat be used. As ia usually the case with origin nl inovations, the first horticultur ists to try out this new aid to scier-tlflc fr.rming have been those noted for their leadership in their respective fields of work. The time has come when we ran deal .not with theories but with facts—With results which prove nd- dynamtto ahonld ha aura to gat to all poaalbla Information from tha mnnufactoraiu of tha axploalva be fore attempting to nao it. Whllo It la no more dangerous to naa tham gun powder or gnoollna. It la a< poor thln« for people to fool with Ignor antly because it ia very powerful. Contrary to nr quite general be lief. dynamite doea not explode frot dropping or ordinary ahocka and will not go off spontaneously. It has to be detonated or exploded by the shcck of a priming cap which Is set off by a fuse. The fact that the most progres sive orchardUt In the country, in cluding the celebrr-ted Hale or chards of Georgia and Connecticut, are using it right along indioat-s that it is safe for any reasonably careful and inelllgent person 1 to use.

'like candv, are partlettlnrlv prompt The following results already de- af , maNe actIrl , n . av p e termined should be of interest to progressive horticulturists every where: 1st. Planting trees with dyna mite practically elimin;-4es the loss of young trees durirg the first year 2nd. Trees can be planted much more rapidly by the dynamite meth od than by the old method. 3rd. Trees planted with dyna mite come into bearing from one to two years sooner thrn those plant ed by the soil method. 4th. Trees planted by dynamite prow much more rapidly and yield much more heavily than those plant *d In the old way. One cf the chief elements of loss in orehrrd work is the loss of trees the f'rst yrpr. 5 s - H. . Pollln- ger. President Clear Creek Lumber company, Shreveport, La., stated that he used dynamite In 'blasting tha holes in which 1080 pecan trees were planted one year ago, also for planting 8,000 peach trees. He says the percentage of loss on the rt pecan trees (which are amor<g the/moat difficult to set so they will live, was r.lmost nothing compared with the loss on other trees planted in the ordinary way. . Another DOi"t 6f great iraporatnc to orfhardiats is that trees plr-nted with dynamite come into bearing much sooner than when planted by the old way. W. W. Stevens or- chardlst of Mayfield, Gg., reports | that he has been using dynamite for tree planting for eighteen or twenty years and that In the planting of peach trees by this method he gain ed two years in six as compared with the old method. In other •words he got r> much fruit from a tree planted with dynamite at iO\ir years of age as he got at six years by the old method. Mrs. John Hawley of Gfr.nts Pass, Oregon., reportts that she plants all her trees with dynamite the benefits of this method. She as a result of careful tests to show advised that nil trees be set in wet weather as this insures a stor age of moisture under the tree. This is the chief reason why plant ing trees with dynamite is benefi cial. , - As shown ir- the sectional cut herewith, trees plrnted In spaded holes must fight their way into the compact subsoil which has nev er been disturbed, whereas when planted in a dynmiite hole the ground b£ing thoroughly broken up under'the surface soil makes an easy path for the roots so that they spread out and have a Irrge area '•fwmii which to draw water and plant food. in this correction Mrs Hawley reports that |n November liHtt; she found it necessary to remove two filler trees seven months after set ting out; one of th»*se hr<l been set with .dynamite and the other with a spade. They were taker- up Vv.ith the greatest care in order to get the roots out intact, becr.use they had both been plr-nted at tk** same time under similar conditions tend the trees were equally healthy at the start. The spade set tree had p. fine bushy and vigorous tas sel of roots about a foot long. The dynamite set tree had two roots go- iP-g down some three feet or more When held out at arms length with her hand clasped rround the graft scar, the roots of the dynamited tree touched the e«rth, and it had a great quantity of medium and short growth roots. The difference 'taken at any time, day or night; do not cause diarrhocr. nausea, griping, excessive looseness, or oth er undesirable effects.

Quite a number of young folks assembled ar-d played amusing games after which refresh ments were served. Then came the voTlng contest for the prettiest girl and boy present. Tl^e winners were Miss Alvr-lee Car ter and Joc» O’Quln, the prises Wirg a lau.vJapanese tie and a gentleman’s tie. Sunday Miss Per-rl Strickland and Junior Kinsey were married. Their many friends wish them well. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Rox cf Hampton- were the guests of Miss Alvr.'.ee Carter, Friday and Satur- day. The friends and neighbors of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Utsey are sorry to learn of their move. They will re side near Weeks. Mrs. P. K. Crosby r-nd daughter, Fva. dined with her sister, Mrs. W. E. Carter Sunday. She was accom panied home by her, niece, Miss Alvalee Carter. Miss Jones, of Lodge is visiting Miss Hattie Wr-rren. Misses Madge Ramsey nod Ruth Garris spent New Year with Mrs. W. F. Grayson. Miss Rosa Carter, of Lodge, vis ited relatives here during the holi- dr-ys. Miss Wlnn'e Risher and brother. Tom. of Round, were the welcome n-ot-sts of Miss Madge Ramsey Sun day. I,«t Fn Smile.

A b»o« k company was organized just the same as toltoii mills and other business organizations are or- gai ized. A president, secretary and board of directors wree elected. Of course, there were at first on ly a few stcrivholders and rouse- t * quently the cost was comparative ly small to furnish an exchange. A Small switchboard was purchased and instcdled, each stockholder pay ing hia proportionate part. .Vfter this was dote, each stockholder pai the expenses of putting th^ line to his home and paid for his phone. In nearly every- instance more than one phone is connected on a line. Usually four cr five phones ou a Jnie gives the most snti&factlon for the money. As the expense of build ing a line ar-d keeping it in repair Is bdrne by the phone holders on the line, it is much better to divide it r-mong four or five and then the trcuble is practically nothing to keep in repair and very little ex- per-se to build. 1 am on a Hoe where there are four phones and will give the cost to each person for instr-lling our line.

If this attitude was the price of his posi tion, something might be forgiven, but as to this there seems to be a generp.1 opinion that he wrill get the hook whether or not.

A little thought will ’show the reason why dynamiting Is so bene ficial in tree planting. The prlctpal plant food Is water and the fertile elemer4s of the soil must be ab sorbed in water before they can be absorbed by the terminal r roots Hence the larger the srea through out which these terminal roots are spreads the greatre amount of d ture the tree can draw on and tae * greater i the amount of water and plant food it can obtain.
