WOOL MACHINERY ACTIVE An increase in the amount of wool machinery in operation June 1, 1919, as compared with May 1 is shown by the active and idle wool ‘machinery re- port just issued by the bureau of mar- kets, department of agriculture. The largest increase in active machinery was in the case of worsted combs, which show a gain of about 10 per cent, while worsted spindles gained about 5 per cent and wide looms 7 per cent, compared with May. More machines were reported working on double shift than in any other month of this year. Machinery in operation June 1 of this year, by groups in percentages, was: Wide looms, 70.4; narrow looms, 73.4; carpet and rug looms, 55.5; woolen cards, 84.6; worsted combs, 87.2; woolen spindles, 84.8; and worst- ed spindles, 78.9. Machines on gov- ernment orders were less than 1 per cent in every group, except woolen spindles,; where the percentage was 1.1. A Trctor's LI FE"notRICE - determines its VALUE Sinclair Seeks Drouth Relieffl Léague‘Congressnfian’s Bill Asks United States Funds for Western States—Dakota Bank to Provide Loans ICTIMS of the drouth in are getting relief through Nonpartisan league legislation, while farmers in the Montana and South Dakota dry beits see hope for early relief in the bill before con- gress introduced by Representative J. H. Sinclair of North Dakota, League congressman. X The Sinclair bill asks a federal ap- propriation of $5,000,000 to enable farmers of the drouth area to get loans for the purchase of feed and seed so that the livestock may be kept on the farms and the crops planted this fall and next spring. . The Bank of North Dakota already is arranging credit for the drouth vic- ~ 'What doyou want in your tractor? Power? Every Rumely OilPull will "deliver more motor, carburetor, cooling syst part is de- North Dakota already- power for its size and rating than any other tractor made. Itsrating is based upon only 80% of its maximum power efiic:ency——a 20% overload capacity. The QilPull power plant is a low-speed, heavy duty motor, built complete in Advance-Rumely factories and designed especially for this tractor, and to operate on oil fuel. The weight of the OilPull and the weight distribution is absolutely correct to realize the full power developed by the motor. Ask any QOilPull owner his opinion of OilPull power. 92 Actual work in the field over a Depe ndab'hty' period of years is the only real " test. Ten years ago the first OilPull tractors were sold for breaking sod in the Northwest—the toughest job a tractor can tackle. And these same OQilPulls have been at it ever since, gwmg year after year service. The first OilPull built is still on the job—over 15,000 are now in service. The OilPull frame is of straight steel members— without bends or splices—to best resist twists and strains. QilPull gearing has always been made a bit larger and heavier than you might think necessary. OilPull shafting is the same—all of special steel—the OilPull crankshaft is built to U. S. Naval specifica- tions. Motor parts are ground to the thousandth part of an inch. There is-no better tractor wheel made than the OilPull—we’ve been building engine wheels for over 80 years. Oil cooling eliminates evaporation, freezing, rusting, clogging, overheating—and saves power. Plus power and plus construction give the OilPull lasting qualities unequalled by any tractor. This isn’t guesswork—it has been proved. Ask any Oleull owner his opinion of OilPull dependability. 2 Fuel is the bxggest item of expense in Economy a tractor’s operation and oil fuel— - common kerosene—is the cheapest fuel available. Real oil tractors are made, not “made over.” The OilPullis designed for kerosene from the ground up—the OilPull em—every signed and built especially for the bnrmng of cil fuel. The OilPull will operate successfully on kerosene under every condition of work, of temperature, of altitude. And to back it up, every 'OilPull tractor is guaranteed inwriting to burn successfully all grades of kerosene under all conditions, at all loads to its full rated brake horsepower. The OilPull has established the record for the lowest fuel cost. It will plow an acre of ground-at less cost than any tractor built—bar none. Ask any OilPull owner hisopinion of OilPull economy. > * 22D Sxmphmty and ease of operation are Simplicity ? 100 1Y e OitPull, There is no complicated mechanism—all operating levers are within easy reach and all working parts, while care- fully protected, are easily accessible for inspection. The OilPull design -allows for high front wheels, properly spaced, to give ease in steering and oper- ating on rough ground—and a short turning radius. A large belt pulley on the right hand side driven directly off the crankshaft makes the OQilPull as efficient on the belt as on the drawbar. owner his opinion of OilPull simplicity. Service? Service as Advance-Rumely practices maintain 27 branch offices and warehouses located at central shipping points in the U. S. and Canada. At each branch ‘is carried a complete stock of machines and parts for immediate delivery, as also an organization of trained tractor experts. Ask any OilPull owner his opinion of Advance-Rumely service. The OilPull is built in four sxzes, Prom Size? standard in design and a size to fit every need—12-20, 16-30, 20-40 and 30-60 H.

It is as follows: “Be it enacted by the senate and house of representatives of the Unit- ed States of America, in congress as- sembled, that the secretary of agri- culture is- hereby authorized, for the crop of 1920, to make advances of loans to farmers and stockmen in-the drduth-stricken areas of the United States, where he shall find special need for such assistance exists, for the purchase of wheat, oats and barley for seed purposes, and of feed for live- stock, or, when_ necessary, to procure such feed and seed and sell same to suchfarmers. Such advances,: loans or sales shall be made upon such terms and conditions and subject to such regulations as the secretary of agriculture shall prescribe, including an agreement by each farmer to use the seed and feed thus obtained by him for the productien of grain. A first lien on the crop to be produced . from seed obtained through a loan, advance or sale made under this sec- tion shall, in the discretion of the sec- retary of agriculture, be deemed suf- ficient security therefor. The total amount of such advances, loans or sales to any one farmer or stockman shall not exceed the sum of $500. All such advances or loans shall be made through such agencies as the secre- tary of agriculture shall designate. For carrying out the purposes of this section there is hereby appropriated, out of any moneys in the treasury not otherwise appropriated, the sum of $5,000,000, available immediately.” BANK TO PROVIDE 'LOANS FOR STRICKEN “North Dakota’s resources were never in such good shape to meet the emergency of crop failure in the southwest as today,” wsays F. W. Cathro, director general of the Bank of North Dakota. “Through the new state bank, in spite of the many de- lays due to political attacks, we will be able to mobilize credit in the dis- tricts where it is worst needed. With $20,000,000 on deposit and $2,000,000 capital stock, the bank is’the largest institution in the state and can estab- lish valuable connections in the East more easily than can any other bank.” - The plan of the Bank of North Da- - kota contemplates both depositing funds-in the banks of the stricken district to be lent to farmers, and re- discounting of notes given to local banks. All the public funds now in the west will be left on deposit there and in addition other funds will be moved there. With bountiful crops in the eastern part of the state, mod- erate: amounts can be transferred from banks here and there and put to work in the district where it is most needed. Mr. Hagan and the state board of railroad commissioners are backing a move for a lower freight rate on rough feed and hay. They are bad- ly needed to save the livestock. Many cattle are being shipped out, but it is desired to keep the cows and grow- ing stock in the country. Counties affected by crop failure do not need to rely on state aid alone. Under the new feed and seed law en- acted by the League they can issue a cdnsiderable amount of bonds or war- rants. Director General Cathro ad- vises them to go ahead and meet the ° emergency as far as they can under
