FORD CAR HAS
MANY REFINEMENTS

The Ford Motor Company, Detroit,
has just made public list of recent
Improvements in the mechanical feat
ures Of Ford cars.
Asserting that Ford cars are bet
ter today than they ever have been
before, the statement adds that fuel
consumption is lower; the engine is
even more efficient than formerly;
improvements in the springs and
steering apparatus insure easier rid
ing and driving qualities; a new head
lamp lens, which complies with all
state laws, improves the road light;
and that many other minor better
ments have been made.
Ford pistons and connecting rods
have been redesigned and are match
ed for weight before assembling into
motors. This reduces vibration and
gives the motor a quicker pickup.
The new pistons weight three-quart-
ers of a pound less than those form
erly used, A highly polished crank
shaft bearing surface also reduces
wear and, added to the piston and
connecting rod improvements, in
sures a smoother-running and better
balanced motor. The material used

WASH MILK CANS AS SOON
AS EMPTIED, SAYS DEPT

The milk can has the same relation
to the wholesale trade at the milk
bottle has to the retail trade, and it is
just as important that it be washed
Immediately after being emptied.
says the United States Department
Of Agriculture. Milk dealers have
appliances for washing and sterilizing
the cans, but this does not excuse the
buyer from rinsing them before they
become sour as a result of the multi
plication of bacteria in the film of
milk left in the can. Cans that be
come foul in this way are hard to
clean when they arrive at the plant.
Investigation shows that hotels,
restaurants, bakeries, and other plac-
es which buy milk in wholesale GUAM

CONSERVE MOISTURE,
GROW BIG CHERRIES
Cultivate Berry Patch to Save Waite
for More Growth.

Every gallon of water in the sol
until picking time means pounds o.
berries. Soil management in prope
fertilization and cultivation is hal.
the battle in successful production.
"May and June is the time when
cultivation counts" says NJ. d. Arm
strong, extension horticulturist of the
State College. "Moisture that is con
served early means crates of berrie
at harvest time. The berries, partc-
ularly the cane fruits ripen in the
dry season and the later the berry
the more necessary the conservation
of moisture. During the hot weathe
of the berry season the leaves are
vaporating the maximum amount OF
water and extra water is needed tc
fill out the berries. In the middle OF
the season the pickings often sudden
ly drop and the berries become small
Ter because the soil moisture is be-
coming exhausted.
"By the first of May the soil in the
berry patch should be in an excellent
condition, AMI the ground should have
been thoroughly broken up and mel
lowed down with the pillow or disc and
harrows. If the ground is level and
in good condition it is much easier to
keep a mulch on it during the sum-
mer.
"The dust mulch produced by thor
ough cultivation is the best means Of
holding the water. After the ground
is worked down in the spring a cult
walton of once a week during the dry
season is not too often. Each cutiva-
ton brings results in actual crates Of
berries. There is one exception in
the case of Strawberries, for during
the blossoming period if the ground
is very dusty a cultivation fills the
flowers with dust which sometimes
cause deformed Berries"

in quality. Another important i'm
provement in the truck chassis is the
adoption of cord tires as standard
equipment on the rear wheels.
The change made some time ago in
the seating arrangement of the tour
ing car has met with widespread APP
proval. By lowering the seats and al
tering the seat backs, greater COM
fort was added.
1t is pointed out that retail sales of
a million cars and trucks yearly, and
the consumption of raw and finished
products at a cost of approximately
one million dollars a day makes it
possible to sell Fords at their pres
ent low prices and at the same time
to produce a car of exceptionally high
quality.

DOUBLES FLOW. MILKS LONGER

When a purebred sire will double
the milk production of a herd, the
owner is almost sure to be purebred
enthusiast. James Carstairs of the
Upper Satsop, Grays Harbor county
comes under the classification accord
ing to the Montesano Vidette, which
gives the following story;
Mr.. Carstairs purchased his first
registered sire in 1910. He was well
pleased with the daughters of this
sire. Later he crossed breeds and
now confesses this is where he made
mistake. When his son, James Jr
returned from the war, he insisted
that they get back into the straight
Holstein breed.
"a certain old grade COW in my
herd,' said Mr.. Carstairs to county
agent Cowan of the Extension Ser
vice, never gave over 35 pounds of
milk at her best, while her daughter
the calf from a registered sire, has
given as high as rs pounds of milk in
day. Another COW never gave over
40 pounds of milk a day while hel
daughter from the same sire has Civ
en- as high as 60 pounds of milk per
day.
Pointing to his high grade herd of
cows, Mr.. Carstairs continued: "The
mothers of these cows never gave
over 30 or 35 pounds of milk per day
while these have MIXED all the way
from so to rs pounds per day at their
best. They not only milk more but
longer. The old cows would milk
from eight to nine months. while
these milk from ten to ten and a half
months. | have heard that 'the sire is
half the herd but I would say that he
is three-fourths of the herd"

GROWERS RECEIVE BETTER
PROFITS FROM WOOL POOLS

Realizing that there may be as
much as Is cents pound variation
in price in different grades of wool.
Texas growers last year took advant-
age of information regarding grades
and grading given them by extension
workers employed comparatively by
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture and the State College of Az
riculture, through the organization of
county and state pools. Through
these wool pools the growers were
enabled to attract larger buyers anG
obtain the higher prices offered for
well-graded wool in large quantities.
Since the formation of the state
pool in Texas last year, large GUAM
titles of graded wool and mohair hay
been sold directly to the mills, bring
ing greater profit to the grower
than when sold to local buyers ard
spectators. About $4,000 pounds
of wool and mohair were sold througa
the state pool. A large part of this
wool was graded by experts and
about 100000 pounds were sold at 23
to 30 cents a pound, this being 10
cents pound more than the average
for the country.
County pools for selling wool and
mohair were used in counties which
did not join in the state pool. The
wool sold in this way brought to
cents pound more than the price re-
ceived by the individual growers AMI
the profit amounted to about 10000.
In all, 100000 pounds of wool AMI
mohair grown in Texas were sold
through pools in 1921.
In North Carolina, where there was
no market for wool. the department
aided the farmers in 1921 in arrang-
ing to have 10000 pounds of wool

PLAN WHAT YOU WILL CAN
BEFORE YOU PLANT GARDEN

Radishes and lettuce usually pre-
dominate in the beginners garden,
probably because they come up early
and give the gardener ndisputablc
proof of his industry. Crisp young
radishes and lettuce are best eaten
fresh from the garden; whereas the
succulent string bean, the prolific to-
mato, the iron-rich spinach, to say
nothing of carrots, Swiss chard,
beets, peas, corn, asparagus, or Okla
will delight the palate and enrich the
diet many months after they MATURE
in the garden, if properly put up in
cans or jars and stored in the pantry.
says the United States Department
of Agriculture.
1t is not enough to enjoy these
vegetables when they are fresh.
From October to June the stora se
cellar and the corner grocery ar, like
ly to yield only potatoes, turnips, oil
carrots, cabbage, and onions, and the
use of these vegetables is likely tc
prove monotonous without occasional
reminders of the summer garden. It
may take little more time to plart
and cultivate two rows of beans OF
two dozen tomato plants instead o.
one, but if it furnishes these veoe-
tables for winter as we'll as summer
use, it is worth while.
The amount of each kind of vega-
table to be canned depends on the
preference of the household and the
garden must be planned accordingly.
A family of five-mother, father and
three children-or four adults-may
well use 70 pounds a week of fruits
and vegetables weighed fresh or I'M
cooked. This would be the equivalent
of such combination as 8 pounds
canned, pounds dried, and Al pounds
of fresh material. OF this allowance.
half, or 35 pounds week, may well
consist of fresh or canned vegetables.
Four pounds, or 2 quarts, of canned
vegetables are considered minimum
weekly allowance for the winter
months.

in the Ford crankshaft and the care
and precision in its manufacture
make it second to none.
The new Ford carburetor gives in
creased acceleration. Though not
radically different from the carbu-
rotor previously used, the new con-
struction improves the all-around
performance of the motor, giving it
a quicker pickup and a greater fex-
ibility of action.
The wiring system has been COM
pletely re-designed and while it costs
more to install than the old system, is
most efficient, proof of which is evil
denced by the fact that it affords a
fire insurance rate as low as the
higher priced cars on the market.
Many other changes have beer
made: A 16-in. steering wheel is
now standard equipment; Timken roll
Ter bearings are used in the front
wheels; one-piece pressed steel run
ning-board brackets insure body ri
gidity and eliminate vibration and
body noises; a dash weather. trough

minals or dash VIKINGS; the steering
mechanism has also been improved:

titles, do not always give proper at
tention to the containers. AS soon as
the cans are emptied they are place !
on the doorstep or left in warm
room until collected by the dealer.
They return to the plast teeming wit
bacteria, and the mechanical washers
will not always clean them thorough
ly. They must be soaked, washed by
hand with brush, and then sent to
the machine washer.
Consumers can help great deal in
making it easier to maintain a safe
milk supply. All that is needed is q
little care at the right time, says the
department.

HOTTEST PLACE ON EARTH
is DEATH VALLEY. CALF

Ten years of records obtained at
the United Weather Bureau substa-
ton at Greenland ranch in Deaf
Valley, Calf, indicate that this is
the hottest region in the United
States and probably on earth The
average of extreme maximum tenn
perature reported to the Unitel
States Department of Agriculture
since 1911 has been 1875 F. At
Greenland ranch temperatures of
1902 F. or higher occur almost daily
during June, July, and August. The
hottest month on record is July.
1917, when the mean temperature
was 1912 f. But the temperature
Of 1874 F observed on July 10, 1913,
is believed by meteorologists to be
the highest natural-air temperature
ever recorded with standard tested
thermometer exposed in the shade
under approved conditions.
Death Valley is from to 8 miles
wide and about 100 miles long, lying
between high mountain ranges. 1t is
the deepest depression in the United
States, some estimates placing its
lowest point at 337 feet below sea
leevl Greenland ranch is 17S feet
below sea level White people find
the midsummer heat intolerable, and
even the Indians go up the Panamint
range during July and August.
The normal annual precipitation in
Death Valley is less than 2 inches.
Successful agriculture cannot be
maintained on less than Is or 20
inches Of annual precipitation with
out the aid of irrigation. A group of
springs serve as the source of irriga-
tion-water supply for Greenland
ranch. The water has a temperature
of about 1907 F. and is only sufficient
to irrigate 70 acres. Four crops of
alfalfa are gathered each year. The
principal product of the ranch is
dressed meat, but experiments are
being made in raising poultry and in
growing vegetables, dates, citrus, and
deciduous fruits.
