PERFEcTs NEW ROAD DRAG

Park Rapids Enterprise: G. E..
Spencer, road engineer, and r. E. Den
nett, patrolman, have been trying out
this week new road drag that Mr..
Spencer designed and had made. The
drag IS proving success and Mr..
spencer, who has had large amount
of experience in road work, does not
hesitate to claim that he has found the
best, fastest and most economical
method of dragging roads that has vet
been shown in this section.
The drag is Vshaped, with the point
cut off, leaving an opening about three
feet across and is hailed along the
road with the wide end first. The cut-
ting edge measures % feet, IA on
each side Of the center, and the weight
OF the drag is about 500 pounds.
The motive power used was Make
A-Tractor on Ford, and Mr.. Spencer
in the trials made Tuesday covered
four miles an hour. It is expected
that speed of five miles an hour will
he accomplished before the final ad-
lustments of his tractor are completed.
This would be equal to ten miles of
dragging by the old method of one side
at time, and the work is done in bet
ter shape with the new drag Where
exceptionally hard places were found
in the road Tuesday two men stood
on the drag and the work done was
considered good.
Experiments of this kind are help
ing to solve the road problem, and will
result eventually in the maintenance
II excellent roads at the minimum of
expense.
Wednesday the drag was operated
on the road between Park Rapids and
Nevis, where good dragging was bad
~ needed and the road is said to be
materially improved.

APPEALS TO SOUTHERN M1NNE-
sofa FOE HELP
Because FARMERS in northern Min
nesota, North Dakota and Montana are
being forced to sacrifice their livestock
on account of the drouth and the short
age Of forage, the State Committee on
Food Production and Conservation is
appealing to southern Minnesota farm
ers for assistance. "
The committee is not asking the
farmers of southern Minnesota to con
tribute to the aid of their less for
tunate northern brothers, but is asking
them to save every ounce of straw and
hay for purchase and shipment bv
farmers in the drouth-stricken regions.
Members of the committee say that
oats straw will be worth $40, and
wheat straw $3.50 ton for feed this
winter, and that every particle of it
should be saved to meet the need of
those who have breeding stock they
may wish to save. y
The committee is appealing to the
southern Minnesota farmers to assist
also by saving corn slower, by plant
ing fall rye for pastures and putting
up unusual amounts Of silage, in order
that they may have extra feed with
which to take care Of cows and heif-
ers bought from among those that
have been placed on tie market by
farmers in the drouth regions. The
committeeman say that such feeding
will give profit, on account Of the in:
creasing home demand for breeding
stock next year, and on account of the
demand for breeding stock for deliv-
cry in Europe after the war.
The situation is very grave and mer-
chants, bankers and ali interests are
urged to get behind the farmers and
help.
