ORDER EXPLOSIVES NOW URGES
COUNTY AGENT ]. B. KEENAN,
(By J. B. keenan,, County Agent.)

(By j. b. h66ndu, EQUITY AS6Ht.J
In order that we may get orders
sufficient to place our orders with the
government for the eighth carload of
explosive for Grant county we are urg-
ing all to place their orders with this
office at once We still need a consid-
cradle amount before we can give you
assurance as to the date of arrival OF
this car; as we are not allowed to
place an order for a car until we have
the orders and cash on hand. However,
we are planning to arrange if possible
for the delivery of this car the latter
part of September. Prices are the
same as they have been on all Pyrotol,
81. 80 per hundred at the car door at
Lancaster, the unloading point.
Those who have used Pyrotol are
we'll pleased with its work and claim
that it is equal, pound for pound, with
any 40 percent dynamite that they
have ever used. There is one precau-
ton, however, that those using Pyro-
toll should remember and that is that it
is infammable and should be stored
and handled accordingly.
1t may be possible for us to arrange
that with every 200 pounds ordered
that the purchaser will receive 100
caps This is not definite, but if we
get our orders soon enough we will be
able to make this arrangement. NO
orders less than 100 pounds accepted
and no man can get over 1000 pounds.
Don't plan to get this material
when the car comes in unless you
have placed your order because no eX-
plOsive Will be delivered that has not
been ordered prior to the shipment of
the car. Please take action now on
this matter.
Get Ready For Fairs.
The season of the fairs is near at
hand so it is time that we give thought
to the preparation and getting tOgeth-
er of material that will compete in the
open class at the various fairs IN the
county and likewise the state fair
With the abundance of crops such as
we have this year and with the class
Of crops that Grant county is always
able to produce we should fill every
class at all of our local fairs and take
a goodly amount of material to be
shown in the open class in competition
with the rest of the state at MllWau-
kee No doubt it is too late to think
about getting livestock ready to go to
the state fair, but we can prepare eX-
hibits Of agricultural produce, fruit,
Honey and Vegetables.
We are not taking county exhibit
this year, but we will be willing to as
sist you in getting material in the open
class at Milwaukee, showing peck
samples of various kinds of grain
peck samples of potatoes, ten ear sam
pies of this years corn as well as last
years corn The premiums that are
offered at the state fair in the open
class are we'll worth considering and
won't you make an effort to clean up
one-half bushel of some of your best
grain, oats, barley, wheat or rye and
bring it to this office by August oath
and we will see to it that it is put on
display at Milwaukee.
We are very anxious to put at least
200 articles on exhibit in the open
class of the farm crops division at the
state fair. We want to show them
that Grant county can rank first in
something else besides the County ex-
hibit. Why not win few sweepstakes
and honors for the county and yourself
in exhibiting some of your good ma
terial?
