I A new method of "digging" dit ches was shown to more than 300 Haywood county farmers Thurs day afternoon and lived up to all expectations.

Since i the desired ditch was of three feet depth, specifications for planting . the explosive were: two sticks of dynamite to the hole, with holes , 18 inches apart and 26 inches deep was desired, the dynamite was, placed in holes 15 inches deep and 12 inches apart, one stick per hole. An electric blasting cap was placed with the first charge, and was detonated from a safe dis tance. The explosion of the first charge set off a chain reaction down the line, and the resulting ditch was found 3'-feet deep, and 1 from six to eight feet wide. Mr. Ellis emphasized that the soil must be damp, otherwise re sults will not be satisfactory. In handling dynamite, he cautioned that it was very sensitive, and must not be exposed to fire or packed in the ground by metal objects which might cause a spark. !
