Jl This last fail some farm lers attempted to use am- Jmonium dynamite and the /j gelatin type of explosives ’lfor ditching, when the ni [i tro-glycerine supplies be came short, but they found that these explosives were not satisfactory for the ' ditching job. Ammonium dynamite is just the explo sive to use for stumping 3 but not for ditching. It is all right to use plain ' caps and a fuse for stump -1 ing( but Ellis says that 1 electric caps, lead wire, and " a blasting machine or a “hot-shot” battery should by all means be used in set i ting off the explosives on ; a ditching job. 5 He explains v.that plain caps and fuse can be used for ditching, but the chan ces for mis-fires and acci dents are much greater with this method. Ellis will begin a series of 51 ditching demonstrations the eastern and central sec tions of the State, and he has invited all farmers in terested in having this type of work done to attend the demonstrations. Ellis suggests that farm ers clear the right-of-way for the ditching jobs plan ned for this winter and spring. He has prepared a safety circular on the use of dyna mite.
