RIGHT STEERING
MOST NEGLECTED.
Many Accidents Caused by Ina
biIity Of Driver to Turn
Wheels Rapidly.

tBy ERWIN GREER, President of Greer
College Of Automotive Engineering. Chi
cago.)
1t usually has been the rule to Jolly
the person who devoted long hours
to learn driving under an Instructor.
This practice Of kidding" Is one that
human nature succumbs to; hence the
individual starts out alone on the con-
gested highway, Understanding the
need for proper knowledge, and joins
the ranks Of our careless, maniac
drivers, endangering not only them
selves, but the lives and property Of
others. The mere knowledge Of how
to start and stop a car serves only as
preliminary training. 1t Is from this
point that the greatest care should
be exercised. to learn the proper way
to handle your car at all times.
Steering Most Neglected.
Probably the most neglected part in
the training Of drivers is that of steer
Ing great number Of accidents are
caused through inability to turn the
wheels rapidly enough In either direc-
tion, at the same time signaling to
the oncoming traffic, as to what course
you intend taking.
Assume you are driving a left drive
car. In making right-hand turn, the
left arm is extended up and out, as a
signal, at least rs feet prior to the
corner. (This applies to all signals,
except in emergencies.) The wheel
should be grasped high. with the right
hano, and turned to the right, as the
corner Is reached-the speed of the
car being lessened at the same time.
The left hand should remain at the
signal position until the corner is
rounded, than it falls high on the
wheel, and straightens out the course
OF your car, then right-hand relinquish-
ing its hold when the left hand takes
control
This method completes your turn
in two movements. whereas the ordi-
nary way of using both hands, after
a hurried signal, taking two or three
holds on the wheel to accomplish
turn, never allows you full conf
dence of control and makes more
work for the driver.
Left Turn Signal.
For the left turn the signal is that
the left arm shall be extended straight
out and held there until the car has
taken its complete turn. This time
the right hand is crossed over and I'M
der the wheel and pulled down to
the left as the corner is reached. To
straighten out the course of your car
following a left turn, let go of the
wheel and take new grip and pull
down to the right, as in right-hand
turn. Note that the left hand plays
no part in left turn, except as
signal, yet you have perfect control
of your car.
Steering is knack, not bull
strength. Once acquired and your
driving pleasure increases greatly.
In downtown traffic. cars should be
guided with the right hand, keeping
the left ready for immediate use as
a signal Remember that you can do
nothing with two hands on the steer
ing wheel that cannot be accom-
plished with one. thereby leaving the
other In reserve as a signal. Try
these suggestions out and it may aid
you greatly, regardless of your past
experience.

Rats Prefer a Balanced
Ration to Poisoned Bait

American rats are inicky. Rat
poisoning campaigns often fall be-
cause the house owner does not give
his intended victims q sufficient va
riety Of edlbles." says Otis Wade, ro-
dent control specialist In the Knnsns
agricultural college. "A starved rat
will eat anything. from a strip of lead
pipe TO an old boot. but a well-fed
Kansas rodent is more particular"
Wade declares.
Wade divides rat bait into three
ciasses-meat foods, vegetable foods,
and cereals.
In mixing bats the successful pols-
mel selects a food from each Of the
three classes and mixes 1t with BARI
um carbonate, a tasteless and odor-
less poisoning agent. In the proper

Of each variety on a strip Of paper so
that the rat, travelling along his run
way, finds a three-course dinner laid
for him. Usually one OF the courses
appeals to his taste and the rat popu-
lotion is reduced by one.

Fresh Air, Sunlight, Make Homes Healthful

When the daring few began TO throw
their window shades up and their shut

predicted the destruction Of the home.

Troublesome Weeds Are
Difficult to Eradicate

Sour docks and burdocks are among
our most troublesome weeds, and very
hard to eradicate after once they have
gotten a foothold. A stitch In time
certainly saves nine with these two
weeds. but 1t is important that thia
stitch be a good one. The one best
implement with which to cut these
weeds is a good sharp spade. They
must be cut well below the %sprouting
line on the roots or they are up again
with the next few days.
While the corn is still small you
should spade out all those in the corn
field. Those along the fences must be
cut before they go TO seed, else the
soil will again become infested with
them and they will be perpetuated.
These docks being cut o could much

Increase Needed
in Supply of Rye
In Many Localities Crop
VIII Give Better Yields and
More Food Than Wheat.

Prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture) s
From al agricultural point of view
there Is need of a considerable per
nanent increase In the production OF
rye in this country, says the United
States Department of Agriculture. In
many localities rye will give better
Yields and more food per acre than
wheat. In other localities not now
growing any bread grain rye viii give
good yields where wheat would not
succeed. There is much sandy land In
he southern part OF the Cotton belt
that would produce rye successfully,
but where climatic and soil conditions
make wheat growing Improbable. In
Other parts Of the country also the
we crop will be more successful than
wheat on thin, sandy, and u soils.
Harder Than Wheat.
Rye is also harder than wheat. The
rye belt Of the United States extends
across the country about 300 miles
north of the winter wheat belt. In the
present spring-wheat area of the
northern Mississippi valley winter
wheat generally Will not survive the
winter unless giver protection. Rye
is the only winter grain hardy enough
TO withstand these severe conditions. A
fall-sown crop is desired, as Ii dis
tributes labor In both the seedIpg and
harvesting seasons. The rye Is largely
'stutbled in"-that Is, sown In the stub
Bile Of other small graIn-ln the fall
and In harvest before the other grains
are ready. In the winter-wheat areas
generally rye can be sown later than
wheat, thus enlarging farm activities.
The risk In growing rye is generally
somewhat less than II is with wheat,
particularly spring wheat. Rust and
hot weather do not affect II so I'M
favorably, and Hessian fly and other
Insect pests are not so liable to cause
damage. Besides the growing OF rye
for grain there Is a large use of II as
cover and green manure. Its
general adaptabIlity and hardness
make 1t particularly desirable for this
purpose. especially when grown In
combination with hardy legumes, like
hairy yetch. Much land In the eastern
is being enriched by use of
this combination of cover crops.
Demand Increases Production.
Whenever there Is a marked de-
for rye Its production In the
United States is largely increased. A
Increase occurred during the
war, following an enlarged foreign

,trictions on the use Of wheat In this
country. This increased production
las persisted. largely on account OF
maintaining foreign demand, the rye
