PICRIC ACID AS AN
AGRICULTURAL EXPLOSIVE

Clemson College, July 25.-Tkc Ex-
tension Service is i'm recent of infor.
nation from the L. S. Department Of
Agriculture that the Bureau Of Pub.
nc Roads has supply of picric acid
Tor sale to farmers for agricultural
purposes, such as stump blasting,
ditch digging, etc; that South Caro-
llna's quota Of the supply is 1870 900
pounds; and that picric acid may be
ordered through the agricultural COL
lcgc or other central agency. Dircc.
tor w. w. Long, Of the Extension Ser.
vice, announces that the Extension
Service will undertake to handle or
ders provided there is sufficient de.
mand from South Carolina farmers
so that the required carlot orders may
be made to the Bureau of Public
Roads. :. GT Ts, 90. -.
Picric acid, high explosive used in
the world war, though not to be class
ed as an agricultural explosive is to
be distributed by the Government to
stimulate land clearing activities, and
IS recommended to these farmers WHO
can OBTAIN 1t at a cost less ,han that
Tor commercial explosives. 1t is u
sale explosive for use in any open air
blaStlnE operations, and is being pre-.
pared IN SlX-ouncc cartridges about
equal IN strength to the cight-ouncc
cartridges Of commercial dynamite.
The cost Of this Government picric
acla Will be 8 cents per pound plus
freight, and handling charges, which
Tor South Carolina would make the to-
tai cost around 10 to II cents per
pound. Because Of the greater cost OF
freight IN less than carlotS, makinr
the total cost to the farmer too great
to Justify its use IN place Of CONNER
clal dynamite, the Bureau of Public
koadS VIII not receive orders from in
dlviduai farmers but will deal only
with COO operating agency which will
receive individual orders, consolidatc
them into callot orders, and forward
these to the Bureau. The Extension
Service may act as the co-opcratiuo.
agency and it is suggested that farm
erS who are Interested take up the
matter with the county agents, who
VIII be supplied with full information
on the subject.

tons for the use Of picric acid in
stump blasting can be secured bv an
