$4,000 pounds of picric acid have
just been allotted to the Department
of Agriculture, University Of Mime
sofa, to be used for land clearing pur-
poses. This is part Of the war salvage
material and is sold at cost to the
farmers. One car load is allotted to
Morrison county. The cost will h
considerable less than the cost of low
percentage dynamite. This is made pos
sible by the donation of the material.
The only cost being for putting it up
in cartridges and shipping. From
commercial standpoint, it is not as sat-
isfactory to handle as the low per-
centage dynamite. Yet it is safe to
handle and as effective, and should be
used as part Of the project of salvag-
ting war material.
This allotment is to be distributed by
the division Of agricultural engineer
university on the basis Of the number
of farmers and the percentage of clear
ed land in the timbered counties, at the
price of cents pound, which covers
only the cost of making the explosive
into cartridges, plus freight charges
from Sparta, Wis.,, which will amount
to about ? cents pound.
No farmer will be allowed to order
more than 500 pounds or less than 100
pounds. The orders will be placed with
county agricultural agents.
During the week from Monday, July
lS, to Saturday, July %, meetings will
be held at county seats at which the
new use Of this war explosive in blast
ing stumps will be fully discussed.

ment Of Agriculture will be present. |
