A chain fastened to the front axle of an auto-turn wagon, the Otter end bOlted to the tongue, takes the strain off the tier0d assembly when the tongue is pulled around to a full turn. This works better than tongue stops and reduces the tendency for steering parts to buckle on sharp turns.

The days of the horse and blow (pictured in the lower half of the above drawing) is practically a thing of the past on American farms. Machinery is more eco nOmical and gives greater eff ciency. As a result farm prOduc- tiOn has reached an all-time hit in this country.
 Included in the property are a granary, acres of greenhouses and an airport.
 Beltsville scientists first tested DOT and the amazing chemical FAD. They are constantly ex- perimenting with cattle, chickens and swine.
 Only one of the stations crea- tions bears it's name. It is the Beltsville turkey that just fits an apartment sized oven.
 The station, like those in the other 48 states, is a major. guard ian of the country's forests and farms, food, clothing and future health.

Seottle-Anehorage Route Permanent Certificufion
 Asked by Northwest Line

Northwest Orient Airlines has asked the Civil Aeronautics Board to provide adequately for the future air transportation needs of Alaska on a sound econ- omic basis by making permanent Northwest's certificate to operate between Seattle-Tacoma and An chorage, and between the Twin Cities, Edmonton and Anchorage. Northwest's program for Alas ka's future air service was pre- sented to c. A. B. Chief Examin- CT Francis Brown by George Hatch of Seattle, the company's Western Region sales manager. Hatch testified that introduction of Northwest's new DC-6B's and turbo-compound super Constella- tions, to be received late this year and early in 1855 from the manufacturer, would assure for future the movement of people and goods between the States and Anchorage. "The public interest requires that Northwest be auth orized to operate unrestricted States-Alaska service over its present route segments," Hatch told Chief Examiner Brown.
 Northwest did not oppose re- newal of existing certificates of Pacific Northern and Alaska Air lines over their present routes, but opposed the certification of any additional carriers on the Seattle-Tacoma to Anchorage route.

Agriculture Hits :. Efficiency Peak
 Experimental Forms
 Test Production Ways

American agriculture has reach ed peak of efficiency unequaled in all the centuries man has cul- tiVated the earth.
 Farmers today operate ma chimes. unknown to his grandfa- ther. that till his fields, mend his fences and milk his cows. He plants seeds from which grow foods and fibers unheard of in this country a few decades ago.
 He raises streamlined pigs that arrive in larger filters and give more ham and bacon, and sheep with longer, finer wool.
 Much of the advancement is the result of experimental farms maintained by the federal govern ment. One such station is main tained at Beltsville, 12 miles from Washington.
 It is the largest experimental farm in the nation. It contains 11,000 rolling Maryland acres. There are 2,000 employees, $50 buildings and 5 miles of roads.

Rototion Is Important, But Not a Cure-AII

As every farmer knows crop TO- aations are mighty important in slowing down erosion, saving top soil and water and building tilth, but it is not a cure-all And cer- tainly, rotations alone won't grow top yields.
 The University of Missouri re- ports that tests there have proved that fully fertilized corn grown year after year will actually out yield corn grown in rotation that is partially fertilized.
 Corn with. full soil treatments averaged 97.6 bushels an acre in three year continuous test. Corn in rotation with red clover, plus lime and starter fertilizer aver aged only 76 bushels.
 In another test, wheat yielded 30 bushels. Wheat grown in rotation made only 15.3 bushels.
 But rotation is: still important. Yields jumped to 111.3 bushels when corn in rotation got full fertilizer treatment that gave the crop all the balanced nutrients it needed for the entire growing sea- son. Wheat yields also increased. , The Missouri agronomists re- ! ported that the legume in the TO- ; tation conditions the soil to make maximum use of the full fertilizer feed for corn.

BOSTON, Sept. 1.-The wood
en- belfry Of Boston's Old North
Church, from which shone the
signal lanterns famed by the
poet LoHgfellow In Paul Re-
vere's Ride" was destroyed by
yesterdays hurricane.
The window where the lanterns
were placed as q warning that
British troops were starting out
to destroy the military stores Of
American patriots at Concord
had been q part Of the church
since It was built In 1723. It was
in the square wooden clock tower
rising from the brick substitute
ture Of the church tower and
surmounted In turn by slender
steeple designed by the famous
architect Charles Bullfinch.
Tower and clock, steeple and
weathervane 1.-The latter fash
toned by 18th century copper
smith Shem Drowne-feu to-
gether and crashed in wreckage
to the pavement. The marks
made by the tools Of the crafts
men Of the 1700's were still
clearly visible on the old tim
bers lying in. the street in front
Of the church.
The Bullfinch steeple was
new" in 1906, for a hurricane
In 1904 tore away the old steeple.
But that storm did not harm the
belfry which In turn survived
the later hurricanes Of 1888 and
| 1914.
Some $4,000 visitors came to
the church in 1953--remember-
ing Longfellow's lines telling how
the sexton, on 18th Of April in
'Seventy-Five:
$50. climbed the tower Of the
Old North Church
BY the wooden stairs, with
Stealthy tread
BY the trembling ladder steep
and tall,
To the highest window in the
wall =.

ment of Agriculture reported the
hurricane blew more than LIS
million bushels of apples, nearly
ready to be picked, from the
branches of trees. Heavy damage
to the apple crops also was re-
ported In Maine.
An Agriculture Department
spokesman said the corn crop in
Massachusetts, was destroyed,
half the peach crop was damaged
and the tomato crop suffered
heavy loss. Crop damage was es-
timated at SIS million in MaSsa-
chusetts.
Damage in Connecticut was
fairly general in a 25-mile belt
bordering Long Island Sound.
Water Covers Train Tracks.
New Haven Railroad trains
ground to a halt when food
waters covered the tracks be-
tween New London and Westerly.
About 1000 passengers of one
stranded train had to be taken
to their destinations by buses.
New York City suffered traf-
fic snarls and felled power lines,
but escaped major damage.

In Westerly. r. L., automobiles
parked on the main street were
covered by the flood waters.
About 200 summer homes were
reported swept away by the hur-
ricane at Atlantic Beach, West

Damage in Newport, r. l..
alone was estimated in the mil
lions. The famed Newport Casino
was wrecked. So were many
buildings on Bailey's Beach and
Easton's Beach.
The casino was only one Of
many New England landmarks
destroyed.
Famed Steeple Crashes.
In Boston, the steeple Of the
Old North Church-from which
lanterns were hung to send Paul
Revere on his famous midnight
ride-craShed to the ground.
Scores of stately elmS on BoS-
ton Common were among the
thousands of trees felled by the
storm. In many, cases. falling
trees carried with them power
and telephone lines and blocked
streets for hours.
