BETTER FRUIT

Would you plant your 

 fruit trees in large tubs? 



"Without the use of dynamite in tree-planting," 

 says U. S. Bulletin No. 38, "the roots soon meet 

 with the smooth and compacted sides of the hole, 

 through which they have great difficulty in pene- 

 trating. The tree is in about the same situa- 

 tion as if it had been planted in a large tub." 



But when you plant your trees in holes 

 blasted with 



AN&FARM POWDERS 



STUMPING — AGRICULTURAL 



the trees will grow faster, develop deeper, stronger 

 roots, and bear earlier. "When dynamite is used," 

 continues the bulletin, "cracks are formed in the soil 

 to distances of five or sometimes six feet on all sides. 

 This makes the very best conditions for the continued 

 growth of the tree. For tree planting dynamite is 

 recommended confidently as the best method of pre- 

 paring the soil. 



In selecting explosives for your orchard work, be careful to get 

 those that will crack, pulverize and loosen the soil for several feet 

 in every direction, rather than pack it or throw it in the air. 

 The proper explosives are the Giant Farm Powders. There are 

 two of these — Eureka Stumping Powder and Giant Stumping 

 Powder — both improved forms of dynamite. 



Fruit growers in all of the Western States use 

 many tons of Giant Farm Powders every year. 



They have found that they do better work because they are made 

 especially to suit zvestern farm conditions and because they are 

 always uniform in composition and action. 



Giant Farm Powders — the product of the oldest manufacturer 

 of high explosives in the United States — are the only genuine 

 "giant powders" for agricultural use. Because Giant Powders are 

 best known everywhere, many have assumed that all high explo- 

 sives are Giant Powders. Insist upon having the genuine, made 

 only by the Giant Powder Co., Con. If your dealer has only ord' 

 nary dynamites, write us and we will see that you get the genuine.
