Unless it was a tiny stump, he used more than half a stick! The stuff isn't that powerful.
Could have been more; this was back in the 50's and my memory has probably faded some. I recall as a kid, my Dad worked in the aggregate business and they often used dynamite. He had some that had been frozen, and he said it needed to be destroyed. He stuck the individual sticks in the sand, and let me shoot them with a rifle. Not being confined, the explosions were rather unremarkable. I know that confined, they are much more impressive.
