tain way. On the selection of the pow- 

 der for the use in view hinges a large 

 part of the problem of economy in land 

 clearing this year. 



Farmers who will have this work to 

 do should make it a point to inform 

 themselves on the subject. They should 

 do it without delay, for the market is 

 very uncertain, and unless the war is 

 to stop very soon, the supply of any 

 particular grade or type may be cut off 

 from civilian users. More than that, 

 the price is advancing each month or

so, and the man who buys now buys 

 cheapest. For work during the next 

 twelve months, the explosives should 

 be bought now and stored within reach. 

 Since most stumps throughout the 

 Northwest are large, it seldom pays to 

 blast them out by firing the charges 

 with ordinary cap and fuse. Any one 

 charge that can be loaded under a big 

 stump to take it out, even of the most 

 modern, improved powder, will create 

 a big cavity that takes time to fill. What 

 is needed is a multiplication of smaller 

 charges, located one under each of the 

 main roots. The total cavity then made 

 is no larger than a one or two-stick 

 charge will make, because, though a 

 great deal more powder may be used 

 than one or two sticks, it is spread over 

 a large area. 



The electric blasting machine as a 

 labor saver is not yet fully appreciated. 

 The difference between its use for 

 firing charges and the use of fuse starts 

 with the making of the holes for the 

 charges. It is a comparatively quick 

 and easy job to make inch and a half 

 holes with a bar or auger to a depth of 

 two or three feet, but to tunnel under 

 a stump for the loading of a charge as 

 big as a peck measure or larger is an- 

 other matter. A still further saving 

 results from the thorough splitting 

 apart of the stump body and roots, so 

 that they all may be handled easily by 

 hand — not to mention at length the 

 complete removal of all roots from the 

 ground. 



Economy in land clearing this year is 

 a matter of doing a clean, complete job 

 in as little time and with as little man- 

 work as possible. To accomplish it, 

 blasting is the one available means, and 

 proper blasting at that, with carefully 

 selected powder. 



To Inspect Perishables 



The Food Production Act authorizes 

 the Bureau of Markets, United States 

 Department of Agriculture, to conduct 

 an inspection service in order to certify 

 to shippers the condition as to sound-
