Farmers and Automobiles.

1t hasn't been long since the auto
mobile was considered luxury to be
enjoyed only by the rich. Even as
recently as three years ago automobile
manufacturers we're making practical
ly all their sales to city people, and
had not begun bidding for the farmers
trade. Now this as all changed about.
La country communities where auto
mobiles we're curiosity ten years ago
you can't drive far today without
meeting "buzz wagon, and ten
chances to one it will have farmer
at the wheel. True, every farmer
hasn't an automobile, as some of the
magazine writer's seem to think, but
nevertheless a remarkable number of
farmers do own cars, and more are
buying all the time.
We have been inclined to look
upon the automobile as a pleas
ing luxury for those who can afford
it. Or course, we have realized all
along that farmers of all men who
buy automobiles have the greatest
opportunity to turn them to useful
account.
Note how nearly every one that has
written refers to the many uses to
which an automobile may be put. 1t
is especially valuable as time saver
to the farmer that lives far from town.
In fact the majority of farmers who
own cars seem to believe that the
automobile is a business proposition
for the farmer, as we'll as a luxury
that increases the enjoyment of farm

must be distributed evenly since it
does not spread through the soil to
any very great extent and if distribut-
ed unevenly will produce uneven
stands of grass. Ii certain parts Of
the field receive too much plaster the
growth may be so rank that the clover
falls before it can be harvested while
il there is not enough plaster the
growth is not improved as it might
be.
For the purpose of distributing
land plaster evenly several forms of
homemade implements have been
devised which give very satisfactory
results and are easily and cheaply
constructed. A full description of
the details of construction of these
implements may be found in Bulletin
No. 88 of this Station.
The use of machine for the dis
tribution of land plaster permits
smaller applications per acre than it
would be possible to distribute by
hand. Itavoids the unpleasant task of
sowing the plaster by hand. Further
more, if the fertilizer is even dis.
tributed, the crop grows evenly over
the field and holds the weeds in check
much better.
A simple, economical home made
implement for distributing fertilizer
lime being available, many of the OBJ
jections to the use of land plaster are
now overcome and it may be used
without serious Inconvenience and
with very profitable results on leg
luminous crops in many parts of West
ern Washington.

life and brings many privileges that
could not be secured without rapid
transportation. Certainly the farmer
has more use for an automobile than
the average city owner of Car.
Many city man owns Car that is
used mostly in getting to and from
his office, when the street car would
be cheaper, and for an occasional
pleasure spin. The farmer may use
his car for pleasure, also, but if he
lives far from town he will probably
use it oftener for business than for
pleasure.
skill attained in operating complicat-
ed machinery, seem to have fewer
difficulties with their cars than city
men, and for that reason have fewer
repair bills. Their natural tendency
is to take better care of an automobile
than the town man, who has but little
idea of the limitations of a piece of
machinery of any kind. The auto
mobile, therefore, seems to be con-
siderably cheaper proposition for
farmers than fer city people. In the
light of the facts that farmers have
far m ore actual business use for auto
mobiles than city people, and that
they operate them at lower cost, it
seems little out of place for bankers
and other city men to criticise
farmers for a waste of money in buy
ing automobiles. They ought to place
their criticism nearer home. The

LAND PLASTER AS FERTILIZERS
FOR WESTERN WASHINGTON

FOX WESTERN WASHlNGION
Field Investigations by Byron Hun
ter, Assistant Agriculturist, Office of
Farm Management Investigations OF
the United States Department of
Agriculture show that land plaster
produces very beneficial results on
soils seeded to vetch or clover in the
western part of Washington and Ore
gon. 1t gives to clover green,
healthy, vigorous growth while un-
treated clover on the same soil is
often yellowish in color and of very
unsatisfactory growth. Where no
plaster is used weeds often crowd out
the clover but where the land plaster
is properly applied the clover grows
rapidly and keeps the weeds in check.
The land plaster should be applied
as soon in the spring as the ground
become dry enough to drive over. 1t

FORMS OF LIME WHICH MAY BE
USED AS A FERTILIZER.

USED AS A FERTILIZER.
There are several different forms of
lime which may be used for fertilizer
purposes. The term fertilizer lime'
usually means land plaster or ground
gypsum. This is the proper form of
lime to use as a fertilizer where it's
direct effect as plant food available
is desired. Lime in this form must
be applied sparingly or losses of ex-
cessive available fertility may occur.
One hundred pounds per acre is the
maximum amount which it is usually
safe to use. Fifty to seventytiv
pounds per acre is the amount com
monty needed. 1t must be applied
every year since it's beneficial effects
do not extend over from season to
sea son.
For the purposes of neutralizing
acid soils, improving the texture of
heavy clays, ETC., some alkaline form
of lime is necessary. This may be
either "quick' lime, slaked lime or
air -slaked lime. Quick lime is the
most concentrated form but is difficult
to distribute evenly. The best way
to use quick lime as a fertilizer is TO
pile it in small heaps of say bushel
in a place, cover with a few shovel
fuls of earth then throw pailful of
water on the heap and let it stand
over night. The next morning the
lime will be slaked to very fine
powder which may then be distribut-
ed over the land with shovel. These
piles should be placed close enough
together to give the desired treatment
per acre. The amount per acre to be
used depends entirely upon the degree
of acidity or other qualities which it
Is desired to neutralize. The exact
lime requirement of any soil can
only be determined by chemical analy
sis. One or two tons per acre are
quite commonly applied. After the
soil is once completely neutralized it
never again needs heavy applications
of lime, one hundred pounds per acre
applied about once every five years
usually being sufficient. r-slaked
lime, if available, may be used instead
of quick lime but requires nearly
twice as heavy applications to produce
the same results. enz1 1.
Finely ground limestone, sea shells,
marl etc., may be used as fertilizer
lime with beneficial results particular
ly on light sandy soils. They may be
used in unlimited amounts.

The sale of Goodyear tires has
multiplied six times over in the past
two years. Last year they jumped
to So, 500,0 900. They are now running
double last year.
Sixty-four leading motor car max
ers have contracted with US for these
tires. To supply them and tire
dealers we are running our factories
twenty-four hours per day.
The reason lies in a patented tire

No Hooks on This Tire
The ordinary tire-the clincher

into the rim fange. That is how
the tire is held on. See the next

When you use this type the
removable rim f1anges are set to
curve inward. Note how they dig
