DEALS 1T A HEAVY BLOW
Action of Legislature Will
Place Hardship on Land
Clearing in State.

w Quiz d business man dDOllSn
bureau that had shown him how
to save approximately $4,000 in
the last five years? Not if he
could see farther than the end of
his nose. And yet the assembly
has done that very thing in pas
sing house bill 222A, a section of
which would end the land clear
ing services of the state college of
agriculture.
In the cut-over counties of Wis
consin are $4,000 stump farmers,
says the Milwaukee Journal. They
are hewing out farms from what
once were forests. Half of these
farmers work acreage so small
that they cannot afford adequate
machinery. They hold on by grim
determination, each year gaining
a little more ground in their bat
tie with the stumps. Are they to
be forced out because. a majority
of the house has it's economy so
mixed with politics that it can't
add two and two?
When the Wisconsin college of
agriculture began its study of land
clearing in 1916, it found that
farmers were wasting Al to 70 per
cent of the money spent for ex-
plosives due to no cooperation and
inefficient selection and distribu-
ton. The old miners who intro
duced explosives into the cut-over
sections were users of 40, SO and
even 60 per cent dynamite. The
college found by experiments that
20 per cent dynamite was suffic-
lent for the purpose and it was
cheaper. Farmers were induced
to purchase in carload lots, thus
securing wholesale rates in distri-
button. By these changes in five
years $350,000 saving HAS been
effected on the item of dynamite.
At the close of the World war
millions of pounds of high explos-
ives were being dumped into the
Atlantic ocean in order to rid
eastern seaboard cities of the
menace. The college of agricul-
ture experimental with some of
this material and found that TINT
and picric acid could be used safe
ly to eliminate stumps. The fed
eral government allotted left over
supplies to the states, and the ex-
plosives were sold to farmers at
cost of cartridging and freight.
Distribution of these war sal
vaged explosives to farmers of the
state has saved them $350,000 in
the last four years. About $4,000
farmers have been served; and the
combined saving from innovations
introduced by the college of agri-
culture since it was authorized to
investigate and demonstrate land
clearing devices amounts to $751;
725.
Approximately 100000 acres a
year are being cleared with
100000 lbs. of explosives. New
settlers are coming into northern
Wisconsin at the rate of many
hundreds each year. There is
room for fully 100000 more, with
so acres each of potentially good
farm land There are millions of
pounds of cheap war explosives
still available. Between 5000 to
1000 farmers have placed orders
totaling 100000 pounds to be de-
livered this spring. Some of this
material must be worked over and
prepared by experts. But this
work will have to be dropped by
the college of agriculture if the
senate follows the house in its
vote on bill 222A. Surely if the
