America Operates
50 Per Cent of AU
Autos of " OrLG

WASHINGTON. Aug. 1. - The
! United States operates about 80 per
cent of the worlds 27,6j0,000 pleas
ure and commercial motor vehicles,
according to I. II. Taylor, of the
motor division OF the commerce de-
daptmeni.
The world automobile census re-
veals that on January | there were
23,5iS,92S passenger cars, l94,374
busses and 3,936,965 trucks in op-
Grafton in the world.
In addition there were l,726,24t
motorcycles, the only branch Of mo
tor vehicle operation in which the
United States does not far SurpasS
the rest of the world combined.
United States has 22,l37,334 auto
mobiles of all types in use the first
of the year, an increase of 6,o56,039
or 45 per cent since January |, 1924.
Three years ago there were about
1881 .407 automobiles outside Of the
United States. Expanded to 5,5f2,-
933 BY January /, 1927. the increase
has been SO per cent in registrations
in this period.
'In the United States we have
reached that point in the develop
ment of domestic automobile mar
kets where more than 30 per cent Of
the units sold are to replace those
retired from service" Taylor said.
This accounts for the fact that
although sales in United States con-
tinue to increase. the tendency is
toward a lower percentage of regis
tration advance from year to year.
Since in the aggregate the newer de
veloped markets SO influence our
automobile export sales, the peak in
percentage increase in registrations
in the outside world is still far in
the future"
1t was pointed out that automobile
registrations in the United States in
creased only 10 per cent last year,
whereas registrations in the rest OF
the world went ahead by 20 per
cent. The year 1927 saw 2,0S6,058
automobiles added in the United
States, while the rest Of the world
had additions of but 977,960 units.

SELECTING POTATOES
FOR EXHIBIT AT FAIRS

r. G. Rose of the Extension Staff
at University Farm is sending out in
structions to boys and girls club
members of the state, as to the selec-
ton of potatoes for show exhibits. He
says:
dig potatoes carefully to avoid
injuring them. If the potatoes are
not quite mature the skin will be
very tender and bruise easily. I'm
mature potatoes should be left lying
on the ground until they are thorough
ly dry before they are picked up,
in order to tougher the skin.
"When the potatoes have dried, Sc
lect medium large potatoes of good
type. Wrap each potato separately
in newspaper before you place them
in baskets. Select two or three times
as many as are needed for exhibit,
so that you can go over them later and
pick out the very best.
Before the potatoes are sent to
the fair, unwrap and lay them on a
table or bench and with an old shoe
brush or soft hairbrush gently brush
of all dry particles of soil. This will
leave the potatoes with dull finish
on the surface. Never wash show
potatoes or they will become shiny
and unfit for show.
after the potatoes have been
cleaned with brush, lay them on the
table in rows and select your sample,
picking out medium large potatoes
without bruises, scab, or scurf. Wrap
the tubers separately in newspaper
and pack them in box or basket for
transportation to the fair. If the ex-
hibit is to be stored for later. show,
keep it in a cool, dark place"

LIME FOR ALFALFA II,
A YEAR IN ADVANCE

The best time to lime in preparation
for alfalfa seeding is year in adj
vance, according to bulletin on
Lining for Alfalfa" by F. J. Away
and C. O. Rost of the soils division,
Minnesota Agricultural Experiment
station. In fact, lime may be applied
two or three years in advance Of seed
ing without any loss in beneficial
effects.
If, however, one wishes to seed a
piece of alfalfa in less than a year,
he can get good effects by applying
his lime several weeks in advance.
The effectiveness, says the bulletin
which is for free distribution on ap-
plication to the division of publica-
lions, University Farm, st. Paul-is
much increased by thorough mixing
with the soil. Usually lime or ground
limestone is best applied after plow-
ing. Then the disking and narrowing
in preparation of the seedbed provides
the necessary mixing.
The farmer who decides a year in
advance to seed an area to alfalfa,
where lime is needed, may very well
spread his limestone and then put the
field into corn. The limestone will
not damage the most sensitive young
plants.
Fall lining has many advantages

Speak to Farmers ut Meet

Solution of the farm problem"
lies with the farmer himself, de-
clared c. F. COLLISION, A. r. Kroh
and l.. A. Campbell, Greater North
Dakota association speakers, who
talked to a large audience at the
New Palace theatre yesterday aft
ernoOn.
North Dakota is rapidly reach
ing its solution as result of an
increase in the number of dairy
cows, swine and corn acreage, Col
lisson declared in his talk.
He urged farmers to get away
from the "one-crop" idea and
pointed out that wheat has failed
to make profit for the majority
Of North Dakota farmers for the
past 10 years. Mcintosh and Nor
ton counties were cited as exam
pies Of what financial progress a
county could make if it went in
for dairying and diversified farm
ing.
Minnesota was used by the
speaker as an illustration of what
dairying could do for a state, a
showing that the greatest num-
Der of automobiles are to be found
in those counties which engage
extensively in dairying.
l.. A. Campbell, immigration
| agent for the Northern Pacific
spoke on some Of the problems
which the dry-land farmer in
western North Dakota and eastern

er what he must do in order to
farm profitably in this country.
THE farmer must have a money
and feed reserve for a sticking
plaster for the hard years." Camp
bell said, and declared that "a
living without wheat" was another
important point.
Dry land irrigation was dis
cussed by the speaker, who dis
played diagrams to show how i,
could be done in Morton county
and the rest Of the western part Ct
the state.
A. r. kroh, known as the Billy
Sunday of Agriculture" spoke on
the progress North Dakota has
made and offered suggestions
whereby the farmer might hell
himself.
