Salisbury, N.C., Aug. 20 (AP)—The use of pyrotol resulted in a savings of $123 to one farmer, reports County Agent W.G. Yeager. John Barger had a large field full of stumps and had offered a local man $200 to clear it, but his offer had been refused. Mr. Yeager suggested that he get some government explosive and clear the field himself. Mr. Barger bought $22 worth of explosive, hired labor for $55 and at a total cost of $77 cleared the field.
“More than 80,000 pounds of the explosive have been distributed in the county,” says Mr. Yeager.
