WASTING FUEL THROUGH LOOSE
WINDOWS.

The clearance between window sashes
and frames and between doors and
frames varies from 1915 to 1882 inch;
IN poor construction the opening may
be as much as Ii to u inch. A clear
ance of 3/32 inch is quite usual. With
wind velocity of Is miles per hour
this opening of 1892 inch would permit
the passage of about / y cubic feet Of
air every minute for every linear foot
of crack around the window. An or
binary double sash window $50 inches
vide by ~ inches high would admit
about 80 cubic feet of air per minute.
With lff6-inch clearance 20 cubic feet
per minute would be admitted.
The effect Of this leakage upon the
heating of the room may be serious. A
room 10 feet wide by 20 feet long. with
a ceiling 10 feet high, contains 1000
cubic feet of air. Assuming that the
longer side is exposed to the north or
west, and that there are two windows
with 3}32-inch clearances. and assun-
ing that the air is TO be changed COM
pleteiy once each hour. which is Gus
tomary for residential plants, 1t would
require 1900 heat units TO raise the
temperature from degrees TO 10 de-
grees, with the wind blowing at Is miles
per hour
Air Leakage Cited.
The air leakage through the clear
ances around the sash would be about
$3.50 cubic feet per hour. or one and
eight-tenths times the cubical measure
nnent OF the room. To heat this guam
tity of air, about $500 heat units would
be required, or approximately 30 per
cent more than that required for one
complete change Of air per hour. II the
wind velocity be 80 miles per hour the
leakage would be doubled and there
would be required three and one-half
times the number Of heat units needed
for one complete change per hour.
Tightly fitting windows will improve
these conditions. II the crack opening
were 1913 inch, then, instead Of 80 per
cent more than the designed capacity
being required, the additional .ieat
units would be about ~ per cent.
The advantage TO be derived from
good construction viii be appreciated In
the comfortabienesS Of the room and
realized In the fuel saving. More fuel

loosely fitted windows than in where

FINAL ACTION
RAIL MERGER
OCTOBER 3.4
Consolidation Involves Creation of
Railroad System Embracing $4,000
Miles of Trunk Line

Time for the final action in the
attempt to bring about consolidation
of the Northern Pacific, Great Nor
thern and Burlington railroads in the
northwest was fixed Tuesday, when
the interstate commerce commission
set the dates of October 8 and for
the oral arguments summing up the
evidence and legal issues.
The scheme of consolidating the
three Hill railroads involves the pro-
jected creation of a railroad sys-
TEN, which would incorporate under
single management $4,000 miles of
trunk line reaching from the Gulf OF
Mexico to the Canadian boundary and
from the Pacific coast to Kentucky.
Opposition to the merger scheme
has been continuous during the year
or more in which the interstate COM
merce commission has gathered EVIL
dence upon its advisability. While
! the majority owners of the Hill rail
roads have brought forward the plan
a minority has opposed and num-
| Der Of communities and states in the
northwest have been hostile. In ad-
dition the Chicago, Milwaukee st.
Paul and Pacific railroad as well as
other lines operating in the merger
territory have objected. In support,
the managements of the Hill lines
have sought to establish the merger
as a step toward increasing efficien-
cy, decreasing costs, and betterlng
rail service.

COUNTY GRAIN
BUYERS MEET

Last Thursday afternoon number
of grain buyers of Sheridan County
met at the County Agents office for
the purpose of discussing the grain
situation for 1928. Mr.. E. j. Bell,
wheat marketing specialist from the
Montana State College at Bozeman,
was present and gave complete re-
sumo of the protein situation, which
has been an important factor in de-
termining the wheat prices for the
past few years.
Many interesting facts were
brought out at this meeting relative
to the way in which the elevator
managers have attempted to reflect
protein premiums back to the farm
er. Practically every elevator man.
ager in Sheridan County has attempt
ed to give the farmer the benefit OF
the protein premiums secured for
their wheat when sold on the term
inal market In many cases, con-
siderable difficulty was encountered
both by the elevator managers and
farmers in marketing on the pro-
tein basis. The principal cause OF
this difficulty has been due to the
farmers not keeping their high and
low protein wheat separate at
threshing time.
There are many factors which in
fluence the protein value in wheat.
A series of tests conducted by the
Montana Experiment Station show
that the wheat that tests high in pro-
tein comes from land that has been
summer fallowed or that has had
corn on it the previous year. Also
land that has previously been sown
to clover or legume crops produces
wheat that is higher in protein con-
tent than the land that has been
cropped year after year.
After some lengthy discussion as
20 methods of handling wheat so that
the elevator managers would be bet
ter enabled to reflect protein pre-
miums back to the farmers, it was
decided to encourage the farmers to
make preliminary survey of their
fields before harvesting so that the
protein value in different fields might
be determined. Those fields running
high in protein should be binned on
he farm at threshing time and held
until after the fall rush is over.
Wheat low in protein could be mar
keted direct from the threshing ma
chine or combine at a season when
very little attention is paid to pro-
tein values by the millers. Statistics
show that, over period OF years,
the protein premiums increase after
December 1st. If the fields that test
high in protein were held on the
farm until the millers were paying
more attention to the protein values,
the farmers would be able to secure
greater return for their high pro-
tein wheat and the elevator manag-
ers would be in a position to handle
such wheat in carload lots and there
would be a much better opportunity
for them to pay the farmer on the
protein basis.
Information will be sent out from
the Extension office from time to
time explaining hw the preliminary
tests can be made prior to thresh-
ing.

WILL NAME CANDIDATES FOR

IDENCY FOR FALL ELECTION

Keynote speakers at the Prohibi-
ton and Farmer-Labor conventions in
Chicago Tuesday proclaimed a need

vim of New York, chairman of the
Prohibition national committee, de-
clared new party is needed, "be-
cause neither the Democratic nor the
Republican parties can completely en-
force prohibition because each is part
wet and part dry"
Laura Hughes Lundy of Chicago,
opening the Farmer-Labor meeting,
saw need for party realignments
because of what she termed "the
domination of the privileged few"
The parties will name candidates
for the presidency and vice presi-
dency.
Although he attacked both major
parties for their attitude on pro-
hibition, DR.. Colvin devoted most of
his speech to a castigation of Tam
many Hall. He called upon the
whole country to rise up and pre-.
vent the election of a Tammany

that the election this year will "turr
chiefly upon the question whether ma.

constitution will remain, or whether
it shall be eliminated by the A
Smith policy"
