LEADS IN NUMBER
ALL-STEEL CARS
Rock Island Foremost Among
Western Roads for Number
Of New Coaches.

Investigation of the equipment used
by the railroads of the country,
brought about by the recent disaster
on the New York, New Haven and
Hartford, has developed the interest.
ing fact that in the number of steel
coaches the Rock Island is the best
equipped road in the west
From the time that the steel cars
were first introduced this road has
been foremost in adding them TO its
equipment II is probably one OF the
few in the country that is not suffer
ing acutely from the lack of steel
Pullmans at the present time. Be-
cause Of their noncollapsible tenden-
cies, II is generally considered almost
certain that all railroads will soon be
forced to use this type of coach.
Even should not legal action force
the roads to use the steel coaches, the
fact that the Pullman Car company
has discontinued making any other
kind IS taken as an indication that the
days of the flimsy wooden car has
passed.

SILO filling ~.
EQUIPMENT
A.. c. PROFESSOR GIVES SOME
FACTS REGARDING THIS I'M
PoRTANT sUBJECT-sAYs THAT
FEW FARMERS IN N. D. CAN AF-
FORD TO BE WITHOUT sILo.

Silo filling equipment is discussed
as follows by c, F. Chase, professor Of
farm mechanics at the n. D. Agricul-
tural college:
There are as many sizes n makes
of ensilage cutters as there are of
silos, and the prices paid for them will
vary as much.
Few farmers in North Dakota can
afford to be without a silo. A silo will
cost from 5000 to $500, depending up
on it's size and the material from which
it is built. There is a greater range
in the cost of equipment for filling
silos than there is in the cost of the
silo itself.
Intensive farmers are finding it
more economical to use n of the
small sized cutters and put into the
silo a less amount of ensilage each
day. This allows time for settling,
saves the labor of treading and in
most cases will do away with extra
hired help.
In some localities the enclosed,
sheet iron, single chain, web carrier
is taking the place Of the blower. Such
a carrier and cutter requires about
tWo-thirds as mucha power for operat-
ing as the blower cutter does.
The following table, with exception
of cost figures, taken from data found
in four recent trade catalogues and
representing averages shows the ca
pacity and power required for different
sized cutters:

BULLETINS POPULAR

Poster No. l on flax cropping meth
DDS, issuel in 1911 by the department
of botany, proved so popular that an
other large edition was again issued
this spring. A number of firms in
Canada considered it of so much i'm
portance that they requested to have
an edition put out for special distri-
button in Canada, using the imperial
gallon n other features fitting the
work to Canadian methods. Over s.
600 have been printed and forwarded
to different points in Canada.
Bulletin No. 3O1, the title Of which
is Cropping to Flax on New Lands of
Semi-Arid Land Areas, by H. L. Boil
ley and NJ. l.. Wilson, has proved to
be of SO much interest to the farmers
in various dry land regions that a new
edition is now being run through the
press. The better farming organiza-
tons in Colorado ordered over 1000,
and Saskatchewan and Alberta took
$500 copies in one purchase.
This bulletin is distributed only
| upon request, and the demand for the
same in our own state has essentially
| used up the first edition. Persons
| wishing copies of the poster No. l Oh
OF the dry land publication No. 103
should write for them at an early
date.

not administer such laws in Fargo

N. D. BOYS WILL
RAISE CORN

A number of North Dakota boys
tered the State Acre Yield Corn con-
test held under the direction of the
Better Farming association in 1912,
and succeeded in producing higher
yields than the farmers of the state.
The first prize vas won by a 12-year-
old boy in Ransom county. The total
of cash prizes won or his corn and the
money obtained through the sale of his
seed corn amounted to $170 for the
acre. Several boys in other counties
won from $25 to $50. The contest will
be renewed this year with even more
liberal prizes, and the entries will be
limited to boys between the ages of
10 and Is years. In all, 800 in gold is
offered to the boys producing the
highest acre yields of mature corr in
the state. The state is divided into
two sections. a northern and a south
ern. The first prize in each section is
SIS. Fourteen minor prizes are offer
ed, the lowest being $40. A sweep
stakes prize Of 500 is offered to the
boy producing the highest YIELD for
the state. This mean that the boy
producing the highest yield of mature
corn in North Dakota will receive SITS
in prizes. In addition to the prizes
offered In the state contest, many
counties are carrying on local contests
in which considerable prize money is
to be awarded. This Is a splendid OPP
p%ortunity for the farm boys between
10 and Is years of age to show what
they can do in the way of corn pro-
duction. The requirements are sim
pie: at least mi acre of corn must be
grown under field conditions; the corn
must be a variety which win mature,
and must be SO handled as to produce
the best possible yield.
Entries may be made through the
field agents of the Better Farming as
ISOLATION or by sending names direct
to the secretary of the Better Farming
association at Fargo. Entries must be
made before May 20.

LUGER BACK FROM EAST

Peter Luger, of the Luger Furniture
store. returned this morning from New
York city, where he has been for the
past three weeks, on a business and
sightseeing trip. Mr.. Luger reports
that things are very lively at this time
in the east, and predicts thai they will
be the same in the northwest during
1918. While in New York, he attend
ed several of the big league baseball
games and was very much impressed
with Broadway and the great white
way.
