TRAILERS BETTER
IF MADE IN WEST

Prior to 1916, there were no trail
ers manufactured entirely of iron and
steel and the advantages of trailerized
transportation consequently were not
fully demonstrated" declared K. d.
Horrall, manager of the Bennett Lum-
Der company, factory distributors of
Utility trailers. The fast increasing
demand for transportation facilities
and the rapidly rising cost of trucks
and their cost of operation, led num-
erous engineers to give serious study
to trailer construction.
I'm the east, the trailers were all of
wooden construction, perhaps salts
factory for the service there, but d
failure in meeting western conditions.
Two of the best known engineers
in the country at that time saw the
stringent need for trailers constructed
entirely of steel and iron, and able to
stand the 'gaff of rugged western
conditions. They came west and
established an experimental factory in
Los Angeles, where they closely
studied every condition pertaining to
trailerized transportation. This fac
tory has developed into the largest
trailer plant of its kind in the country,
manufacturing perhaps the greatest
variety of its kind in the country,
manufacturing perhaps the greatest
variety of trailers. The Utility trailer
is the outgrowth of these past years
of perfecting, on the part of these
pioneer trailer engineers, and it is
claimed that not a single nail or screw
can be found in their construction,
These fastenings have been replaced
by hot rivets and bolts. These trailers

and of the same high grade materials

concentrate them for attack.

measure to the efficient work of our
syistors, and those OF the other great
powers associated with US.
Hundreds Of owners of big walnut
groves throughout America quickly
responded to the country's need for
lumber from which to fashion the huge
aeroplane propellers. No more serv-
iceable hardwood could be found. Wal
nut trees that had stood for years,
perhaps for centuries, in peaceful
farming communities or high up on
the mountain sides, were attacked with
axe and saw by armies of woodchop-

BY USE Of GYPSUM
TORECLA|MACRE
WATER-LOCCEDLA|vD

Good fortune yet may smile upon
the men of enterprise who do not deem
the water-logsed portions of the land
in the Salt River Valley and in other
portions of the southwest as worth
less.
That this water-logged land can be
reclaimed is the discovery of altruistic
scientists. The discovery that gyp-
sum, used at a comparatively small
cost per acre, is recent, and no infor-
nation in detail has heretofore been
made public.
The process by which the land would
be brought back to its original state
of productiveness is through the con-
version of the carbonate element of
the troublesome alkali into sulphate.
and, resorting to surface irrigation,
restore the lost fertility of the soil.
Gypsum is composed of sulphur i'll
sufficient quantity to accomplish the
transformation of alkali to a harm
less component of the soil. 1t may
contain as high as so per cent of sui
phur. On many soils the chief end of
overcoming the alkali trouble is not
only accomplished, but there is a bene-
fetal effect in addition.
The regionss of Ell Paso abound in
enormous deposits of gypsum. The
gypsum is sold there for about $3.50 ii
ton, and to this region freight charge
of 81 ton would make it worth, in
Guiding a retailers profit, according
to the quality, $40 to SIS a ton.
1t is estimated that on the basis of
the f--ures given above, an acre OF
subirrigated land. requiring one half
to ton of gypsum for each acre, could
be reclaimed for from 81 to SIS an
| acre.
Agricultural experts are firm in
their belief of the magical power of
the gypsum formula in its action on
the water-logged soil and are conf
dent that once again the so-caIled
waste tracts will yield abundantly
Some one has said that there are so, 900
acres of land in this valley in need of
| treatment and over which there is
much concern for it's reclamation.
