farm products were delivered better
by trailer than by wagon.
Following are some of the advan-

ton.
One farmer says: eff a GARNER

and they do not need to be as good
when used much on the road"
Another farmer says: 81 cannot

had an automobile for motive use.
The inquiries related only to small
t~railers for use with passenger cars,
whereby the runabout or touring car
is made to serve the double purpose
of a general utility passenger vehicle
and a light truck. The farmers are
located in 10 counties of the state
and all use two-wheel trailers of
800 to 1000 pounds capacity, fitted
with roller bearings and mostly with
solid rubber tires, although two have
pneumatic and two steel tires. Re-
garding the latter, one owner says
his trailer is homemade, and the
steel tires do not stand up under the
strain.
The length of haul to market
ranges from 2 IA to SO miles, the
average being a little more than Is.
Roads include dirt, clay, sand and
gravel, and are mostly level, though
five farmers reported the roads hilly
and four others that there were some
hills. Farms vary from 40 to $50
acres, the average size being nearly
100 acres. Some owners overloaded
their trailers, the heaviest loads
hauled being 1,400, 1900 and even
1000 pounds on 1000 pound trailers
in some cases. Half the owners very
wisely never overloaded.
Many Products Hauled
A great variety of products and
articles are hauled in the trailers.
These include fruit, vegetables,
grain, poultry, eggs, meat, live cows,
calves, pigs and sheep, seed, feed,
groceries, lime, cement, spray ma
terial, trunks, tools, binders, now
ers and other machinery, fencing,
etc. One farmer reported hauling
$500 bushels of potatoes in his trail
er-probably the seasons crop.
Thirteen of the automobiles used
for drawing the ~trailers are of the %
horsepower make and are no doubt a
well known car. Others are of 25 to
35 horsepower, and two of As. Fiji
teen farmers said the ~trailers do no
harm to the cars, three that they
didn't think they did any, two, that
the cars use more gasoline, which is
to be expected, and only one, that
the trailer may" do some harm.
Three of the farmers have been
using their t~railers for six years, two
for five years, IL for four years, and
three for three years.
Unanimous testimony of the users
is that the t~railers give them mere

Meeting the farmer on his own
ground and convincing him by actual
performance of the manifold advant-
ages Of motor trucks on the farm, a
caravan of 20 trucks which recently
toured eleven farming counties of
northeastern Colorado under the aus
pices of the Rocky Mountain Auto
Trades Association successfully car
ried out a unique campaign of edu-
cation.
The tour was advertised in advance
as being "for educational purposes
only" and its progress over the
scheduled route of $50 miles was
marked by a series of receptions that
smacked more of harvest jubilees and
county fairs than the arrival of a
delegation of business men.
More than 100 demonstrations, in
which actual farm work was accom-
plished by units of the truck cara
van in one-third to one-fifth of the
time teams would have required,
were carried out before the eyes of
the farmers, and the message of farm
motorization was carried direct to
$4,000 farmers, it is estimated.
Half a million ton miles of haul
ing were performed in demonstration
work, farm produce and supplies be-
ing carried on hauls ranging from
five to 60 miles, over roads variousIy
described as good, fair, bad and rot
ten" Approximately $50 tons of
grain, SO tons of coal, 25 tons of
and 20 tons of livestock, po-
cement and other commodities
transported free for the ranch
ers.
The hardest stunts that the farm
ers could devise to test the reputed
of the trucks were successful
ly performed. At Otis, Colorado, one
of the three-ton trucks of the cara
van, carrying 20 husky farmers,
plowed through 100 feet of soft sand
creek bottom and climbed out of the
creek over a four foot bank with a
IS degree slope. At Brush a two-ton
.ruck successfully delivered 6,100
pounds of coal-a 2,100 pound over
Dad, to a ranch eleven and three
miles from town over a road
which no other motor vehicle had
1een able to pull through within the
memory of residents. The worst
of the road, called the "Sand
Ill., consisted of a stretch of foun-
lationless blow sand with a grade of
/ per cent. The trip was made on
wager of 800 that no truck of the

convoy could negotiate the hill with
a load.
No more royal reception could
have been desired or imagined than
the motorcade met with in the eight
cen towns visited. In every city the
leading civic organization united
with the automotive dealers to ex-
tend a cordial welcome, and the en-
t~ertainment plans in most cases in
cluded a luncheon, dinner or formal
banquet at which addresses of well
come and responses from officials of
the tour stirred tremendous enthus-
iasm.
Several towns declared holidays
on the occasion of the caravans
visit, and in several places the city's
hospitality took the form of open
house for all members of the tour at
all restaurants, soda fountains and
cigar stands. An unusual feature,
and one which made for the greater
success of the tour, was the dance
given each night by the truck mems
accordion orchestra. These i'm
promptu affairs did much to cement
the feeling of friendliness created
everywhere by the visit of the motor
cade.
Thousands attended the nightly
meetings at which farm motorization
and the general purposes of the tour
were discussed by H. c. Goldsmith,
secretary of the Denver AutomotiVe
association, and e. S. Foljambe, of
the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Com
pany of California, whose represen-
tatives organized the tour. Leading
local bankers also spoke in commen-
dation of the tour in various towns.
The entertainment features which
accompanied the motorcade were
warmly received. Olinger's Highland
ers band of 25 boys, a unique organi-
cation supported by the philanthropy
of a wealthy Denver business man,
gave enjoyable concerts several times
daily. The lads travelled in a spe-
cially constructed bus. Motion pic

ed attention and made a deep i'm
preston. An exhibit from the Den
recruiting office of the United
States Marine Corps, which accom-
panied the caravan, also received
much attention.
During the evening meetings, the
crowd which filled the semi-circle of
brilliantly lighted trucks took on the
of a typical county fair gather

TREASURE STATE FARM AND LIVESTOCK
STANDING
GRAIN TO SACK

A new combined harvester-thresh-
er is being introduced on the farms
of the northwest. Several of these
machines are already in use in Ne
braska and it is expected that North
and South Dakota will soon try them
out. The principle upon which they
are built has been used for a long
time on the Pacific coast where the
dry climate made such a machine
possible. The old machine has been
improved and altered somewhat in
order to work under Dakota and
Montana conditions.
The machine is recommended for
rolling country that is not too hilly.
1t cuts a 9-foot swath and can be ex-
tended to IL in light grain. From
eight to II horses are required to
pull it, depending upon the kind of
soil and the steepness of the hills II
~countered. A tractor developing 10
horsepower on the drawbar will han
die the machine under ordinary con-
ditions.
The thresher and working parts of
the harvester are run by a four-cyl-
inder motor, powerful enough to
drive the machine under any condi-
lions. Machines are also made which
get their power from the traction of
the big bull or drive wheel. In such
a case the power must be furnished
by the tractor or horses.
The thresher part of the machine
is the same as the ordinary thresh-
ing machine except that a device
has been added which separates the
weed seeds from the grain. The ma
chine does good work on account of
the uniformity with which the grain
is delivered into the cylinder. The
grain may be delivered directly into
grain tank on the side or sacked.
. platform on one side holds one
nan and three bags. Bags can be
dropped at any place by a lever.
Three men is the manpower re-
CURED to operate the machine-one
on the tractor, one on the operators
seat and one to care for the grain
This means a large saving in
Labor and will probably make the ma
chine popular where it can be oper-
ated. 1t can also be used for station
ary threshing.

Goose Deyeurs Exhibition Tao

A goose has not much identity and
when he eats the name tag that is to
tell judges and visitors at a fair to
whom he belongs, there is difficulty
for the judges if they wish to award
the goose the blue. ribbon. This was
the experience at the eastern Mon
tana fair at Glendive. The geese to
receive the first prizes had eaten
their tags and the judges were at a
loss how to notify the owner. A re-
quest was made that the owner of the
fowls apply at the secretary's office.

Trapped Bear Holds Man at Bay

A. 1t. Nee, forest ranger at the
Middle Creek station, near Bozeman,
has decided that killing bears with
an Ike is rather too strenuous for
his quiet taste. He came to this de-
cision after attempting to despatch
a black bear with his woodlands i'm
plement. The bear was in a trap,
but even at that he refused to be dis
patched without putting up a battle,
Nee made a bee line for his shack
and got a rifle. Bruin was then kill
ed without untoward incident.

The withdrawal of the interests o
the sugar company from Missoult
and the Bitter Root valley was a tenn
porary back-set to the farming inter
ests but other methods are being de.
veloped to bring steady incomes tc
the farmers. In place of the sugar
industry the Bitter Root Canning Co.
is going a long way to bring home
the bacon to the valley farmers.
By the side of the railroad below
Bass Spur is a cluster of wooden
buildings that are not beautiful to
behold but they are the beginnings
of what means prosperity to many
this year and more benefits to others
as the years go by. J.. w. McKinnin,
Jr., has been the manager the past
two years and now is finishing up
the seasons work of packing and
loading what is left of the canned
goods. About 5000 cases yet remain
to be labeled and loaded in the cars.
When this is finished the buildings
will be closed until the overhauling
of the machinery for next years run.
The active work of canning peas
began July 10, and continued for %
days, q, 900 cases being put up dur
ing that period. During the next 80
days the force was busy with cher
ries and put up $500 dozen gallon
cans, finishing during the first week
of September. Last year the product
of the factory was shipped to other
states but none was shipped out of
Montana this season, as the jObbers
close by are not willing to let a good
thing get away from them. These
canned goods are without a peer on
the market and some of the largest
grocery firms want their label on
them.
After this seasons pack was COM
pleted a crew of workers was kept
on to sort the ripened peas that will
be used for seed. This plan was
abandoned after a few days as the
work was too slow to be profitable.
AS the company has fully 5000 bu-
shells of peas to be used for seed this
work will have to be done before
next spring in some manner yet to be
determined.
Altogether 100 people were en-
ployed at the cannery, drawing $12,-
900 in wages. A day and a night
was employed most of the time.
One hundred and fifteen tons of cher
ries were bought at $40 a ton and
$50 tons of peas at $50 a ton. One
with IS acres in peas will get
$4,000 for this years crop and an
other with 100 acres will get $500.
Five hundred and ten acres had been
for canning this spring but
SO many peas were brought to the {
that the force was swamped
with work and only half the acreage E
could be handled in the green stage.
The other half was allowed to ripen.
Manager MeKinnon divulges no
plans for the future. But with the
industry taking such a stride it is
evident the company will have to en-
its present plant or put up a
one. The demand is bound to
keep up for a first class article OF c
food and the valley is delivering the q
material. e
