New Soil Fertility Bulletin

the recent agricultural bulletins
issued by the experiment station
has just been edited by the ag.
ronomy department of the State
College, under the title. A Re-
port of Progress in Soil Fertility
Investigations J. G.. Hutton,
associate professor of Aqronomy,
is author of the bulletin. which
is number AS.
The bulletin is an honest.
straight forward treatment of
the soil fertility situation in
South Dakota, and is an attempt
to answer the following uues-
tions: l. How much plant food
do the soils of South Dakota
contain? 2, What yield may
be expected from the present
supply of plant food. 3. How
long Will the present supply of
plant food last? /. What ell
ements Of plant food, if any.
are present in quantities too
small to produce the maximum
yield which might he expected
under the climatic conditions
prevailing in the various parts
of South Dakota? 5. If plant
food Is lacking. in what form
may il be most profitably applied
to the soil? 6. What systems
OF farming are most profitable?
Z. How may the fertility of the
soils of South Dakota be in
creased?
The following summary in
dlcates the importance of the
bulletin to every farmer: !. The
value Of the crops produced at
BrookIngS for five years was 81. |
per cent greater where phosphor-
Us was applied than where no
phosphorus was applied. 2, The
average value of the crops pro-
duced at Brookings for five
years was greater where phOS-
phorus alone was applied than
where any other element of
plant rood was applied or where
any combination of elements OF
plant food was applied. , II

Of the phosphorus applied yet

FREIGHT PROBLEM MET.

It's the unusual that happens in Kansas. Years ago it was unusual for a farmer to be without a mortgage; to-day the agrieu1turists of the sum flower state loan money to Wall street. The horse is passing in Kansas; the automobile is in such general use that some wag in Emporia has suggested the motor car for the state shield. !
 But it has remained for c. B. Mas sic of Westmoreland, Kan, to furnish the last word in the unusual. He's a transportation king in embryo. Citia zens of Westmoreland and Blaine look. upon him as a keen pathfinder for. economies in transportation. An old model automobile equipped for run: ming on rails has furnished the em- petus for MT. Massie's enterprise, as well as the power to pull loads in daily. trips to Blaine.
 Thousands of tons of freight had to be moved. Blaine and WestmoreIand were taking their places in the big plan of development of Kansas. question. The people looked to some other medium than the railroad for the movement of freight. MT. Massie determined to do the hauling on rails He bought a secondhand Mitchell automobile a model of tha cumulated a mark of 10000 miles ser vice over country roads, and turned it into one of the most novel traction ve- h1cles the ingenuity of Kansas has ev- CT developed. Hanged wheels of standard track tread were substituted for the rear or traction wheels, and a miniature car truck was fitted in front in place of the original wheels. No other change was made in the old Mitchell car. Not only was this ma chine able to transport it's usual com plement of passengers, but it was able to pull a series of freight cars.

sPEEDoMETER CARED FOR.

Just because the speedometer drive is subjected to little or no stress Is no reason why it should be neglected. On the contrary, it should be inspected with care, to see that it is in order, not only to Insure accurate reading of the speed, but to prevent possible ac- cidents through a, part working loose. A narrow escape from 8 bad accident recently showed one notorist the ad- visibility of attention to the speed ometer connection. The car suddenly refused to turn to the right, and on investigation 1t was found that the bracket carrying the driving pinion had become loose and had wedged in between the steering arm and pivot All bolts and screws on the bracket should be gone over at least once a month and always after a hard drive. The gear on the wheel should also be inspected, and the wheel lacked up and turned by hand to see that the pinion and gear mesh correctly.

CROSSES CONTINENT
TWICE 71t r IN SAME CAR.


 An interesting light was shed on road conditions in the Far West by a party of visiting tourists last week. in their tour from San Diego, Cal, to Chicago they traversed part of the proposed route as suggested by the National Highways Association. They found that merchants as well as mo- torists were giving its early compile ton serious consideration.
 Of the party both David Campbell of San Diego and George Sturgess or Coronado, gave expression to the statement that if the East would show one-ha1f of. the interest that the Vest erners are showing in this project its completion would be a matter of only a few years.
 From San Diego to Chicago they found the roads in good condition in deed, covering the remarkable mileage of 2, 649 miles in 12 consecutive days The greatest mileage in any one day was BAY miles, this being near Chi cago, where the motorists found ex- ceptional1y good roads.

The gasoline 1ocomotive'' has sufh- cient weight to afford good traction, is so dependable mechanically that a young man operates 1t daily, with freedom from engine trouble, and the people never cease to exhibit their enthusiasm over the novel train. that means so much in the problem of solving transp portatfon out there.
 'I made no mistake when bought of the transportation line. tsShe has given us very little trouble. and we have run her around 10000 miles and hauled about 100000 tons of freight in fifteen months, besides many passengers.

SOME IGNITION EVILS.

In most instances where dual igni- ton is provided, the switching ar engagements are so contrived that it Is impossible to have both battery and magneto in circuit at the same time. Such a, combination is possible occa- siona1ly, however, where independent switches are installed instead of a continuation switch for the entire sys- tenn. The evil of this arrangement is that sometimes an attempt may be made to start the motor with the spark advanced, under the impression that the magneto is in circuit, where as the battery is involved instead. The resulting back kick, in such an event, would be effective illustration of the advantages of a single control.

AUTO TRUCK IN BLIZZARD.

F C1eveland's survival of the worst blizzard in its history and a food fam inc which menaced every resident of the city is a story of remarkable eff1- ciency of the modern motor truck ope- rating under conditions that were as dramatic as they were unprecedented. While the city was buried under 22 in ches of snow, with drifts five and six feet high in many principal streets, with miles of fallen telegraph poles and tangled masses of live wires, with traffic completely paralyzed, street ,cars abandoned and others marooning their passengers overnight = under these conditions, the motor trucks of the leading merchants and a few tour ing cars were the only vehicles able to buck the drifts and bore their way through the heavy blanket of snow. And nearly all . vehicles that could move carried food. Real heroism was displayed by many truck crews who kept their vehicles going the third day of the storm. They were not working for the sake of business but for humanity. Hundreds of people waded through snow waistdeep to. reach the depots of the Be1le-Vernon- Mapes Dairy Company, the largest
 milk distributor in Cleveland, and then waited in line for hours to get the milk that was brought in on five ton trucks from milk trains that were snow-bound on the outskirts of the city. While a majority of the mer- chants made no effort to deliver goods the firms who operated motor trucks kept them working day and night.
 Milk was but one of the necessary supplies that ran critically low. Tons of bread spoiled in bakeries because it could not be moved. Thousands of Clevelanders, carrying market baskets, worked their way through deep snow to reach grocers, butchers and bakers. Tn 90 per cent. of the stores the shelves were bare on the third and fourth days.
 The W. P. Southworth Company and the Chandler and Rudd Company, the two largest grocery houses in the city, operating total of 12S trucks,
 were able to make deliveries on a reduced schedule and within certain radius of their stores, but hundreds of | small retailers in all parts of the city
 ran out of stock because the distribu- l tors had no delivery equipment to meet such emergency.
 It was only a few short years ago that the motor car, still fighting a strenuous battle for consideration by l the public, was considered absolutely
 as a. summer proposition and every owner prepared to store his car in the
 winter time. Now practically every
 one uses car all the year around and

ADVERTISING THE

The man who writes the copy, the man who hands it to the paper, and the man who sets it up unconsciously link arm and arm and walk up to the prospect to begin the argument.

the closed car has been gaining in popularity every winter. The grow ing demand for a closed car is evil denced by a report of the Ford Motor Company which says that the demands from their agents for closed cars is greater this fall than ever before. The use of the closed car was undoubtedly helped along by the taxicab, people seeing how the taxis operated all win ter came to the conclusion that they could use their own cars as well.
