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

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

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

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. They have
a very mild but positive action upo

I will tell the system and plans
uixler which our—a verj successful
co-operative telephone system—wi<?
organized.
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.

The attitude of Commissioner of
Agriculture K. J. Watsor-when “or
dered” by the Governor n6t to leave
State under pain of dismissr.1 was
disappointing to put it as mildly
as possible to his friends. 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. In such case
it were better to go down with all

She is so enthusiastic that she
uses dynamite for subsoiling her
flower garden and state* that her
hcjrdy peony plants bloomed profuse
ly the first season, although hith
erto they failed to bloom before the
second or third year.
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.
Thl* also explains the reason why
dv-nc-mltlng the soil between roars
pf old or failing fruit trees renews
their vigor, because most of the
•water Is taken up by the terminal
root* whclh rua out mar^r ’ feet
