PACKARD HOLDS ALL
RECORDS UP TO 600
Rail Oh De Palma Established
Mark of GIG Miles at
Sheepshead Bay.

A new worlds record for hours
was esta bished Nov. ] 6 by de Palma
at the Sheepshead Bay speedway.
when he covered Gle miles m Pack
ard Twelve. Ills actual distance was
633.12 miles, because Of the position
of the car above the mark set on
the track by the American Automo-
bile association designating miles
to each lap. The former record was
held by Kesta, Chassagne and Gum
ness. who drove a Sunbeam at Brook
lands 566 miles $50 yards, October !,
1913.
De Palma averaged officially 1928
miles per hour for 616 miles. Sls
actual average for the 633,12 miles
being 1882 miles per hour. At no
time during the record trial did his
AVERAGE fan below 1O1 miles per hour.
His highest official average was llO,
fcovered i'm the first hour. The speed,
excluding / 3 minutes 20 seconds stops,
was III miles per hour.
The Packard now holds all records
from 10 miles up to 600, regardless
of class or free-for-all classfications
for cars under 800 cubic inches. The
car empty weighed 2,4SO pounds. To
this may be added the weight Of IL
gallons Of Oil or SIS pounds; 80 gal
Ions of gasoline, or 227 pounds; D y
gallons Of water > pounds; de Pal
mas weight, 10 pounds; and his me
chanic. 1876 pounds. At III miles
per hour the engine was making 5000
revolutions per minute neglecting
slippage. The engine had travelled
1000 miles before todays test and
during the hours turned over TO-
355,50 revolutions.
Gasoline consumption averaged 9
miles per gallon the actual consupp-
tion being 67 gallons. Eight gallons
of oil were taken on. Eight tire
changes We're made. one right front
went 477 miles, when it had TO be
changed on account of being worn
out. Another on the same wheel last
ed 80 miles, the tread coming off. Two
right rears went at 2l7 and 234 miles
and then were changed on account of
wearing out. a left front was chang ~
after it had gone 51S miles because
of wearing out. Three left rears
were changed on account of wearing
out after they had gone respectively
217, 2G0 and 60 miles.
No stops were made in the first ,
hours, The first stop was made at
22S miles, when two rears and 20 gall
Ions of gasoline were taken on. Two
minutes and 20 seconds were lost No
stops were made i'm the 4th hour.
Two rears and a right front were
changed at 452 miles when 20 gallons

PAVED ROADS ARE
AID TO FARMERS
Nebraska Farmers Make Tour
of Investigation Thru Sew
eral Bordering States.

The Nebraska Farmer OF October 6
publishes number of opinions from
farmers who were members Of a party
of thirteen who had made a trip to
Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan, in
specting payed roads.
As usual, many of them referred to
the effect Of good roads on land val
uCs,
r. ]. Stewart said-"I have been
thoroly convinced that from an eco
nomic standpoint the permanency and
the increased value of land near the
paved roads makes Them absolutely
the correct thing, just as soon as the
expense of paving can be adjusted in
proportion to the advantages each
property owner derives from it,"
II. L. Tiger said-"rhc farmers that
we interviewed all claimed that paving
has increased the value of the land
from 20 TO 33 per cent from a cash
standpoint not figuring the social
convenience or the saving of time in
travelling over paved roads" cor
course these things figured in the in
creased value of land.-Ed)
II, II. leavitt said-"The farmers
around Detroit lAlited their loads to
the size Of their wagons. They also
said it was worth about $3.50 an acre
per year to have paved roads, lust be
cause it Improved their social condi-
tions, and the met with whom we
talked did not have automobiles
Another farmer was reported to
have said, Il paid a big price for this
land in order to be along this road"
referring to ore Of the paved roads.
Why not take the increased value of
the land TO pay for the roads which
cause the increase Ordinarily it will
not even take it all.

GOOD HIGHWAYS
MUST BE BU|LDED
There Must Be Production and
1t Must Be Handled
Economically.

The relation of good roads to the
economic handling Of farm products
is now so well understood by the
American agriculturist as to leave
little ground for controversy on the
subject. Nothing of material inter
est concerns more intimately the eco
nomiC welfare of the great mass of
the population than that the task of
bringing the products of the fields to
markets and consumers shall be sim
plified and correspondingly cheap
ened.
Much has been said in favor Of
shortening the time and cutting the
toll between the garden and the
kitchen. In theory plans with this
end in view have appealed strongly
to the public, in practice most of them
have failed Phe cause of failure has
almost invariably been traced to diff
ficulties in the way of expeditions and
economical local transportation aris-
ing directly from poor condition Of
the roads.

NEW YORK, Oct. 27, 1917.
Very little activity in leaf tobacco
occurred during the past week, the pri-
mary cause being the scarcity of that
commodity. Just at this particular
time both the manufacturing industry
as we'll as the leaf packers are jockey
ing about to secure domestic wrapper
material, of both the Florida and Con-
necticut Shadegrown varieties, mas
much as the imported article is now a
thing of the past. The prices that are
now being quoted on the Connecticut
Shadegrown as we'll as Florida wrap
pers remind one of the old days when
history is about to repeat itself seems
have been closed with tobacco in it's
present condition indicate that prices
will be higher than ever. What the
little buckeye factories will do for
material is matter of speculation.
The only ray of sunshine for them is
the announcement of determination
now arrived at through the trade re-
garding the advance in price of the s.
cent cigar, hereafter to be sold at 6
cents retail. This is bound to give en-
couragement to the buckeyes who will
no doubt follow suit. In fact, they
will have to do so if they hope to sur
vive. There is nothing doing in the
Shadegrown leaf market at the present
time but in the Havana and Porto
Rican types, of which there seems to
be substantial supply, there is lull.
Notwithstanding inactivity in both
Porto Rican and Havana tobaccos the
prices seemed to have stiffened The
cause for this apparent dullness is
probably the fact that the cigar manu-
facturers are upset at the present
time, due to the price reorganization
which is taking place. With the price
advance of the manufacturer, passed
along through the jobber and dealer
and on to the consumer, there can be
no doubt that the leaf trade, too, will
receive the benefits which are bound to
flow from the change journal.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS.,, Nov. 2, 1917.

EDGERToN, WIS.,. Nov. 2, 1917
A disaster which the tobacco grow
ers of this state have for some time
been fearing, occurred the fore part
of the week in hard freeze that pen
etrated the curing sheds. A big storm
followed by drop in temperature to
20 or below for a couple of nights has
wrought untold damage to the uncured
tobacco crop. Never before has this
state been visited by so early hard
freeze or one more destructive in
its character. 1t is believed that at
least half the crop has been more or
less affected, while the late harvested
portion is likely to be ruined. At most
it can mean tremendous money loss
to the Wisconsin tobacco growers, be-
sides it will require an additional
amount of trouble to separate the
frozen from the good leaf for there is
bound to be al unusual amount of fat
stems to contend with. Farmers who
had counted on large returns from
their tobacco crop must be prepared to
meet disappointment, but to what ex-
tent cannot yet be determined. Pos
sibly some use can be made of this
frozen leaf, time will tell At a time

NEW YORK. Oct. %, 1917.

The packers of domestic tobaccos
have in their hands the welfare and
prosperity of the cigar manufacturing
interests of the country in a peculiar
degree. They are in position to de-
stroy or save alive, and so far as the
general manufacturing industry is con-
cerned = meaning particularly those
manufacturers who do not buy their
raw materials from the farmer and
pack it themselves = the course pur-
sued by the packers will determine
whether many will weather the storm
or succumb. If the packers are wise
and unselish and patriotic, for it
amounts to that, the small and medium
sized manufacturer will survive. If
they pursue a selfish course, a great
many will have to close down for want
of raw materials. There is enough to-
bacco to carry the industry through to
another crop provided that it is dis
tributed equitably. There is not enough
to do this if the packers fortify their
favorite customers with a two years
supply and refuse to let others have
anything. The wise and patriotic pack
er will prevail upon his customers to
satisfy themselves with just enough to
get along with, so that there may be a
little left over for the less fortunate.
