Goodyear People Furnish
Chart on Proper Initiation

To aid motorists to determine the
proper imitation pressures for their
tires, the Goodyear Tire and Rubber
company Of Akron. O., has issued a
cost-per-mile and imitation chart
showing air pressures and the corre-
spending load to be sustained. Proper
pressure depends not alone on the
tires size, but also on the load it is
to carry. To find the actual load on
each tire, the front and rear OF the
fully loaded sh aid be weighed
separately and divided by two. For
each tire size the Goodyear chart
shows the proper air pressures for
specified loads.

THE FARMER ONE, OF
UNCLE SANS DEFENDANTS
,rno chairman Soil I'm provemcnt Committee Atlanta, Ga.

One of your most pressing prob
lens and one to be acted upon without
delay, is the matter of obtaining your
fertilizer.
In spite Of the best efforts Of tho
manufacturers and the Government
materials for making fertilizers arc
scarce and high in price. Therefore,
il Is all the more necessary that what
fertilizers are to be distributed, should
be used upon soil that has received the
very best preparations the farmer IS
CAPABLE of giving.
The mobilization of our army, re-
curing q maximum movement or
troop trains and supply trains, has ov-
er-taxed the capacity OF our railroads
as never before, and in order for fer
tillzers to be distributed this season,
the movement must of necessity, b.
gin early and the unloading CT cars
ct destination be done with utmost
despatch. Every car must be loaded
to capacity.
Today fertilizers arc cheaper than
farm crops or farm labor. A bale CT
cotton, bushel Of corn, oats or
wheat, will buy more pounds Of fe.til-
ixers now thcn ever before, hence 70
assure the performance of patriotic
duty, with great profit to yourself, or
der your fertilizers promptly so that
YOU may be sure to get them. And
when you get them, use them with
the greatest degree of intelligence.
Satisfactory results are bound to fol-
low-both to you and to the Govern
mcnt.
