SALES OF IRRIGATION
 EQUIPMENT SHOWING. GREAT GAIN IN STATE.

If indications of preparations being made by land owners throughout Ari- zona are any criterion. this state will become one of the foremost in the country in point of production before a very long time.
 There are many things that point to this assumption, not the least among them being the vast amount of irri- eation equipment being sold in the various irrigation districts, which equipment of course is being installed 70 cultivate the land and raise pro- 1uction of various kinds.
 One company alone. the Western Ma c1fnery company of Los Angeles. Cal ifornis- having branch offices in Phoe- nix. Tucson and Casa Grande, reports sales of irrigation equipment running with a possibility, if sales keep up at the present rate, of going away over hat figure.
 The Western Machinery company are we'll known throughout the farm, cat .le and mining districts of Arizona. |. where their equipments are being used m large numbers. The company claims 10 be selling about eighty per cent of the irrigation equipment that is being sold in Arizona at this time and rom the number of installations they >sre making. there is no reason to ioubt these figures
 It is a good sign for Arizona that sales of such equipment are running into such high figures 1t has not been so long ago that the wise ones pre- d;c;Ad that Arizona would never be up

DECLARES FACTORY
 RATING HAS SMALL
 MEANING ID BUYER

Tt doesn't take a long memory to recollect the days when the advertised horsepower of a vehicle was largely taken into consideration by the mex perienced buyer in comparing automo 0iles. says H. T. Thomas. vice presi- dent and chief engineer of the Rec Mo tor Car company. He might have narrowed his choice down to two cars that looked alike to him and sold for about the same price, But one was rated by the manufacturer as having I motor of 60 horsepower and the other claimed only B. So he bought the First, only to find, perhaps. that friend who bought the other make could pull past him in any sort of ,ough going.
 For a time the advantage seemed to be with the tallest cIaimer for there NaS new crop of first-car buyers each spring. But the thing couldn't go on forever. The S A. F.. estab- ished basis which. while it might not be accurate for all types of motor, was at least definite.
 The question of capacity rating for motor trucks is in must the state that horsepower rating of passenger motors was ten years ago. In consequence makers tonnage rating indicates next to nothing.
 There is no standard basis for the rating of trucks. Each maker now fixes his own rating and the rating depends in part on his mOdesty. or ten dency to exaggerate. IL depends in Part on the conditions of use he has in mind when he rates fl. and further on nls own Knowledge of his own vehicle.
 Take Rec for instance. Away back SIX year ago when We designed the Speedwagon it was a pioneer vehicle IL had pneumatic tires. electric light Ing and starting, and passenger car speed-things unheard of in a truck IL was natural that we should then have rated this job conservatively.
 The SpeedWagon passed out into the hands of Reo users and little by little they began to pile more and more upon it, Now we are frank to admit that SO.00O Rec owners through the Speedwagon is stronger truck than We cared to claim for it in the be- sinning.
 No motor truck can be given d blanket rating which will be accurate under all conditions. So much depends pm a driver We cannot say whether our truck would have a capaci.y of l.5OO pounds or 5000 without knowing he conditions of use
 Some users prefer to haul large overloads on their Speedwagon and figure on buying new one frequently dther than using slower. more costly tehicles- Others keep near the ton mark. give the truck the utmost care. md have five year expectancy. And other SpeedwagOn users usually have loads of less than a ton. but pile on more in the emergency, and find that with careful driving the truck comes trough without harm.

fore important to select trailer that will operate with least resistance and will require the smallest amount of draw bar pull.
 Utility trailers, by actual road tests require much less draw-bar pull than any other make of trailer. This is be- cause of the mechanical correctness of each part, permitting greatest freedom from resistance. The wheels are ac- curately set at the right pinch and alignment is maintained by the pat ented steering device. whether the trailer is light or loaded to capacity.
 It is interesting to note that from actual records kept by some of the largest corporations it has been con clusively proved that one 5-ton truck operated with a Utility trailer in con nection uses less than a 5-ton truck carrying a 2-ton overload.
 An added refinement is the recipro- eating spring in the coupler bar. Two heavy coil springs are mounted on coupler bar bolt as shown in the il- lustration. The pull of the coupler bar bolt congresses the rear spring and in quick stops the forward spring is com pressed. The entire pull must first go through the rear spring before passing to the trailer frame. The jerk and jar of quick starts and stops are absorbed in these springs.

ST. LOUIS DEALERS HAVE NOVEL PLAN
 ID REDUCE COSTS

st. Louis automobile dealers are still finding it profitable to make use of one feature of their business which re- suited from war conditions. As a re- suit of the governmental request for the elimination of night and hoIiday service to release men to motor trans port service. the St. Louis Automobile Manufacturers and DeaIers' assocfa ion selected the St. Louis Motor Ser ice company to handle all work of his nature.
 Not only did they. discover that it made possible the release of a large number of men, but that it enabled them to reduce their expenses at d time when the manufacturers were finding it difficult to deliver them cars m adequate numbers.
 After the signing of the armistice most of the dealers continued to keep heir places closed nights. Sundays ana 1olidays, and consequently most Of the -oad trouble coming a these times is aken care of by this healthily growing war baby.

A large fleet of test cars is operated by the company a further source of information in this respect It is al ways at work. units travelling in all sections of the country and under all sorts of conditions.
 As the result of this work the de partment is in a position to supply the needed co-ordination between the pro- duction and sales organizations of the company. They supply to the tire builder a knowledge of what the con- sumner is looking for in tires. They tell the sales department what qualities the tire builder has put into his pro- duct to make it so that it will fulfill certain conditions and thus guide the salesman in his efforts to help the consumer in the selection of the right tire for his truck or passenger car.
 The plan is working well in the Fire stone organization. With changes to suit special requirements it could be adapted readily to other industries.

A motoring sensation was created in the state of Ohio when Cliff Leuders, without stop ping the engine of his Franklin Touring Car, reduced the touring time from Cincinnati to Cleveland and back. He covered the 553 miles in IS hours and 45 minutes of actual running. The odds were 4 to 1 that the previously announced time ofi17 hours could not be made.
 Covering this route at any speed is thought by Ohio motorists to be a severe test of any motor vehicle, so bad are the roads. Yet the Franklin averaged over 35 miles an hour Rain which froze on the riders and turned into blinding snowstorm added to the difficulties

of attention from pure seed growers
of the state. The Montana Seed
Growers association will have charge
of this show. which is being promot-

ed crops ana varieties. Premiums
consisting of trophies, seed graders,

and choice of prize winning seeds

A. J. Ogaard, extension agronomist
and secretary of the association, says
that this show will differ from the
ordinary grain show in that all of
the awards will be made on the
basis of good seed and in that the
samples will be tested by the state
seed laboratory for purity and ger
mination.
Seed growers and farmers may Sc
