Digging a Ditch In a Flash

Things move quickly nowadays. The
village of yesterday is tomorrow's
metropolis. Speed is requisite, and
newer methods that smack of rapid
ty and labor and money saving are In
demand.
bitches that once consumed many
days Of hand or machine labor are now
being blasted out in almost the twin
king of an eye. By degrees man is
learning to adopt some Of natures sim
pie, but mighty forces. And the gull
lies and valleys that old Mother Earth
has created by her natural upheavals
and eruptions are being duplicated in
a smaller way by some of the more
progressive and up to date farmers.
Digging bitches with dynamite is
simply a newer and more improved
method of trench building. The meth
cd employed in wet work is simply to
punch holes from eighteen to twenty
four inches deep along the line desired
to ditch and then load each hole with
a charge of 80 per cent straight dyna-
mite.
Long stretches of ditch can be loaded
and fired at one time. One cap placed
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1915-10-25

in cartridge of dynamite in the mid
die hole of the line of charged holes and
fired will do the work
A single row of holes can usually be
depended upon to excavate ditch from
seven to nine feet wide and about thir-
ty to forty inches deep. Where larger
bitches are required the holes can be
made deeper and loaded heavier, or
two or more lines of holes, spaced from
three to four feet apart, can be used.
incidentally the holes can be made In
the toughest kind of swamp or in flood
muck beds, where other methods of
ditching are practically impossible
When the soil is dry or the weather
Is too cold to use the propagated meth
cd of blasting described above low
freezing farm or stumping powder Ia
used in holes spread farther apart,
often in large bitches as far as four
or five feet. In this case each hole
must be primed with an electric cap,
as the explosive shock will not propa-
gate in dry ground.
The cheapest lineal foot of small
ditch is obtained by using the electric
firing method and farm or stumping
powder.

THEY ARE HERE AGAIN.

When prosperity visits section it
seems as if every scalawag from the
four corners of the earth hastens to
that place to feed on their trick
schemes and fakes. The following
editorial is from the Savannah Morn
irg News, anent this matter:
Some of the weekly exchanges are
complaining of the temperance of
all sorts of smooth-tongued takers and
peddlers which, of course, is nat
ural consequence of the return of bet
ter times, along with the profitable
price of cotton. This gentry knows
that the people of Georgia have more
money this year than last, and wants
some of it. No Georgia community
need be surprised to receive visits
from spectacle peddlers, and sellers
, of rugs which are solemnly said to
be made in Persia or Turkey, and
smuggled into this country under the
noses of customs inspectors, and a
great variety of other people of the
same sort who deserve to make no
sales at all
The man who needs spectacles is no
friends of his own eyes if he buys them
from an unknown peddler, and the
chances are ten to one that dupli-
cate of any rug displayed by a for
eign- looking faker can be bought at a
much smaller price in any store where
rugs are sold The best place. to buy
anything is from a business establish
ment that is known, that does nos dis
appear, as does the peddler, immedi
ately after the sale is made
The business firms of Georgia de-
serve the support of all Georgia peo-
pie; they are here in good times ant
times that are not so good; they dc
not close up shop when the money
CT the people is scarce and then come
iuto the state in flocks when it is
more plentiful. 1t is not only fair tt
them, but profitable to the people
themselves for Georgians to do al
tier buying from Georgia business
men. Prices are fair, stocks are am
pie. Fly-by-night takers should re
ceive no encouragement in Georgia
this year.

LEE COUNTY FAIR.

The second annual Lee county fair
came to a close Saturday night, and to
say it was a huge success is a minor
expression for the greatness of the
exhibits and spirits which Lee county
presented to the world.
Lee county has reason to be proud
of herself, and when her exhibits are
shown at the State Fair which opens
in Macon Tuesday, they will I'M
doubtedly receive lions share in the
awards for excellence.
The Lee county fair contained among
its displays the many excellent reas-
ems and substantial proof why the
Loll weevil should not make us suffer.
Lee is one of the several counties in
south Georgia which claims now to
have the pest within it's borders.
Almost without exception when a
Lee county citizen was queried as to
his, he would reply: Well; it's
pretty good for Lee county" Well, it
was excellent for Lee county, and
south Georgia recognizes her as a
prominent unit in her agricultural de-
velopment
The praises of the promoters cannot
ge sung too high, and it is with pleas
ure that we learn the fair will be made
a permanent feature of Lee county life.
Our own county of Sumter has been
asleep in allowing these golden OPP
portunities to fleet by unnoticed.

Strengthening Streams
With Dynamite

The ancient Egyptians were noted
for their crops because, as history
states, they "sowed their seeds in the
Nile" This does not mean that they
actually cast the seed In the river. at
certain seasons of the year the Nile
overfows its banks, depositing on either
shore rich silt or earth that is highly
conducive to bumper crops, and the
wise ancient Egyptians, realizing this,
profited thereby.
Water is a necessity. The tiniest
brooks up to the largest rivers play an
important part In the scheme Of things
inasmuch as they are natures way of
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1915-10-25

both irrigation and drainage. But be-
ing formed according to natures die
tates their courses do not always jibe
with mans desires or needs.
Rock lodges impede their progress.
Overhanging stumps and trees retard
their flow. Numerous Irregularities
cause them to meander about In ap-
parently wasteful ways, and mans
carelessness has added to these trou-
bles by allowing driftwood and loose
earth to form dams and sandbars.
All of these things help to hold the
food Of waters back and cause either
flooding OF swamps, which not only &C.
cupy land that could be more probably
used for farming, but also form fine
breeding places for mosquitoes and
other obnoxious pests. incidentally
they cause an annual loss running into
millions of dollars per year.
In this day of enlightenment such
things are both wasteful and, one
might add, criminal. especially so in
view of the fact that almost instant
relief may be had by few well placed
charges of dynamite. Not only will
these blasts straighten out the kinks
and bends and remove lodges and
sand bars, but they will deepen and i'm
prove the channels as nature has real
ly intended. incidentally by straight
ening the winding course of creek
much area of tillable land can be OBJ
tanned and farm operation in many In
stances made much easier.
