SHOWS ADVANTAGES OF USE
OF TRACTOR FOR FARM WORK

The theoretical advantages of the
mechanical power for farm work are
obvious, Says II. III. HARDWOOD of teh
Northwest Buick Company, mana ger
of the Bull Tractor department. It
is believed prospective purchaser
of a tractor should be Interested in
knowing what the mon who have
used tractors have found to be the
principle advantages in actual pract-
ice.
Recently several hundred tractor
owners were asked the question
what do you consider to be the
principle advantages of tractor for
farm work."
A summary If their replies to this
question discloses the following in
teresting point:
The ability of the tractor to do
the heavy work and do it quickly
thus covering the desired acreage
within the proper season was consid-
cred the principle advantage.
Saving of man labor and the doing
away with hired help was placed
next.
The ability to plow to good depth
especially in hot weather was placed
third.
Economy of operation, displace-
ment of horses, the ability to use the
tractor day and night was also con-
sidered to be a decided advantage.
1t is not the purpose of the North
west Buick Company to influence
either for or against the Bull Tractor
as a source of power, says Mr.. Har-
wood, but only to the farmer in de-
termining whether his individual con
ditions Justify the use of such power.

| F. r. Power sold his sixth
Grant Six touring car for thil
season last Friday. R. D. Thomp.
son of Meadville being the pur.
chaser. Mr., Power went to Kan
sas City last Saturday morning
and returned with the machine
that evening. Wanting some
heavy weights to hold the cal
down he invited Lee Hamilton and
the editor of THE BLADE to accom-
pany him. 1t was q fine trip and
gave us an opportunity to get first
hand information concerning crop
conditions and spend a few hours
on automobile row, one of the
livest spots in the city. To drop
down ON Grand Avenue anywhere
between 18th and 21st street one
would think the city was made up
Of one industry. And it is GER
tainly one of the big industries
and growing all the time.
The return was made north from
the city over the Jefferson High
way, Manitoba to New Orleans, so
marked, for about fifty miles.
Through Clay and Clinton counties
there are certainly some hills, but
hills are nothing to the Grant Six;
she literally eat 'em up on high. !"
The roads are we'll graded and
smooth, showing the good work of
the drag, almost all the way.
We doubt if corn prospects he
tween Laclede and Kansas City
were ever better than at the present
time and the acreage is large. The
amount Of garden stuff being raised
this year is enormous. No part
of the country seems to be lacking
in that respects. The market
house in Kansas City was a veri-
table mountain of vegetables and
fruits of all kinds. Every farm
seems to have field of oats this
year and we passed thousands of
acres of fine ones just ready for
the harvester. To motor from
Kansas City to Laclede with the
present condition of the roads is a
delightful trip and to make it with
Frank in a Grant Six is a real
treat.

versity of Missouri college Of agri-
culture indicating that the method
of canning vegetables which has
proved completely successful in
previous years is resulting in a
number of failures this year. No
satisfactory reason can be offered
except that there is some evidence
that the bacteria which causes can
ned vegetables to spoil are more
resistant in some years than others.
1t is probable also that the inferior
can rubbers and can tops on the
market this year may be causing
the trouble.
In the absence of a satisfactory
explanation of the trouble which
housewives have been having with
canned vegetables, the college of
agriculture recommends that the
period of sterilization for certain
vegetables be increased in accor-
dance with the following: The
time for sterilizing, asparagus
which was ~ hours should be in
creased to 2 hours, greens formerly
~ hours increased to 2 hours,
pumpkin formerly l hour increased
to 2 hours, squash formerly l hour
increased to 2 hours, lima beans
formerly 2 hours increased to 3
hours, peas formerly 2 hours in
creased to 8 hours.
This change in the time of >steri-
Iization does not mean that the
shorter period is not correct with
careful work and with conditions
as they have been in previous years
but the longer period will tend to
correct imperfect workmanship and
the unusual conditions which seem
to prevail this year.
The following points are again
/. Do not begin to count time
when the jars are placed in the
Gamer but wait until the water
begins to boil hard.
2. Count time only while water
is boiling hard. If it stops for
only a few minutes, make up for
lost time with longer boiling.
3. Use only new rubbers. If
they are so poor that they are
destroyed in the boiling or. if they
slip from under the lid or are cut
by the lid when it is screwed down,
remove the rubber, replace it with
a new one which has been placed
IN boiling water for 10 minutes.
Then place the jar back in the
,anner and sterlize 80 minutes
onger.
4. Fit lids carefully before
placing the product in the can.
5. Do not be alarmed if the
water does not cover the product
n the can. It will keep just as
veil. Some water will escape in
he form of steam if the lid is not
airly tight and some will be alb
orbed by the product especially if
is corn or mature peas and beans.

FORCE CLAIMS
DEAL WAS RAW
Says Fulton is Willing to Go
Back Into the Ring With
Carl Morris.

Minneapolis, April 10.-Fred Fulton
and Manager Frank Force returned to
Minneapolis today and Force as man
ager says that Fulton was the recipi-
ent of about as raw a Zeal as q bat
tier ever went up against when he lost
the fight to Morris in New York on q
foul.
the ring Wednesday night in New
York I reminded Referee Brown that
a butting was just as much foul as a
blow low and he agreed. No sooner
did the fight start than Morris started
butting, holding and hitting and hold
ing and butting. 1t was the worst
thing 1 eve saw in my life. Referee
Brown warned Morris about his but
fy him. Morris butted Fulton in the
head n cut his y open and it
bled %profusely. This made Fred look
bad but 1t did not hurt his courage.
He kept right on. He boxed clean and
fast n made a monkey out Of Nor
ris When they boxed, but Morris SIM
ply insisted on getting in close and
with it.
FINALLY when Fulton pumped
three into Morris stomach the Okla
homan dropped to his knees and
Brown went over as if to count. In
Norris corner they started yelling
FOUL" and we yelled for him to
count. He must have lost his head. He
decided Fred had fouled and gave the
bout to Morris. He wasn't fouled. He
had done all the fouling that was
done.
"It was so bad that once Fulton
held Morris and asked Brown if he
was going to permit Morris to pull
that sort of stuff and Brown told him
to go OF and fight.
"Now here is the crux Of the mat
ter. Fulton car beat Morris anywhere
and any time. We are ready today to
make another match with Morris
here or in Wisconsin or any STATE
where they will let Tex Richard ref
cree the match. Richard is absolutely
on the level. All we want is a fair
referee who will make Morris fight
and not butt and hold and hit. FrId
can whip Morris and make him look
foolish with a referee who will make
Morris fight according to commission
rules. I am not a welcher and would
not yell If Morris had fought inside
Of the rules Of boxing and beaten
