runi-ranaing problems are
rapidly decreasing, says Count
Posse, bead ot ' the coast gnard
service. In previous years there
usually were a dozen vessels in
ram row on the west coast, wh41e
now there are never more than
two or three that need watching.
The decrease has been proportion
al on the east coast.
Count Posse points out that in
1923 tha authorities jconlBOaied
150,000 liters of Regally ttoport

amount fell otx to 30.0 P0 liters.

said, are that these figures will be

the contestants, since by far the
great majority of them were own
ers of that type of tractor.
Fordson success was not a sur
prise to the practical farmers 'who
witnesed thi plowing contest. Fac
tor which gave the Fordson first
honors in every class were, its
flexibility, its short turning radius
and ease of steering, one wheel
running in a furrow. This makes
for better uniformity and straight
ness of furrows, both of which
were points considered in comput
ing the scores.
The farmers at the Wheatland
contest were overjoyed because
one of their vocation in winning,
scored slightly better than the vic
tor in the manufacturers' event,
with his brand new equipment.
Considerable amusement was af
forded by the difficulty in find
