PAPERS URGED TO
CONTINUE SUPPORT

Minneapolis, Feb. 13.-News-
papers of Minnesota, as members OF
the Minnesota Editorial association,
are asked to con tinue their support
Of the government in aiding future
Liberty Loan and War Savings
Stamps campaign, with the same pub
licity that attended the fiotation Of
the war time issues, in an appeal
sent out by A., O.. Moreaux Of Lu-
verne, president of the association.
"The war is over, but our work is
not finished" the appeal read. Our
county has contracted great financial
obligations that in honor must be
met. Another big bond issue must
be floated-probab1y! for an amount
as large as the last issue. ..4t.: s-. =.
I'VE entered the war for glorious
purpose, and we did our part nobly
and well, but the job we undertook
Is far from completed"
Concerning the part the news
papers played in the war, President
Moreaux said: r4- ass..- III"
with due regard for modesty, we
all can feel that without the support
the newspapers of Minnesota gave
our government, public sentiment In
our state favorable to the govern.
ment and the prosecution of the wal
could not have been so thoroughly
aroused, nor would it have been pos.
sible for Minnesota to have made the
splendid showing she has in all the
war activities, and especially In the
buying of bonds" M -

STATE ENGINEERS TO
HELP SOLVE PROBLEMS
T. OF BETTER DRAINAGE
fBy United Press. }

St. Paul, Feb. 13.-Engineers and
surveyors of Minnesota, meeting here
today, are expected to play a large
part in reorganization Of the states
drainage system affecting the entire
northwest. The Tri-State Flood
Control association Of Minnesota,
North and South Dakota is particu-
larry interested in the three day ses-
sion of the Minnesota Eengineers and
Surveyors associatlun.
Senator F. l.. Cliffs bill for a new
drainage system In Minnesota will be
discussed in the convention. Senator
Cliff proposes to completely organize
the drainage system for definitely de-
fining basins. The bill proposes to
do away with the present drainage
commission and establish a new body
which will devote its entire time to
the drainage problem.
~ Two years ago, evidence was pre-
sented to the senate drainage COM
mittee, showing that about sixty per
cent Of the money spent on drainage
in Minnesota was wasted. Senator
F.. II. Peterson, Moorh cad, chairman
of the present drainage committee In
the senate, said this condition was
not wholly attributable to the en-
gineers nor to the lawyers behind
the project. He declared, however,
that such waste could be eliminated.
A definate effort on the part OF
legislators, engineers, farmers, man
ufacturers and power and develop
ment managers is now under way TO
solve the entire drainage problem.

WEYAND'S new
FARM TRACTOR

The Weyand farm tractor is now a
reality and from the several demon
strations made on the streets this week
and the many favorable comments by
practical farmers, there is every reason
to believe that the new machine viii
prove to be a practical success, far
beyond any motor driven plow ever yet
put on the market.
The Weyand tractor is the inven
tion of d. c. Weyand of Glenwood, rec
ister of the L. :. lard office at this
place, and it combines many exceIleDr
features which cannot be found on any
other tractor.
One serious objection to the ordinary
tractor is the trouble experienced in
turning around at the end OF the field,
endauN Nring the machine and badly
packing the ground just plowed. Thiz
is overcome in the Weyand by an ar
rangement by which the machine runs
one way as well as the other, In 9th
er words, there is no turning aroml.
What is the rear end when the machine
is running one way is the front end
when it is going the other way. TIL"
driver simply turns his seat around and
faces the other way.
Another feature of the Weyand is
the two-way feature, thus making
dead furrows absolutely unnecessary.
This is the only motor plow we have
heard of to apply the two-way prin-
ciple.
BY another exclusive feature of this
tractor, both drive wheels are in the
burrows, thus insuring the best of
traction all the time the machine is
pulling.
These are only few of the many
excellent features of this modern trac'
tor, the first number of which is being
exhibited this week by Mr.. Weyand
at the Denver stock show.
Associated with Mr.. Weyand in the
manufacture of his new invention are
the following: d. C. Weyand, presi.
dent; Chas. w. Taylor, secretary; L,
McLearn, C. j. Shideler, J. Il. Banta,
Thos. II. lies, X. s. Hamilton, j. N.
Wyman and Otto Hahnewald.
The machines will probably be man.
ufacturcd in Denver and it is expected
that they will be placed on the market
within the next two months.

Forty farmers exchanges and other
purchasing and marketing associations
were organized. The total value of the
business transacted by these associa-
tions was $66,745 and the approximate
saving effected was $s,71O. Agents as
sisted 1862 farmers in keeping accounts
and induced 81 to make profitable
changes as the result of record keeping.
The number of laborers furnished
growers totaled 7,Oss.
Increased crop production campaigns
carried on throughout the state brought
the following estimated additional out
puts: Spring wheat, 410,5O0 bushels;
winter wheat, $4,000 bushels; oats,
26,s16 bushels; corn, lO3,765 bushels
rye, 6,lS0 bushels; barley, 20,39S bush

1920 bushels; beans, 3,6s9 tons.
Special campaigns for increased live

the following increases of stock on
farms: 1859 cattle, 6,094 hogs, l3,40O
sheep and $1,000 poultry.
Advice given on miscellaneous war
work included the furnishing of inform
alton on storage of fruits and vegeta-
bles to 4,259 farmers. Large quantities
of fruits and vegetables were canned
or dried and thousands of eggs pre-
served as the result of suggestions.
Among the most valuable of the ac-
tivities were labors to prevent the dcs-
truction of crops by insects and ro-
dents. Although it is difficult to place
cash value on improvements and con-
servation work, officials estimate the
worth of some of the accomplishments
