Food Preparedness Campaign

Last year the State of Washing
ton loaded nearly 1000 cars cap
proximately $1,000 tons) of potatoes
for shipment to points inside and
outside of tie state. over half of
this output was from Yakima county
which bad 5000 acres in potatoes.
This year 5000 acres will go into
sugar beets in that country, much of
it being potato ground. Probably
not over 1900 acres will be in pota-
toes IN that county this year, while in
the four counties Of Walla Walia,
Garfield, Columbia, and Asotin,
,bout 400 acres were planted last
year ana over 1000 acres will be
planted this year.
The Canadian provinces are not
urging increased acreage of potatoes
They are urging to the utmost limit
the production of wheat corn, beans
and pork.
The wars of the past have been
fought on diet consisting largely of
Pork and Beans
ii your soil and climate are adapt
ed to growing beans, you have every
reason to plant all you can handle.
There is no crop now more in de-
mand. Ways will be found to trans
port them to the armies, even though
the spuds have been eyaporated or
fed to the pigs.
Every citizen, every family. every
seed dealer, having peas or beans
that can be used for seed will help
the cause of food production by mott
flying the local or county food pro-
ducts committee, or the county agent
in counties which have them. Such
committees will notify this office of
any surplus. Beans now on hand
should be used for seed and not for
food at this time.
Plant every foot of land you can
care for because in SO doing you will
be making money for yourself and
serving the country Plant the crops
that you do not have to sell in a
hurry.

Commissioner of Agriculture.

seed rime-Mhat 10 Plant

Now is the planting time. Within
the next so days we will put into the
ground the seed that will determine
whether everyone has plenty of food
this winter or not. The selfish in
tercst of each OF us is TO produce as
much as possible of the food that we
ana our dependents will require.
That applies in the city. where our
resources are limited to the back
yard, and in the country, as We'll
This is the safe thing at time like
this. Produce just as much as you
can of the things that you need for
yourself. Then take your surplus
ground and produce food staples. For
the man with large acreage that
means food cereals. TO the man
with few acres, it means other
crops. To many that will mean
Potatoes
Seed potatoes are now unreason-
ably high, owing to a short crop last
year in the east. The rule in pre-
vious years has been that when po-
tato seed is high, everybody plants
more than usual and the prices drop
at harvest time.
We may need more potatoes this
year than ever before. Owing to
high wheat prices and wheat short
age, we may have to use much potato
flour in our bread. A potato short
age in the east would, of course, take
any surplus that we could produce,
but If the east comes up with a full
crop, the man in this country who
has gambled by betting unreason-
ably on the potato market will be
very sorry. We do not make such
extensive use of potatoes as many
other people. We are told that Ger
many, with its limited area. has been
producing an average crop of nearly
fifty million tons a year of potatoes
while this country only grows one
fifth of that amount A safe rule is

AVOID ANNOYANCE BY
SPECIFYING TIRE STYLES
o. A. Steiner Gives Advice as To the
Kind OF Tires Go on
Some Rims

Much delay and annoyance can be

specifying the styles" says o. A.
Steiner, dealer in Firestone tires.
Regular clincher cases have stretch
able beads and are designed for use
on regular clincher inns they are
sometimes used also on quick detach-
able clincher rims. When used on
regular clincher rims It Is desirable
for sizes including the four-inch and
above 10 use clips or stay bolts 10 hold
beads securely in rim clinches. When
using regular clinchor tires on quick
detachable clincher rims. II is neces-
sary 10 use flaps to protect the inner
tubes
Quick detachable clincher cases
have non -stretchable beads and can
only be used on quick detachable
clincher rims and the split type Of
clincher rims. This style of tire should
always be equipped with flaps.
straight side or straight bead case5
have non -stretchable cables inbedded
In the base and are designed only for
quick detachable straight side rims
and split type of straight side rims.
Straight side tires are sometimes Csed
on quick detachable clinchers rims
having filler beads fitted in clinches of
rims. This is not TO DE recommended,
however, as the base width of this
style OF rim is not suitable for straight
side tires

The spOkes are Of wood, OF the usual

No heat is used in the making Of

spokes Of the Cole "S' wheels will
not shor-en them by shrinking and
there is always tight contact between
spokes and rim. This eliminates all
rattle from the wheels, an annoyance
so common In other types OF wood
wheels, because OF the tendency OF
the rim TO shrink.
Another feature OF the new wheel Is
the fact that tire changes are easter,
quicker, and surer. The use OF a
different sort OF rim lug is made pos
sihle, which does not wedge between
felloe and rim. but is belted sheer
against them both. thereby increas-

The weakness of other types or

the manufacturers as follows
The crushing strength Of wood
across the grain is only one fifth OF
its end-wise crushing strength. In
all uses TO which wood
feuoes are subjected, the strains are

true where the spokes enter the wood
