Dynamite Agriculture

Washington, ID. c., Dec. l.-At the
agricultural department the expert
ments being conducted In various
portions OF the country under the d.
rectiOn OF the agricultural colleges nf
different states In "farr,ing with dynn.
mite" are being watched with great
interest. A preliminary report has
just issued from the census depnrt.
ment showing that there are $50 great
fertilizing producing concerns In the
country and that in 1909 the value OF
their products was $l03. $50. .OGO. II
the theory attached to the use Of dyna.
mite in agricultural pursuits Is found
company Is evidently so sure Of It
that they are spending large sums to
prove their claims. then all this great
OUTLAY for fertilizers will be unneces-
sary. 1t is pointed out that In nrdi.
nary blowing the same old soil Is mere
ly turned over only a few inches from
the surface year after year and de-
crease in crops is only prevented by
rotation or expensive fertilizing. The
theory OF farming with dynamite Is
that by planting sticks Of dynamite
at regular intervals OF space, and eX-
plOding them, that the underlying
soil is disturbed to u depth OF several
feet, making IT, porous and capable OF
absorbing plenty OF water in rainy
weather, and this water. which Is the
principal plant food. is drawn IT, the
top by the roots of the plant as needed
for Its growth, carrying with IL not
only moisture but necessary soluble
fertilizing elements, In the cotton
fields of the south production has been
multiplied several times over from
blowing with dynamite, while increas:
es of 33 per cent are reported from
corn fields. Melon patches also show
remarkably increased yields. J. II.
Hale, the great orchardist OF Connect
icut, has become convert to the
scheme and has planted thousands OF
trees with dynamite with surprising
results. Illustrations have been re-
ceivcd here showing how the use of
dynamite permits the roots OF fruit
trees to take their natural downward
course into the lower stratas OF soil in
which plenty OF plant food elements
are available, and the development of
the trees planted with dynamite and
without In the same orchards demon
strates more than anything else the
success Of the experiment. Cornell
university is authority for the state
mcnt that trees properly planted can
absorb 60 per cent Of the moisture sur
rounding them and where the under
lying soil is especially prepared for
this purpose photographs prove that
trees set out in land prepared by dyna-
mite look fully 100 per cent more
healthy and are much more productive
in three or four years than the trees
set out in plots where crampcd roots
prevent healthy growth.

Irrigation VS.. Rainfall

A report issued by the United States
government demonstrates conclusive.
ly that agriculture under conditions
where the farmer is his own rain
maker Is far more successful than In
those states where he has To depend
solely upon the caprices OF the weather
to moisten his growing crops. Stats.
tics compiled by the government ex-
perts covering the four leading non
irrigating states and five OF the most
prominent states where the ditch and
reservoir systems are depended upon
give the palm to the latter by a large
majority when 1t comes to computing
the returns 10 dollars and cents to the
