Tumulty Says Reports of wilson

Washington, July 12.-Secretary
Tumulty today issued a statement de-
claring reports of a disagreement be-
tween President Wilson and Senator
Hitchcock, who has been one of hi,
most ardent supporters, are untrue.
The statement follows:

ment was to show his interest in farm
management. He found it submerged
in the Bureau of Plant Industry,
which deals only with certain phases
OF agriculture. He established 1t as
separate office for the simple rea-
son that he recognized its Importance
and especially the fact that it dealt
with many other aspects of farming
than plant production, In his an
nual report for 1914 he stated:
farm management conceiyes the
farm as a whole Its problem is not
primarily a plant industry problem.
1t is rather a business or economic
problem. 1t is not one of which the
agronomist has necessarily the requi-
site training, although the service of
the agronomist as we'll as the serv-
ices of experts of other bureaus are
invoked. Since its function is that
OF studying the farm from the bust
ness point of view in ali it's aspects,
it seemed advisable to relate the Of
flee to that of the Secretary, so that
the officers might feel conscious of
no bureau limitations. Similar con-
siderations led to the conclusion that
the arm-demonstration work should
not be attached to a particular bu-
reau."
The facts as to the funds available
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1919-04-11

der the ban" when the Secretary
came to the Department; that the
Secretary had pledged himself to de-
stroy the office; that the Secretary
stated in a public address, that he
would see that the office did not
grow any in the future; and that the
Secretary has kept his word in this
matter. The evidence offered for
these untrue allegations is the asser-
ton that when the Secretary came
into office the Office of Farm Man
agement had fund of about $780,
600 year for field investigations
whereas this fund is now about
$21S.0OO.
Mr.. Spillman evidently is man
of great vanity. He recommends
himself very highly. He seems to
have labored under the impression
that certain people were sitting up
nights thinking of nothing but him.
He even goes so far as to say that
the Secretary had pledged himself to
destroy his office. AS a matter of
fact, the Secretary had met Mr.. Spill
man only once before he came to
Washington, had forgotten his ex-
istence, and did not know that he
held such an office. One of the first
things that the Secretary did in re-
organizing the work of the Depart
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1919-04-11

for farm management are the re-
verse of those given by Mr.. Spillman.
The total appropriations for the of
flee in 1913, when the Secretary
came here. were approximately
$4,000. About 60 per cent of this
sum, or $4,000, was used for farm
demonstration work, and 10 per cent,
or $4,000, for work relating to cac-
tus and weeds and farm structures.
None Of these activities had any place
in the Office of Farm Management.
In the reorganization of the work of
the Department, which became eff
fective on July /, 1915, they were
transferred to other branches of the
Department where they properly be-
longed-the farm demonstration
work to the State Relations Service,
the cactus and weeds work to an
other office in the Bureau of Plant
Industry, and the farm structures
work to the Division of Rural Engin-
eering in the Bureau of Public Roads.
These transfers were in the interest
of economy and good administration.
1t will thus be seen that the sum
available in 1913 for actual farm
management studies was less than
100000. The total appropriations
of the Office of Farm Management
for 1919 are $3O5,O9O, an increase

Red Crown Gasoline Conforms
to United States Government
Standard

All Red Crown gasoline now being supplied
IN the Pacific Coast States is refined to con-
form to the United States Government Stand
ard specifications. 1t is straight-distilled all
refinery gasoline having the full, uniform chain
OF boiling points necessary for full-powered.
dependable gasoline: Low boiling points for
easy starting, medium boiling points for quick.
smooth acceleration, and high boiling points
for power and mileage.

Boiling Points the Real Test

Gasoline is known to the refner as one mem
Der of the petroleum family. He distinguishes
each member of the family, not by gravity, but
by boiling points. Gravity is fleeing stand
ard of test, but boiling points are unchanging
in their value and always determine the quality
OF the product. Knowing them the refner can
keep his product uniform and reliable.
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1919-04-11
What Is a Boiling Point?

A boiling point is the temperature at which
liquid will begin to boil or vaporize.
In distilling given quantity of gasoline the
refiner ascertains at what point each 10 per
cent will boil, until the entire quantity is evap-
Grated or distilled. In this way he determines
what is known as the initial boiling point, as
well as all intervening boiling points in the
chain, up to the maximum, high boiling point.
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1919-04-11

storage by evaporation would be great. There
must be just enough low boiling points to va
porize freely and give easy starting. The higher
boiling points are necessary for quick accelera-
ton, high power and long mileage.
AS combustion starts with the lowest boiling
points and flashes on through the gas, the con-
hnuous chain of boiling points-from the low
to the high i is necessary for instantaneous,
tull-powered combustion. Only straight dis
titled, all-refinery gasoline can have the contin-
uous, uniform chain of boiling points
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1919-04-11
Boiling Points Tell the Story

Boiling points determine the vaporizing and
conclusive qualities of gasoline. They decide
the action of the gas developed from gasoline.
They are the only true measure of gasoline
value
An ideal gasoline has boiling points in con-
tinuous, uniform chain. There must not be too
many low boiling points, otherwise the loss in

You will observe that on June IL,
1917, Mr.. Sptllman believed that
$3.50 was an adequate price for
wheat. The record of this view i'm

point. AS a matter of fact, when the

myself learned, in way that / could
not doubt, that 1t was in the minds of
some Of the members of the commit

and told him that l thought 1t was
much better not to stand upon cere-
nony and await the request of an
other department OF the government
ior information. but to go ahead and
present IT, lest great injury be done.
We therefore had a conference with

representatives OF several branches
OF the Department. including he.
