of Homer, left last Saturday for Lake
Okobojl, where they will spend a week
or more.... Mr. and Mrs. Peter Kautz
and daughter Genevieve, of Homer,
motored over to Emerson Sunday af
ternoon. Mrs. Kautz and Genevieve
spent a few hours with Mrs. Jell'
Taylor and took the 5:45 passenger fo(
Hoskins for a week's visit with hot
parents. .. .Wouldn't it bo fine if Em
erson could be made the county seat
of Dixon, Dakota and Thurston coun
ties. Of course this is a pipe dream,
but from an economical standpoint,
the feasibility is obvious. The next
best thing, therefore, is to move the
court house from Ponca to Allen, and
from Dakota City to Hubbard.

Neligh Loadei: Congressman J,
ans was calling on his Antelope coun
ty friends Tuesday. Congressman
Evans has done a good work at Wi'sh
ingtor. during his first term, which
is always a hard time for a congress
man until he gets onto the ropes. He
has made no effort to do spectacular
things, but he has worked along con
structive lines, especially in matters
looking to elliciency in governmen
tal affairs. Several amendment ,
which ho has proposed and which
h.ivo been incorporited into legisl-i
lion h ive had a big influence to that
end. Notable among these nave
been amendments to cut down the
great number of depurtmunt.il em
ployes. A report made to congiess
showned that a largo number i the
old employes were from 80 to 85 per
cent inefficient. A bill was intro
duced to retire all such niplvycs,
those who had been long in the ser
vice to receive a pension. li.s
amendment, which was adopted pro
vided that in case of employes who
were classed as 90 per cent or i ion
inefficient was dropped fiom the
rolls no one should bo employed in
their place, as they had admittedly
been doing practically nothing. He
has also been particularly active In
doing things for his constituents,
and is always ready to answer any
reasonable call9ln this dlrectlno.

STRATION. Tho Dakota County Farm bureau
makes tho followlm; rojiorl of the
tractor domou-.tr:-'l.n bold no.tr Ui
kota City on August 13, 1920:
Tho ground plowed was very
heavy gumbo which had been plowed
but onco slnco it u,n broken from
tho sod. To mako It still worse a
,heayy-jrain J"l fnljon. on, tho after
noon and night of August 11. Thia
made the soil very tcugh and plastic.
To determine tin ilifforcnco in
cost of plowing between tractor and
horso drawn plows, n flve-lt iir-e
team, hitched to a Wj-iiu-li su'ly,
plowed on ono plo Puis team
plowed 1 Mi square nvU In 5 hom's
mid 5 minutes. All of th-i tr.teioru
plowed 4 VI- acr03 oarli, erpt the
Sainson, which plowed four and
tltroe-tentliH acres.
Tho grado of plowing is based nil
100 as perfect. This score wan de
termined by throe farmers and tho
county agent surveying l ha work
done by each outfit, and giving the
plowing n grado. Tho uvorago of
theso four grados Is tho reyirt given.
In figuring tho cost por aero of tho
plowing, tho operator waa charged
at 40 cents por hour, kerosono at 21
cents per gallon, gasollno at SO
cents por gallon) and oil at dl 35 per
gallon.
It Is very noticeable- that aside
from tinio lost to refill fuel, oil and
water, almost nono was lost for tho
tractors. Several outfits had rusty
Plows, which caused tbom many de
lays. Tho (uallty of work dono '.vas
very high, considering tho condl.ion
