TRACTOR MAKER
TO BE ASKED TO
SHOW MACHINES
Competitive Tests to Be Made
Basis for Purchase Of En-
ergency Fleet
COMES AT NEXT MEETING

One of the most interesting tractor
contests the northwest has seen will
be staged here within the next two
or three weeks to provide the North
Dakota council of dfense with a basis
for the purchase Of 200 or 500 small
tractors which are to be set at work
during the summer and fall assisting
with the harvest and breaking up a
big acreage for next years record
breaking crop.
The proposal of the council of de-
fense that there be purchased either
with state funds or through private
subscription in each Of the counties
desiring to benefit a fleet of several
hundred light tractors for emergency
farm use has been endorsed by Gov
ernor Frazier and influential farmers
throughout the state and has received
the heartiest approval of Food Com
missioner Hoover and Secretary OF Ag-
riculture David S.. Houston. At its
next meeting, the executive commit,
tee of the council will devise means OF
financing this project and will also
ask every tractor manufacturer IN the
country to bring a machine to Bis
marck, if he produces tractor OF the
type which the council has under con-
sideration, in order that there may pc
conducted competitive tests which will
give the council some idea of the rel
ative merits of the machines.
Several members of the executive
committee majority in fact-are
practical farmers who are regarded
we'll fitted to form purchasing COM
mittee. Just how the transaction will
be financed has not been determined.
Governor Frazier, addressing the
newspaper men of the state on the
subject, intimated that means might
be discovered through which tie state
could make the purchase. He suggest
ed also that patriotic organizations IN
each county might get back of a cam
paign' for the purchase OF the ma
chimes by private subscription. In any
event, a central supply depot for parts
and repairs will be maintained at the
capital under the direction of the
council of defense, and corps OF ex-
pert mechanicians will be retained
in order that their services may be
available at any time and place where
they are needed to keep the tractor
fleet in the field. Massachusetts, Mich
igan and other states have adopted
similar plan which is meeting with
much success.

the highest annual yields for the entire
United States per acre seldom exceeds
nine bushels. We in North Dakota

ten bushels per'acre. Some have raised
very much larger yields. There are
good authentic records Of from sixteen
to twenty five bushels per acre. The
