the future is that I may be framed
up by detectives
In calm and we'll mOdulated voice

MAKING
A CLOSE STUDY Of
SOIL FERTILITY
Annual Report of County Agent
Bordner Shows Progress of
Scientific Agriculture in st.
Joseph County.

An extensive study of soil fertility
in st. Joseph county. and much active
work among st. Joseph county farm
ers, is shown in the annual report of
John S. Bordner. county agricultural
agent. The demonstrations in con-
nection with the study Of soil fertility
are largely in cooperation with the
animal husbandry department. of Pur-
due university. The value of various
legumes, j. e., alfalfa, sweet clover.
soy beans, COW peas and vetch, and
comparative studies of grains,
wheat and corn and oats, grown on
dlnerent soils and soils differently
treated, and variety tests of the diff
ferent tests that are now under way
on the county farms, is being deter
mined.
The report also shows that the st.
joseph county farm bureau has
mailing list of 25O, and that two
meetings each month have been held
during the fall, winter and spring.
The function of the meetings have
been largely economic, and to this
end, the bureau has obtained a pur
chasing agent to buy all cOmmodi-
ties. Thus far, ground limestone, al
falfa, soy beans and COW pea seed
have been purchased.
HOld liz Meetings.
A total of III meetings have been
held between July. 1913. and July,
1914, with a total attendance of 49,
COS. More than 1,200 calls have
been made at the county agents Of
flee by farmers and 25S farmers
have been visited by the county agent
and advised about their farms. Mr..
Bordner has travelled SAG miles
through the county, according to the
report
Working plans for II farms have
been prepared in cooperation with
the owners and maps and tentative
cropping systems arranged. Crop ro-
tations are planned for the farms.
A general propaganda against hog
cholera and for more hogs which
was conducted last winter and dur
ing the spring, has shown gratifying
results according to the report, and
men from Purdue university and the
United States department of agricul-
ture have addressed the farmers

Blending of Parts Into Harmonious

Time.

1t is so very natural for the man
with a new car to want to show its
beauty and speed to his friends that I
feel justified in offering the following
suggestions, since / believe every car
owner wishes to obtain the most COM
plete satisfaction from his vehicle said
local motorist the other day when dis
cussing the subject of new automobiles.
The motor car of the present time
is essentially a machine Of very ad-
vanced type. 1t is made up of very
many closely fitted parts. which neces-
sarily move at various speeds in rela-
ton to each other. and some of them
are subject to a high temperature in
addition to the friction produced by their
contact with each other.
These conditions necessitate the use
of materials which will give a long life
to the machine. The cylinders and
pistons are made Of hard, close-grained
cast iron, and while machined as smooth
~ as possible with the best grinding
machines obtainable. their surfaces. II
examined with the aid of q powerful
magnifying glass, would present the ap-
pearance of a piece Of sand paper.
Probably the various machining oper-
atoms would not leave the grain OF the
metal lying in the direction in which these
parts move when in operation. The same

BUILT UP INDUSTRY
Render Just as Much Service
as Do Costly
Ones.
IMPORTS FROM EUROPE
GROWING LESS YEARLY
On Other Hand, Exports Are In
creasing Beyond Factories
Abilities.
BY JOHN N. WILLYS.

The nledium-pric car which is pro-
duced in quantities has had a very i'm
portant bearing on international automo-
bile commerce. A few years ago. when
the automobile industry was young, the
people of the United States depended al
most entirely on England, Germany, Italy
and France for highpriced cars. Annual
imports of automobiles reached a very
large total. Today the import of auto
biles is so low as to be entirely unimpor-
tant. At the same time export figures
have been constantly growing, and mil
lions of dollars worth of American-made
cars are being shipped abroad annually.
The main reason for the decrease in i'm
ports is that the American people are
choosing the medium priced car in pref
erence to the costly creations Of Euro
pean makers, for they know that in buy
ing one-thousand- dollar automobile
made in this country they are getting as
good a product as that costing two OF
three times as much abroad.
Americans who think that the one-thou-
sand-dollar automobile produced in guam
titles here is only for the man Of moder-
ate means are mistaken. Hundreds OF
cars are being sold every year to people
who can afford much higher-priced au-
tomobile. The point is that these wealthy
people realize they do not need a costly
Vehicle: the medium priced car will give
just as much service and present just as
good an appearance on the street.
A comparatively few years ago auto
mobiles were owned only by wealthy
people, who could afford to indulge their
fads and fancies The motor car was
regarded much as some people regard
blooded horses; not especially serv cea-
BILE, but a desirable possession. indicat-
ing that the owner had large share OF
the worlds goods.

,er Of the family is taken into consider

Der Of the family is taken into consider
alton. Father, mother and the children
seek the car which will give them the
most return in business and pleasure
service for their money. They demand
a car so well built and so economical in
operation that large share of the bust
ness Of the family can be transacted with
it and that It can be used also as a
pleasure vehicle when opportunity af-
fords. -.
A great majority of cars are purchased
by families. They take father to his
work in the morning and the children to
school and mother on shopping. theater
and calling trips during the day. Then
in the evening they are available for an
outing for the whole family run into
the country or about the city streets. At
the week end the whole load goes out for
an airing. At the end of the year the
automobile shows very important sav
ingg in carfare and a still more i'm
portant improvement in the enjoyment
and health of everybody.
Our export business is another indica-
ton of the modern trend in automobile
preference. We could sell IS per cent
Of our annual production abroad If we
cared to, for the medium-priced car seems
to have made as big a hit across the
water as 1t has at home. The export
business alone will reach total of sew
eral million dollars this year. AMI all our
foreign representatives are askin- for

treated in the same manner. II the owner
will consider the number of surfaces
which are in moving contact with eacis
other in the motor and its attendant
parts; in the transmission and the uni
yersal joints in the propeller SHAFT be-
tween the gear box and the rear axle. III
the gearing and bearings of the rear axle
and the wheel bearings: and added to this
the friction between the leaves of the
springs as his ear passes over obstruc-
tons into depressions. he win agree with
the wisdom Of giving the ear a sufficient
opportunity to md itself. as the en-
preston often goes.

suggestions. and will refrain from rae
ing and working his car to its maximum
capacity until the working parts are

holds true of the finish of the crank shaft
and Of the bearings. although the latter
are reamed with tools which have cut
ting edge nearly as keen as that of a
razor. In the operation of motor ehe
pistons are subjected to great and rapid
changes of temperature. which also tend
to alter the grain OF the metal.
Use Car Moderately.
IAN these are very strong reasons why
the owner of a new car should use 1t
carefully and at moderate speeds when
he first receives it, gradually increas-
ing both the work and the speed. and
at the same time providing adequate
fabrication for all the working parts.
To this end owners are advised to use
a new car moderately for the first 500
miles in order that the various working
parts of the mechanism may have the
proper conditions under which they will
gradually blend themselves together and
produce the harmonious machine which
the car designer intended it should be.
