WIDE TIRES IMPROVE ROADS
They Have Same Effect on Country
Highways a. y Roller on Piowsd
Fieid-Wagon Pulls Easier.

The following appeared in recent
issue of Extension News Service" :"
published by the University OF Ne
braska.
VIDE tires build up roads and save
horse labor. according to the depart.
ment OF agricultural engineering at
the university farm. They have the
same effect upon country road as a
roller on plowed field. On the other
hand. the narrow tire cuts up road
like q disk. II has been found by
actual test In this department that
the wide-tlred wagon pulls easier in
nearly all cases than the narrow-tired
wagon. In deep mud on a country
road the wide-tired wagon pulls SO per
cent easier. On the country road
with . thin surface of mud or deep
dust. however. the narrow tires pull
80 per cent easier. In q cornfield
the wide tires pull 30.5 per cent easier,
in . dry alfalfa field 17.7 per cent
easier. and on dry country road lO.2
per cent easier.
