The article discusses the increased use of dynamite for industrial applications in the U.S. in the 1920s. Topics addressed include the number of ditches blasted out with explosives, the economy of using dynamite for certain kinds of ditch digging, and agricultural applications in the South to save crops threatened with destruction by heavy rains. The quick construction of water and railroad tunnels using dynamite and the use of explosives in the discovery of oil wells are also mentioned.
