SubSOiI Blown Up.

Through the courtesy of Fred
Browning, manager at Hoods,
last Saturday afternoon we
witnessed the blowing up of some
subsoil at the farm of ]. c. Nay
lor out in Lyon township. The
Independent Powder Company OF
Joplin did the work, and some of
the holes were shot with two
sticks, some with one and some
with half a stick. An augur was
used to bore holes in the ground
to a depth of four feet, after
which the holes were loaded and
shot. The holes were placed
from eighteen to twenty feet
apart, and the upheaval was a
success. The subsoil was shat
tered for several feet in all direc-
tions, and where the shots were
heavy large holes were torn in
the ground below the surface,
while the hole in the top of the
ground was not so large.
If the ground is plowed deep
where the shooting was done the
subsoil will perhaps not run back
together, for the reason that if
soil is mixed in the crevices of
the subsoil; the soil will prevent
cementing. But if deep blowing
is not done we think the subsoil
will cement again.
That the drainage will be i'm
proved there is no doubt, for the
subsoil was so tight water could
not penetrate it. 1t is an ideal
way to drain a wet piece of
ground. Mr.. Naylor is going to
put that particular piece of
ground in corn, and it is going
to be watched with interest.
Any kind of deep tilling is a
good thing in this country, and
perhaps dynamiting the ground
is as good a way as any, but it
is our opinion that the ground
will have to be plowed deeply in
order to keep the lower ground
open. This is essential.
Deep blowing and deep tilling
is going to be necessary in this
fact it is necessary.
The ground has been farmed on
the surface as long as is good
for it. Deeper blowing will make
a deeper reservoir for water, and
a deeper reservoir means less

We think, however, that if
dynamiting is going to be done
to break up the subsoil that a
half stick of powder to the shot,
and the holes about twelve feet
apart will bring the best results.
We do not believe it is necessary
to shoot more than that. And
after the ground is shot, plow as
deeply as possible.
