ency to retain it's shape while drying in the
open air. When air drying is complete, the
resultant slabs have their moisture content
reduced to 25 per cent or less. In this slab
form it be used fuel in the home or
in factories, but when it is ground up and
made into atomized fuel still better results
are obtained.
Much Money in Peat
1t is figured that this fuel peat, CONNER
cally dry and loaded on cars for delivery,
will cost only $3.50 per ton. 1t is hoped that
the cost will never run above $2 per ton.
Then, if the whole peat supply in the United
States were valued at a selling price of $500
per ton, to include a profit for producing it
and transportation charges, the total wealth
represented in the peat beds of the country
| is the stupendous sum of $45, 500, 900, 900.
The deposits in Minnesota alone would rep
resent $24, 800, 100000, a sum almost equal
to the cost of the world war to the United
States.
Where the peat deposit is only five feet
thick, the yield of peat is thousand tons
of commercially dry peat to the acre. Over
a large area thirty miles northwest of Du-
luth the peat deposit is ninety feet thick,
which means that the yield per acre will be
IS 900 tons. The Garnett process enables
one machine to make from three to five tons
of dry peat in an hour. Other mechines are
in process of development, some Of them In
use. One machine is designed especially for
making the peat into DrlquetteS Tor nome use.
This use of peat is leading to the installation
of small peat plants near communities where
there is no great amount of commercial use
for peat but where households make mar
ket for fuel, saving freight charges by dig
ging it close to where it is to be used.
Peat fuel can and will be used in gas pro-
ducers, for it developes gas easily and regu-
larly and this process allows the saving OF
the valuable by-products that the peat con-
tains. Some of these are ammonium sui
phate, creosote, petroleum, oils, asphalt and
charcoal. The Europeans, particularly the
Germans have developed this phase under
the pressure of necessity, due to the loss Of
former coal fields. In fact, the report is that
they are now doing about everything eco
nomically with peat that they once did with
COAL
Nor is this the limit of this unusued Won
der worker The black humified peat makes
fine cattle feed after being dried down and
screened. This peat powder acts as an alb
sorbent and roughage for the high power
feeds made from the resdues from beet and
sugar refineries and it is very easily di-
gested. Peat is also used fertilizer filler
and absorbent of the more volatile constitu-
ents. 1t has steady market for this pur-
pose. And it is to be remembered that the
burning of peat for fuel will make for cleaner
| homes and cities. Peat produces very little
smoke and a small residuum of fertilizer ash,
which is mighty good for the garden

Building Ub the Farms
Eht1APO INC 1aTMerS OF NE UnlLeu
States do not realize it, bit a writer


recently suggested very aptly that one
of the great and sweeping improvements
that are being made in the farms both as
homes and as busnG~j C~tcIprises, is being
wrought by moneys taken from taxpayers
who are not farme-s farm owners. 1t is
the highway funds which being lavishly
spent in practically every section OF the coun-
try to build good and substantial roads
through the rural districts. 1t S of such i'm
portance that inhabit 4nts of the rural COM
munities may we'll credit it to the accounts
they keep of their neighbOrs who live in the
cities. They should remember it on Sundays
when great swarms of motor cars stream out
from the larger centers of population, kill
chickens now and then and occasion more or
less frequent stampedes among the live stock
in their pastures.
1t is true that there are vandals of the
highways. Thieves and bootleggers use high
| powered machines on their missions of evil
and there are occasional thoughtlcss drivers
who try to make race tracks wherever they
are allowed to travel. These must go; but
| because they exist in rapidly decreasing num-
| bers, is no reason for prejudice against mo-
florists in general, the vast majority of whom
| are homecoming andeupright citizens.
| The actual market value built into farms
! of the United States by the improvement of
| high avs, paid the national, state and local
authorities, can be reckoned only in billions
of dollars. These improvements have added
| enormously to the price of we'll located farm
property. They have transformed countless
| thousands of farms, formerly placed at low
valuations, into high-class investment prop
erty.
Special taX:s on automobiles have repaid
the farmers many times in the upkeep of
the highways they use, for all the losses and
! harm they can charge to the city-owned
motors.
Now millions of farmers have their own
automobiles as they well deserve to have.
| They profit personally by the enjoyment OF
the roads built by the taxes of the entire
population, while the opportunities wrought
| by the Improvement OF the highways which
| automobiles need, have added enormously to
the wealth of the nation.
1t is source of pleasure to note the de-
cline in the spirit of intolerance which once
e jewellers in rural districts showed against
motorists. Motoring is no longer O City
Sport and it will continue to grow in popu-
l larity. Its growth can mean nothing less
| than continuance and expansion of the
great programs of roadbuilding which are
being carrieL out all over The country; when
this is consummated there will be no town
and no country. We will all be neighbors.

Dollar Votes

primary election in the Kentucky noun
tains always has unique features, but the
least one oddly. The three state and nation
al banks in Perry county voluntarily closed
their doors early, after $4,000 81 bills had
been checked out, it is believed, for use in
buying votes.
One of the banks paid out $4,000 81 bills,
another $4,000, and a third 10000.
The Perry county supply or 81 bills was
exhausted. Cincinnati correspondents for the
banks were called on, with the result that
plenty more were furnished but the banks
finally agreed to close until the election was
over to prevent as much alleged vote pur-
chasing as possible.
