 Dynamite in Tree Planting. There has been some experimenting hereabouts for year past with dyna- mite for planting trees, removing stumps, etc, by farmers and orchard ists who like to make use of the most modern and efficient methods of pro- cedure, but wider interest in the use of the explosive for the purposes indi- cated is expected to be aroused by the demonstrations that are to be given at Echo farm, the property of L. E. oV. afrT- s,pA | l agriculture, in Woodstock, April 22 and 2S
 In the use of the dynamite for plant ing trees it is to be shown that the advantage lies in the fact that the ex- plosive rends the ground where a. tree is to be placed in way that insures a more rapiI and satisfactory growth than is possible when a hole is exca- vated, leaving the roots of the young ] tree 70 force their way through hard packed surrounding soil, which neces- sarily retards the development
