Strange to say, the yield per acre was
surprisingly good as far north as the
Canadian border. AS in all such con-
tests, special and unusually favorable
circumstances resulted in some re-
markable accomplishments in corn
growing. Out of a four acre lot, for
instance, one grower harvested seven
ty-one and ~seven-tenths bushels Of
mature hard shelled corn to the acre.
Such achievements are interesting,
but the main proposition is affected
rather by the ordinary thar the extra
ordinary I'm cases of this kind.
Wheat is supposed to be the one
staple of North Dakota. just as cotton,
for instance, is supposed to be the one
staple crop of Georgia. Georgia has
been striving to work out of the one
crop system for years, and has sue
ceeded to a large extent in doing so. 1t
would be impossible to overegtimate
the value of North Dakota of the abili-
.ty of its farmers to diversity their
crops. From all accounts, they have
this ability. Moreover, there is no rea-
son why, through the naturalization
of the corn kernel, 1T cannot be grown
some way In the present great wheat
belt of the Canadian prairie provinces.
The wheat kernel that has trans
formed that territory and enriched the
dominion was not much less alien to
the soil at the beginning thangwouId he

ING MOTORING EASY.

To battle the storm king in his. as
saults on motoring comfort has been
long the aim of automobile. designers
and body experts. Improved wind
shields n tops. have helped some
what toward this end. There are now
on the market a number of practical
automobile stoves and footWarmers.
Special brands of robes and cold wealth

enclosed body types multiply on city
streets in all their glory of coupe. Sc

Many motorists, whose means per-
init maintain separate equipment for
old-weatheFmotoring. But the aver
age man either garages his car on
blocks during the coolest weather, or
else does his best to last it out, muf-
fled well in furs and getting whatever
benefit he can, from his side curtains.
Only one who has struggled In zero
weather with refractory curtains,
knows the discomfort which this sys-
TEN implies. To sit inside a car and
TO reach put a bare hand, above the
door, buttoning up a gap conveniently
accessible only from without, is a pro-
cess that robs a winter motoring trip
of much of it's zest. When frequent
stops are made, as in the case of a
physician making his rounds. the dis
comfort and lost time become an in
creasing annoyance. ~.
1t recently occurred to one of the
Studebaker engineers that the side
curtain might be made to swing with
the door. He worked out a curtain of
this kind and found 1t necessary to add
only a few pieces of supplementary
construction, easily removed when
open sides are desired. The advan-
tage was SO plain that the plan was
worked out to a logical conclusion with
a series of curtains which would tight
ly enclose the entire passenger COM
partment of a Studebaker "20' road
ster. One of the details is a flap from
the top which clips snugly to the top
of the windshield, effectively closing a
joint always troublesome with the old
style curtains. With the doors closed,
the new Studebaker system makes a
car perfectly. tight. excepting two small
holes for ventilation, at either up
per corner of the top.
1t is believed that the Studebaker
plan is p~atentable, and exclusive rights
will be asked for. In the meantime,
the Studebaker corporation is arrang-
ing to manufacture a limited number
OF Studebaker 20" roadsters, equipped
with the storm curtains and designed
especially for doctors, contractors and
Others who will appreciate a light,
closed car, affording Easy entrance and
egress and capable of being transform
ed, on short notice, into a standard,
open type.

North Dakota in Corn Belt

Christian Science Monitor: 1t was

fessional crop statisticians, farmers
and grain operators to circumscribe the
worlds grain growing area very mar
rowIy. They were practically a unit
in holding that the limits of the wheat
Yield would Don be reached. But Ar
gentina and western Canada upset all
of their calculations and predictions in
this particular.
Later. alarming statements with re-
gard to the corn growing area began to
appear. 1t was said, for instance, that
practically all of the corn land in the
United States was under cultivation,
and that, judging from experience. the
crops in the newer districts would dim

ments carried on during a number of
recent years have proved the utter fall
lacy Of the impression that the Dakotas
are too far north for the successful Gull
tivation of this cereal. Matters had adj
yanced in North Dakota last spring
to the point where it seemed ~expedient
to demonstrate the corn growing abil-
ity of h soil and climate to the salts
faction of the country at large.
This demonstration was brought
about by a contest organized under the.
auspices Of the North Dakota Better
Farming association. The contest ex-
tended into every available district of
the state. From the sowing of last
spring. Secretary Cooper of the associ-
alton reports a harvest in every way
satisfactory and in some respects most
surprising.
The total number of farmers enter
ing was 513. The prize winners num-
Der was twenty-three, The average of
mature corn produced by these was
fifty-two and ~two-tenths bushels to the
acre. This compares ~favorably with the
average In the recognized corn belt.

The Cadillac has enjoyed many successful, many extraordinary
seasons.
1913 is eclipsing all former successes.
Never in its history has Cadillac enthusiasm been SO strong, so
widespread, SO pervasive as now.
The new car has literally taken the country by storm.
The handsome lines, the deep soft upholstery, the yielding springs,
the riding qualities Of almost vdvety %smoothness; the quiet
engine Of abundant power, the ~feXibility and the remark
able ease of control; the standardization of parts, the dur
ability, the simplicity and the economy of maintenance; the
practically 100 per cent efficient Cadillac Deco electrical
system of automatic selfcranking and electric lighting,
noW az its second successful gear on the Cadillac; these
and almost countless other marks of distinction, stamp the
Cadillac as a car which leaves nothing to be desired, nothing
really worth while which a greater expenditure will procure.
The Cadillac production is large-15,O0O, cars for 1913-just one
OF the great elements which make possible the Cadillac car
at the Cadillac price.
Before the new model was announced, dealers had contracted
for this entire enormous output. They had also placed
orders for several thousand more, our acceptance of these
additional orders being conditional upon our being able by
some means to supply them. Nv

Without seeing the car or even its photograph, more than 3,oOo
individual purchasers placed their signed orders. They had
confidence in the Cadillac car and in the Cadillac Company.
Four thousand of the new cars which have already been delivered
have vastly intensified the early enthusiasm. They arc
proving that the confidence was not misplaced. They are
confirming the wisdom of those who placed their orders IN
advance.
Nearly everyone you meet is-to use a common expression-"Sold
on the Cadillac" There seems to be almost none left who
are not convinced of Cadillac pre-emlnence'
As we said at the outset: We believe that orders for nearly every
1913 CadiUac-incuding those for spring and summer de-
liveries-will be placed before winter it half over.
1t behooveS you, therefore, to arrange for as early a delivery as your
dealer can give you.
BY needing this advice-given you in all sinccrty,-you will avoid
disappointment. You will also avoid the necessity of COM
promising on some other cara proceeding which almost
invariably results in an unSatisfed longing in the mind Of
the man who has once concluded that the Cadillac is the
car he wants.
