corn produces 80 bushels per acre, and
across the fence is another field not worth
harvesting. One man buys a farm and
pays for it in three years; another goes
broke in the same length Of time One
farmer will have a gross income Of over
81, 600 from an SO-acre irrigated farm; an
other will sell less than $500 worth of pro-
ducts from a section.
A newcomer will ask 20 farmers and bus-
mess men about farming an S0-acre farm
and he will get 20 diffeernt answers. He
will ask about rates of seeding wheat and
alfalfa and the replies will be equally di-
versified. If he asks the county agTicn1-
tural agent, the agent will have to admit
that the farmers Of irrigated land have
never come tOgether-have never thrown
/ their cards on the table and said, "This Is

~ ONSIDERING the problems of
Milk River valley from coun-
~ ty agents viewpoint, 1 surrend-
er. I am willing to stand up against
the wall, raise both hands, and ad-
nit that when it comes to recon-
mending a definite program of op-
erations for an irrigated farm, l
don't know. I agree that we've had
too MANY people recommending
farming systems without knowing
much about them. Up to the present
time. most farmers have been expert
menting without analyzing their ex-
periments and cooperating to Sc
cure all the facts and factors lntlu-
encing different farm enterprises.
Fore example, let us consider the dairy
business. III venture to say that practi-
cally one hundred per cent Of the town
people especially the consumers, consider
the production and selling of whole milk
one of the most profitable enterprises III
the valley. The records of the producers
show that a very small profit is realized
and often an actual loss is sustained. Al
falfa hay is selling at from $l2 TO Sl0 q
ton and since it takes from four to five
tons Of hay to keep a COW properly fol
whole milk production, this means from
$50 to SO a COW for hay alone. The ne
cessary grain would add about $50 to $3l
a year more, making a total Of from $1C
to S125 per COW, not including summer pas
ture. Considering the cost of delivering
milk the loss of bottles, the upkeep o.
buildings and equipment, it can easily b'
seen that very close figuring is necessar!
to realize a profit from this enterprise.
profit can be realized but such factors a.
production of feed crops, high produncini
cows. cheap labor, and others must be con
sidered. The only way to work out sucl
problems is for dairymen to get together
analyze the various conditions and situa
tiOns, find where the leaks are and try t.
patch them up.

FORDS PUSHED
PLANES IN 'l6
Several Pusher Type
Ships Made BY
Kansas Man

To find Ford motors in queer
places and doing unusual work Is
not uncommon. The use Of one as
motive power for an sirplane which
actually flies is a novelty worthy Of
mention.
Several such planes we're built by
r. r.. Belt, a mechanic at Fredonia,
Kan, rs early as 1916. according 10
the current number OF the Scientific
American. These planes not only
successfully flew. but one was known
TO attain a height Of 5000 feet, a
noteworthy achievement for planes
Of that time. Other general perfor-
nance was on a par with the usual
plane of the day.
The first plane completed was Of
the now obslete pusher type. The
entire plane excepting the engine
and wheels, was homemade. Ford
wheels were used for landing.
The first machine was sold and
others constructed. The pusher type
"a early abandoned, being super
seeded by others OF the tractor type.
Ford motors we're used also in the
new models.
Although Mr.. Belt Is believed to
be the first man to successfully fly
a plane equipped with a Ford motor.
others have since been built using
such motors. However, their con-
struction is quite put of keeping with
the light, air-cooled airplane of the
present.

Introduction of the rev Whippet
Cabriolet coupe, an addition to the
Whippet line of cars, is announced
this week by the Willys-Overland
company. Unique features are en-
braced in the design Of this new mo-
del which strike a new and distinc-

two-type Cabriolet coupe TO be of
fered in the light car field and is in
cluded in the Whippet six line as
we'll.
Mounted on the low swung Whip
pet chassis. the body as a whole pre-
sents a trim and sporty appearance.
in addition, il provides the protec-
ton Of a closed car together with
the freedom Of an open roadster.
Four passengers are easily accom-
modsted, two in the front seat and
two in the rumble seat which is built
into the rear deck.
The employment Of encased pong
rubber weather stripping makes the
body entirely weathcr-proof when
the top and windows are up. IL takes
but q moment 70 convert the car
from IN entirely closed model to an

Two members Of Hollywood's mo-;
ton picture colony, a young giant
well over six feet tall and a midget
Of exactly % inches, have been
among the first to capitalize upon
the advantage Of the adjustable
drivers seat in the new Cadillac.
The big fellow is Karl Dane Of
The Big Parade" fame, and the
midget, SO tiny that he easily stands
erect in the toneau of Danes new
sedan, is Gene Adams. They are
both working in Hollywood, taking
a principal part in a new Metro
Goldwyn picture which is being film
ed there entitled "Baby Nine. They
both use the car going back and
forth to location.
The new car is Danes second Ca
dillac and both film stars were inn
mediately interested in the device
by which the drivers seat can be
moved forward or backward TO suit
n requirements Of the tallest or
shortest driver (almost). The device
is a neat silver handle mounted atop
the backrest of the front seat. A
slight turn slides the seat forward
or back.
There is n requirement, however,
and that IS that the driver be tall
enough TO reach the floor with his
feet when sitting upright. And this
- too much even for q very clever
little mar Of ~2S-inches.
However, a man as tall as Karl
Dane and many ~diminutive women
find they car drive the new Cadillac
with equal ease and comfort. The
company rlso supplies brake and
pedal extensions. so that there
can be a maximum difference of fully
five inches in the leg room of the
seat-and that takes care of
everyone as tall as Karl Dane and
those who are reasonable in their ap-
proEch 70 the stature Of Gene Adams.
