The ideal soil for this crop should be
one so light as to offer no great resist
ance to the enlargement of the tubers,
so supplied with organic matter as to
be rather moist without being wet, and
so rich as to furnish an unfailing sup
ply Of fertilizing ingredients. A rich,
sandy loan, abundantly supplied with
organic matter and naturally well
drained is preferable. Sitter soils may
be rendered suitable for the potato by
drainage and by the incorporation Of
farm manures; or, better, by blowing
under green crops. Very heavy clay
should be avoided il the farm contains
any lighter soil. Recently cleared
ground suits the potato. Sandy soils,
Il not too subject to drought, may be
fitted for this product by the addition
of organic matter. 1t is a well known
fact that potatoes grown on sandy
land are of better quality than those
grown on sitter soil. Though the po-
tato requires a rich soil, even more i'm
portant than natural fertility, is
proper mechanical condition of thessoil
Proper conditions of the soil mean
larger production. With such condf-
ton from ESQ to 500 bushels can be
produced per acre. The success of the
potato commercially is largely depend
emit on the crops preceding it in the
rotation. BY taking time to well pre-
pare the land with cowpeas, or other
leguminous plants just preceding po-
tatoes. its stubbie furnishes organic
matter and adds to the store of avail
able nitrogen In the soil. Corn after
sod frequently precedes potatoes, and
this is generally regarded as the best
rotation.
One year, or. at most, two years, is
as long as field should be devoted to
continuous potato culture.
Detailed directions are the prepare
ton of one class of soils would not
apply to others, hence 1t can only be
said that preparation should be deep
and thorough, and that unnecessary
compacting of the soil should be avoid
ed. Flowing ran scarcely be too deep,
provided that much of the subsoil is
not brought to the surface. Though

Automobile Designing Is
A Formidable Undertaking

To tho layman the designing of an
automobile may not appear like a very
formidable undertaking. He knows
there is a motor, a transmission. a run-
ning-gear with wheels and at first
blush only a competent mechanic seems
to be needed to put the various units
together.
However, in tho designing depart
ment Of any large automobile COM
pay the problem Of creating a new
car has much more important aspects,
because here 1t is understood that ere
something new IL placed upon the mar
ket no small amount Of hard work
must DO done before the car can as
sumo tangible shape and can be
placed on the polished fioor Of the re-
tailer's show window.
Formerly it used to be a sort of proud
boast Of the automobile advertising
man to state that his cars were de-
signed and built first and their selling
price found out afterward. However,
with the modern cost-accounting sys-
tenn used In automobile factories, every
operation Is a factor we'll known in ad-
and, much as the advertising
man may regret this phase. hero at
least Is an instance where modern fac

tory system has ovsrtaken the out-and-
dried methods of older days In h au-
tomobile industry.
Moderate-priced cars of real merit
are usually not designed by q moder-
ate-priced or moderate-talented : de-
signer. for to design a car of the quail
ity demanded by the public to be sold
at q moderate price requires designing
skill and research facilities Of no mean
order.
Very often it is found that he who
produced tho cheaper Of tho two motors
happened to be q designer well versed
In foundry practise; he avoided the use
Of too many loose pieces and cores In
pattern work. Here and there he ex-
hibits deftness in making 1t particu-
larry easy to got the sand Of the
hollow castings.
Core FASTING has been reduced to q
minimum; blow holes have been ar
ranged In the most convenient places
and have been made large enough to
permit the gas to escape freely and
without endangering tho castings by
their pressure. The result is that the
foundry cost Of the motor is reduced
and that 1t is possible to give the bene-
fit OF the saving to the buying public.

EASY To LEARN
10 DRIVE MOTOR
Studebaker Dealer Solves Prob
lem of Teaching the Novice
Without Waste of Time.

The simple contra system of a mod
ern motor car and the ease with which
it can be mastered by a driver with no
experience whatever are illustrated by
a plan of instruction In use at the
place of business of a big Studebaker
dealer in an Ohio city.
From the raw novice to the finished
expert in two hours" Is h claim made
for this system by its originator.
The dealer had been selling EMF
go" and Flanders "20'' cars SO rapidly
that he found himself unable to spare
he time needed to teach his beginners
by the usual method. Accordingly he
has worked out a short out. which he
finds better IN every way.
He takes each novice to q courtyard
back Of his garage and has the rear
end of the mans now car lacked UP
until the wheels arc an inch. or more
off the ground. He starts the motor
and spends about ten minutes explain
ing the theory of g~ear-shifting and the
simple method by which the car Is
controlled. Then he leaves the novice
to himself for about an hour with or
ders to use his Imagination and act ac-
cording1y. When the hour Is up he
puts the pupil through a short exam
ination on Imaginary emergencies and
turns him loose alone. Graduates of
this school are Invariably capable of
getting their cars home without trouble.
After a day or two of experience where
traffic is thick they are able to drive
anywhere with all the cool confidence
of veteran experts.
The inventor of the plan says 1t Is
perfectly logical.
Instinct" he maintains. tells ever
an inexperienced driver how to steer
his car. Gear-shifting is really all he
has to learn. When he has made that
detail n that he can care for with
out stopping to think. he can 60 any
where. I've always claimed as much;
now I've proved 1t. Give a manor a
woman, either-a simple car like an
EMF or Flanders and he can teach
himself to drive in a few minutes"
Many a man who has learned to drive
in this way. according to the dealer,
taught other members of his family
at homo, lacking the car up inside
he garage.
The Studebaker representative says
that his plan isn't copyrighted, but
believes 1t would work well In the
case of any other car with well-made
sliding gears and an adequate cooling
system, qualities for which the Stude-
baker bars are especially noted.

LAY AUTO TROUBLES
TO INFERIOR OILS
Improper fabrication Shortens
Life Of Cars, Especially
Motor Trucks.
By GEORGE N. MORAN.


With the wonderfully rapid accept
ance Of the economy Of commercial
trucks comes the necessity of provid-
ing safeguards against delays and re-
pairs to the vehicle.
1t is said that half the motor
troubles are caused by improper lubrf-
cation. The motor Of q commercial
truck does heavy duty all Its life. It
must necessarily have wearing quail
tiles, and those wearing qualities can
not exist without tho very best lubri-
cation. Operators Of motor trucks are
inclined to underestimate the attention
Of motor needs. There is not h same
"pride-of-appearance" feeling that
exists among operators Of pleasure
cars, and, therefore, the entire truck Is
apt to suffer from neglect.
This makes 1t all the more necessary
to insure. so far as possible, against
engine trouble. The surest and best
insurance Is the proper selection Of
lubricating oil. Owners who look care
fully after their stock Of horses buy
tho best feed possible. 30 should
owners of motor trucks buy the best
oil available. The right kind Of oil will
increase the power Of a motor and
make 1t last longer.
The proper oil for motor truck lubri-
cation should first OF all be Of the
right body. or viscosity. and this must
be such that 1t will not materially be
affected by temperature changes. From
the high heat in the cylinder to tho
lower temperature In the crank oase
It must maintain a uniformity of flow.
and at the same time its iubrieating
qualities, II must have a hre test that
viii permit It to burn up cieanly after
Il has performed its services.

be interested In knowing that the Hart
ford Suspension Company, Of Jersey
City. have brought out q combined

they have been trying out for the past
year and q half. Edward v. Hartford,
president Of the company, says:
"The electrical system consists OF .

is added is a small motor and a couple

ing generators are placed al present,
generally from the pump shaft of the
engine, about a two to one reduction.
"A combination magnetic cutout and

ton, and this Is put on the dash. This
