some remarkable results with alfalfa.
He got good stand on six acres by
breaking the ground the last of July,
disking 1t three times, narrowing and
cross-harrowing two or three times,
dragging twice. sowing 20 pounds per
acre OF seed broadcast, narrowing
1t In and rolling the ground. This
was In 1906. The alfalfa grew about
four inches high that fall and was not
cut In 1907. 1t yielded about two
tons per acre. but in addition $50 pigs

Pauidino Banker Shows How Sugar
Beet Culture Increased Prosperity.

That the establishment OF the sugar
beet industry In Ohio will result In an
Increase OF S20,OO0000 in the value OF
farm lands In the state by the end OF
the present year Is the statement of c.
H. Allen, a banker of Paulding, o.
"Ohio and Indiana should become as
great producers Of sugar.a jas Michigan"
said Mr.. Allen, land they will unless
hostile legislation by congress inter
feres with the natural development OF
this industry. In Paulding county
alone, although the beet sugar factory
here has been in operation only two
years, the value OF farm property has
increased 100000 as a result Of the
Introduction of sugar beet culture. An
other result has been the investment OF
100000 or more In other beet sugar
factories in this section OF the state
within the past year, which In turn
will vastly increase the value OF the
farm land surrounding them, adding
100000 or more to the agric ultural
wealth OF this region.

First Motor Caravan" Will Cross Continent

The Goodrich Company has sent a

It Is the desire OF the San Francisco

for the California metropolis, to also
demonstrate the possibilities of a great

One OF the most important men in the
Paige field organization has hit upon a
plan that promises excellent practical re-
suits. This distributor is c. L. Sturte-
want. president Of the Paige-Toledo Com
pany.
Mr. Sturtevant's plan has nothing 20
do with cars, trucks. armored vehicles or
munitions, but is a contribution to the
solution OF the perplexing food problem.
Being the owner OF a good sized piece
of land only twelve miles from Toledo
he determined to make it not only pro-
ductive. but useful to as many individuals
as possible. The soil is rich and well
adapted TO the raising OF garden vege-
tables and fruits.
The Paige-ToIedo Company plows and
prepares the land for the crops free OF
charge. Each man is given a day of
each week to work his plot and he is
also given transportation in Paige cars
to and from the gardens. These men
will therefore not only add TO the pro-
duction OF food and help solve their own
living problems, but will also have the
benefit OF a very healthful activity.

square miles. All of the important poin.s
have been marked. more than 100 monu.
ments being now on the field. Among
them is one erected to Jennie Wade, the
only woman killed in the engagement.
More than 100000 was expended
and 1t il considered that this battle
field is better marked geographically
and artistically than any other In the
world. Five steel observatories occupy
different parts of the field SO that every
part of the battlefield can be seen to ad-
vantage. Here Lincoln made his famous
speech upon the dedication OF the Ma
tional Cemetery, November 10, 1858. The
battle itself was fought between the Fed
eral Army of the Potomac, under Gen.
George Meade, and the Confederate
Army OF Virginia, commanded by Gen.
Robert z. Lee.

new DESIGNATIONS
FOR ARMY TRUCKS
War Dept. Acts on Society of Automo-
tive Engineers Recommendation.

At the meeting of the standards COM
mittee Of the Society Of Automotive En-
gineers recently held in Cleveland It was
decided that recommendations should be
made to the War Department Motor
Transport Board that military trucks be
designated by arbitrary terms instead OF
the more usual terms Of tonnage capac-
ity. In accordance with the recommenda-
ton the War Department has ordered
that the lighter military trucks hereto
fore called the 11t-ton. shall be known
as Class A trucks, and machines for
merly designated as 3-ton shall be called
Class B trucks.
Minimum engine sizes have been speci-
fed for trucks of both classihcations, In
the case of a four-cylinder engine the pis-
ton displacement has been placed at ai
cubic inches for the Glass A truck, which
means that II the engine is of the four
cylinder type, the bore might be ~ inches
and the stroke 81 inches. For the Class
B truck the minimum piston displace-
ment Is placed at 4l3k cubic inches
which corresponds In the case OF a four
cylinder engine with a bore of ~ inches
and a stroke of 61a inches.
One reason for the change Of termin-
ology is that both trucks actually possess
considerably greater carrying capacity
than was indicated by the old tonnage
rathg, lot service uhuer all Ordinary
conditions. Thus they may be used
where the going is good. under loads that
would by no means fit the old ratings.
The truck standards division is still
carrying on its work with regard to mill
tary truck specifications. A meeting will
be held in Washington at an early date
to take up details with reference TO parts
and features not ordinarily found in COM
mercial practice. the object being to IA
cilitate maximum production and to pro-
mote interchangeability.

.MOTORCAR men DEVISE
PRACTICAL PATRIOTISM
Paige Distributor Offers Solution by
Giving Employees Land to Cultivate.

What can 1 do TO show my patriotism
in a thoroughly practical and effective
manner?
Men in the motor car industry, like
thousands in other lines. have been ask
ing that question-desiring. so far as they
are individually concerned. TO convert
the wave OF patriotism that has swept
the country into something moro useful
than mere flag waving. Motor car manu-
facturers have already come forward
with offers OF their factories for govern
ment service. While IL is not likely that
many OF these factories will be trans
formed into munitions plants, yet the
motor car and the motor truck will un-
questionably be a vastly important fac
tor in military operations.
Dealers and distributors. however, have
not the same opportunities as the manu-
facturers and most of them will have TO
devise other ways Of doing their bit. but
what that BIT shall be is the problem.
