Economy Of Buying a Press.

The advisablllty of buying hay
press depends upon the amount of
hay to be baled yearly. the likelihood
needed and the rate charged by those
making a business OF doing custom bal
ing. Whether Il Will pay the grower
TO own n press depends upon whether
the total cost of baling, including la"
Dor, repairs, interest and depreciation.
is less than the rate charged by the
custom baler.
The practice of balng hay directly
from the windrow or cock originated
In the semlarid West. where the wealth
er does not often interfere with hay
making. This method he's also spread
to the alfalfa and johnson grass land
areas of the South, where the wealth
er often is unfavorable. II is popu'
lar because II saves labor as com.
pared with stacking or putting hay
into the barn. For instance, IN Kansas
and Nebraska II requires about IL
man hours and 1 horse hour TO put u
ton OF, hay into the stack with stuck.
er nfser It has been brought to the
stack with a push rake. The cost of
labor for stacking alone, during 1913.
was about 90 cents ton. This work
is entirely eliminated when hay is
baled from the field. the saving of In.
Dor being much greater In sections
where II is customary TO handle hay
lby hand. Growers are able to extend
the hay'making season by baIing part
of their hay from the wlndrow during
propltlous weather and stacking OF
holding the ballng until the rush o.
work is over.

to stake the front end of the press.
II has smaller hour capacity than

quires a well-tralned team to operate
II to capacity.
Large Growers Use Power.
Large hay growers and shippers who
buy and bale large quantities OF hay
generally use power presses. These
are In common use In sections where
the usual practice Is to bale hay from
the windrow or the cock, such as the
alfalfa and Johnson grass and prairie
hay sections of the South. They are
sometimes used In preference to the
two-horse type on alfalfa aud Johnson
grass hay farms. even where the hay
acreage Is comparatively small, say
from 80 to 75 acres, for the reason that
they will bale hay about twice as fast
as 1t could be done with n two-horse
press, thereby greatly lessening the
danger of injury to hay due to bad
weather.
AS power to drive hay presses, the
steam engine. portable or self-pro-
pelling. has been almost entirely su.
perseded by the gasoline or Kerosene
engine. With a gas engine there Is no
need for an engine and n water haul
er, A few owners employ an engineer
when doing custom ballng with fast
working crew. because he keeps the en-
| glne going and saves expensive loss OF
time on the part OF the press crew.
When the crew is hired by the ton the
men are not paid for time lost on ac-
count of a breakdown, and In such
cases engineers are not often en-
ployed. Usually one OF the press
crew looks after the engine when 1t re-
quires attention. On farms where
tractors are used, II the tractor Is not
needed for other essential work when II
Is time to bale hay, the belt power
press should ordinarily be used. since
Il costs less than the motor press, and
since 1t would not be good business to
use motor press while tractor
stands idle.
Thorough discussion Is also given In
this government publication to the i'm
portant features OF power presses, the
difference between the llght-duty and
heavy-duty presses, the longevity OF
the press. as well as facts about the
economic operation of these presses.
The capacity uf the press depends, to
u large extent. upon the skill of the
crew operating II. The average power
press should bale from 20 TO 80 tons
in 10-hour day The capacity OF a
power press under average conditions
is about twice that Of two-horse
press.

SUPPORT OF VICTORY
LOAN is ASKED OF
GEORGIA FARMERS

Farmers throughout America are
urged by leaders of the farmers
unions and cooperative associations
to put their full force behind the Vic
tory Liberty Loan campaign April Fl
to May 10, in an effort to roll up the
largest subscription ever recorded for
government securities.
A statement addressed to "the
farmers of America" and signed by
thirty-fve association officials, includ-
ing Charles S. Barrett, of Union City
Georgia, president of the National
Farmers Union, has just been issued!
The statement follows:
No finer patriotic service was
ever rendered than when the
farmers of America, short of
labor, credit and farm supplies,
still grew the increased crops
without which we could not have
won the war The farm women
and children gave their labor in
the fields and the farms sent
more than a million of their best
to join the colors. The more
that is known about the war, the
more gloriously our farmers
part in it will shine.
The Victory Liberty Loan
Drive begins April 21st and con-
tinues until May 10th. We APP
peal to you, farmers of America,
to finish what you have so well
begun. Make this loan as SUI
peru as the war crops you have
raised. See to it that the farm
ers lead in putting the Victory
Loan over the top.
Make your participation in the
Victory Liberty Loan both in
money and service, the measure
of your devotion to the great
cause of democracy-the democ-
racy for which many of our boys
have made the supreme sacri-
fee. Let your subscription and
your effort be both an offering
of thanksgiving for the return of
peace and the means by which
the world may measure the
strength of your patriotism and
your determination to see to it
that the war shall not have been
fought in vain.

VERY INTERESTING
HOG EXPERIMENT
Experiment Station VIII Seek Best
Ration To Feed For Hard
ening Pork.

Atlanta, Ga. March.-What is the
best and most efficient food for
creating "hard" pork? That is a
problem, and an important one, which
it is proposed to solve through tests
which have just been determined
upon through cooperation between
the Georgia State Bureau of Markets
and the Georgia Experiment Station
at Experiment.
AS the result Of a conference be-
tween Director H. P. Stuckey of the
Experiment Station and Director L..
B. Jackson of the State Bureau of
Markets, it has been determined to
secure 80 pigs weighing from 70 to
80 pounds each, divide them in lots
of ten, and feed each lot distinct
and separate ration.
In this way it will be pissible to
make careful test of eight differ
ent varieties of hog feeds, and the
result will be noted both in the ag-
gregate weight of the hogs and the
quality of the pork produced.
These hogs will be kept in different
enclosures at the experiment station,
so that there will be no possibility
of their getting any but known
food and known quantity In this
way it can be determined exactly
what given ration will do. The
results of these important tests will
be given to the farmers of Georgia
in a carefully prepared bulletin, as
soon as they are completed.

The first field work of the Dixie
National Power farming demonstra-

brought a crowd estimated at close
to 10000 persons to the field.
Tractors moved to the field early
this morning. and plowing and disc

strations continued until darkness
set in and the crowd didn't thin
until late in the day.
The crowds were stretched over
huge field. on one end of which
was a camp" where the various
farm implements were shown, tents
for headquarters were not pitched
as originally planned. because of the
inability of the tractor people to
get onto the field early.
Thousands See Demonstration
Out on the field the thousands of
visitors followed first one tractor
and then another, in groups of a hum
dred or more at time. They stood
on the sidelines at times just as they
would do at football game, and
watched the iron horses" travel

Republic Truck Distributors
Predict Prosperity in

Business in general and the truck
husiness in particular are due to set
Aew records for activity and prosper
fty during 1919.
That was the unanimous opinion,
freely expressed, of prominent Re
public Truck distributors recently called
10 the factory at Alma from specific
parts of the country for the purpose
pf getting the dealers views regarding
two new models which the Republic
Truck Company are just putting on the
market-The Model 1s, Republic "In-
vincible" with a capacity of 2-2is tons,
and the Model 90. Republic Dread

meeting was an informal conference.
The regular annual convention of Re-
public Truck distributors recently called
called in Alma at a later date.
The company wanted to ascertain
The exact conditions in different parts
of the United States and also get
first-hand opinions on Just how these
new models met the requirements of
every section.
In both respects the response was
enthusiastic and convincing. Without
an exception the dealers declared that
they looked for an unprecedented de-
mand for trucks in their territories this
year. They spoke of orders already. in
hand and in prospect far in excess of
anything they have known in previous
AI
thuslastic over the new models offered
them.
Naturally some of the dealers had
different hauling conditions to face than
others and different industries on which
they depended for their volume. But
each declared that the new trucks more
than met all requirements and were the
most sturdy. powerful and all around
we'll balanced trucks of these capacities
that had yet been offered to truck users
In his address to the visiting deal
ers President +. w. Ruggles empha-
sized the splendid condition of the
Republic business both from a sales
and production standpoint. He said
that in spite OF the tremendous strides
already made the truck industry was
still in its swaddling clothes and the
progress still to be made by Republic
as remarkable as was the quick growth
during the last five years.
The conference continued for three
days and the entertainment provided
for the distributors, parts makers and
the Republic organization was very elab-
borate and unusual A big banquet was

sanlzation are acknowledged spe-
cial1sts in transportation and they
study the requirements of each
purchaser SO that the truck select
ed may give him the highest pos
sible returns on his investment.
Packard trucks are designed by a
staff of engineers who have spent
years studying the economical prob
lens of thousands of business men.
Dating back from the beginning of
the trucks manufactured in 1908,
the extremely high standards set by
them are achieved by an exact pro-
cess Of manufacture based on the
most scientific and economical meth
DDS known. Only the best materials
are employed. and every operation
must come within the closest prac-
ticable limits of accuracy. All cor
responding parts are identical. This
standardization insures complete in
terchangeability and is the only
propet guarantee of adequate serv-
ice to owners.
In every truck there is incorpo-
rated a substantial margin of
strength over and above that gen.
erallys' conceded necessary to with
stand the checks and stress of the
most severe service.
The Packard line consists of seven
sizes of worm drive trucks. The
fourspeed transmission, control lo-
Gated chain speed lever, and
thermosist are among the improving
factors that make for additional
power greater convenience and u
most rigid economy of operation.
The apportionment of wear
throughout the entire chassis is an
important economy feature. In all
cases the wear falls on the least ex-
pensive. most easily replacable parts.
rather than on the most expensive
ones. AN Packard trucks are de-
signed and constructed so that the
Packard starting and lighting sys-
tenn can be quickly installed at
minimum expense.
