Plan Field Day
AT Station On
Fertility Crops

Arrangements have been complet-
ed by the agricultural extension
service for field day of farmers
and ranchers interested in green
manure crops and legnmes,- at the
University of California station at
Meloland next Tuesday from $3.50
a. NJ. to 12 noon.
About go different summer le-
gumes, including cowpeas, soy
beans, velvet beans, mong beans,
and many others will be observed
and studied. The principal summer
green manure crop now being used
by farmers is the Brabham cow
pea, and this is showing up to good
advantage at the station. There
are several varieties of beans grow
ing there which should be of consia-
cradle interest to ranchers interest
ed in trying some new money MAX
ing crop. The difficulty until now
has been to get a bean that would
grow here, and at the same time
have a ready market value. Farm
ers, especially hog-ra isers, interest
ed in growing a summer pasture
now will have a change to study
several which give remarkable
promise.
One of the features to be serv-
ed will be the methods of growing
green manure crops between rows of

body of the principal stock casualty
companies Of the country.
Thirty-three Of the 4S states make
no attempt whatever to exercise di-
rect supervision over the great bulk
Of their highway users, while Al
states make no attempt to determine
the fitness of these citizens to use
the highway. OF the seven states
remaining, the supervision Of motor
vehicle operators is of varying strin-
gency so that there are actually on
ly four or five states in the Union
which observe the strict degree of
supervision which should be the un-
iversal rule.
Connecticut, Maryland and Mass
achusetts have strict supervisory
Laws on motor vehicles, and opera
tors with this result: Since 1919,
automobile registration throughout
the country has increased 63 per
cent; in these three states it has in
creased 80 per cent. During this
period automobile fatalities through
out the country increased 40 per cent
but in these three states they have
actually fallen off per cent. Had
this latter percentage obtained
throughout the country at large
there would have been 9700 auto
mobile deaths in 1922, instead of
$4,000. But even Maryland off
cials are exceedingly lax in punish
ing reckless drivers or those who
operate ears while drunk.

Worm gear troubles all fall under
one heading and that is misahgn'
ment. In order to operate proper

trail over or under the worm wheel
and the axis Of the worm must be
exactly at right angles to the axis
of the worm wheel. In the hour
glass type, the longitudinal center
of the worm must also stand direct
" over or under the center Of the
worm wheel. In the straight type,
a slight error in this point is per
missible.
In somc eases, the worm is mount

other cases. below it. In top mount

the worm, while in bottom mounted
worms, it is taken at the front.
When the worm is mounted on
ball bearings, the thrust, whether
forward or backward, is taken prin-
cipally by the rear bearing only,
the front bearing being free to
float and carry the radial load only.
The worm is given Il slight end play
to allow for expansion which takes
place when the car is III motion.

Motorists Urged
70 Aid Tn Saving
ColEntry's Woods

Ninety per cent, of the forest
fires in the United States are due
to carelessness of those who enter
them. And the number of people
who annually visit the country S
forest preserves is increasing at the
rate of 25 per cent Il ye"r. Last
year more than $4,000 acres of forest
were burned over in the state of
Maine alone.
The above are a few of the facts
discovered by the Motorists > League
for Countryside Preservation, which
has been organized to educate the
motoring public TO sense of the
responsibility which is his as he
tours from camp site to camp site,
from state to state,
While one Of the aims of the
League is to get motorists to clean
up as they go; never to leave a
stopping place the worse for hay
ing stopped there, the menace of
fire resulting from smoldering camp
fires is not being overlooked III the
organization 5 Blans. A
Clifford Sloan in an article in
Motor-The National Magazine of
Motoring-reports that of the 633
forest fires started in the Adiron
dacks over 400 were actually traced
to camp fires left smoldering and
that the auto camper was respon-
sible in nearly every case.
''There is in the work Of the
Motorists League for Countryside
Preservation, Mayor George A.
Hoverter of Harrisburg, Pa, wrote,
"'the spirit of spontaneous inter
est that nothing can stop. 1t pro
poses to deal with a real problem,
of which the public is entirely
aware, but which it has never taken
steps to correct.
.'The number of forest fires
started throughout last year by
unfhinIling motorists, is only one
of the conditions which prove the
vital quality of the work now be-
ing undertaken by the League.

The rapid increase in the number
of Visitors to forest parks is H.
lustrated by the record of those
who motored - the National Fo-
rests last year. OF the 5,356,Oo0
visitors it is estimated that over 10
per cent came by automobile. An

DRILLING LARGE HOLES

When drilling large holes in
sheet metal, the common practice IS
to scribe Il circle of the required
diameter, and then, after drilling a
series of holes in the circumsference,
the metal between is broken away.
This not only consumes lot OF
time, but frequently gives unsatls-
factory results. A much better
method is to use reamer. This
reamcr can easily be made by the
average ear owner. A piece OF
round steel is filed to a taper and
is then cut away ON one side to
slightly past the center. In use, a
small hole is first drilled and then
enlarged with the reamer.

FLOOR MAT FROM TUBES

To convert a few inner tuDeS
into a serviceable floor mat requires
but a short time and n little labor.
The old tubes are first cut into
strips by wetting the rubber and
cutting with an old razor blade.
The strips are then woven or inter
laced with each other, basket fash
ion. The end strips are made double
width and turned over. These strips
should be cemented in place. A row
of brass rivets, placed around the
edges, improves the appearance
greatly. in addition to making the
mat stronger.

This general, the story says, left
Villa several years ago and has
since lived at Belleza, near Parral,
a village which suffered from
Villa raid.
The correspondent further states
that while only seven men took part
in the actual shooting, ten members
of the assassin band were stationed
at La Baborcita, five kilometers
from Parral, with two horses each,
and that % more men with two
horses each were stationed at Rom
cesyalles, 10 kilometers away. The
band united at this latter point
then split into small bands and dis
appeared in the state of Durango.

WINDING A SPRING

: To wind a spring in a latino IS y
simple matter; to wind it without a
lathe is also a simple matter if one
knows how. Select bolt having
threads about corresponding to the
pitch desired in the spring. Hold
the head of the bolt firmly in a
wise, pinch one end of the wire
tight and wind the other end around
the bolt. The threads of The bolt
will guide the wire so that an
equally spaced spring will be form

KEEP BATTERY CHARGED

A reader asks if it is advisable
TO keep battery fully charged when
not in use for two months. Yes,
either by letting the motor run if
the battery is connected with g
generator, or from an outside source
with the proper equipment 1t will
probably require charging about
once every month. The solution
should always be maintained by
adding distilled or rain water to
keep the plates properly covered
and to prevent sulphation.

KEEPING THE CLUTCH DIS
ENGAGED

It is necessary to depress The
clutch pedal when applying dress
ing or cleaning the friction sur
faces. This usually means that one
must discngage the clutch while
the other applies the dressing or
treatment. TO simplify the oper-
alton, it is a good plan to force
down the pedal by means Of u stick
pressed against the front seat and
the pedal.

TOO MUCH SMOKE

Installation of new rings will
not overcome smoking if the pls-
tons are loose and the cylinders

rings will overcome the trouble. BE
