Comparing county control with dis

mend it," says the bulletin, although
the district unit is still the most COM

at large. The district unit of organi-
cation is in practice in 20 states.

PLANTERS OF EARLY
POTATOES TAKE NOTICES

Washington, d. C.-Truck growers
who annually plant a considerable
acreage of potatoes are warned by
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture that there was, on January
1, 1915, very much larger supply
of northern-grown potatoes in the
hands of growers and dealers than
was the case January 1, 1914. Expe-
rience has demonstrated that a large
hold-over crop of northern-grown po-
tatoes which is in good condition and
selling at a reasonable price when
the early truck-crop potatoes reach
the market means low prices-some-
times so low that the shipment of
such crops nets a loss to the grower.
Under such conditions a small acre
age means a smaller loss than large
acreage.
With AZ 900 900 more bushels of po-
tatoes in sight January 1, 1915, than
were available at the same time last
year and with a 1915 price of 43.2
cents as compared with 66.2 cents
year ago, a price which under the
then existing conditions did not i'm
prove before the truck crop began to
move, there is little hope that the
conditions will be better this year.
The price now is just about 33 per
cent less than it was year ago. The
distribution Of the crop is much bet
ter than last season so there is little

Gear Examination.

A periodical examination of the
gears should be made from time to
time to ascertain if on all speeds
forward and reverse-the teeth of the
gears and the dogs mesh home as they
should do. If the change-speed sys-
TEN is one in which the position of the
lever is controlled by uotches in 4
quadrant it is fairly easy matter to
correct the mesh by fitting the fresh
notches and closing up the old ones,
although in reality the proper place to
adjust matters is to make good the
parts which have actually worn.
This last is, however, an expensive
affair and involves taking the gears
right out in most cases. although it is
sometimes possible to remove the slid
ing forks and set them up by riv-
citing a piece of steel plate to their
sides if they or the grooves they work
in are worn
In any case do not tolerate gears
which do not come fully into mesh.
Alter the notch or make good the de-
feet other than indicated in time or
you will, sooner or later, be faced with
the expense of paying for renewing
set of gears which otherwise might
have lasted for a long period Of hard
service.

TENDERS REDUCE THE DUST
These Sweep Down Behind Rear
Wheels and Protect Occupants
of Vehicle.

One of the successful racing drivers
several seasons ago won a leading po-
sition in a big Indianapolis event be-
cause he took advantage of the suction
behind the car of the favorite. Com
PARSONS afterward showed that this
maneuver added appreciably to the
average speed of his own machine.
This incident is mentioned merely to
illustrate how powerful is the draft in
the wake of a rapidly moving motor
vehicle. Racing car designers en-
deavor to shape the car bodies with
torpedo or turtle-back lines that the
suction may be reduced
On the other hand many designers
of cars for everyday owners service
have added materially to this back
draft by tenders which sweep far down
behind the rear wheels. While the
non-racing driver does not object to
the small reduction in speed, he does
dislike the resulting swirl of dust
which hangs over the tonneau in dry
weather and the muddy spray which
bespatters the occupants of the rear
seats in wet going. A new type of rear
tenders is typical of a common-sense
design by which these disagreeable &C.
currences are entirely eliminated.

Radiators Should Be Flushed.

When a radiator is first put in serv-
ice it should be flushed out with
twelve to fifteen gallons of clean wa
ter, after which 1t should be filled
with clean water through the screen
in the filler tube. In service only
clean water should be used, and 1t
should always be filled through the
screen. If filled to the top the surplus
water will, when the motor is started,
escape through the overflow tube lead
ing from the filler to the bottom Of
the radiator. This tube also offers a
means Of escape for any steam that
may form in the water. Every two
or three weeks the flushing operation
should be repeated. A draincock in
the bottom of radiator or on outlet
casting permits of easy drainage.

VARNISH NEEDS PROPER CARE
Immediate Attention at the End of
Each Trip VIII Do Much to Keep
Vehicle in Condition-Best
Method of Remov-
ino Mud.

Why is it that man or woman, who
in the matter of dress are immaculate,
whose shoes and headwear are always
neat, and whose home is cleanliness
personified, will drive around in an au-
tomobile that looks as if it had been
out in the weather for a decade, and
had never experienced a bath or had
had a coat of paint? The only answer
to this is that they don't know how to
keep a car looking neat.
All automobiles are turned out by
the factories and sold by the agents
looking as if they had just been
turned out by a piano finisher. 1t is
easy enough with little knowledge,
care and attention to keep them look
ing that way.
The touring season is about to open,
and in travelling over the country
roads the car is sure to accumulate
considerable dust and dirt. AS soon
as the trip is finished it should receive
immediate attention, and in the man.
ner OF washing the automobile lies
the whole secret of keeping the car
looking like new.
No varnish will endure being
scrubbed with brush or with hot wa
ter No varnish will withstand the
chemical action of ammonia or any
kind of I've soap nor any Of the com
mon washing fluids or powders. No
TTor Itch will C,t0 Il
rubbed off, nor will it endure the grits
of dust and mud driven into it by the
water blast from high pressure hose
to which it is often subjected.
Use water at so degrees or lower and
a soft, clean cloth or sponge. 1t is best
to use no kind of soap unless it is pure
CASTLE. Mud, wet or dry, should be
removed with flowing water squeezed
from clean sponge or flowing from a
hose with little pTessure-never with a
water blast.
When not in use keep the car COW
cred with a soft-lined cover. All dust
contains grit and all smoke contains
acid, and against these a cloth cover
oilers adequate protection.
However we'll varnish has endured
weather testing, it may be seriously
affected by instant extremes of tenn
perature. A glass dish may be filled
with boiling water, slowly, without
cracking it, and may be filled with ice
water, slowly, but it will invariably
crack if plunged instantly from boiling
water into ice water and vice versa
Some useful "don'ts" follow:
Don't allow curious persons to lay
their hands on the varnish of your
cart creates instant change of
temperature.
Don't keep your car in a stable or
near horses. Ammonia fumes are
deadly to varnish.
Don't assume that any varnish can
last forever. Good varnish lasts a rea-
sonable length of time even with care
less treatment; but it lasts two or
three times as long if you treat it
we'll.
