NOVEL DEMONSTRATORS
NOW ON BROADWAY

AS every automobile dealer knows
there is great tendency on the part of
the general public TO think that when
the word demonstrator is used that II
means a car that Is 'doped" up to per-
form in a manner that would not be
duplicated by an ordinary stock car.
To meet the arguments and ideas of
these sceptcs at least in part, the Hulett
Motor Company officials conceived the
idea of, putting a stripped chassis right
out of stock into demonstration SER
vice. The idea was to exposce the ''in-
nards" of Cleveland construction TO a
maximum degree and TO show and con-
vince the prospective buyer that there
is no deception of any nature whatso-
ever employed In Cleveland demon
stration. or course this could be only
accomplished to a certain extent, as il
Is naturally impossible TO expose every
part of a car on the road.
However, a customer seated in the
seat or observation tower" certainly
can see the why and wherefore of things
that would be impossible In a touring
car. The action of the springs. brakes.
propeller shaft, universals. valve mechan-
ism. &c. is plainly visible. also the man
ner In which the frame takes the road

DON'T TRY TO PLOW UNDER
SWEET CLOVER FIRST YEAR
(By H. L. Walster, Agronomist,
North Dakota Agricultural COllege).

(By H. L. Walster, Agronomist,
North Dakota Agricultural College).
Don't try to plow under sweet clover
in the fall when you have seeded the
clover in the spring of the same year.
The sweet clover plant never gets dis
couraged, and will defeat your hope
of killing it out by plowing it under
unless you wait until it Is two years
old. If sweet clover is plowed under in
the fall of the spring Of seeding the
following spring shoots Of sweet clover
will begin to push up through the fur
fow slice, coming up from the winter
bud which still remains alive under
the furrow slice. One cannot expect
to kill out the sweet clover plant by
plowing it under until this winter bud
growth in the spring, one year after
the spring of seeding. But since spring
plOwing of sweet clover s0ds on heavy
soils is rather difficult proposition,
it is much better plan to let the
sweet clover follow It's natural course;
that is, take off one hay crop and one
seed crop or two hay crops, and then
plow under the remaining stubble.
For example: sweet clover seeded
in the spring Of 1921 will make two
hay crops in 1922 or hay crop and
seed crop and will be ready for plow-
ing in the fall of 1922. It cannot be
safely plowed under in the fall of 1921.
Do not get the idea that you can
SOW sweet clover in the spring and
plOw it under in the fall, because the
sweet clover will still be with you the
next year. 1t will come up and make
seed and produce a lot Of tall, sappy
plants that will be mixed with your
grain bundles. This habit Of sweet
clover should not discourage any one
from growing the crop. 1t should only
encourage one to handle it in the right
way. Remember, then, that although
red clover can be plowed under at any
time and killed out, sweet clover must
have some of its second years growth
before it can be killed out by being
plowed under.

DON'T PARK PUMPKINS
WITH THE ROOT CROPS

Don't park your pumpkins in the
same storage room with your root
crops, Is the advice of the vege-
table men at the state college Of agri-
culture. Pumpkins and their cousins,
the sQuashes, require dry, well ven
tilated place with temperature
around so degrees Fahrenheit, but bet
ter above than below. Root crops need
lower temperatures and rather moist
atmosphere.
SQuashes and pumpkins should first
be cured by exposure to a rather high
temperature. They should be suspend
ed above the kitchen stove or in some
other warm place for few days and
then placed on shelves in a room with
the conditions suggested above. They
should not touch each other on the
shelves.
