SORGHUM cane Good siIage.

The experience of the past winter
proved that sorghum cane makes good
silage. We recently examined the re-
suits obtained by the Kansas Agricul
tural college in the feeding Of sorghum
silage to its dairy herd as compared
with corn silage, and these results are
very favorable indeed to the sorghum.
This silage was, of course, made from

early pruning and burning of dying
branches and removal of canker spots
on living trunks and branches are
urged. The diseased bark, ETC., from
such spot must be burned If spores

FORD BREAKS
WORLDS RECORD
IN SHORT MONTH OF YEAR DE-
LIvERED 1904 CARS FROM
lTs FACTORY.

Detroit, Mich. April 6 Another
worlds record for automobile ship
ments has been broken in Detroit. Ihe
Ford Motor &C. for the past month
has exceeded even its own world
beating records, having shipped 1904
cars in the twenty-seven shipping
days. This is an output absolutely
unprecedented in automobile history
anywhere in the world-and is a mat
ter of much comment among the auto
mobile contingent Of Detroit.

Of the Ford company. is authority for
The statement that the tremendous
Ford schedule of $4,000 cars to be
manufactured in 1912, will be pro-
duced on scheduled time as planned.
There are indications, however, that
the demand will far exceed the supply
and that the entire Ford output will
be sold before the season is much
farther advanced. The company has
not been able to keep pace with It's
bona fde orders. Long ago it made
Preparations to produce a definite
allotment of cars each month of 1912,
and it will not exceed this allotment,
even at the determined instance Of
dealers, because 1t will not run chances
of lowering it's high standard Of pro-
d%uction. Mr.. Hawkins expects, how
ever, in the current month to see an
other record smashed.

RECORD BREAKING WEEK
In SALE OF AUTOMOBILES
There Were Actually Sold and in Many Cases Delivered 244
Cars IN the City Of Fargo Since Monday Of
This Week, April j

inally intended purchasing, in order
to secure their vehicle while the sun
shone with summer warmth. The
automobile houses We'd with the mill
linery stores, and the ladies' ready
to-Wear stores and tailors in activity;
and it vas almost impossible to get in
touch with managers, owing to the
large number Of customers waiting to
talk to them.
Averaging up the cost of the cars at
$1,000 each, which is a fair average,
represents a total expenditure for
pleasure vehicles by the people of
North Dakota in five days of over
100000, which should prove to the
world at large that North Dakota has
plenty of money within it's borders.
The excellent crop weather and the
fine prospects gave the farmers an
optimistic feeling, and they were large
purchasers of automobiles during the
rush.
In the opinion of a pioneer dealer
this was the record breaking week
in the automobile business in this Sec
ton of the country, and in talking to
a representative of this paper, he said
that he anticipated that the demand
would be far in excess of the supply
for automobiles of kinds during this
season. He advises the people who had
contemplated purchasing cars to get
their orders in with their favorite
dealer as he felt sure that the factory
output would be entirely exhausted be-
fore June ].
1t was estimated hat probably fifty
of the automobiles sold during the
week will remain right within the city
limits of Fargo and Moorhead. and
a large proportion of the balance will
be used by farmers of Clay and Cass
counties, leaving about one-half which
will go to other cities in the trade ter
ritory adjacent to Fargo. AS the re-
suit of the large business done every
dealer in automobiles, automobile sup
plies and accessories is wearing the
smile that won't come off.

Plan Is EXPERIMENT
With TREES
Continued From Page One

introducing this bill originally was
that it would be a splendid thing if
the government established an expert
ment station in North Dakota primari-
ly for the purpose of experimenting
with trees, shrubs, fruits and ber-
ries. The state is among the few which
are classed as "treeless," and the sena-
tor believes that EXPERTS of the gov
eminent can determine, if proper faci-
lities are afforded, what trees. shrubs,
ETC., will do best in the soil and
climate, no only of North Dakota,
but other "treeless'' states. The n
tor predicts that great benefit will
accrue to North Dakota and other
states following the establishment of
the Mandan experiment station.
The North Dakota authorities, of
course, will cooperate heartily with
the federal experts in the work OF ex-
Fermentation.
The people of North Dakota would
be glad to plant trees if they knew
what to- plant" said Senator Gronna
to the committee on agriculture. I'VE
would gladly conserve our trees if we
had any to conserve"
In reply to the objection that the
proposal to establish the station at
Mandan was a new departure, Sena-
tor Gronna said that it was not nee
essarily a bad thing to establish a
precedent. However, he allayed the
fears of his committee colleagues by
reminding them that a similar appro-
priation could not be demanded for
many other states since the same con-
ditions prevail only in a very few. He
said he vas afraid if the matter were
left entirely to the discretion Of the
secretary of agriculture or his agents
probably a long thine would pass be-
fore anything was done, because, in
the very nature of things, they could
noe begin to know conditions like the
men who have lived for many years
in the northwestern country.

3 Chalmers compressed air Self-starter is the
simplest, safest, most reliable

This great convenfence-first introduced by us on a
moderate priced car-does away with the annoyance and
danger of cranking. 1t is dependable. You can count on
it in an emergency, as when you stall your motor in a
tight place. There is nothing complicated about it-just
press a button on the dash and away goes your motor.
We are confident that the Chalmers self-starter, built in
our own shops, as part of our motors, is the best yet de-
signed.

That Fargo is one of the largest dis
tributors of automobiles in the coun-
try was fully demonstrated this week
by the enormous sales made by the
various dealers and branch houses in
this city and Moorhead. The bright
weather caused the automobile fever
in the veins of the people, and when
they wanted "a money was quickly
forthcoming to secure them.
From April / until Friday night
the various dealers had actually sold,
and in many cases delivered a grand
total of 244 new automobiles. This
does not include the sales of second
hand cars and trades, but represented
cars actually sold, and in many cases
delivered to the people of North Da-
kota. Dealers were at their wits end
to secure cars enough to supply the
demand, and in many cases customers

ent color and design, than they orig

4 Chalmers fOur-fOrward-speed transmission gives
utmost ease of control

With this great improvement you can always select the
speed that will carry you along-through any kind OF going
in the fastest time and with the least strain on your
motor. Besides the usual high gear there is a high third
speed (for slow running in traffic or for steep hills) that
gives lots Of pulling power without racing your motor.
For the heaviest possible going there is a second speed
and for starting, the usual first speed. The four-Sorward-
speed transmission is now featured on all the best foreign
and most of the high priced American makes. In our
"Thirty-six" it is used for the first time on a medium
priced car.

Chalmers cars are not high priced. Yet they have al
ways sold primarily on their quality rather than on their
price. And we believe no other cars offer quite so much
value for the same prices or lower. You will find 1t harder
to buy moro quality at any price-impossfble, we believe,
to buy equal quality at the same prices.

Z ChaImer cars are safe cars
Note the four main factors Of safety on a Chalmers:
the heavy pressed-steel frame; the sturdy second growth
hickory wheels; the quick acting, powerful brakes; the
forged steel steering connections of a weight and strength
not found on other medium priced cars. These are things
you can examine with your own eyes. Compare the Chal-
mers with other cars from the standpoint of safety.
8 Chalmers service department is constantly

When you buy a Chalmers it Is our aim not merely to
sell you a motor car, but to help you get satisfactory use
and enjoyment of that car. For the benefit of Chalmers
owners, we maintain a well organized Service Department.
We have $75OOO0 invested in parts in this one department
at our plant and among our dealers. We also maintain
stocks Of parts in leading cities s. that you need not be

We have over 100000 invested in this business. We

equipment at cash prices. We have built up a strong or
ganization in all departments. We have the capital, the
equipment, the organization to do business on a large scale
and do 1t right. More important still, we have the de-
termination to see that our resources mean efficient service
to the owners Of Chalmers cars.

Chalmers design assures you always a car with the
most up-to-date features, but free from fads. Our cars are
designed under the direction Of our Consulting Engineer,
George w. Durham, a recognized authority among automo-
bile engineers. His policy is to be progressive, but not rad
ical; to be always in the lead, but never to use on Chalmers
cars any device or construction that has not proved itself
under the severest tests.
Chalmers design has always meant simplicity, effcien-
cy, convenience. We were among the first in America to
adopt the en- bloc motor. Our double drop frame and three
quarter elliptic springs early set the fashion and made
Chalmers the standard for properly hung. low. racy and
comfortable automobile bodies. Many features first in
troduced on Chalmers cars are now the generally accepted
engineering practice. Chalmers cars have made 1919 a self
starter year.

Ten Reasons Why You
Should Buy a Chalmers Car
/ Chalmers cars are made in our own shops

We build our own motors, our own transmissions, our
own steering gears, control levers, axles, tenders, running
boards and practically all other parts. We make all our
own patterns. We even have our own foundry for making
brass, aluminium and gray iron castings.
Our factory is completely equipped with the most mod
en machinery. Within the last eighteen months we have
invested more than half a million dollars in new specaly
designed automobile machinery and tools. Because Of all
this Chalmers cars are built with an accuracy and care
second to none.
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1912-04-06

If you are going to buy a car this spring, we feel that
these Ten Reasons should convince you that it ought 10 be
a Chalmers. Below a certain price it is impossible to get
the quality you demand in a car; above a certain price
it is difficult to get enough additional quality to Justify
the higher price. But in a Chalmers you get all you can
ask in a motor carat a medium price. We urge You TO
see the Chalmers cars at our dealers and place your order
at once.
