The present day type of screw conveyors, with well fitting troughs of sufficient rigidity to require a minimum of intermediate bearings, with the latter design not to obstruct the flow of the material, are undoubtedly one of the most versatile of material handling appliances. Screw conveyors are compact and easily adapted to congested locations; a unique fact being, they are the only type of conveyor that does not require a return. They can be used in horizontal, inclined or vertical installations. Screw conveyors have been adapted for use as earth augers to dig post holes, or to bore under high ways for installation of culverts, also through small hills for laying pipe lines. In one operation of this kind, a tunnel one hundred feet through was dug with a 6-inch diameter screw conveyor with the pipe being placed. In the east at the present time a battery o f screw conveyors mounted on trucks are employed in the mining of coal from banks or shelfs. In another installation, a screw conveyor feeding Courtesy of sawdust and shavings to an incinerator, acts as a fireblock or effective seal preventing any flash back from the furnace.

BAKERSFIELD, CALIFORNIA Galvanizing and plating of screw conveyors has been employed where corrosion is present in the product handled.

WM. E. HOOPER & SONS CO. MILLS AT WOODBERRY BALTIMORE, MD. NEW YORK * PHILADELPHIA * PREFILTRATION OF VEGETABLE OILS It was common practice in the old days to settle crude oil as it came from expeller or press. This was a slow process and permitted fermentation, producing a high percent of free fatty acids in the oil. Nor was the oil clear. It retained slimy matter in suspension. If oil was sold all these items were deductible from invoice. For, they created a high refining loss. In 1924, at the old Globe Mills we introduced the step now commonly known as prefiltration. The crude oil is filtered as made through HOOPERWOOD FILTER CLOTH— TWILL GRADE—and our HOLEFREE CREPE FILTER PAPER. THE SO FILTERED OIL IS CLEAR, LOW IN FREE FATTY ACIDS AND HAS A LOWER REFINING LOSS. HOLEFREE CREPE FILTER PAPER is made from Norwegian pulp, has a very high wet strength, the 60-lb. grade is thin and thus the oil retention low. The toughness of this paper permits it to be used many times. It forms a barrier against sliming of the cloth. A more open or porous cloth may be used—economy—and dressing is less. The paper and cloth adds no ectra pressure on the flow. This process has been adopted over the 30-year period by leading firms. Our WESTERN WAREHOUSE obtains the items by water—economy in many carlots. Distributors are being arranged for in your district. Mccl Me at the Next Convention CHARLES V.

Vegetables from California’s San Joaquin Valley and wheat from the Texas-0 kla- homa Panhandle grow heavier and healthier — with greater amounts o f trace elements — when planted on deep-plowed land. In Arizona and California cot ton farmers produce fibers that are 50 per cent longer and 30 per cent stronger by this new method of land preparation. In some cases nematodes have been brought under control. And where deep plowing is used, there is much faster penetration of irrigation water. While the grower is primarily interested in larger, more profitable crops, the country at large has a big stake in this mechanical method of turning up un Big tractors and big, hydraulically controlled Atlas plows add used plant food and trace elements.

An interesting theory as to why deep plowing is effective has been evolved by discerning farmers — Deep plowing aids organic farming by intimately especially in arid regions which require irrigation. blending composts and fertilizers with the soil. In the West it is vital to good farming in sandy or silty soils They believe that irrigation water carries plant foods underlain by hard caked clays. The point of the deep and trace elements down below the root zone of most plow reaches through this crust and brings up the crops. There, in combination with soil particles, they elements that are rich in plant food and trace form an airtight and water tight crust like hardpan. minerals. It quickly restores health to the soil by This seals off the top layers of soil and creates an mechanical means. oven in which the sun cooks soil bacteria. The soil becomes lifeless and requires expensive fertilizers. Deep plows are big and require heavy tractors, yet the cost of plowing at $5 to $22 per acre is often Deep plowing breaks up this hardpan, lifting plant completely absorbed by the reduction in weed control food within reach of the roots and mixing the life costs alone. Regardless of this, deep plowing has less top soil downward. It is necessary, of course, to been proved to aid the health of plants and animals. do more than merely turn the soil.

During the year of 1944 additional storage was needed by the growing plant and they erected their first Muskogee Steel Storage. The mill operated at this rate until about 1945 when additional improve ments were made by installing two French Screw Presses, and by 1949 a complete change-over to Screw Presses was made with a daily tonnage of some 220 tons. Always on the alert for money and time saving devices, Plains continued to grow, adding improve ments here and there, keeping abreast of the chang ing methods of the oil milling industry.
