Planting Trees Over Hardpan By Otho Strayer. Alabama Six years ago F. S. Vaughn, of Axis, Mobile County, Alabama, set out two hundred Satsuma orange trees. The top soil of the orhard site was about six to eight inches in depth; then followed a very hard clay, and below that a softer and more plastic clay.

Mr. Vaughn was doubtful of the suc- cess of an orchard planted in such soil, but having heard that dynamite used to loosen the soil would give the trees a better change for life, he decided to try it.
