Hand Crank Time

This is the time of year to crank
the engine a few times by hand each
morning before switching on the ig-
milton and using the starter. If one
wants to prolong the life of the bat
terry at least g. year.
This is the hardest season for
batteries. They last considerably
longer when not subjected to excess
sive over charging or discharging.
By cranking the engine manually on
cool mornings the CONCEALED oil is
stirred up a little, the bearings are
limbered up and raw gas Is sucked
up into the cylinders when the
choke is out. A few minutes later
when the motorist enters the car.

g. The quickest and easiest way
to take squeaks out of springs is to
squirt over their ends or edges a
little penetrating lubricant. There
are a number of such oils on the
market.
4. Some manufacturers caution
against lubricating springs because
the tendency now is to use thinner
leaves and to rely upon the friction
between them to absorb shocks.

not serve to slow it down or stop
it are: clutch brake and brakes on

l. All sets of springs are not bolt
ed through the center. Some have
a small projection on the bottom of
each spring leaf which fits into a
notch or depression on the top of
the leaf beneath it. In still
newer plan, a triple curve at the
center of the spring leaves keeps
them in alignment.

Sweet Potato Experiment
e.. to be Continued This
Year

The growing of sweet potatoe:
in the state of Washington is in.
creasing both in acreage and in.
terest. On account Of this the ex.
pertinent station at Prosser is not
only repeating the sweet potato
work carried on at the station the
past year but is going into other
ongles and phases of the problems
which affect the commercial grow
ing Of this new crop.
The same methods Of irrigation
will be tried again. Several new
varieties will be added to those
which have been grown previously
All varieties will be grown under
uniform conditions and observa-
lions as to yield, quality, and re.
sistance to diseases.
The new phases which the sta
ton will delve into this year, are
the growing of potatoes in ridges
as compared to flat culture;. and
lifting the vines as compared to
non-lifting. By lifting is meant
pulling the rooted runners loose
from their mornings. At some 9TH
er station this practice results in
increased results while other sta.
tions report the reverse. Vine cut.

plants are bein ggrown to deter

Curing the tubers preparatory

will be taken up. The moisture

These crates will then be watched

SPRAYED APPLES CARRY
LITTLE ARSENIC

In view of the large amount Of
publicity which has followed the
arsenical scare in England, it will
be interesting to know the results
of some analyses made with refer
ence to the amount Of arsenic car
ried by apples.
DIR. Frank T. Shut, Dominion
chemist at Ottawa, Canada, COLI
lected 43 samples of apples from
various sections of Canada. Exam
nation was made Of the arsenical
content of skin, calyx and stalk,
as it is generally agreed that the
flesh of an apple is free from
arsenic and that only ponderab!e
amounts may be present in the
skin. ~a @'@
In 1903 the royal commission on
arsenical poisoning placed the lin
it of arsenic trioxide for arsenical
poisoning at .01 grain per pound.
The medical dose of arsenic triox-
ide is 1-64 to Lie of a grain.
DR.. Shut found that about half

count of abundant June rains Of
benefit to pastures. This is the
period of lowest monthly cost OF
milk production.
Pasture Improvement is inter-
esting more dairymen each year.
In one survey only "a per cent Of
the cows freshened from Septem-
Der to December, while 45 per cent
were spring freshened. Many sue
cessful dairyman plan to produce
greater percentage of their total
milk at the time of highest prices
which is usually during the fall
and winter.
POULTRY Prices for eggs
have held firmer during the past
month than was expected. Storage
holdings are lower than last year
because of the loss to operators
last year. The shortage in storage
certainly indicates a firm situation
and prices should now gradually
work upward.
The demand for live birds is
now Being entirely met and has
become quite regular marked with
light storage. Broilers are in great
demand, taking the place of heav-
Ter birds, and are selling at higher
prices than last year.
Successful poultrymen are at
tempting to lengthen the culling
period from July and August to
October, thus preventing the usual
glut Of meat during the summer
time. By giving the best care and
closest attention, culling early
moulters only, they are planning
to carry their flocks as far into
the fall as possible, thus prevent
ing decreased production when
prices are good.

Far-sighted Washington farm

WHEAT-The nations wheat
crop promises to be much larger
than in 1925, though the crop is
very uneven due to deficient mois-
twe. Reserves in America and
Europe are low, and shipments of
wheat to Europe continue, further
depicting our low reserve.
The Washington wheat crop has
been reduced by unseasonably hot,
dry weather, with hot north winds,
and unusually late frosts in the
Big Bend section. Wonderful June
rains have improved wheat stands
and It cool weather prevails, the
