OUR EXPERIMENT STATIONS
MIR. Banner Visits Farms and Finds
Conditions Encouraging

Mr.. II. M. Banner, agricultural ex-
pert for the Santa Fe who has over
sight of a number of demonstration
farms in West Texas came into Sny-
der on a tour of inspection OF the
several crops under his supervision
in Scurry County.
He had already visited six farms
in the Hermleigh country and on
Tuesday morning. in company with
Joe Strayhorn, o. p. Thrane and
Signal representative he went out to
see the cotton and maize being
grown by Rev. c. II. Kelly according
to the methods prescribed by the
agricultural department.
Bro. Kelly has FIVE acres of maize
and seven and one half acres OF the
Mebane cotton which he is growing
along scientific lines and It is fine.
Mr. Banner was greatly pleased
with the prospect up to now. Dock
Kelly is also cultivating ten acres
By the same methods and his crop
promises satisfactory results.
From here Mr. aBiner went out
to see his crops west of town and will
then go into Cara and Borden
counties.
The Santa Fe has inaugurated this
!, experimental work to show what
West Texas is doing in agricultural
and industrial matters.
The work is done on scientific and
practical lines and all farmers Of this
county are invited to watch the re-
suits and be able to profit by the les
sons learned. This course will result
in great benefit in the development
OF this country.
There are eighteen OF the expert
ment stations in Scurry county.

POINTERS FOR THE MoToRrsT

OF all questions relative to the
preservation of pneumatic tires that
OF initiation. is the most important.
OF the tires tested by the Michelin
Tire Company on cars which stop at
its factory. full fifty percent is
found to be underinrlated, while of
the tires sent in for repairs nearly
sixty per cent have suffered from
this cause.
There are many ways aside from
punctures and blow outs in which
the air pressure in a tire can sink
below normal The valve may not
be air tight. or II the tire is new Il
may expand slightly when first used
with consequent reduction in pres
sure.
Moreover. rubber while practical
ly air tight is not entirely so and the
air VIII gradually filter through into
that atmosphere. Air is composed
chiefly of oxygen and nitrogen. The
co-enlclcnt of diffusion of oxygen
through rubber Is higher than that
Of nitrogen. and I'm consequence the
pressure in a recently inflated tire
decreases in proportion to the diff
fusion of the oxygen. When the tire
is rcinflated the proportion of nitro
gen within the tire OF course be-
comes larged. So long as the original
air remains In the tire this proper
ton continues 10 Increase with ev-
cry initiation and thus the loss by
diffusion becomes gradually smaller.
The temperature OF the outer air
Is responsible only for the very
slight changes in the interior air
pressure of a tire. These changes
are so slight as 10 be negligible.
over initiation likewise is iniur-
lous. Not to the tire so much as the
car. An overlnflated tire has little or
no resiliency and thus transmits
shocks TO the chassis. which under in
cesasnt Earring is bound TO suffer.
II is obviously necessary therefore
TO keep the tires pumped up to Just
the right pressure The only way to
accomplish this is frequently to use
pressure tester.
