VKK^v^SALVE Saving Soil by Dynamite. That the force of a high may be used to save a#/welf as dee troy *s shown by some recent exper iments reported from Griffin, Ga., in a press bulletin issued by one of our powder companies. The enormous <>; ftrHiA land that Is taking I I I Hill I i -- if jf Sonth fctid West by torrential waslufr may. it appears, be prevented, at least i in romo rases, by breaking a down ward parage for the storm-water through i n underlying crust. Most of the soil around Griffin, we are told, is rich and fertile, but washes badly, be. ins un lerlald with a red clay hardpan Just hclov: the worked surface. That water can rot penetrate this imper vious layer is the chief cause of all the trouble. Rain-water readily soaks in I to the open top-soil, but when it reaches this layer of tight red clay it lean go no farther. As more water falls, it saturates the top.soil and runs off 0:1 the .surface, taking the soil along with it. Left unchecked, a wash soon develops into a gully. How to get the water to run In instead of off is the problem. To quote the bul letin: "An interesting experiment isnow being conducted by~an up-to-date far mer near Griffin to.test out the value of dynamite in controlling this eroaln "The arm on which thin experiment is located is of a rolling nature, and the soil is typical of this section. The farm-buildings are built on a knoll, or slight elevation, ante adjoining-these is a large field that slopes away from them. In this field there were three bad washes. In the past It had been practically impossible to stop them, as much water washes on this field from the homesteaJTTot. "This experiment was started in Oc tober, 1916. Two of the three washe* were subsoiled with dynamite, while the third one was let as a check. In blasting these washes charges consist '1HR of one-half cartridge of red cross fjjrm powder were placed every 12 or 15 feet to a depth of about 30 inches.. Those were tamped tight, and explod ed with cap and fuse. Two rows of charges, one on either siue, were plac. cd parallel to and along the entire length of each wash, about 6 or 7 foot back from it. They were so ar? | ranged that the charge on one side was I not opposite the chargo on the other [side. Charges were placed in the I washes themselves every 3D or 40 |fee?. Iu addition to this charges were placed at and above the source ot each wash. Where the washes cros3? ed a terrace the charges were placed lvery 1? feet fora considerable distance i at rlgl*? angles to them, and along and back or the terrace just where the-wa ter would naturally settle. "The Idea in blasting along the sides of the -wash and back of the terraces ! was to break up the hard Sand so that the waaer would soak through it to the pervious stratum below instead of be. ing obliged to run off on the surface -In?oilier, words, the blasting was to effect vertical drainage. In blasling at the source, the thought was to get the wax*r to run in before ji ev?* reached ttie wash. * "After ihe blasting was done the en tie field was worked in the same man ner and seeded to wheat Between seeding-thse and the 20th of Deeem ISr there wtsre three hard raJas^-The two old washes that had been dyna. mlted showed no efTect of the down pours, T5ut the~ soil in?the other one that wis not dynamited by this time had started to wash away, carrying the wheat with it. The soil in the un blasted wash continued to wash away all during the winter, but no erosin whatever was noted on the two blast ed ones. , "All during the season the wheat on the blasted sections along the sites of the old wash and back of the terraces grew much better than that on any other part of the field. When It waa cut. It waa carefully estimated by sev eral farmers that not only the wheat, but the straw as well, that was har. vested from the blasted sections yield ed fully 20 per cent, more than did the wheat and straw from the rest of the field. "As soon aa the wheat was harvest ed the atubble waa turned under and the field aeeded to cow-peaa. From the very start the cow-peaa on the blasted sections did exactly what the wheat had done?grew much more luxuriantly than anywhere else. . . . The courses of the two old washes could be followed as far off, practL cally, as the field could be seen. This was due to the better crop growth on Ihe blasted areas. Had it not been for this, the sites of the old washes could not havo been told." DECIDE YOURSELF. The 0portrait? Is Here, Backed By Louisburg Testimony. * iWl IdMmaUiUb?M.
