each tree about six feet from it. Wliere 

 the dynamite is exploded close to tlie 

 tree it is necessary to brealv throu.nh 

 to tfie cfiamber and fill it with moist 

 rich topsoil. Deep tilling with dyna- 

 mite should be done when the soil is 

 reasonably dry. In the case of some 

 of our western country the hardpan 

 absorbs but little water even though 

 the topsoil is at times excessively wet. 

 If the dynamite is placed at the proper 

 depth, this may be subsoiled at any 

 time. The best time for subsoiling and 

 blasting tree holes is in the fall. This 

 catches the winter and early spring 

 moisture and stores it for use later on. 

 A few trees well set and cared for will 

 beautify the landscape far more than a 

 large number poorly set and cared for. 

 I have known of hundreds of trees 

 dying in the last few years, not for 

 lack of rainfall, but for lack of con- 

 serving the rain that did fall. By all 

 means use explosives for making tree 

 holes, even though by so doing fewer 

 trees mav be set.
