A leading farm machine man- ufacturer has recently produced a tractor grub breaker that weighs 2,- 000 pounds and cuts a furrow 12 inches deep by 24 inches wide. This sturdy colossus, drawn by a tractor, will plow under brush that stands tall- er than a man, cutting through heavy roots and snapping young saplings like matches! This implement neces- sarily has a massive beam—a - steel truss beam with a cross-section of 15 square inches. The plowshare is five-eighths of an inch thick and the mold three-eighths. The plow bottom from the point of the cutter to the end of the mold extension measures over six feet. Special provision is made for marshy, mucky soil that does not scour readily in the shape of a rod mold attachment which is sub- stituted for the rear portion of the In ten years the production of crude oil in the United States has increased only 96 per cent, while during the same period the output of gasoline has ine creased 560 per cent. The demand for no other commodity in general use has increased to a degree that even approximates the mark reached by gasoline. In ten years the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has increased its output or gasoline from 150 million gallons to more than 600 million zallons a year. It is apparent that this could not have R regular mold. B . . . U. S.

As a result, thousands of acres of what was formerly considered waste land are now being converted into the most productive farms in the country. : LAW ENFORCEMENT : Editor Nonpartisan Leader: What have become of the laws against using italist press and the old-party politi- cians are both guilty of violating these laws, but they are not enforced. Perhaps Mr. Palmer is too busy catch- ing “reds” to deport to attend to small matters like this. JOHN A. LINDEMANN. Kamiah, Idaho. 10-CENT WHEAT IN CHINA The relation of transportation costs to the return received by the producer is well illustrated by the fact that in many parts of western China farmers get only 10 cents a bushel for their application of improved, scientific meth- ods of refining. - As a matter of fact, the price of gasoline is held in bounds only by the sheer force.. of science. Except for the ability of such institu- tions as the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to make a wide range of useful products from that part of the crude oil which is not used to make gasoline, you would be paying a much higher e mone %, | the mails to defraud and obtaining 1 1 S EEpD [(fe Sale i, deffd i ohisiting price for gasoline than you pay today. double from The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is bending every effort toincrease its output of gasoline to meet the demands and to sell it to you at as low a price as possible. - Standard Oil Company ; (Indiana) 910 S.
