USED DYNAMITE.
1t Beat the Plow on the Poor
Farms Poor Ground.

Carthage, Mo, c,. 20.-Liter-
ally shooting corn OF of the
ground with dynamite and pro-
ducing forty-five bushels to the
acre where five bushels had been
the customary yield, was done last
season at the Jasper county "poor
farm.
The success of the experiment
has moved powder company to
offer to donate the dynamite to
shoot a five-acre experimental
plot next year. Many tracts will
be so treated by the farmers of the
county.
To John Parker, superintendent
Of the county farm, is due the
credit for inaugurating the new
method of treating hardpan.
The County Court that set aside
the "pOor farm" must have had a
sense of mmOr, for it is admitted
that the farm is well named and
has about the poorest soil in this
section,
It is of the type commonly call.
Ell "white ash, " so fiat that it can.
not be drained to any advantage,
of the type that is largely of the
shale formation and has a hardpan
underneath that holds water like
bowl and is about as mellow as
an ordinary brick
Some digging showed Mr.. Park
er that the hardpan was only
about a foot and a half thick, and
he decided to break it up with
explosives.
He bored hole about four feet
deep and inserted one stick of dy-
Mantle. The explosion made what
looked like a giant potato hill,
thirty feet across. The fuse had
not even been blown out, but the
ground had been raised and crack
ed for fifteen feet. Mr.. Parker
then took sharp stick and fOuno
he could plunge it about six feet
into the ground.
The whole acre was blown up
and it was plOwed and planted to
corn. The spring was wet, more
so than usual, but that acre gave
none of the usual trouble and the
water did not stand on it. The re-
suit was that corn was cultivated
as often as the remainder of the
crop.
When it was gathered it aver
aged up with the rest of the field,
The estimated yield of the whole
was forty-fve bushels to the acre.
Mr.. Parker had many calls from
farmers who have land with hard
pan subsOil and many pounds Of
powder will be used in this county
next season to shatter the water.

premium prize
This paper does not and never has used premiums
schemes of any sort to induce people to become sub
scribers.
The that the people take and read The Press is
simply because this paper contains certain things and
tain kinds of reading matter gotten up and handled in
way that they cannot get in any other Spokane paper
They buy The Press because they like to read it and for
no other Therefore they do read it every ISSUE
and they read it carefully and thoroughly. They have
the most time to read the Saturday edition. Therefore
they read the Saturday edition the most carefully and
thoroughly
The advertiser who The Press and does not take
advantage of the Saturday edition to get before it's
ers is certainly missing something good The merchant
certainly wouldn't think of closing his store day
week besides Sunday therefore why should he miss getting
before the readers of the papers day week. If he
does he is is just wasting that much opportunity to get
business.
Use the Saturday paper and it strong Mr. Adver-

get from it. Don't forget that that day you get
closer attention of the readers than probably any other day

and are far more delicious than
the candy shop variety. Here are

thin on buttered tins and mark in

varied by beating after removing

are added last.
