RAG As huR WRENCH

When the hub cap is to be removed,
and there is no hub wrench in the tool
kit, strong rag may be found useful.
At least, before the job is given up as
hopeless, this stunt could be tried,
for it has already been done with sue
cess. Wrap the rag tightly around the
hub cap. twist it down well and get a
good firm hold. Then press down on
a wheel spoke with your foot, so that
the wheel will turn in a clockwise
direction. The trick of loosening the
cap this way lies in the firmness with
which theIag is held to it,

BOIL WEEVIL IS
 BUSY THIS SEASON
Expert Forecast Is of Crop 10 to 15 Per Cent Larger
 Than in 1921

Boil weeviis arc reported plentiful, fields grassy and weather unfavor- able to cotton, but crop 10 to 15 per cent larger than last year is ex- pected by the American Steel and Wire company based on reports from It's experts in the field. Gem eral crop conditions are fair to very good. The report for this week says:
 "The past week has brought con- siderable improvement In the crop conditions of the corn and wheat region. Drought conditions have been definitely broken in home in- stances, slight damage resulting from too much water.
 Tt Is too wet in tho northeastern states which has done some damage to hay and shocked grain. The po- tato crop also has suffered.
 Cotton is having a hard time of it due to boil weevil, grassy fields and unsuitable weather. Considering everything the crop will probably be 10 to 15 per cent greater than last year, as reports indicate that the probable yield per acre will closely approximate last years yield, but the acreage this year Is larger.
 "Oats will probably average me- dium crop. Some wheat threshing is being done. Yield reports show from 5 to 20 bushels per acre. Spring wheat in the producing states Is reported as fair to good with no more than the usual amount of black rust.
 Potatoes range from fair to good. late potatoes particularly being re- ported in good shape. With favor able weather the crop promises to be considerably larger than last year.
 Corn although somewhat late has made good progress. It Is well cul- tivated and Is rapidly approaching the tesseling stage. In the corn belt, although the stalks are short, with favorable weather the crop promises to be an exceedingly large one.
 Livestock in a prime physical condition. Apples and fruits in gen eral promise to be abundant"
