Ho solectcd tho county fair as an oppor tunity of meeting perhaps tho largest number of farmers at any one time. Securing from the fair board a 7-foot squaro space in a prominent part of the fair grounds, ho laid off on' it a mmaturo farm, with fields in pro portion to tho 7-foot space. Corn, oats and wheat were sown in tho fields In time to be growing nicely when the fair opened; Imitation trees were placod to show the location of the orchard and small models of farm buildings added. Over 15,000 persons (visited the tiny farm during tho fair, studying tho plan, and asking ques tions about the rotation system. A largo per cent of tho binder troubles come from depreciation of tho machine whilo it Is standing In the field. Tho knotter mechanism of tho binder Is a complicated and deli cate piece of machinery and should not bo exposed to the weather. A hoavy coating of rust on these parts causes most of tho knotter trouble of tho following years. If tho machine must bo left in tho field for a time it is a good policy to cover tho knotter part wiUi a heavy coating of axlo groaso and tie an old piece of canvas over tho binder head. Binder can vases will not stand any particular amount of exposure and should bo re moved as soon as the machine is stopped. Crickets and mico qulcjdy destroy tho canvas and in some cases even cat the jhu One will b. rop'iM for his time i all the cainases on tho binder are well wrapped In heavy buildln paper and suspended on wires from the rafters in tho granary or hay loft where they cannot bo molest ed by insects or mice. The courthouse lawn In Elbert County, Colo., like many other lawns, was badly infested with dandelions. The county agent suggested killing them by pasturing, rather than plow ing under tho sod. According to re ports rpceived by the United States Department of Agriculture, tho test was approved by tho commissioners. Sufficient hog wlro to fence tho lawn was purchased and two pastures 100 (eot long and 80 feet wide were made. A farmer near town furnished six old owes, which wero placed in one pasture May 14, when tho dandolions were at their best. A week later four . moro were added to tho flock. Tho owes were changed from one pasturo to the other at one-week in tervals. They soon had tho dandelions and grass eaten down and kept It clown. Thoy ato blossoms and buda readily, and the hearts out of tho dandelion plants close to tho ground. Bettejv results would have been ob tained had tho sheep been put in earlier, but tho experiment proved qulto effective in ridding tho lawn of dandelions. :o: LOCAL AND PERSONAL Miss Edna Jensen loft Thursday for her homo in Council Bluffs.

Ford sales have been showing a constant increase eaijh month this year: June being the highest in the history of the company with a total of 148, 439 Cars. Trucks and Tractors. Of this number G.054 wero sold by tho. Ford Company of Canada and 9.435 by tho various European Ford com panies and South Amorican Branches, reaching purchasers in practically ev ery civilized country in tho world. With tho closing of business for,ot North platte Nouraska( wlll on June, Ford records diBclosed that to-lUlo icth day of Augusti m, between tal sales for tho first six months of !,,.- f o o 'itr 1922 wero well over tho half-million f Bald day and so much longor a8 mark, tho exact figures being 052,261. y bo necessary to transact said busl Thls is also a new high record as it n0SS( slt ft board of Eluallzation is considerably in advance of any for Ule purp080 of e(,uallz!ng nnd as previous half-year period. Isesslng against abutting and adjacent July Ford Sales aro expected toproporty ownorB( tho COflt of pavlng equal and probably eclipse June. The m paving Di8tricts No. 3 and G as osumaieu ouipui or uars. itucks anu Tractors has boon places at 151.767,1 although dealers have requisitioned moro than 200,000. Ford officials stato that every at tempt has been made to supply their dealers with sufficient cars to fill their orders, but that In tho past throe months, prompt dollverles have been impossiblo with somo of the typos. Tho demand for Ford enclosed carB has boon espodaly hard to meet due to tho ovor Increasing popularity of tho Coupo and Sedan for all year- nround use. A reflection of general business con ditions is seen in tho record of Ford truck sales, which show an Increase if eighty-four per cent ovor last year. Merchants iand fanners aliko havo como to recognize tho utility of tho motor truck In cutting transportation costs arid speeding up deliveries, and tho fact that thoy aro buying nearly twlco as many now as a year ago clearly points to better business con ditions..
