Get the Right Kind of
Powder for Stumping
"The farmer needs to know that
he is eettinz aualitv in the powder
that he Is purchasing," says the Western Fqrmr. " If he
secures the right kind of powder, the cost of removing stumps
is greatly lessened."
The right powders to use for stump blasting are

STUMPING AGRICULTURAL
marie especially for stump blasting and other work on Pacific Coast farm.
HWhat the farmer should do," says Prof. G. E. Bailey, "is to use an explosive
especially prepared for his work; one that stands all ordinary shocks of handling -and
does not easily freeze. He should not use expensive nitroglycerine explosives."
The Giant Farm Powders Eureka Stumping for dry work and Giant
Stumping for wet work meet these" requirements. They save work in land
clearing because they lift and heave over a wide area, and get out roots and
all. They save money because they go further than dynamites that merely
shatter. Write us if your dealer cannot supply you with the genuine.
