The SModem Power 
for Draining Land 
T HE case of du Pont dynamite you take 
out to your ditching job is a little power 
house. You use explosives power just as con¬ 
veniently as you take current from the wire. 
Draining land with dynamite pays. Farmers 
in every part of the country are blasting their 
ditches cheaper, easier, better and quicker by 
the “dynamite wayTurn the swamp land 
and wet spots into productive acres. Get all 
your land to work next year. Start your 
drainage work now. 
Du Pont 50 % or 60 % straight dynamite gives you real 
results on your ditching job. You punch and load the 
holes, explode the dynamite and there is your ditch— 
straight and clean—just as you want it. See your local 
dealer for your supply of du Pont explosives. 
A free booklet “Farmers’ Handbook of Explosives” is 
yours for the asking. It gives full information about 
the use of explosives on the farm.
