Preparing to Act

The Northern Pacific railway
through j. B. Baird advises the rail.
way commissions OF North and South
Dakota that it is arranging for con.
ference with other roads relative to
the establishment of lower through
rates for North Dakota Ignite to
South Dakota and Minnesota points.
South Dakota's rail board has work.
ed out schedule Of rates which has
been submitted to the railways af-
fected. A number OF questions enter
into the proposition, among the CHIEF
which is that of satisfactory car dis
tribution. The railways principal OBJ
lection to an eastern movement OF
coal is based on their contention that
this will interfere with the handling
of grain, or will necessitate hauling
emptieS west.

regarded doubtful that North Dakota

OF FORD
TRACTORS FOR
EMERGENCY USE
State Council of Defense Urges
Investment to Help Fall
Flowing
OTHER STATES ARE IN LINE

The purchase of not less than $50
Ford tractors TO be used as an emer-
gency farm fleet next fall will be pro-
posed to county councils of defense
by the North Dakota Council OF De-
tense, Assistant Secretary George Y.
Halliday announced this morning.
These tractors sell for $3.50 f. o. b. De-
lroit and the plan will be for each
county to purchase as many Of these
little steel horses as it can pay for
through funds raised by popular sub
scriptiOn or otherwise Each OF these
tractors will pillow an acre Of lard an
hour. A fleet Of $50, in a ten-hOur
day, would plow $500 acres each
working day, and it is believed, in
view OF the shortage OF labor and
teams in this state. that they would
render farmers great service.
The North Dakota Council Of De-
tense, If the plan works out, will main
tain in Bismarck a corps OF expert
repair men whose services will be
free to all counties employing these
tractor brigades. 1t will also as
semble here complete collection OF
repair parts which will be supplied at
cost.
Massachusetts as an emergency war
measure has invested in 1000 OF these
little tractors. and Michigan has in
vested in a large number of them,
whose operations are directed through
county defense councils. The plan is
meeting with favor here, and prob
ably will be placed in operation this
fall, when a reserve equivalent of at
least 1000 teams and men will be
made available to the farmers OF the
