PICRIC ACID FOR
FARMS, PROPOSED
WAR DEPARTMENT
Large Supply Of the Explosive 10
Be Distributed at Mere Cost
of Handling

Washington, June 2O.-More than
12,000,000 pound sof picric acid. one
OF highest known explosives. accum-
lated for war purposes and made use
less to the War Department by the
armistice, will be distributed to farm
ers for agricultural purposes.
| When the war ended the army had
on hand this immense stock of picric
acid and in addition more than 26.0O0,-
600 pounds of T. N. T. The latter was
distributed to various governmental
agencies for use in railroad copstruc-
ton in Alaska, public roads Ill the ma
tional parks and various projects on
Indian reservations. None of the T..
N. T. was distributed to individuals
and thus far NOT a single accident
has marked the use or transportation
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, one
Zled government officers for some time
and the War Department had almost
decided to tow the explosive out to
sea and dump it overheard in the in
i
was decided to institute series of
experiments in neffort to find some
safe commercial use for it. The ex-
periments were conducted by the
Bureau of Mines and disclosed many
ways i'll which picric acid could be
used safely and proftably 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, a highly crystalline
powder having a lemon yellow color
is IS per cen tstronger than 40 per
cent straight nitro-glycerin dynamite,
according to the Bureau of Mines. 1t
should never be used in bulk, officials |
say, and its use should be restricted |
to re-dipped paraffined paper cart
ridges.
The 100000 surplusstock, located |
at Sporta, Wis, and Wingate. N. NJ,
will be distributed to farmers through |
the Bureau of Public Roads of the De-
partment of Agriculture. The only |
cost to the farmer, it is announced,
will be freight charges and charge |
Of six cents a pound for placing the
powder in the necessary cartridges.
1t will be ready for distribution about
July I.

W. Is In Position and VIII Prob,
ably Be In Operation Within
the Next Three Weeks This Re-
lieving Serious Situation at Lo-
cal Power Station

Within three weeks the municipal
electric light, power and water works
plant ought to be operating on a safe
margin as regards the supply OF both
light, water and power. This will De
made possible by the operation of q
huge new power unit, a j0O-kiiowat

which has just been placed in position
at the power house and is now await
ing only the hardening of the cement
grouting in the foundation before The
steam can be turned on.
This new machine is auxiliary to
the old 100 W. Skinner direct con-
nected generator unit and the 400
kilOwatt NOrberg direct-connectcd en-
CINE and generator. Superintendent
JOS. Johnson has been an exceedingly
busy man looking after the multitude
OF details connected with this nstalla-
ton and he has so arranged matters
at the plant that when the new unit is
completed it can be "htched up with
the other two, thus doubling the pres
ent capacity, bringing it up to total
OF one thousand kiloWatts.
The turbine erector for the General
Electric Company has just completed
the leveling of the new generator but
it will take at least two weeks for the
concrete grouting to harden In the
meantime a new condenser is being
placed in position so that it may b.
ready fer use as soon as the founda-
ton OF the turbine generator sets and
hardens. The installation of this new
condenser. will relieve the trcmcn-
deus over-strain on the old mechine
now in use and enable Superintendent
Johnson to make badly needed re
PAIRS.
With the complete installation OF
this new machinery Lakeland resi-
dents will be assured of better service

question Of more pump capacity is one
that future city governments will
have to settle,
