RED CROSS FARM POWDER 



These tests proved the following important facts: 

 The cheaper Red Cross Farm Powders will in most soils blast 

 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
