AUGER ASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR OPERATION THEREOF . ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An auger assembly particularly useful for transporting materials such as fertilizer which can com- pact and plug the auger, includes a slide arrangement mounting the motor, shaft and flight for sliding move- ment relative to the tube so that the end of the flight at the feed end of the tube can be withdrawn into the tube and latched. The movement is obtained from rever- sing the direction of the drive motor to screw the flight upwardly in the tube which is then latched at the upper position. The flight and tube can then be emptied of material so that jogging movement caused in transporta- tion does not cause compaction of material against the flight. A shroud over the upper end of the tube is car- ried by the motor and is slidable therewith.
