has been fer years to the democracy,

the rich corporations to the liberty of
free citizenship.

ly intreuchsd would have been al
most impossible. 1t is coming though
and 1t is coming with an irresistible
force, rolling eastward from the great
west like the wave of mighty storm

almost alone battling for the right, for
honesty and good government and to
Bryan and LaFollette alone belong the
credit OF the progress made in that d.
fection SO far. The whole great west 10

FARMER PLows BY DYNAMITE
Alabama Man Finds Method More Sat

Is the plowboy going to be dis.
placed by the man with dynamite!
Perhaps not Immediately, but II is a
fact which is receiving good deal of
attention at present that plowing by
dynamite for certain soils is vast
Improvement over the old system
which has come down to US from time
i1nmemorial
Down IN Alabama farmer named
johnson tried both methods and found
dynamite the more satisfactory and
profitable All his life. until last year.
since he first became tiller OF the
soil-and he now is 81 years-he plow-
ed his land in the old way and never
succeeded In raising more than one
bale Of cotton to the acre. Last year
ne experimental with dynamite. and
the yield Of cotton was increased to
four and q half bales Mr.. Johnson
says that with a little more care IN
using dynamite for plowing and with
little more fertilizer he would be
able to raise I'VE bales to the acre
The reason why dynamite Is supe-
uior to the old method Of blowing 10
because It rips up the subsoil, thereby
adding greatly to the fertility Of the
land and permitting the roots of plants
to find nourishment at a much greater
depth than Is possible with the old
method Of cultivation. And thus
while in large part solving she drought
problem by enabling the plant roots
to find moisture deep In the earth,
plowing by dynamite also disposes OF
insect pests by destroying them with
In q considerable radius of the ex
plosions. That dynamite Flowing will
come into more general use is ths
opinion Of those who have given Sc
