FREE EXPLOSIVES
FOR FARM YORK
Excess War Supplies Distributed Free
to Farmers of the
Country.

Washington. Aug. l6. lBy the Asso.
ciated Pressl The attentions oi
farmers in all sections OF the country
to the free distribution of excess wal
explosives for farm work, is called by
the United States department of agi.
culture. Since last fall the department,
in cooperation with the various state
agricultural colleges, has distributed
100000 pounds Of picric acid, SUI
plus explosive which is very efficient,
easy and safe TO handle.
In Minnesota the state agricultural
college reports:
~We feel that picric acid has been
a great benefit to the state and has
done a great deal 10 stimulate land
clearing All reports arer to the ef.
fert that its use has been highly salts
factory. The 774,000 pounds allotted
TO Minnesota were distributed to s,5ll
famers, averaging 222 pounds per
farmer. We estimate that this will
rlear 5000 aires land, and has
made saving of over $4,000 for the
state"
The economy of tbs explosive is
emphasized by the department in
recent circular showing that last falls
distribution saved the farmers about
100000 over the cost Of other explo-
sives.. There are now available some
100000 pounds of picric acid, and of
his amount 100000 are avail
able TO each OF the lake states Michi-
CANA, Wisconsin aud Minnesota.
Picic acid is high explosive
which was used in large quantities dur
ing the war and is now being distibute
to farmers for agricultural purposes,
says the department. No chrage is
made by the government for the ex.
plosive itself, but as il has to be taken
out and cartridges before il can he used
for peaceful advantages the cost Of
his work must be paid BY the farmers
Picric acid is a comparatively safe
explosive and is used in the same way
that other agricultural explosives are
used. II has several advantages over
explosives in thata IL keeps
indefinitely without deterioratine. IL is j
not affected by heat OF old. and IL
does not cause headaches or other IN
effecs when used in the open air. Be-
cause Of its greater cost Of manu-
fscure. il win never be q competitor
Of commercial dynamites. II is bing
for he purpose Of incrcas-
ing interest and activity In clearing.
The details Of the method Of distribu !
tion my be cured from the various
state agricultural colleges.

Transportation on That
Line.

Chicago, Aug l6. tBy the Associa
ted Press Transportation tie-ups in
the far west began to unravel to-day
as rail heads and union leaders looked
toward direct negotiations for ending
the strike Of rail shop crafts employees.
Railroad executives here were pessi-
mistic, however, over the success OF
peace parleys proposed by leaders Of
the non striking unions, in whose
hands the shop crafts placed their case.
Rejection by the unions Of Presi-
dent Harding's troposal for ending the
strike, rail heads declared, all but
broke their faith in the success of the
suggested conference, but despite their
lack Of confidence, executives OF the
western roads approved acceptance of
the proposal to meet the unions in
New York tomorrow.
Embargoes were lifted and trains
were moved again over the Atchinson.

roads affected by the brotherhood
walkouts were slower in clearing out.
Outbreaks and violence in connection
with the strike during the last "a
hours included a clash between strikers
and guards and workmen in the Miss
ouri Pacific yards at Van Buren, Ark,
six miles west of Fort Smith. More
than 100 shots were fired
Nine men were arrested and war
rants were issued for others in connec-
tion with riots at Newton, Kan, Aug
IL. The warrants charged violations
of the Kansas industrial court law.
At Topeka, Kan, officials of the in
dustrial court took steps to prosecute
strike agitators under provisions of
the anti-syndicalism law.
