Blast beds for trees; 

 get sturdier roots 



" Both apple and peach trees planted in blasted beds 

 developed deeper and stronger root systems than 

 those in spade-dug holes," the New Jersey Experi- 

 ment Station found. "Soil around spade-dug trees 

 was hard ; around blasted trees it was loose for

Atlas Farm Fowdei 



The Safest Explosive 



The Original Farm Powder 



Just punch a hole, charge it, 

 light a fuse and the work is 

 done ! You can do your own 

 blasting easily and quickly 

 with Atlas Farm Powder 

 made especially for agricultu- 

 ral use. It is sold by dealers 

 near you. 



The Safest Explosive replaces 

 expensive labor in many 

 kinds of farm work. It is 

 most economical for blasting 

 stumps, digging ditches, 

 shattering boulders, etc. By 

 blasting the subsoil with Atlaa 

 you can get bigger crops.
