Explosives
If you have stumps or rocks to blast
you can do no better than to obtain
picric acid for the purpose. This ma
terial is now obtainable from the Col
lege of Agriculture and my be had by
applying for it at the Office of the
county agent. We are able to obtain
this picric acid because of the fact
that other states did not use the
amount of explosives allotted to them
last fall.
Not over two hundred pounds of pic
ric acid will be allotted to any one in
dividual. In case the supply of pic
ric acid is exhausted before the order
is received, the money order will be re-
turned.
The price of lit cents per pound
is for delivery in car load shipments
to one shipping point within the coun-
ty. If less than car load of picric
acid is ordered it will be necessary to
have this material shipped by local
freight. The user will have to pay
the freight charge when he gets his
explosives at the station.
The picric acid is secured from sur
plus war material transferred by con-
gress to the u. S. Department of Ag-
riculture and distributed by law in
cooperation with the Agricultural
College of the University of Wiscon-
-.
