new THRESHER
CUTS DOCKAGE
Demonstrated in North Dakota
This FaIl-Department of
Agriculture Assisting.

st. Thomas, N. D.--How all the dock
age can be removed from grain on
the farm, by means of a new type
of threshing machine, is being DEM
onstrated in North Dakota this fall
under the supervision of the United
States Department of Agriculture. De-
partment officials have estimated that
the loss to farmers from dockage
amounted to twenty millions of dol
lars in the Northwest last year, and
they are demonstrating the new ma
chine as the most effective method of
overcoming that enormous loss. The
new type of threshing machine Is in
operation at st. Thomas, North Da-
kota, from September 9th until
threshing is completed there about
the middle of October. Farmers and
threshermen from the widest possible
area are invited to come and see 1t
work. Prior to the st. Thomas dem.
onstration, the machine was at Pin
gree, N. D., for more than three
weeks, and in August it operated at
!. several points in Minnesota. At all
oie these places it was watched by
hundreds of interested observers.
SO widespread is the interest in
this new method Of cleaning grain at
the thresher that the Minister of Agri-
culture for Manitoba has invited the
demonstrators to take the machine
over the boundary for series of DEM
onstrations, and it will be moved to
Canada as soon as threshing is COM
pleted at st. Thomas. The secret of
the new method of separating lies in
the fact that a special type Of the
well-known disc grain cleaner is built
directly into the threshing machine.
When the grain is threshed in the
separator it passes through the disc
cleaner, where the weed seeds and
wild oats are completely separated
from the grain, and delivered from
separate spouts.
To farmers Of the Northwest the
disc method of cleaning grain is not
new, as it has been recommended by
the Department of Agriculture and is
used widely in various forms. Flour
mills used the disc grain cleaner al
most universally, many country ele-
vators have it installed, and more
than three thousand Northwestern
farmers have small disc cleaners on
their farms.
The latest use of the disc cleaner is
the special type that can be built
into threshing machine, now being
demonstrated in North Dakota. Gov
eminent experts believe that the
right place to clean grain is not in
the mills and elevators, but on the
farm and preferably at the threshing
machine.

27.643 FOREIGN CARS,
ENTER STATE IN WEEK
Tourist Traffic More Than Dou-
bEed in Five Years. Highway
Census Indicates.

Traffic checkers for the Minnesota
Highway department counted 229,567
cars from other states during the
week of August 9 to Is. according to
tabulations made from the returns
of the traffic census taken by the de-
partment. On Trunk Highway No.
1, near Pine City, the daily count of
foreign cars was 179, making total
for the week of 1928 foreign cars on
that road alone.
One should not conclude from this
that there were quarter of million
of visiting cars in the state that
week, bulletin from the State High
way department points out. Almost
every visitor drove past several CEN
sus takers, just how many there is
no accurate way of knowing. If a
visitor averaged 100 miles per day, he
would pass % census takers in a
week. On this basis, there were
10,435 foreign cars in the state dur
ing the week. No doubt many tour
lists go much more than 100 miles
per day, but many also stop and rest
for day, a week or month at a
time. Many of the cars counted were
iowa, Wisconsin and Dakota cars, on
local business. Taking these things
into consideration, it is a good guess
that there were $4,000 visiting cars In
the state during the week.
By taking the total of the counts
made at 25 stations on trunk high
ways which end at the state line,
we find that an average of 1898 for
eign cars per day entered or left the
state each day. Assuming that half
of these were coming in and half go
| ing out, we find that 27,643 foreign
cars entered the state during the
week This takes no count of cars
from other states entering ON county
roads, but many of these were pro-
badly on local business, while the ma
jority of tourists came in on the
trunk highways.
The highest count of foreign cars
was on No. 2 east of Moorhead, 1,277
1,265, between Lacrosse and LaCres-
cent on No. 3. The third highest at
point of entry was $40, on No. IL,
west of Hudson, although No. 80,
south of Detroit, had the higher num-
Der, S4S per day.
The number of foreign cars at the
average station has increased from
SO in 1921, when the first traffic CEN
sus was taken, to LAT this year, an
increase of 149 per cent in five years.

New Check Shows 365 Known
Dead in Florida Hurricane

Miami, Fla.-While rehabilitation
work went forward rapidly here and
in other Florida coast towns and re-
sorts, sanitary conditions resulting
from the hurricane assumed serious
aspect and American Red Cross and
state officials centered attention on
an effort to prevent outbreaks of dis
ease. Doctors, sanitation experts and
nurses sent from as far off as Chi
cago, found their staunchest ally in q
blazing semi-tropical sun which has
glared from virtually cloudless skies
ever since the storm passed. Serums
still are being rushed here from many
points and incubation against typhoid
and tetanus is proceeding as rapidly
as possible Additional surveys and
rechecks made in the storm devastat-
ed southeastern coast of Florida show
ed 365 known dead, LOO injured,
probably 500 seriously, in hospitals,
and property loss of approximately
$165, 600, 900.

Paraguay Hurricane Kills 800

Asuncion, Paraguay-The most de-

swept Villa Encacnacion, killing 300
persons, blowing down 80 per cent of
the city's houses, Gripping communi-
cation facilities and seriously injur-
ing at least 400, according to official
reports. Most of the demolished
buildings were native huts, poorly con-
structed, which offered little resistance
to the storm. Roofs were carried
miles by the storm. Relief work has
been undertaken by the Paraguayan
minister of the interior. Argentine
authorities at Poseda also are provid-
ing relief facilities and have estab-
lished hospital bases for the injured.
The Argentine president has asked.
officials of Misione province to extend
all possible aid to the stricken city.
