The Farm DYnamiter.

To have called a man a dynamiter
two years ago was to have lnsulted
him, 1t was to class him with the
safe blowers, the bridge wreckers and
the black handlers who belong in Jail.
All this has been changed by the COM
paratively recent discovery that dyna-
mite is a most effective agent to use
In breaking up hardpan, for deep
blowing, planting trees, draining wet
land, ditching, stump and boulder
blasting.
This discovery caused the advent of
the agricultural plaster, the farm
dynamiter. Farmers, fruit growers
and land owners generally, recogniz-
ing the value of dynamite for the
purpose enumerated but at first afraid
| to handle the dangerous explosive
! themselves, we're quick to employ the
services of professional blasters to
do the work for them.
SO rapidly has the use of dynamite
spread that there is hardly an agrl-
cultural section in the United States
from Maine to California that doesn't
boast of it's agricultural blaster.
These blasters are kept busy too.
Some of them, very busy. A typical
case is that of Mr.. r. A. Hanket, or
| Wheeling West Virginia VINO Is Inc
author of the following letter to one
of his friends:
81 am away from home about all
of the time now. L have so much
work ahead of me that | can hardly
find time enough to say hello to my
own family. | am simply smothered
in orders and keep jumping from
farm to farm and can't go home.
A South Carolina farm dynamlterr
sold fourteen thousand pounds OF
dynamite in ten weeks, all to be used
on one class or another of agricultural
work.
All hail the new profession, that OF
agricultural blaster! And now, MIR.
Farmer. if a man calls on you and
hands on his card announcing him

imagine the black hand is after you;
If you receive a letter or hand bill
from an agricultural blaster, don t
misconstrue his motives. He merely
wants to bring to your attention ways

we believed would be ample to supply
