FORD EXPERT FAVORS
 WESTERN MOTOR OIL

C. T. Hobart, head of the service department of the Ford company, is quoted in a recent article in the Ma tional Petroleum News as favorinS an automobile oil made from an as phalt-base crude.
 Our experiments were first made with oil made from Pennsylvania crude said MT. Hobart. We found we had better success, however, when we used an oil made from western crude. as it does not thicken up at as low 3 temperature.'
 This opinion from an automobile expert is especially interesting at this time. since it bears out the de cision of the International Jury at the Panama Pacific International Ex- position, who awarded highest hon. ors among automobile oils to Zero !ene, an oil a made from California asphalt base crude.

Although Of brief duration, the har-
vest disease. as it is commonly known
lis one Of the most annoying and trou-
.besome complaints Of the summer sea-
son. 1t is Of frequent occurrence, sell
dom recognized, and widely dissemin-
ated The disease is generally ascrib-
ed to error Of diet, over-exeruou or
poisoning. and but few of the afflicted
are aware tina the cause of their suffer
ing is q minute stx-legged insect.
The "ugger," "chigger,' or harvest
mite, which occasions this vexatious
summer eruption belongs to the mite
family. This in itself is sufficient to
cause some doubt in the minds of the
enlightened, inasmuch as several 9TH
er members of the family have gained
fame through misbehavior. The itch
mite is notorious example. It has
been with us since history began and
still atlicts the human race The
straw mite, only recently discovered, is
also acquiring somewhat Of a reputa-
ton.
The adult jigger is harmless. It ap-
parenJly loves the freedom Of the
woods and open fields. attaching itself
to leaves and grasses and utterly jig
u0ring all human intruders. The young
are Matched in July and August and
appear from the eggs as minute or

Frequently the eruption resembles that

BACK TO THE SOIL MYTH.

The "hacl-t0-the-Tand movement
which has been noticeable in Amer
lean life for some time. has been
analysed by The national department
Of agriculture and pronounced unnec-
essary. The department devised a
. QUESTIONABLE" ana sent it out to about
$4,000 crop correspondents. who were
requested to report to what extent, in
the region for which they were to an
sweU, there had been a movement Of
population from cities and towns TO
the country for the purpose of eneag-
ing in agriculture either as the chief OF
as q secondary object of country life
The answers have come in, have been
compiled, and the conclusions of the
department have been drawn there
from. The department concludes
that however interesting or pictur-
esque such a migration may be. it is
not economically necessary yet to
maintain proper balance between
production and consumption. This in
formation is given by George K.
Holmes Of the bureau Of crop esti-
mates of the department
Is a back-to-the-Iand movement
needed? is the query that naturally
arises. 8Tr. Holmes reply is q mega
tive Although the agricultural popu-
lation is a diminishing fraction Of the
total population, yet agricultural labor
is made more and more efficient by
the use Of machines ana by better agri-
cultural processes From the point OF
view OF national self-suflc cheney in aE-
riculturaI production, Mr.. Holmes as
sertz. the fact still remains that ma
tionaI production continues to supply
an enormous surplus. Agricultural
products contribute hundreds OF mill
lions 10 the annual value Of exports.
1.-THE problem OF maintaining the ma
tional agricultural production at the
least no lower than sufficient for 8
generous national consumption does
not yet depend on the exodus to agri-
culture Of q population OF low efficiency +
from cities and towns Tor the reason
that the nation still possesses q large
reserve in its present agricultural
population, he concludes. The real /
problem in its practical form IS the (
holding of this reserve on the soil or. +
at the least. the prevention Of its de-
pletion below the point o. national re-
