New S'nge Reached in
.Curter Construction

Another stage of construction
progress on the fluid catalytic
cracking unit of the new Carter
refinery in Billings was reached
this week following almost ST.
multaneouS completion of the
huge Regeneration shell and two
large catalyst hoppers.
With these major installa-
lions in place and part of the
structural framework towering
100 feet above the ground, the
"cat" unit is beginning to shape
up in an impressive approach to
its ultimate distinction of be-
coming the tallest and most
conspicuous part of the refin-
cry.
Based % feet above the
ground, the Regeneration reach
es to an altitude of 1903 feet
and has an inside diameter of
26 feet.
In addition, assembly of the
! massive reactor vessel of this
unit is now in progress, accord
ing to H. G. Gunter, Carter con-
Struction manager. A hundred
feet above the ground the cone
like base of the reactor already
has been installed in the struc-
ture and work will bertn next
week assembling the prefabri-
Gated sections of the upper part
of the 78-foot vessel which will
have an inside diameter of 20
feet.
Installed on the ground adj
jacent to the catalytic unit,
both storage hopperS, capable
of holding 500 tons of catalyst,
will be Enthusiastically tested
Wednesday. In order to get a
desired water temperature of go
degrees for the test, a locomo-
tive will be brought to the site
to provide steam for mixing
with water pumped from the
river. On the same day the sed-
imentation tank of the. boiler
plant will be tested in a similar
manner.
From a tonnage standpoint
the reactor vessel will be the
most massive of all major in
stallations of the "cat" unit,
with a weight of $50 tons. The
regeneration weighs 1875 tons and
the 124-foot fractionating tow
er, installed about three months
ago, weighs lit tons.

FU)Gruin Association
Launches Drive for
1907 PdritY Support

Northwest grain farmers are
spearheading a new national
drive on Congress for 100 per-
cent of parity farm price sup
ports. The drive was launched
as nearly 1000 stockholders and
delegates of Farmers Union
Grain. Terminal Associ a t i n
wound up their eleventh an
nual meeting in st. Paul, De-
cember Is. The three-day meet
ing opened December Is.
Action was taken in a resolu-
ton which overrode the appeal
that Senator George D. Aiken of
Vermont, co-author of the
Hope-Aiken flexible farm price
act, had made before the meet
ing the night before. Under the
bill, the flexible supports could
be lowered from the present 80
percent to 60 percent of parity
of SURPRISES grew too big.
The delegates by their action,
calling for 100 percent of par
ity price," made it clear that
the parity formula itself should
be made over, and that the new
price program should be backed
up by a big expansion of coon
and farm storage for national
security and welfare.
Operations of the grain CO.
operative in the spring wheat
states for the past fiscal year
have been excellent, General
Manager Nd. w. Thatcher told
delegates. He reported that the
farmers grain marketing oper-
atoms in the big markets earn
ed them net savings of $3,517,-
DAB, bringing the cooperative's
net worth to more than $17,000,-
600.
