new STATE RECORD
in Horse PULLlNCS
Three Teams Tied by Mark Of
2875 Pounds First Set at
Fair at Hamilton

During the past year seven horse
pulling contests were held at county
fairs with an approximate attendance
of $4,000 jeojle. according to r. w.
Oberlin, extension engineer at the
North Dakota Agricultural college,
who had charge of the contests.
Twenty-Five teams competed in the
light class and 18 teams in the heavy
class.
A new state record for the heavy
class was established at the Hamilton
fair by two teams. one belonging to
William McConaghic, and the other
to Sandy McGillivary, both of Bath
gate. The old state record was 1925
pounds and the new record made is
2675 pounds. Later in the year this
record was tied by third team
owned by Irwin Bergen, Valley City
The record of 2575 pounds stands
for the light class. being made in
1927 by team owned by Van Swer-
ingen, Rugby.
THE purpose of these contests is
to stimulate interest in good draft
animals and to show the effect oil

After removing the debris from
the hole, square the surface opposite
the recess and place the open side
of a rectangular trough Of 18-gauge
galvanized steel two inches by four
inches by 40 inches against the pre-
pared surface. Place rigid backing
against the steel trough to prevent its
buckling under pressure. After plac-
ing footing in the recess introduce a
short jack with three-foot handle
(known as a balloon-tire jack be-
tween the footing AMI the trough and
apply pressure near the bottom end
of the trough and again near the top
of the trough.
If pressure is applied in excess Of
the pressure needed to fill the trough,
layers develop in the soil at right
angles to the direction Of the pres

filled trough. Placing the spade in

pressure toward the excavation, the

This method of obtaining soil pro-
files will be especially of interest to
students of soil phenomena, accord
ing to Professor Chapman. Further
work is being done with this method
and its admiration to 0laCiol soils.

on each variety Of vegetable or fruit
in different types of glass jars and
