The Dynamite Maker and the Food Supply
The dynanv'te maker's service to all of us does not consist solely of placing explosives in the hands of the miner for the production of our coal and metals. The labor of thoe men in the Hercules plants is also closely connected with the most fundamental of all industries—agriculture. Their work helps to provide the food that nourishes us.
With the increase in the country's population, new agricul- tural lands are required to sustain it, and these are being se- cured by reclaiming our vast areas of stump and swamp land. Hercules Dynamite is being used extensively in developing these sources of food supply that have hitherto lain dormant and unproductive.
The sixty million acres of swamp land in this country—now a menace to public health—await the product of the dynamite maker to transform them into fertile, productive farms. It has been stated by Government authorities that one man with dynamite can dig as much ditch as six men with picks and shovels. In many sections of the country, our Agricultural Service Men are demonstrating the use of explosives to land owners and contractors. If you desire further information, write the Agricultural Department of the Company at Wilmington, Delaware. "Progressive Cultivation", a 68-page booklet, gives full information about the use of explosives for agricul- tural purposes. HERCULES HERCULES POWDER CO.
