Al Mardi Gras Ball

The 150th anniversary Of the
Louisiana Purchase will be
marked here with an elaborate

this month.
The gala celebration will be
staged by the Louisiana State
Society February 13 at the Stat
ler Hotel.
Highlight Of the ball will be
the re-enactment of the transfer
of Louisiana from Spain to
France and then to the United
States as 1t took place in New
Orleans in 1903. The cast will
be brightly dressed in costumes
of the period.
Felix M. Broussard, president
Of the society. said the ball will
be the "most spectacular and
elaborate" event staged outside
New Orleans, where the official

Secret King and Queen.
The ball here will be presided
over by a king and queen whose
identity will remain a secret until
the night of the event. Mr.. Brous-
sard said the king will be one
Of Louisiana's most distinguished
citizens and will represent the
spirit Of the pioneer American
who came into Louisiana after
its acquisition. The queen, he
said, will be a beautiful South
ern belle" whose family lineage
will represent the Creoles of orig
inal Louisiana and the Acadians
who settled there.
A court of Is princess repre-
senting each of the states which
were carved out Of the Louisiana
Territory are to be selected by
the various state societies.
In addition. twelve queens
from Louisiana will be guests at
the ball. They have been Sc
lected at festivals in the state.

from the fuel is converted into
useful work.
Compression ratios are meas
ured by the number of times the
volume of air in the cylinder is
compressed before the fuel ex-
plodes. Let us say that the COM
preston ratio of a diesel engine
is 16 to THAT is a full stroke
of the piston congresses the air
in the cylinder to 1/16 of its orig
inal volume-while the compress
sion ratio of a gasoline engine is
to l, or the gasoline engine only
squeezes a charge of air to 1/6
of its original volume.
Needs Lower Compression
In the gasoline engine the fuel
and air are mixed together in a
carburetor before the charge en-
tiers the cylinder. If high COM
preston were applied to this
mixture it would explode before
the piston reached the end of the
stroke.
In diesel engine, air alone is
compressed to a high pressure, or
to 1/16 of its volume; the tenn
perature is high, and at this point
a charge of fuel is injected, an
explosion occurs and the piston is
sent on its way doing work. The
heat energy of the fuel has a good
opportunity to be transformed
into mechanical work as the ex-
ploded charge expands from one
volume back again to sixteen
volumes.
The thermodynamics of the
process is long and tedious, but
can we say it this way: A given
amount of heat energy in a given
volume of compressed gas in the
cylinder of an engine can better
be converted into mechanical
work if the gas is allowed to ex-
pand Is times as it does in a
diesel engine, than when it only
expands 6 times as in gasoline
engine.
A Glorious System
The story is too long. 1t is suf-
ficient to know of the wonderful
efficiency of the diesel engine
The old steam engine could
hardly apply one half of its
strength in moving a load. The
other enc half was lost in its hot
breath into the atmosphere. L
was glorious system, the thrill
of which we would like to pas:
on to the next generation.
But when we realize how
wasteful it was we may be glac
to hand to them the diesel en-
CINE with boiler and all com
bined in one small unit, burnin,
its fuel right in the cylinder witt
great efficiency. Of course w
must do even better, but tn
diesel engine is one long step i
the right direction.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1953-05-01
DR.. Diesel

THE DIESEL engine has been
here longer than we realize. Ru-
dolph Diesel was born of Ger
man parents in Paris in 1858. He
was trained in the best technical
schools of the time, and was
aware of the inefficiency of the
steam engine. His vision was a
better source of power, an in
ternal combustion engine-one
without a boiler or steam pipes
from which heat is lost, but hav-
ing the heat developed right in
the cylinder of the engine itself.
There had been previous at
tempts to make such an engine,
even one using gun powder as
fuel. In 1892 Diesel had taken out
patent to burn liquid, gaseous
or solid fuel in the cylinder of an
engine. His first actual engine
was made to burn powdered coal
forced into the cylinder with COM
pressed air. In attempting to start
this machine an explosion oc-
CURED which almost took his life.
Like all other courageous in
ventors he drove on, and in 1897
built a successful engine operat-
ing on petroleum fuel. Within a
year the design was put into COM
mercial production in St. Louis
of the U.S.A.
The Submarine
Development was rapid. BY
1913 the diesel engine had made
the submarine possible. DR.. Diese.
was a successful man of SIS. He
had been to America, and in {
speech pointed out that we now
had power from new and unused
resources, and that here in thi.
country there would be the great
est use of the new source O
power.
In September, 1913, just few
months before the great war, h
was bound for London across tn
English channel. He never ar
rived with the drawing and val
liable papers he carried. Their
was much speculation about hi
disappearance, and among tn
possibilities it was suggested tina
he knew too much to 60 to Eng
land.
High Efficiency
DiesePs original idea of inject
ing a charge of fuel into cylir
der where air had been CON
| pressed to a high pressure was
| good one. The reasons that til
| diesel has higher efficiency al
| because it has a higher compre
| sion ratio than the gasoline Ell
| CINE, and because its explosi1
| temperature is lower. The low,
| the temperature of an engine IL
| less are the losses to its surroun,
| ings, and thus more heat enere
Montana farmer-stockman., 1953-05-01

INADEQUATE SUPPLIES of fer
tilizer in Montana, as well as in other
parts of the United States, makes it
doubly important that those ma
terials now available be used in the
most efficient manner possible. Even
when the supply situation improves,
which should not be too far away,
getting the most out of the fertilizers
applied should be the goal of every
grower that uses them.
The fertilizer recommendations
made by the Montana Agricultural
Experiment Station are changing
continuously as research points out
new methods of increasing the eff
ficiency of fertilizer use. However,
regardless of how recommendations
may change in the future, the grow
er must know what is in the fertilizer
he is using. This will become increas-
ingly important as the number of
materials marketed in the state in
creases. Perhaps a brief review of
fertilizer language" will help along
this line
Carriers of Nutrients
The most important consideration
in the use of different fertilizers is
the realization that a fertilizer as
applied is carrier of one or more of
the nutrient elements needed by
plants. For example, superphosphate
is carrier of phosphorus, ammonium
nitrate contains nitrogen, and mu-
riate of potash provides potassium.
Mixed fertilizers will contain two of
these elements while complete fer
tilizers carry all three.
Every fertilizer manufacturer is re-
quired by law to label his product
with the guaranteed percentage of
available nitrogen, phosphorus lex
pressed as P205), and potash lex
pressed as K2O). In the case of mixed
fertilizers, these percentages are
given in series of three numbers,
the first number always giving the
percentage of nitrogen, the second
the percentage of phosphorus P2O5)
and the third the percentage of pot
ash (K2O).
A 10000, for example, will con-
tain 10 per cent nitrogen, 20 per cent
phosphorus (P205) and 0 per cent
potash CK20). A 1920, on the other
hand, will contain Is per cent nitro.
gen, 20 pei. cent phosphorus P205)
and per cent potash (K20). The
grower, then, must determine how
much OF each element he wishes tt
