You will notice that by these simple
connections you have accounted for all

General Connection Rules.
The general rule for the connection
Of these springs IS to connect each

Z, of Jack is connected with the same
terminal of rheostat Re- as spring E of
jack s. while spring u of jack g Is con

course, is connected with the + terminal
of it's respective socket.
When there is no plug in any of the

FRIDAY, APRIL Ill. 1924

The general Agricultural Outlook
for 1924 indicates that farmers are
undertaking a normal production
program, according to survey just
completed by the Bureau of Agricul-
tural Economics, United States De-
partment Of Agriculture. But it IS
apparent that their operations will
still be attended by the difficulties OF
high wages and other high costs,
lack of workers, and the general dis
parity between the prices of farm
and city products.
Domestic demand for agricultural
products is at high level. And foreign
markets seem likely, on the Whole,
to maintain about the present level
of demand for American cotton, pork
wheat and, tobacco.
But the situation this season with
respect to labor, farm machinery,
fertilizer, credit and other cost items
entering into production is not such
as to favor any expansion in produc-
ton.
The wheat situation shows some
tendency toward improvement. s.
Notwithstanding that there will
apparently be fewer animals in the
country to be fed next winter, corn
growers report intentions to increase
the acreage per cent. This increase
will largely replace wheat.
The dairy industry has expanded
to the point where gross domestic
production, in terms Of whole milk,
slightly exceeds gross domestic con-
sumption. Indications are that there
will be further increase in domest-
ic production in 1924. Foreign sur
plus production is likewise steadily
increasing.
Poultry production has expanded
RAPIDLY in recent years. And a furth-
err expansion is indicated in 1924. 1t
would appear that production is now
at a point where further profitable
expansion may be dependent, upon
continuation Of the present. high lev
Ell of demand.

BALLOON TIRES TO HELP
ROADS

The balloon tire is as yet too new
to tell it's own story, but some OF
the reasons urged against 1t by us
opponents do not seem warranted by
facts. Misled, perhaps. by the IN
doubted fact that the. penumatlc tlre
caused great destruction to the tnen
common ype of hard road. the water
hound macadam, conservatives now
state that the. balloon tire with It's
greatly increased size OF wearing
surface, will cause damage to roads
of other than cement or brick sur
face. !,
This is not borne out by facts al
ready recorded of other wide tire
hearing surfaces. Heavy trucks
equipped with double wheels and tiat'
solid tires, do no damage to the sur
face of the highways they use,
whether that surface be oll-treated
or tar-impregnated stone, sand-slay,
shell, concrete, brick or cement. Road
damage done by such vehicles IS
from blows or pressure and not from
surface wear. It is, with the modern
road. almost always the weight or
howl which damages the road and
seldom or never the abrasion of the
surface. .
According to this, the balloon tire
should preserve rather than iniure
roads, since its lessened air pressure
increases the elasticity of the cush-
ion between the road and the weight.
and therefore decreases the force OF
any blow struck by the wheel.

GET YOUR SEED CORN
READY e

Getting seed corn ready to plant
is too important to be left until the
last minute. After the seed ears are
finally selected the irregular kernals
on the butts and tips of the ears
should be shelled off and discarded.
Hand Smelling is best.
Sometimes an ear will look all
right before Smelling but will have
large number of kernels with
damaged tips. Each ear Therefore
should be shelled separately and the
kernels inspected before mixing with

What a wonderful thing it would
be for the taxpayers if an honest-to-

from the hampering strings of pol
itics, could be carried on in every
department Of the government. 1t is
probable that such an investigation,
if the Investigators had the power
to hire and fire as occasion demand
ed. would result in annual savings TO
the taxpayers far in excess OF any
savings that may be hoped for as
a result of investigating private
business which is subject to private
competition and which must sink or
swim on efficiency in management.
