with some attempt at military cohe-
sion. The truck work, however, was
more or less of a problem of every
man to drive his own machine.
New System Developed.
When the American army reached
France, with the greatly restricted
area of operation, the shorter dis
tances for ordinary hauls and the in
tense congestion Of the roads, 1t was
necessary to develop a military pre-
cision In handling of trucks, before
that unheard of. The French trans
port was first to develop this pre-
cisiOn, and its vital need was shown
in the British offensive on the Aisne
In 1917. when the enormous number
of over $500 trucks moved an entire
British corps In military formation
into the fighting line. Such a column
meant nearly 100 miles of length for
the train. And to have this body of
trucks operating properly the strict.
est discipline was required.
This truck discipline was first sys-
tematized on the French lines by work
and experiments at Camp Johnson,
Fla, near Jacksonville, the mother
school of the motor transport corps,
and was soon developed into book
form and standardized for the army.
Thorough Training Given.
To the commercial truck operator.
however, the work done to train the
drivers In the handling of their veh-
cles was far more important. Every
man who went into the corps was
given thorough training in the opera.
tion of the motor vehicles, and while
the Camp Johnston school was work.
Ing out truck discipline enormous re-
pair and shop units were In full op.
GRAFTON in other parts of the country.
Such, for instance at Camp Holabiri,
near Baltimore, and at Atlanta. while
over in the West there were such
units as at San Antonio. These were
mechanical organizations for repair
work and for shop training.

Where long rods of small diameter

diameter should be firmly attached at
one end to the middle of each rod and
the other end extended under tension

When Uncle Sans armies finished
the war the motor transport corps
comprised a force of roughly 10000
trained drivers of motortrucks, cars
and motorcycles.
OF this great force. only about half
were trained drivers when they en-.
listed for the service, so Ii was neces-

men TO train $4,000 men to drive auto

The ammunition trains, supply
trains, sanitary trains and casual mo-

seas were composed of trained driv-
ers, as a rule. Those who came after
were the men who did not know cars,
engines, or any of the problems of
driving. particularly such problems as
driving over roads under shell fire or
with the great congestion Of the roads
10 the fighting zone In France. The
men who came In the second great
rush of men for the army had there
fore to be trained from the very be-
ginning to know the machine, and
then to know the problems Of driving
In formation on military roads.
BIG Problems Presented.
The two big phases were the teach
Ing Of the mechanism of the truck
engine-I say truck because this was
by far the more vital part of the
training of driving in military forma-
tlons of huge fleets of trucks.
Now that the war is over the prob

machine is by far the more important
TO the commercial truck operator. As
to the military formation required In
the army, this can be disposed of
quickly.
On the Mexican border, and with
the Pershing expedition into Mexico,
the problem Of mass operations with
trucks was of minor importance. The
drivers went forward with some sem
blance of military formation, with
certain distances between trucks, and

RULES FOR RADIATORS

The radiator takes so little
care that we are likely to give 1t
even less than 1t requires. Here
is simple rule which will give
good results:
/. Keep it full, especially with
a thermo-syphon cooling system.
The less the water, the less the
cooling effect and the worse for
the motor by overheating.
2. Keep 1t full when using al
cohOl In winter. The smaller the
volume of mixture, the sooner 1t
boils and evaporates.

sistency and is difficult to recognize
in its natural location.
With the firm warm days Of early
spring the larva in the cocoons begin
to change to the pupa or resting
stage. The pupa period during April
and May lasts from two to three
weeks, depending upon the season.
The adult flies are always abroad by
the first week in May, by which time
the young clover heads have begun
to appear. The adults of the Glow
er-fower nudge are present in great
est numbers from May Is to June 1,
by which time most of them have
disappeared. BY far the greater
portion of their eggs are laid upon
the young clover during that period,
and each female fly may lay as many
as 100 eggs. If the clover is cut
shortly. after the egg-laying period
ceases, all the maggots are killed and
few or no flies are able to survive
to infest the later crop, which ma
lures the clover seed.

last week in the Manufacturers
Record, the South will produce over
250,000,000 bushels of wheat this
year. At prices now quoted
throughout the South, that section
will receive for its 1919 wheat crop
about 1856, 100000, or an increase
of 1896, 1000, 700, or 81 per cent more
than the value of its 1918 crop.

KILL CL0vER-FL0WER NUDGE
FOR MORE REO-CLOvER SEED

Red clover seed is scarce and high
in price The clover flower nudge
is partly responsible for this con-
dition. 1t eats tn eimmature' seed
vessels Of clover and prevents the
seed from forming. Most of this
injury can usually be prevented by
pasturing lightly or cutting the cloy-
err at the proper time to kill the mag
gots Of the first generation, accord
ing to United States Department of
Agriculture specialists.
The clover-fower nudge is a small
mosquito like insect, which lays its
eggs in the young clover heads. The
maggots upon Matching burrows in
to the immature flower and kills the
seed-producing vessels. 1t affects
red clover principally and is re-
sponsible at times for very heavy
losses to the clover seed crop in this
country.
The clover-fower nudge passes
the winter as larva, or maggot,
generally in a silken case or cacoon
on or slightly below the surface of
the ground. The cocoon is very
small, oval, and measures approx
