AUTO DRIVING IS
RIGHT EXERCISE
San Francisco Physician Sees
Not Only Physical, But
Mental Benefits.
IS STARTLING HyPOTnlS SIS
Takes Exception to often Repeated
Objection That General Use Of
Motors Is Deteriorating-
Muscles Developed.

That motoring is probably the finest
form of exercise for the average man
and woman of today is a somewhat
startling hypothesis. Most of us do not
consider the driving Of a motorcar in
the light of exercise at all. In fact
one frequently hears regret expressed
that the general use of motor vehicles
has interfered with habits of exercise
that are important to our natural we'll
being.
A San Francisco physician takes ex-
ception to this view Of motorcar driv-
ing and shows that instead it is posi-
lively beneficial. He classifies its bene-
fits under three heads-phvsical, men
tai, and what he terms volitional.
Essential Merit.
'It Is the muscles Of the arms, to-
gether with those of the chest and
abdomen, that pre-eminently and habit
ually suffer" he says. Here we find
lack of development. softness, fiabbi-
ness and the accumulation of unwhole-
some fat. And it is precisely here that
the steering wheel Of the car may come
to the rescue. 1t is true that the
handling of the wheel, particularly If
the car Is small, is not a very siren
nous form of exercise, but that, in
stead of being a defect, is an essential
merit.
Their best interests are met by
precisely the kind Of efforts that the
steering wheel, supplemented by the
handling Of the gear and brake levers,
requires, namely, mild but persistent
action, which involves. first and last,
virtually all the muscles of the arms,
chest and abdomen.
Benefits Derived.
"When you drive a car 40 or 20
miles over average American roads
or a fraction of that distance In the
city. you give your arms and torso a
course of purposeful calisthenics that
rebounds directly TO the benefit Of your
muscles, arteries and heart, and indi-
rect'v. but no less significantly. To the
benefit of your digestive apparatus, and
the organs of elimination, and blood
and nervous systems"
The doctor proceeds to point out
that. in addition 10 the exercise, the
motorist has been in the open air. buff
feting the winds, inhaling ample guam
titles of oxygen to meet the increased
need of the accelerated currents of
blood corpuscles, and that digestion
tated and the toxic products accumu-
lated through former ~inaction are in
Increased measure oxidized and elm
mated.

a crop like this, the farmer takes out
an insurance policy that he can con-
tinue raising a variety Of cor that has
proved its merits. If he neglects this
opportunity Of providing himself with
a good supply Of the right kind Of seed.
he may have to start over with a va
riety that he knows nothing about. that
may not be adapted to his locality or
his land. that may bring with 1t some
disease or insect pest, and that. In
any event. he will have to experiment
with for several seasons before he
knows what 1t will do for him and
what he must do with 1t.
Where Every Day Counts
The sowing of seed corn from a crop
Of the right kind is a matter Of impor-
lance everywhere. but more particular
ly so in the northern portion of the
country. That is where the vicissitudes
Of the seasons are most likely to bring
about a soft crop. There. also, low vi
tality means the heaviest handicap.
The South. with its long-growing sea-
son. might sometimes afford a corn
crop that gets away to a slow start.
but In the North every day counts
from the time the corr is put In the
ground until the crop Is safely har-
vested. Anywhere. however. the saw
ing Of the right kind Of seed has .
direct and important bearing on pro-
duction.
The department Of agriculture be-
lieves that every farmer can better az
ford to take the time, however much
his labor may seem to be needed else
where, to select at least two years
supply Of seed corn from this years
crop, than to run the risk Of being
caught, spring after next. with no suit
able corn to plant, with the resultant
delay, annoyance, and actual reduc-
ton Of yield. The day or so that the
puts in selecting his seed corn
will probably be the most profitable
days work he does In the whole year.

Where the cooperative plan Is not

The machines are sometimes hired by

The 1919 corn crop is a wonderful
crop from which to select seed corn.
Over most of the country it Is well
developed, fully matured, hard and
sound-just the sort of corn that a
fellow can bank on for a good stand
and big yields.
But 1t takes time to select seed corn.
You are busy. Some other job is call
ing you before you finish the one you
are at. You guess you will not take
the time to select any seed corn to
speak of.
All right-it's your business. But
think ahead a little. Imagine that It Is
the spring Of 1921. The year 1920, say,
was a poor corn year. Frost came
early and nearly all of the corn was
soft. You haven't any that is fit to
plant. The busy spring season is at
It's busiest. A score Of things are call
ing to be done at once. You have to
hitch up the horse or crank the car
and start securing the country for
some man who has q crib OF old corn.
Probably you fall to find him and have
to wait while the county agent or
somebody "sends down South" and
gets you some hard corn to plant.
Some waste Of time connected with
the process. isn't there7 After you
get 1t. perhaps 1t is unadapted to your
locality and yields a poor crop Of i'm
mature corn.
Save for Two Years.
This is one Of the reasons why the
orr experts of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture urge farmers
to select out of this years crop enough
seed corr to meet their needs for two
or three years. No farmer, particu-
larly in the northern portion Of the
United States. has time not to do 1t.
Still, the mere saving Of time Is not
the only reason. BY getting two or
three years supply Of seed corn out of

no animals on the farm that are as

They produce more milk and better
