THE NEW AGRICULTURE.
Cultivation by Explosion Gaining
Ground Because Il Helps Plant Life.

Cultivation by Explosion Gaining
Ground Because II Helps Plant Life.
II begins to look as though cultiva
tion Of the soil by explosion. says Gar
rett P. Serviss. Is to be one Of the rec
ognized methods Of farming in the
future, just as locomotion by explosion
is already one Of the principal means
Of getting himself carried about that
is employed by civilized man.
In other words. the "explosive plow
will become as familiar as the explO-
sion engine
An English authority on high explO-
sives. Mr.. W. Macnab. points out that
this new method of cultivation IS es-
pecially beneficial to orchards. Instead
Of digging a hole with the spade in
which to plant a young tree an excava-
ton is made in an instant by exploding
a Cartridge. The size of the cartridge
and the depth at which it is placed
depend upon the circumstances Of the
case. But whether a large or a small
hole is blown. the beneficial effects Of
the explosion are perceived in the com
plete shaking up and assuring Of the
soil.
This extends far beyond the edges
Of the excavation and below Its bot
tom. so that fresh supplies Of chemi-
cal food are brought within reach Of
the roots Of the tree.
Experiments have proved that young
trees planted in ground prepared by
explosion grow much more rapidly and
vigorously than others planted in the
usual way and begin TO bear fruit
sooner.
Old. exhausted orchards may be re- [
inyigorated by the use Of explosives. /
In some cases small cartridges are ex-
ploded under the roots Of the trees,
and in other cases larger cartridges,
buried three or more feet deep. are
exploded midway between trees stand
ing fifteen feet apart. The result is to
loosen the soil without injuring the
trees.
After such treatment old trees begin
to brighten up as if Tejuvenated, and
resume bearing fruit The cause Of
this rejuvenation is that the spreading
roots have less resistance to overcome.
he soil is aerated. its capacity to re-
ain moisture is increased and new
is supplied to the trees
rom the fresh mineral matter placed
It their disposal by the shattering Of
he surrounding hardened soil.
If anybody thinks that blowing by
xplosion is an impracticable dream let
i'm recall the recent history of the ex-
losion engine. The idea Of driving a
istOn back and forth by a continuous
cries of explosions occurring inside a ,
ylinder seemed startling enough when
was first suggested To the Ordi-
ary mind it was very much like pro
osing to run a locomotive with can
on shots.

zplosives upon the soil having been 4
