Equipped with extra wing tanks its range can be trebled. Fly- ing light, it can touch 120 miles an hour or better aj maximum capacity. Built fundamentally for freight pur- poses, it answers every demand of the duty to which it is being consign- ed, A top hatch 3 x 6 feet provides entrance for heavy freight loaded by crane similar to loading a ship. Side hatches along the metal walls pro- vide entrance for freight loaded from trucks or a loading platform, and, in cidentally, provide for the bulkhead- Ing of packages and removal of any package without disturbing freight in any other section of the car. The new carrier answers the prob- lem of transporting heavy and big equipment into the new mining areas and transporting their production to the rail head. Economical to operate, it has a landing speed of 47 miles an hour, enabling it to operate from small airdromes, The interior can be readily fitted ¢ the passenger service.

Although at this first conference the number of fertilizer formulas has been reduced from 76 to 28, the objective is to still further reduce this number in sucoeeding years. Because this action was not taken till a rather late date, when many of the manufacturers had already made up considerable 'stock for next spring and had registered same with the government, it was im- possible to go as far in reducing the number of formulas as was apparently desirable to every member of the con. ference, but this situation can be re- medied next summer, ; There are at least two important classes of formulas.
