Innovative Plowing Method Uses Dynamite Deep Ground Fracture
In Athiata Mr D A Sloan unveils a system to break hard soil to two to three feet using dynamite and a drill rig. The process, similar to trenching but far cheaper, promises greater water absorption, fertilizer uptake, and potential yields of five bales of cotton or 260 bushels of corn per acre. Yesterday representatives from Teafaur Chemical Co arranged explosive tests in Sloan's garden, triggering a pilot blast that raised the ground several feet.
