more slowly, in fact. it should stop
where it is. for these rich valley
lands, given intelligent tillage, should
never require the aid of imported
fertilizers.

If the subsoil where you wish to
plant an orchard, or for that mat
ter any sort of a tree, is of hard
pan texture, it is a good plan to
drill a hole down six or eight feet
and explode charge of dynamite.
This loosens up the hard subsoil and
enables the roots of the tree TO go
down, and thus protects the tree
from the effects of drought.
