More than 12,000,000 pVunda of picric acid one of the highest known explosives accumulated for war purposes, and made useless to the War Department by the armistice, will be distributed to farmers for agricultural purposes. When the war ended the army had on hand this immense stock of picrie acid and in addition more than 26, 000,000 pounds of T. N. Ti The lat ter was distributed to various gov ernmental agencies for use in rail road construction in Alaska, public roads in the national parks and vari ous projects on Indian reservations. None of the T. N. T. was distributed and thus far not a single accident has marked the use or transportation of the millions of pounds of the high ex- Dlosive. according to to officials of the bureau of mines. . , . The question of what to do with the 12,000,000, pounds of picrie acid pusxled government officers for some time and the War department had al most decided to tow the explosive out to sea and dump it ovrboard in the interest of the public safety when H was decided to institute a series of experiments in an effort to find some safe commercial use for It. ' The ex periments were conducted by the bu reau of mines and disclosed many ways in which picrie acid: could be used safely and profitably on farms, such as blasting out stumps and rocks and breaking up land. It was ac cordingly decided to distribute ; the explosive, practically free of charge, to farmen. " ' . . ' ' Picric acid, a highly crystalline powder having a lemon yellow color is 18 per cent stronger than 40 per cent straight nitro-glycerin dynamite, according to the bureau of mines. It should never be used in bulk, offi cials say, and ita use should be re stricted to redipped parraffined pa per cartridges. The 12,000,000 pounds surplus FARMV1LLE WON THREE' .1, - i - HERE LAST WEEK Farraville made a clean sweep of he series here last week but in two of the games they had to fight like tigers, and the last one went their way hiore by luck than ' any thing else. In this particular 'case Sum- rell had pitched a fine game all the way.Vnot allowing a safe hit until the eighth inning when Lang who was about the weakest batter on the team drew a. base on balls and was fol lowed by pitcher . Davenport who managed to catch a straight one on the end of his bat and lend it over right field fence. Beaufort had got ten one run in the 6th on a hit by Caffrey followed by a two bagger by Skarren. The boys made a desper ate effort to score in the eighth and ninth but failed to do so, the score at the end being 2 to 1 in favor of the Farmvjllians. The, first game played on Tuesday was won by Farmville by a score of ft to Ijas related in last week's issue of the -News. It was a hard fought contest and very interesting, They game Wednesday was won by the Farmville bunch and they had a walk d ver in doing itv. the -score be- ing It to ; Pollock pitched 4 in- nings ef the game and the opposing teaent had little trouble in hitting his offerings andy thia coupled with some loose playing by some of the Beaulbrt players made it h an 4 easy victory for the visitors. The fact that Beaufort made five runs though In this game showed that they could hit the Farmville pitcher F. Beale and in fact they did hit well in all of the ' games. Skarren, Beaufort's second baseman, hit 'the first " home run 'over the fence since the '. park was ' enclosed in Wednesday's game. No one was on bese at the time though and so only one run waa it- cured. ', ,4 ' The defensive work of the Beau fort team on Thursday was fine.
