TRYING TO

Carburetor Mixture Is Being
Carefully Studied by Manu-
facturerS.

One of the leading carburetor manu-
facturers says that during the last
year a remarkable amount Of time and
study has been given to the perfecting
OF the carburetor mixture.
With such improvements as have
from time to time been added. the bet
ter grade carburetors OF today have
now recognized by the manufacturers
that efficiency OF mixture within the
carburetor Itself Is necessarily restrict
ed. for unsurmountable scientific rea-
sons.
There seems to be we'll defined limit
to the combustive efficiency OF the gas
as It cmanates from the carburetor
owing to the fact that the carburetor
itself is necessarily restricted 20 the ini-
tial contact and initial mixing OF tho
gasoline and air. An uneven mixture.

often prevails in even the better grade
OF carbure tors, regardless or how care
fully they be adjusted.
Then again, there seems, seems to be an n,
reason Of the necessity OF maintaining
constant quality in the Initial mix

OF air injection is necessarily confined
TO very narrow range. Limited
though it be, we can not do without
the carburetor. so experts are now
looking outside of and beyond II for

line
Additional mixers above the carbure-
tors are being used. and the use
and deslrability OF auxiliary air is
settled and most strongly advocated
Msnually controlled auxiliary air inlets
arc now in use, but owing TO the ir-
regularity Of control, do not give very
positive results.
From all that can be learned. the
most effective method of rcmixing the
gas particles and injecting additional
air is by the insertion Of a speedo In
the intake manifold speedo thus in
serted will break up under spray each
particle OF gas after leaving the car
buretor.
This will make more air necessary,
and the speedo will inject the add
tional air properly and automatically,
according TO speed, The result will be

TRENTON MAKES FINE SHOWING

Reports from the various fruit and
farming districts of the state show that
Trenton, in west Cache valley, has made
a really remarkable showing despite
the unfavorable conditions that have
prevailed during the growing season.
Potatoes, sugar beets. fruit aud grain
have shown exceptional yields and the
farmers are jubilant over the results.
The Trenton district is in one of the
most fertile sections of the state. The
soil is one of the best possible mixtures
of sand and clay. There is sufficient
proportion of sandy loam to prevent il
from baking IN the sun, which makes it
especially adapted for dry farming. The
yields from the dry farms of that section
this year have exceeded the yields of
irrigated farms in many parts Of the
state. There is splendid irrigation
system in operation that supplies
large section with water, but the prin-
cipal industry is dry farming
