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)

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,

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

placed down alongside the tap root
on the side that will bring it at
near as possible to the center of }
the stump.
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.

But always the words “safety-
first’’ must be kept in mind. 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. In this
way, the earth does not fall back

Knowledge Is Valuable
To Those Purchasing Eggs
U. S. department of agriculture
marketing specialist report that
knowing where to buy eggs and
how to keep them are the only two
ways that consumers can be sufe
of having a quality product at all
times.
The homemaker’s first step in
this direction is to buy from retail
ers or wholesalers who keep eggs
under constant refrigeration until
used.
