The distance from Watson Brothers ShowroomS on West Washing ton street to Tempe was made in 10 min utes flat. Upon reaching the hill. two of the party remained at the top to insure free passage of the car up the hill, unobstructed by any cars seeking to go down as the width of the roadway is such that cars may pass each other only at certain places
 Stationing the big touring car on the bridge at the foot of the hill, the signal, AIS we'll" was flashed to the driver and his passengers. three in number, and the car started on high gear from a standing start rounded the upper curve and was on its way for the real test Onward and upward, dropping into the deep trenches dug across the road for the water to escape from the roadway. bouncing over the high rocks and the steep steps, spanning the dips and lunches, the great car wended its way toward the top. In spite of the taped and without being tied down with snubbers or shock absorbers withstood the strain magnificently. Never once did the motor weaken as it lugged along with its muffler booming. and within seven minute from the start at the bridge, two miles below, the big car rolled over the top. still in high gear.
 Not satisfied with this one per formance, the car was put through the test seven times, never boiling. although the day was hot and the wind bore down the hill briskly
 E. R. West of the Paige factory, speaking of the performance said : At no time were we bothered with motor heating.

FISH CREEK HILL HGHCEAR NEMESIS SURRENDERS TO PAIGE

Fish Creek Hill, in all its rugged ness, has fallen to the wiles of the automobile engineer. Ever since this magnificent piece of goat trail has been neglected by the road builder, motorists have been forced to "ds" it on intermediate sear-that is- when they were not crawling over it in low.
 1t remained for Paige Six -66 seven passenstr touring car to nego- tiate this two mile hill on high gear all the way. Just to prove that the stunt was easy for the Paige, the ear was put over the hill in high gear seven times The accompanying pictures give faint conception of the lay of the land.

Have you pulled Fish Creek on high gear within the last two years Don't crowd, gents! Take your time! If you haven't, just run out there and try your little oP rip shorter on that modest incline, being careful to leave her "in high" About the time you reach the first ditch "built to let water cross the road) you get right sudden impulse to grab hold of that gear lever and yank it back into low Lucky for you if you do, un- less you have car equipped with real springs. Those ditches are the best little spring g-breakers ever devised by any garage man. They hit the spot!
 We don't care to go on record that a garage man cut those miniature Grand Canyons across the road, but Whoever did had no con- ception of the>hardship he worked upon the average motor car.
 Fish Creek Hill, although averaging only about nine per cent grade, has many sharp turns throughout it's entire length of two miles. Carved out of the side of wall of solid rock all the way, it has been, and always will be hard road to put or keep in shape. The problem of hewing water ditches out of solid rock and tunneling the road in countless places to let the water through, will call for the expenditure of thousands of dollars. For few months at least, Fish Creek Hill is likely to remain as 1t is. And it will there fore serve as a demonstration ground for everybody who thinks it is an easy stunt to pull the hill on high gear.
 Hearing through various and divers ways that the new Paige Six-66 models had knocked hill climbing records all over the country into a cooked hat, Watson Brothers, Paige dis tributors for the state of Arizona, began to wonder whether any hills existed within the confines of this rugged domain which would test out the power of the car they handle Their first thought was that it might be necessary to construct a hill somewhere near Phoenix where the car might be given good test. However, the idea was soon banished as being too expensive proposition, and the boys began to give up hope of an opportunity of seeing what the big car would do.
 However, the opportunity soon came. Some wise owl who had unsuccessfully attempted to pull the Fish Creek Hill on high gear, sug- gested that they run the car out there and tackle it. He even offered to bet little jack that the car couldn't make it, and he insisted so strongly that Tom Watson took his money reluctantly and agreed to stage hill climb the next Sunday.
 Leaving Phoenix Sunday morning at 10 o'clock, the Paige Six-66, driven by T. w. Watson, took the trail to Fish Creek. Accom- panying Watson were Grady Watson, Paul Ceilings of The Republican; E. R. West, Paige factory service man; l.. Michner, R. E. Dar IT,

About Eight Per Cent Of Po1Uer
 Actually Used

According to Charlie Pottberg, only about one-twelfth of the power gen erated in the combustion chamber of the average automobile really pushes the car ahead. The remainder is lost before the actual driving force reaches the rear wheels.
 The great loss is in the heat dis sipated in the cooling water. Engin- eers estimate this at 35 per cent Another 35 per cent goes off in direct radiation and in the exhaust gases. The exhaust pipe and muffler use up per cent. Motor friction, per cent Wind resistance. per cent. Trans mission, 3 per cent. Tire resistance per cent.
 Eight per cent of the original power. therefore, actually propels the machine.

HISTORIC NEW YORK REGION
Vicinity Of Village Of FIshkiIi Was for
Some Time Scene Of Revolution
ary Activities.

We're you to spin along the post road
from New York to Albany-the same
old post road that was built in the
time Of the French and Indian wars
upon the line of the old Indian trail
you would pass through the most his
toric part Of this region, about mile
from the village Of Fishkill.
On account Of its situation, in a
fertile plain protected by surrounding
hills, Fishkill was chosen for large
barracks for Revolutionary soldiers,
officers headquarters and supply de-
pot: and. while the British occupied
New York, the government headquar-
ters for printing and provisioning
were also there. The sword that
Washington himself carried was made
in the village. which, ut that time, con-
tanned about fifty houses.
1t was in the Van Wyck house,
wrongly called the Wharton house in
Cooper's story, "The Spy" that Har-
vey Birch, who was in real life young
shoemaker named Enoch Crosby, had
his trial. In the meadow below the
house lie buried scores of Revolution
ary soldiers. Across the road from the
burial field were the barracks. -

Southern gardens begin to look
seedy about June 10. gardens in the
Middle states section are in the height
OF their glory, and the New England
gardens are just getting well started.
1t seems to be foregone conclusion
on the part Of most persons through
out the Southern states that southern
gardens can be grown only In the
spring and in the fall. with few
chance hardy crops during the winter.
The farmer Of the middle section
plants his spring garden, then gets
busy with farm crops, and very little
further attention is given the garden,

en-. In the New England states and parts
Of the Northwest where the grow
ing season is quite short only one crop
Of most vegetables can be grown. In

COST OF PRODUCTION VARIES
Specialists Point Out FaIIaey Of Con-
sidsrino Average as Basis
for Figuring.

The fact that there is a wide varia-
ton on Individual farms in the cost
Of producing any product has been
substantiated by recent cost surveys
conducted by specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Because of this variation, the special
its point out, 1t Is fallacy to consider
the average Us representing the cost
of production. For example, the aver
age cost Of wheat per bushel on the
4S1 farms studied by the specialists
last year was $2.51, but more than
SO per cent Of the farmers concerned
produced wheat at a cost above this
figure, ranging up to an extreme Of
$500 per bushel. Similarly the aver
age cost Of cotton for the S42 farms
studied was approximately % cents
per pound, yet almost 60 per cent Of
the growers had costs above this aver
age.
The department now gives the re-
suits Of cost studies In the form Of
frequency tables in order to show the
proportion of a product that is pro-
duced Mt or below given cost and
to call attention to the Importance Of
bulk-line cost rather than average
cost In relation to price.

standards of management on ten
farms selected by specialists Of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture in the region mentioned, and
the results are embodied in Farmers
Bulletin 07s, which may be had free

The bulletin shows that the average
yield of corn for the state is $3.50
bushels an acre, while on the ten
selected farms it is $3.50 bushels; the
average wheat yield for the state
Is 1S bushels and for the ten farms

farms that grew oats produced an
average Of 45 bushels an acre as COM

ty. the specialists say, cannot be

,luce more than any other similar area.
To get maximum production, however.
It Is necessary to keep the land busy
all the time. This can be done two
ways; first by companion cropping.
and, second, by following one crop
with another or successive planting.
There are number Of crops that
lend themselves to companion crop
ping. For example. where onion sets
are planted in rows, say 18 inches be-
tween the rows, a row of radishes,
spinach, or lettuce can be drilled be-
tween the rows of onions and be of
the ground before the onions need the
space. Spinach, radishes, early beets.
or turnips can be planted between car
rots, parsnips, and satisfy. A crop Of
snap beans can frequently be grown
between the rows of tomatoes. Radish
seeds may often be planted alongside
row of peas, the, radishes being
pulled and out of the way before the
peas begin to climb the trellis or
brush provided for their support or
to spread over the ground. A little
later in the season sweet corn or late
cabbage can be planted between the
rows of early Irish potatoes and make
considerable Of start before the
Irish potatoes are dug.
In the middle section, early peas
may be followed by late cabbage, late
potatoes, late snap beans, beets, or
turnips. Early Irish potatoes may be
followed by turnips, late snap beans,
or by late sweet corn.
Plan Fall Gardens.
Fall gardens should in no case be
overlooked, especially from the Middle
states southwark. Paintings Of prac-
tlcally all the early spring vegetables
may be made from July to September,
according to locality, and be brought
to maturity before early autumn
frosts. By proper attention to the gar
den, fresh vegetables may be had
through a period Of about 10 months
Of the year In the extreme south and
for about months in the middle sec
tion. The season for the New Eng
land and northwestern sections is
necessarily much more limited, but
even here the efficiency Of garden
can be greatly increased by careful
study and attention to the matter Of
companion cropping and successive
paintings Of certain vegetables.
