DE. WORM DRIVE TRACTORS.
CoIt--strntton Co. Il Developing
This Business.

The Colt-Stratton Company, metropol-
itan distributors of Dodge Bros motor
cars and Day-Elder motor trucks, in
collaboration with the Elder Manu-
featuring Company Of Newark. N. j..
are having built number OF Day-Elder
semi-trailers to satisfy a number Of
orders taken for this typo of vehicle.
They are especially adapted to lumber
work and other materials requiring
length of body and the orders taken by
Colt-Stratton for these Jobs are mainly
from firms dealing in such materials, al
/ though it has become generally under
stood that the six wheel combination OF
tractor and semi-trailer Is thoroughly
feasible in most every line Of work and
does not necessarily have to be confined
! to materials requiring extreme body
length.
The correct method of course In get
ting the greatest efficiency out Of these
vehicles Is to have a number OF semi
trailers being handled by one tractor.
Usually three trailsrs can be taken care
of by one tractor-that is one trailer
| being loaded. one unloaded and one be-
| this plan is adopted naturally excessive
| loading and unloading time Is minlmized
in its relation to the operating cost of
the amount of material hauled, but even
Without the employment of several trail
ers in the plan a material saving can be
effected through the fact that tractor
OF say three tons capacity can safely
| carry a six ton load In combination with
semi-trailer The operating cost Is
| very frequently reduced almost one-half
| and In those lines of business where the
operation of several semi-trailers is
feasible the saving is materially multi
| piled.
| Already the attention of transporta-
ton experts Of very large firms are In
vestigating the possibilities OF this six
wheel combination and the Day-Elder
Manufacturing Company through their
distributors In New York are in a posi-
ton to supply tractors in any capacity.
The Colt-Stratton Company is develop
ing a very satisfactory business in this
| field They also have data at hand to
| show interested purchasers the saving
kthat could be applied by the use of
/ this six wheel combination.

as long and as flexible and as carefulfE
designed as are those used under large
and heavy cars, and they give as good
results.
The sturdiness with which tho
chassis is constructed makes deprecis-

from inherent qualities of fitness of line
and contour of work correctly done.

twenty-nine inches long, develops moro

for hills and acceleration. 1t Is simple

IMPROVEMENTS FOR TALLuLAH
Editor Madison Journal,
Talluiah, La:

Talluiah, La:
There is great need of Tallulah
getting away from antiquated meth
DDS and getting on a modern idea
basis system.
The income from the light and
water plant and tax system amounts
to about S850.00 per month.
/; The city should issue bonds for
S5o,0O0.00. About $15,OOO.OO of this
amount should be invested in a mod
ern oil burner engine and the bal
ance should be used to grade and
gravel the streets and put in proper
crossings. This amount should put s
inches of rolled gravel on the streets.
An expense of $4,000 per month
should pay all salaries and give a "a
hour a day electric and water serv-
ice. There should be a surplus of S5,-
10000 left in the treasurery at the
end of each year with the present
income. The interest coud be paid
and bond retired each year.
These bonds could be paid in 30
years or less without an extra dollar
paid in taxes or increase of rates.
A normal growth of the town and
efficient service would increase the
income of the light and water plant
very largely.
This should be done at once be-
fore more private electric plants are
installed. A TAX PAYER.

CORN FOR THE DELTA

Now that we have resolved to re-
duce the acreage of the 1919 cotton
crop, what crop or crops shall we
plant on the extra lands? If the res
olutions to reduce the cotton acreage
had been adopted in the fall. would
say plant some to oats and small
acreage TO wheat. but we are near
ing the spring CT the year and spring
rain should be Dlanted rather. spar

ing home feed. With these facts be-
fore us | unhesitatingly Recommend
70 the planters and farmers of Madl-
son Parish that they plant large
acreage to corn and peas.
| have yet to see farm that IS
not prosperous where an abundance
of feed crops are grown, especially
corn and peas. Live stock are always
in good condition and the fertility of
the soil is kept up.
The three essentials Of good corn
in any locality are good seed, good
soil and good tillage. By negiecting
to give rroper attention to a"v or"
of these the yield nav be greatly de
creased. B. rnrefTI "+t"~''N" -
three the yield may be increased to
~,a~i~'um. PROBABLY tho essential
deserving of the most attention at
this time is that of the seed. Proper
attention to the selection and care
of seed corn would increase the aver
age Louisiana corn yield rot less than
twenty-five per cent. The difficulty
of getting perfect stands les m =
entirely in the improper attertlon t.
the selection of seed corn. A care
full attention to this one particu ar
point offers a LARGE opportunity for
increasing the yield of corn.
Characteristics of Good Seed Ears.
There are certain characteristics In
ears of corn which indicate high
yields per acre, and which should be
observed in selecting seed corn. The
best shape for an ear of corn IS as
nearly cylindrical as possible. This
is desirable for two important
reasons. In the first place a taper
ing ear usually means less amount
of shelled corn to the cob than If the
ear is cylindrical; it means either
shallow grains near the tip or the
dropping out of rows, neither of
which is desirable. The second reason
for selecting cylindrical ears is that
such an ear of corn bears kernels of
/ nearer uniform shape AID size thar
the tanerirg ear, thu Civin" NC"
even distribution of the seed by the
planter. 1t is not desirable to select
ears with wide spaces between the
rows. The ear should be solid and
compact, the butts and tips should
he VOL fled out with deep, regular
karnels This is imnortant because il
gives more corn to the ear. The shape
! Of tho kernel ard the size Of the cob
ere also Important and should not be
