Working for Wide Tires.

The Bureau of Road Inquiry of tn,
United States Government has beer
making a study of the width of tire.
prescribed by local and national au
thorities in various parts of the world
In France every freighting and mar
ket cart, instead of injuring the high
way, improves it. Many Of the tire.
are ten inches wide. In the four
wheeled vehicles in that country tn,
rear axle is fourteen inches longer
than the fore, and as q result tn,
rear wheels run in a line about al
inch outside the level rolled by tn,
front wheel. After a few LOADED
wagons have passed over a road tn,
highway looks as if steam roller ha(
been at work. A national law in Ger
many prescribes that wagons heavily
loaded must have tires not less thar
four inches wide. In Austria the min
imum for similar vehicles is six and
one-half inches; in Switzerland, sir
inches. -. t4.,e.
In number Of States in this coun
try laws have been passed granting
rebate of highway taxes to citizens
who use on lumber wagons tires moi
less than three inches wide. On toE
roads in Kentucky and several other
States farmers hauling loads in wide
tired wagons are entitled to lower
rates than those paid by the owners OF
narrew-tired vehicles
At an experiment station it was dem
onstrated that it requires forty PEI
cent. more power to draw a load or
a wagon drawn with one-and-one-half
inch tires than on one with three
inch tire. With a Baldwin dyna.
mOmeter careful tests were made with
loaded wagons drawn over blue grass
sward. In a wagon weighing 1905
pounds it was found that a load OF
1923 pounds could be drawn on wide
tires with the same force required to
move 1000 pounds on narrow tires
Moreover, the wide tires did not injure
the turf, while the narrow ones cut
through it. In some parts of the coun-
try pioneers in the use of wide tires
have had to stand good deal of ridi-
Guile. The manifest benefit to roads,
however, soon changes public senti-
ment. The president of leading
wagon manufacturing company states
that the demand for wide tires is in
creasing every year. Another company
in the same line of business conducted
series of tests, using Fairbanks
dynamometer carefully calibrated, and
was convinced that on very hard roads
the preference, so far as draft, is con-
eerned, is for narrow tires. In the eff
feet upon the roads, rowever, wide
tires have the advantage.

"JACOB BERNHEIMER. ;

Dan j. Sully, one Of the greatest
friends the farmers Of the South ever
had, is out in a letter in which he
urges the reduction Of cotton acreage.
eff you wish to win your battle,
and obtain fair price for your cot
Fton you must reduce your acreage very
considerably.
You have surprised the world by the
manner in which you have held your
cotton. Surprise it again by cutting
down your acreage.
Do not be led astray by the present
steadiness Of prices.
Three causes have contributed to
bring about this rise Of more than one
cent pound.
First: The urgent demand arising
from an unprecedented consumption.
Second: Your courage and wisdom
in making the buyer meet your terms.
Third: The belief that you would
cut your acreage to such an extent
that the supplies from this crop and
the growth of 1905-06 would make a
commercial crop no larger than the
world needs.
The first two causes lose their force
the moment it is known that there is
a prospect for a moderately large crop
next year.
Even if the mills take 100000
bales during the current season, this
would leave carry-over of / 100000
bales. Hence the necessity Of small
er crop this year.
Do not let any rise in prices between
now and the end of the planting sea-
son deter you from reducing your
acreage.
Such an advance would be merely
anticipating that you were making the
decrease which your friends have adj
vised you to make.
If the June reports Of the govern
ment show that you have failed to
make sufficient reduction, the only per-
sons who could be gamers by the adj
vance would be the spectators who
sell out their futures at a profit.
The price Of the cotton you produce
will be regulated by the actual not the
expected, reduction.
Don't depend on your neighbor to
do the reducing.
In this matter Of acreage reduction
bear in mind three suggestions.
Don't rely on bad weather to cut
down the size Of the crop.
Don't put large acreage into cot
ton simply because it is too late to
plant corn or other diversified crops
It would be far better to let a part
of your land lie idle than to run the
risk Of raising crop so large as to
make possible another period of low
priced cotton. ~.
| am making this appeal to you be-
cause | regard the next few weeks as
critical to the South and because /
believe that every man who is inter-
ested in the welfare Of the South
should urge the Importance Of re-
duced acreage.

five cents, while on railways it is
three-fourths of a cent or less. BY
water the rate varies from one-fourth
to one-twelfth of a cent. The ocean
rate is one-ffth of the canal route,
one-fifteenth of the railway rate and
one-five-hundredth of the country road
rate.
Railway rates improve, but dirt road
rates never do, says the Baltimore
Sun. In 1869, for example, the cost
per ton mile on the New York Central
Railway was "a cents, while in 1893
the cost was only seven-tenths of a

farms made inaccessible by bad roads
are worth less than those which enjoy
good transportation facilities. Or, tt
put it differently, good roads enhance
the value of farms, adding materially
to the price for which they will sell.
