Musgrove Street Dynamite Is Magic Worker on Farmland Must Be Carefully Used to Prevent Harm Dynamite is "the Paul Bunyan of the modern farm. Like the make- believe, giant lumberman who could uproot trees and do other remarkable things, explosives, properly and carefully used, can perform scores of labor-saving tasks about the farm, according to FV S. Eldred, .manager of the ex plosives and powder divisions, Olin industries. East Alton, 111. Farmers today are finding they can save much labor and time in digging ditches, blasting out stumps, making post holes, cleaning out water holes and even planting trees by the use of explosives. “But caution is the watchword.” he warns. Like fire, dynamite is an excellent servant and a terrible master. When the farmer uses it with full knowledge of the great labor-saving work it can do, ‘ as well as the fearful damage, he has a giant farm hand who can almost perform miracles.” (By C. B. CANNON) County Agent / - Qjr\ il control for last week is encourag ing. The first generation of boll wee vils is now hatching out and the 1 dusting program for this week is most important. The weevil feeds for three to five days when hatched out before mat ing and laying eggs for another.gen eration. Checks on the same farms as used in tne boll weevil checking program showed the following results from last week’s report: B. R. T. Todd’s weevil infestation showed five per cent infestation and the week of Ju ly 4, seven percent following dust ing. Roy DeShields,' Lanford, show ed 13 percent with 16 percent for week of July 4 with dust applied Ju ly 1. Robert A. Harris, Youngs Com munity, showed no infestation with one percent for wee'-v of July 4 with dust applied July 5. Also, H. S. Bryson, Cross Hill, has shown 37 percent with 52 percent for week of July 44. Mr. Bryson’s farm ' is used as a check farm in that he is not, ^poisoning. Milton Wood, Eden Community, showed six percent witn 1 seven percent for week of July 4. No dust applied during the week Robert* Wasson, Hickory Tavern Community, showed one percent with 16 percent for week of July 4, dusted July 7. John Montgomery, New Pros pect Community showed three per cent with five percent for week July 4 dusted June 2S; and J. W. Tinsley, Trinity Ridge Community, showed two percent with seven percent for week of July 4 dusted June 23. In the Hopewell Community, the average infestation for last week showed 6.T percent infestation where dust applied and 34 percent where no dust used, or the week of July 4 the average infestation for the community where dust applied show ed 13.1 percent with 21.5 percent where no dust applied. For the week of June 27, the average infestation for the community project showed 13.2 percent infestation where dust was used and 33.2 percent where no dust was used. An estimate of approximately 100 tons of boll weevil dust have been sold so far this season in Laurens County. Never before has such ton nage been sold. The material is get ting scarce and unless the farmer continues to use the dust as recom mended the weevil may destroy the fruit of the cotton that is now on the plant, thereby making*the loss to the farmer much greater due to the cost of dus so far, — A ; ICE-COLD FROM COOLERS Figttrt 1 Stumps are a bugbear to farm ers. Each is a problem in itself. The farmer must study the type of stump, whether it has roots that run along just under the ground, or has great tap roots. Then he must carefully plan how to blast out that stump with dynamite. J^gain "caution” is the- watchword. If not sure, the farmer should consult an explosives expert. But the typi cal way to blast a stump is to place the dynamite as near as pos sible under the center mass, or under the larger roots. If there are two large roots, it may be nec essary to plant the explosive under both. Figure 1 shows the proper way of loading to remove an evenly rooted stump. The charge is under the center of the stump. Sometimes there are stumps with central downward roots, called tap roots. I n such a case as ■hown in Figure 2, the charge is COMMERCIAL HOUSEHOLD WIRING Electrical Appliance Repairing and Electrical Construction Work Floor Plugs A Specialty ARNOLD M. CANNON 406 W.

Another great labor-saving task can be performed with dynamite. That is the digging of the ditches. Dynamite can be easily carried through the woods, swamps and other country impassible to horses or machines and, once there, can quickly do more work than dozens of laborers or several machines.

The farmer should know his explosive, know the type of soil in which he is operating and should not trust his own judgment. If there is ever any doubt, he should consult an expert. Ditches are dug by dynamite not by placing one charge, blowing out a hole then using another charge. Figure 3 shows the dynamite planted stick by stick at regular intervals so that whole sections are blown out at the same time.
