TIA n SLOW rrotcr,.

Tho time has now come when we
can deal not with theories, but with
facts--with results which prove con-
clusiyely that dynamite has advan-
tages In fruit culture. but just now
great these advantages arc cannot be
demonstrated the most soonmical
methods OF using dynamite IN the or
cliard.
It is obvious that several years are
required after the planting of a. fruit
tree in a dynamite hole. to ASCERTAIN
Just how It's life or growth differs
from one planted in u spaded hole, and
essary to show whether 1t is neces-
.ary or advisable to use moro or less
dynamite per hole to set maximum
results, cost considered.
Tho following results already deter
mined should be OF interest to pro-
sressive hortioultursts every-wh.re: !,
Ist- Planting trees with dynamite
practically eliminates the loss of
young trees during tho first year.
I'd. Trees can BIO planted much
moro rapidly by the dynamite method
than by the old method.

come into bearing from one to two
years sooner than those planted by
the soil mothod.

much more heavily than those plants ed
In tho old way. Il
One Of, the chief elements OF loss
In orchard work is tho loss of trees
the first year. S. II. Bollinger, Presi-
dsnt Clear Creek Lumber Company,
Shreveport, La. stated that he used
dynamite in blasting the holes In
which 1850 pecan trees were planted
nj u Ia y oIo (~, -. "a
peach trees. He says the percen-
taEe Of loss on the pecan trees (Which
are among the most difficult to set
SO they Will live), was almost moth
Ing compared with the loss on other
trees planted in tina ordinary way.
To Get Quick Results.
Another point OF great Importance to
orcha-dists Is that trees planted with
dynamite como into bearing much
sooner than when planted by the old
way. w. w. Stevens. orchardist, OF
Mayheld, Ga, reports that he has been
using dynamite for tree planting for
eighteen or twenty years. and that in
the planting of peach trees by this
method he gained two years in six, as
compared with the old method. In
other words, he got as much fruit fror,
a tree planted with dynamite at four
years OF ago as he got at six years by
the old method
Mrs. John RaIwley, of Grants Pass,
Ore. reports that She plants all her
trees with dynamite. as a result of
careful tests to show this benefits Of
this method. She advised that all trees
be set in wet weather. as this insures
storage OF moisture under the tree.
This Is the chief reason why planting
trees With dynamite Is beneficial
little thought will show the reason
why dynamiting Is so beneficial In tr,e
planting. The principal plant food is
water. and tho fertile elements OF the
soil must be absorbed in water before
they can be absorbed by the terminal
"cc:S. Hence tho larger the area
throughout which th'sse terminal roots
are spread. the greater the amount of
moisture the tree can draw on and the
greater the amount OF water and plant
food 1t can obtain.
This also explains the reason why

dynamiting the soil between rows of
old or falling fruit trees renews THAR
rigor. because most OF the water Is
taken up by the terminal roots, whcfh
run out many feet from the trunk. and
the blasting creates water reservoirs in

standpoint, and they were obliged to
give way. If il had been any other
year than Presidential year, and some
time when tho tariff was not promi-
nently up, they might have held out;
but it being both the Presidential year
and tariff discussion year, they had
to yield, though they yielded as little
as possible. The argument was so
squarely against them that there was
no defense which they could inter
pose.
One would naturally be inclined to
congratulate the mill workers on their
victory. but that victory is so very
small TO each worker that it seems
hardly worth while. Still, so far as it
goes. 1t is a subject for congratulation,
and The Tribune joins therein as heart
lily as the small raise justiiies.

ARIZONA GOVERNORS PLAN.

Governor George w. Z. Hunt Of Arl-
zona appears to have wonderful conf

penitentiary in that new State. He
is sending them out 10 work on the
roads on parole, and if any of them
takes advantage of the opportunity
thus given to escape, Governor Hunt
pledges himself TO resign from his OF
fee as Governor. This shows that nc
has the courage OF his convictions, and
it is certainly to be hoped that the
convicts will Justify his confidence in
them. But those who have had the
most to do with conviets, will be ex'
ceedingly doubtful about their faith

continuance of Governor Hunt in of

Yesterday morning, dispatch from
Phoenix stated that nine ccnvicts from
