The Franklin township trustees
on Wednesday evening purchased
a Dodge ton and a half chassis of
Smith Garage in Mount Vernon,
which will be delivered to the
factory that makes the fire truck
body at I,uVerne, Minn., to be
equipped for the Franklin township
fire truck. The truck has a long
~beel base and dual rear wheels.
The Trustees met with the Mount
Vernon Council on ~Vednesday eve-
ning to discuss housing of the truck
in the Mount Vernon City Hall. The
fire committee of Art Kudart, Lloyd
Snyder and John Bryant was ap-
pointed to go into details with the
Trustees. It is probable that the
rear partition of the room which
now houses the Mount Vernon
truck will be moved /)ark 14 feet
taking that much room from the
City Hall auditorium.
The new truck with equipment
will be 29 feet long. The Mount
Vernon truck with ladders is about
23 feet long, while the present
room is 40 feet deep.

Observed At Peterson Farm
The plot of 25 varieties of hybrid
corn planted at the Warner Peter-
son farm last spring was used for
observation purposes by county
agent Rex Con on Tuesday. Ten
hills were husked out from each
variety and the ears used for ob-
servation.
The corn had been planted in two
rows of each variety, 50 hills long,
which did not give an accurate
basis of comparison between them.
In general on the other demon-
stration plots, it was found that the
yields were so close together that
they represented no significant dig
ferenee in the producing ability of
the leading hybrids.
