"Sugarcane and cane sugar," and "Beets from seed to sugar bowl."

FARM DEMONSTRATION WORK Tbe first car of pyrotol has been shipped and I am now taking orders for a second car. Mail your orders to me at once and enclose checks for quantity need ed at 9c pound. Tbe following article will be of interest to. those who expect to use this material: Explosives For Stomp Blasting By J. M. Gray Assistant Director Agricultural Extension Service, State College. For the past four years the U. S. Department of Agriculture has been re-working the explosives remaining at the close of the war and putting them into shape for commercial use. By virtue of a Bpecial act of Congress these ex plosives have been mada avail able for agricultural us 3. The department is now engaged in distributing an explosive called pyrotol which has given excellent satisfaction for stump and bould er blasting. Already more than 12.000,000 pounds has been used by farmers with good results. Pyrotal is put up in cartridges the same size and shape as the ordinary cartridge of commercial dynamite. This pyrotol cartridge will do the same work, under ordinary conditions, as a car tridge of commercial dynamite, but as they weigh only six ounces each, while a dynamite cartridge weighs eight ounces, there are 150 cartridges in a 50-pound case of pyrotol and but 100 cartridges in a box of dynamite of the same weight. So a case of pyrotol is . -X about li times as effective as a - i'4 heaW-eCommerclB7 vffgricurtUrar S3 dynamite. It is a non freezing explosive and can be used with out causing headaches or other ill effects. If stored in a dry place it will keep for at least several months without deterior ation. The Government is not distri buting this explosive to farmers because it is a better explosive than commercial dynamites, as this is not the case, nor is it do ing so because the Department . of Agriculture wishes to go into the business of making and sell ing explosives. It is being done because it is the only feasible way in which an economical use can be made of the surplus war explosives. On this account, the Government makes no charge for the ingredients of pyrotol, but the farmer is required to pay the cost of preparing and cartridging V It, and tbe freight charges. The . average cost of pyrotol delivered " ia carload lots at any shipping point in North Carolina Is nine cents per pound. i When it is considered that the . retail prices charged for commer. cial dynamites range from 18 to 20 cents per pound, and that it takes li pounds of dynamite to i ' do the same work as can be done : v witb 1 pound of pyrotol, it will . be seen that the farmer saves v from 9 to 10 cents per pound ; when he uses pyrotol rather than " commercial dynamites. Since July 1, 1924. 732,900 pounds of ' pvrotol have been distributed to North Carolina farmers which saved them more than $55,961 at the very lowest possible estimate using wholesale carlot prices of dynamite as a comparison Tt!: year. North Carolina baa be: allotted 900,000. pounds wUc' will mean a saving of abc; $81,000 if there is sufficient t mahd to Die up all of the ajL: ment. '; v-: v.''
