Farming with the Help of 

 Dynamite 



On the modern farm, and by progressive farmers, 

 dynamite is used to serve a multitude of purposes. 

 Whenever it is properly used it increases efficiency, in- 

 creases crops, decreases labor and decreases expense. 

 It has proven its ability to do these things in many 

 fields of agricultural labor.

is used extensively for sub-soiling, tree planting, stump 

 and rock removal, ditch running, the blasting of cis- 

 terns, and other work of a similar nature. 



Probably the results produced by sub-soiling and in 

 tree planting are the most interesting because they are 

 the most remarkable. Very often the crop yield from a 

 sub-soiled field will more than double that from the 

 same field before sub-soiling was done — an increase of 

 100 per cent. This has happened with corn, wheat, rye, 

 hay and other crops. When trees are planted in a 

 dynamited instead of a spade-dug hole they develop 

 more rapidly, are stronger and bear more heavily. 



Sub-soiling gives new life to the ground. It breaks 

 up the hard sub-soil, thereby improving drainage and 

 giving the crop new and untouched plant food. 



You should write for the book, "Progressive Culti- 

 vation." It tells how, when and why to use dynamite 

 on the farm. To many, it has proved an eye-opener 

 and a money-saver.
