The Motor-Using
Farmer. to Aid i'm
Its Development
Dealers Hercabouts Organ
ize to Study the Problem
and to Present Solution
TO Tillers of the Soil

To help the truck farmers Of New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut and
Long Island (within q certain radius
Of the metropolis) to develop their
farms by means Of motor transporta-
tion. tho dealers In commercial vehicles
Of New York City arc about to take
organized measures to invade this field.
They expect to show to the til1ers of
the soil. that tho motor truck Is not
only an economical investment to the
farmer, but under present conditions
almost an absolute necessity. To this
end q meeting is to be held this week
in this city, which will be attended by
about thirty dealers. Some truck manu-
facturers say they expect more than 80
per cent Of the trucks built this year
to be sold to farmers. There are al
ready about 100000 motor trucks on
American farms, and by the most con-
servative calculation It is estimated
that there are 100000 prospects for
motor trucks In tho agricultural dis
tricts to-day.
Study which the farm bureau Of the
Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company
has given TO the subject Of the "mo-
torization Of the farm" reveals some
interesting figures. Back in the year
1880 70 per cent Of the population OF
this country lived on farms, and each
farmer had to produce enough, food;
the mere fraction of another family
before he could think Of expectation.
To-day only 80 per cent Of the popula-
tion livs on farms, and each farmer
has TO produce enough for his own
family and two other families before
no can begin to think Of exporting
food. That is. upon only 80 per cent
Of tho population rests the burden Of
feeding the entire population Of over
i00.000,000. This total population has
been increasing at a tremendous rate;
before tho war. which practically
stopped immigration, this rate was
At the same time the rural popula-
tion Is steadily decreasing. Since 1900
more than 100000 people have moved
from the farms of this country into
the cities. Hence, the fact that since
1900 there has been population in
crease Of 81 per cent while there has
been q food production increase Of
only 10 per cent. AS a consequence
from 1913 to 1913 crop and livestock
prices increased 10 per cent. Since
1880 we have changed from a pro-
ducing nation to a consuming nation.
What Is the significance of all this?
Simply this--that as the supply Of
manpower and horsepower diminishes
the demand for bread and meat In
creases: that the problem of the Amer
ican farmer is to produce more food
with less labor, to raise bigger crops
with less men and horses.
to a marked extent in the complete
m motorization Of the farm.
The last and undoubtedly the most
important step in this motorizing of
the farm is the introduction Of the
motor truck, for 1t solves the farmers
hardest problem, that Of transporta-
tion. and thereby takes tho last drudg-
cry out Of farm work.

Fuel Saving Device
Packard Engineer Brings
Out New sssFuelizer''-
Aims to Make Any Caso-
line Usable i'm Engine

Details Of the invention Of an auto
mobile device known as tho fuelzert were
given recently at session Of the Soci-
ETY. Of Automotive Engineers by the
president of that association, Col. Jesse
G. Vincent, vice-president of the Pack
ard Motor Car Company Of Detroit. The
fuelizer, which forms part of the car
buretion system Of the engine, is stated
by Colonel Vincent to be an invention
that may revolutionizo the motor car
industry by making even low grade
fuels more efficient than the gasoline in
use to-day, and also practically does
away with carbonizing Of the engine.
The purpose of the fuelizer is to sup
ply heat to the charge of gasoline. The
mixture that comes from the carburetor
thus is changed into dry vapor, readily
and fully explosive in the cylinders. Its
needs Of the engine. The appliance was
developed by L. M. Woolson in the cx-
perimental laboratories Of the Packard
Company.
"The fuel situation, due to the cnor-
NOUS expansion Of the automobile in
dustry, has become serious. The fuel
izer not only assures efficient perform
ance on present-day fuels, but it gives
insurance to motor car owners against
difficulties which the future may bring"
says Colonel Vincent. "It has been rec
ognized BY engineers that the solution
Of the fuel problem was to be found in
the proper carburetion Of available fuels
rather than any radical change in the
engine design.
"The fuclizcr consists of small sup
Elementary carbuetor and a burning
chamber where the gas from the little
carburetor is burned. The chamber Is
situated in the intake manifold When
the gas enters it is ignited by regula-
tion spark plug and passes into the
fresh charge going from the carburet-
or to the cylinders. The heat Of the
burnt gas changes the wet, poorly car
bureted mixture to dry vapor. which
explodes with full efficiency when 1t
is touched off by the spark in the
cylinder.
"The appliance causes the entire
charge to explode, doing away with car
bombing, because the kerosene and
similar less volatile matter is burned.
Also, it prevents dilution of the oil
in the crank case. Another advantage
is that the engine, being supplied with
a heated charge instantly on cranking,
is ready for the high gear work. regard
less of the weather."
II consider this the most important
announcement that has been made in
the automotive industry In the last
few years." saws Lee J. Eastman, pres
ident Of the Packard Motor Car Com
pany of New York, in commenting on
the invention.

Report Aas 1t Lewis Will
Have New Racing Mount

1t Is rumored that Dave Lewis will
appear at the wheel Of new and sem
sational contender for automobile rae
ing championship honors before the
summer is over.
Since 1902, when he drove a White
steamer at Los Angeles, the career Of
Lewis has been spectacular. His ex-
ploits with Lozier, Stutz, Fiat, Peugot
and Premier cars fill many pages of
automobile racing history. In 1913 he
captured all worlds track records from
one to 100 miles at Sheepshead Bay
with an eight-cylinder Deusenberg. He
also held the one hour record, which
was made with the same car.
The last appearance Of Lewis was
speedway, Spec where he drove the stock
Essex, which set a new worlds long
distance endurance record by covering
3,037 miles in fifty hours.

too far, az it might become confusing.
In the electric system there must be a
complete circuit to have the current
flow. If there is wire to any device
from the battery, there must be wire
or other conductor leading back again.
The necessity for the return circuit Is
not apparent in the case Of water; how
ever, there Is reurn water circuit
through the general supply. This might
be compared to the grounded wire cleo
trio system, where the return current
is made through the auto frame to the
battery
If you will take tho diagram in your
instruction book as a guide, and trace
each circuit and then go out to the
garage and find the wires on the car,
you will have a better working knowl-
edge Of how the thing works than by
any other method. It Is not to be ex-
pected that the novice will master the
starting motor and generator right off
the bat, or the magnetic or interrupter
box, or the coil, with it's complications.
Better let an expert attend to these
But If you familiarize yourself with
the wiring system and realize that nine
tenths of the troubles come from loose
connections at terminals, starved bat
terry, broken wires or broken insulation
that leaks current. and from dirty con-
tact points in switch or distributor box,
you will be able to run down most Of
your probable troubles.
Where to Hunt Trouble
= Remember that If there is no supply
in the storage battery you cannot get
current to the lights or other devices.
If everything goes wrong. suspect the
battery and its wiring, but if the en-
gine runs and the lights do not work,
look between the switch and lamps. BY
elimination usually, the trouble narrows
down to single wire, or, perhaps, to
one loose connection. If ignition is ir-
regular examine the spark plugs and
see If they need cleaning, first Of all;
next the wiring.
Every hour spent with your wiring
diagram, studying the system on your
car, and in going over the car diagram
in hand, will pay you we'll when touring
days come again. And remember that
the diagram Is part Of the car equip
ment, always to be- carried.

It takes quite an electrician to care for
this part Of the car, but one may learn
by study: As usual, the start Is with

followed the hints given in a previous
article you have been studying this.
Compared to Water System
It long has been the practice to COM
pare electricity to water in explaining
It's action, and this analogy may be car
ried out in the case OF the cars electric
system, 50 forget the "nerves" for q
while.
First We have a tank for storing
water. This compares with the storage
battery Of the car, in which 1t may
be assumed we store electricity. From
the tank we may have pipe, with
valve in it, connected to a water motor.
If the valve Is opened the water
turns the motor and If this be connected
to machinery 1t will be operated. Like
wise in the electric system wire may
be run from the battery through a
switch (valve) to an electric motor.
Closing the switch sets the electric cur
rent flowing, turns over the motor and
II 1t be geared to gas engine 1t will
revolvc the crankshaft This is popu-
larly called self-starter; really 1t is
an electric cranker.
If the water motor were thus con-
nected to gas engine to start it and
pump water back into the tank. In
the auto the engine. when started, op-
crates an electric generator-electrici
ty pump-which replenishes the storage
battery. Within limits this is a self
contained system.
To prevent too much water going to
the tank and overfowing Il, float
might be rugged to close the valve at
certain tank level In the electric
system a current regulator usually Is
installed to prevent overcharging the
battery.
We might desire to take water from
the tank TO washstand, bath, sink or
elsewhere, done easily by spur pipes,
each having valve at the point where
the water is to be used. In the car,
when we want current for the lights.
ignition, horn and other devices, wires
are attached to the battery through the
switch to the devices. In practice one
wire runs to the switch and branches
run from there, just as in a water sys-
tenn a main pipe is run with spur pipes
70 the several outlets In the motor
car the switchbox carries all the wires
for the entire electric system, except
the starter wires which run to the pedal
or starter button.
Meters in System
If we desire to know how much water
Is being pumped and the pressure,
suitable meter is installed In the auto
there is usually an ammeter, or amrere
meter, to show the amount Of current
passing. and volt meter to indicate
the pressure.
