Under supervision of the College of Agriculture and Herbert Taylor of Joplin district, with Ralph Butler of DuPont, a demonstration at Beamer farm south of Lamar tests soil impact. The plot 100 by 250 feet has 168 holes four feet deep, forming a basin that preserves moisture. Corn is planted on both shot and natural ground to compare yields, with expectations of 50 to 80 percent higher output on the shot ground.
