TO OPERATE TRACTOR
ENGINEER SHOULD KNOW EVERY
PART OF HIS MACHINE.
Trouble Generally Caused by Two or
Three Persons Handling Engine
Too Many Are Satisfied
10 Machine Runs.

BY e. r. GROSS. Colorado Agricultural
College, Fort Collins, Coio)
Trouble with the tractor often oc-
ours when the operator can assign no
cause. This is most likely to be the
case when two or three persons handle
the machine and no one is definitely
the engineer" and responsible for the
machine. 1t may also happen to an
inexperienced engineer.
The timing of the spark and adjust
ment of valves are Just sufficiently
delicate to cause much trouble If they
are allowed to shift slightly on ac-
count of loose bolt or are slightly
changed by one operator without the
knowledge Of the others
1t is necessary to have one person
who is the engineer and have him as
we'll informed as possible on his ma
chine. Every day he should learn
something more about 1t and its op-
Grafton. until he can truly say at all
times just how every part is and thus
locate trouble as soon as it occurs.

unavoidable accidents, and these will
be rare.
The expert sent out from the factory
cannot operate the tractor as well as
the engineer who operates 1t daily,
yet he may be able to find trouble the
operator could not locate. 1t is the
experts business to locate trouble. the
operators, to avoid it. Too many
are satisfied II a machine runs. That
is not enough. Does it run right
Are all bearings perfectly fabricated
and properly adjusted? Is there pound

Is the valve and spark adjustment
such as to give the highest power? Nc
one can answer these questions sc

tor knows. You can't get an operator
who knows these things for your trac
tor, but you should get one who will
know, when he has been on the jot

NEW CORN DISEASE IS FOUND
Trouble Manlfests Itself In Weak
enIng Of Stalk, So That Plant 10
Easily Blown Over.

Fifteen million dollars annually is
my estimate of the loss caused In
Iowa by this corn disease" said DR.. L.
H. Pammel of the Iowa State college
botany department, speaking Of the
new fusarium cornstalk disease be-
fore the Iowa Corn and Small Grain
Growers association recently.
The disease, which was discovered
only last year. Is closely related to de-
structive diseases of cotton and fax.
It manifests itself in weakening Of
the stalk, so that the corn plant is
easily blown over, some fields being
so affected that nearly all Of the stalks
are broken. A pink mold is often
found in the pith of the stalk, and the
pith is completely destroyed, usually.
at the point where the stalk breaks
