BOON FOR FARMERS
Picric Acid Left Over From War
To Be Given Them.
Twelve Million Pounds Of This High
Explosive to be Distributed Through
Public Roads Bureau.

Washington.-More than 100000
pounds Of picric acid. one Of the high
est power explosives, accumulated for
war purposes and made useless to the
war department by the ~armistice, will
be distributed to farmers for agri'
cultural purposes.
When the war ended the army had
on hand this immense stock Of ptcric
acid, and in addition more than 26,OOO.-
600 pounds Of INT.
The latter was distributed to various
governmental agencies for use in rail-
road construction In Alaska, public
roads in the national parks and vari-
Gus projects on Indian reservations.
No INT was distributed to individ-
uals, and thus far not single acci-
dent has marked the use or transpor-
tation Of the millions Of pounds Of the
high explosive, according to officials
Of the bureau of mines.
The question of what to do with
the 100000 pounds Of picric acid
puzzled government officers for some
time, and the war department had al
most decided to tow the explosive out
to sea and dump 1t overheard In the
interests Of the public safety, when 1t
was decided to institute series OF
experiments In an effort to find some
safe commercial use for it. The ex-
periments were conducted by the bu-
reau of mines and disclosed many
ways in which picric acid could be
used safely and profitably on farms,
such as in blasting out stumps and
rocks and breaking up land. 1t was
accordingly decided to distribute the
explosive, practically free Of charge,
to farmers.
Picric acid, highly crystalline pow
der, having lemon yellow color, is
Is per cent stronger than 40 per cent
straight nitroglycerin dynamite, &C.
cording to the bureau of mines. It
should never be used in bulk, officials
say, and its uses should be restricted
to redipped parattined paper cart
ridges.
The 100000 pounds Of surplus
stock, located at Sparta, Wis.,, and Win
gate, N. Y, will be distributed to farm
ers through the bureau Of public
roads Of the Department Of Agricul-
ture. The only cost to the farmer,
it is announced, will be freight charges
and a charge of 6 cents pound for
placing the powder in the necessary
cartridges. ..-i,..s:.st ss;sssssssy, xix:
