Clearing Costs Reduced 



The recent land clearing tests conducted by the University of 

 Wisconsin have revolutionised methods and established conclu- 

 sively much lower clearing costs per acre 



The leading kinds of stump pullers hand and power were 

 represented. The dynamite used was 



RED CROSS FARM POWDER 



These tests proved the following important facts: 

 1st The cheaper Red Cross Farm Powders will in most soils blast 

 out stumps as well as the most expensive 30% and 40% grades. 



2nd The combined use of Red Cross Farm Powder and a stump 

 puller is often the cheapest and best way to clear land. 



3rd Properly placed charges fired with a blasting machine greatly 

 reduce the amount, strength and cost of the dynamite required. 



As a result the average stump covered land can now be cleared at 

 less cost per acre than before the war

Aiding Wood Users 



Five hundred individuals and firms now 

 appear upon the revised list of correspon-

 A monthly bulletin is sent out listing items 

 available for purchase or exchange and 

 requests for logs, short lengths, saw-dust, 

 shavings, etc.
