HEAVIER VEHICLES
REQUIRE MORE CARE
Trucks and Buses Are Under
Greater Strain-Harder
on Spark Plugs.

A loaded truck or bus travelling at 20
miles an hour employs in proportion
approximately as much power as does
an automobile travelling so or so miles
an hour. This is, of course, due to the
weight of the vehicle, according to an
engineering news bulletin, which gives
some interesting information concern
ing trucks and buses.
"A bus or truck" the bulletin says,
gives the same service as an automo-
bile in proportion to the ton miles and
is Just as efficient.
In many cases the bus or truck en-
CINE labors more IN month than an
automobile will in several years. This
is why heavy duty vehicles need more
frequent care and why they are hard
err on spark plugs.
while the average bus or truck OPP
orator may not be aware of it, abnor-
NAL driving conditions, such as con-
slant operation in hilly country, af-
feet spark plugs to such an extent that
for the best engine performance 1t is
necessary to use an entirely different
size plug than that ordinarily recon-
mended for the particular engine con-
cerned.
lone truck which had been deliver
ing heavy loads IN neighboring towns
located in a level country recently was
switched to a different route where
practically all of the highway was
through a hilly terrain. This created
! an abnormal driving condition for the
spark plugs, and they developed pre-
ignition. The difficulty was immedi-
ately corrected when the proper type
plugs we're installed to fit the abnormal
condition. The same type spark plugs
will not meet all driving conditions
satisfactorily any more than Summer
oil will function efficiently in the Win
ter. All reputable manufacturers in
clude in their line different type spark
plugs to meet different driving condi.
tons. Some bus and truck operator:
go SO far as to study their driving con.
ditions in order to obtain the plug bes
suited for their conditions, and which
enables them to get maximum eff.
cheney at the least cost. This is in
formation that should benefit all bu!
and truck drivers"

Younger cities, perhaps governed less
by habit, are making better provisions
for modern traffic than older centers OF
population, according to E. E. Duffy
highway educational writer.
Los Angeles, for instance, a member
of the younger generation OF cities, last
year established new record in street
building by completing and accepting
234 miles of first-class pavements ca
pable of economically carrying the ire
mendous burden that daily passes over
the ordinary city street.
That city now has LASS miles OF
pavements, of which 900 miles may be
said to be adequate for the automobile
in it's demand for stability and smooth
ness, more than is possessed by any
other city. This is only a small part
of Los Angeles street equipment. for
If all streets were unraveled they would
extend for 4.740 miles, nice Summer
tour.
All cities, even down to the village
of a few thousand possess startling

constitutes one of the best arguments
for the construction of street surfaces
that serve year in and year out with
out excessive repair bills.
II is both unfortunate and illogical
that cities progressive in almost every
respect permit the continuance of costly
repair work on such vast mileageS OF
inferior roadways as are in existence.
Numerous cities of Importance built
downtown streets 20 or SO years ago
for horse drawn vehicles. Notwith-
standing the complete change in the
type of traffic, these streets have been
repaired year after year, with little at
tempt at redesigning them for modern
needs. This Is not characteristic OF
large cities alone.
Street repair bills play hob" with
city budgets, and in many instances &C
count for excessive Indebtedness. Eff
Gent cities are proceeding on the prin-
ciple that 1t is best to replace high
cost inferior surfaces with high-type
pavements and to build new streets OF
stable material. Such action saves
money. provides greater comfort and
gives the taxpayer the pleaSurable feel
ing that he has bought something other
than the privilege of spending money
for repairs.
Not only are younger cities design
| ing street accommodations particularly
| for the automobile. but 1t is striking
| that subdivisions and newer sections OF
old cities are also recognizing that the
automobile is not hay-burning

UNIFORM AUTO LAW

Public Interest Is Vital to Prog

Says.

Success in the effort to establish
uniformity in motor laws both in State
and city throughout the country de-
ponds on the interest exhibited by the
public, according to Richard S. Arm
strong, representing the National Auto
mobile Chamber of Commerce, speaking
before the Maine Automobile Associa-
ton at Augusta, this week.
THE national conference on street
and highway safety perfected uni
form State motor vehicle law in 1926,
and has just issued model municipal
traffic ordnance" said Mr.. Armstrong.
Accordingly, the motorist now has a
standard which he can call to the at
tention of his local public officials.
I'm many communities the public
officials are already taking the leader
ship in seeking to modify local ordi-
nances where this is necessary. to con-
form with the standard in process of
adoption throughout the country. The
motoring public, especially as repre-
sented in motor clubs, will give en-
enlargement to such officials by heartily
approving of their activities in this
direction"

THE POTATO
SITUATION
Prepared by the Division of Farm
Management and Agricultural
Economies, University Farm
st. Paul, Minnesota.
Production.

PrOuuctlOn.
The 1928 potato crop will be, If
present forecasts are correct, the larg-
est crop ever produced. The Septem-
Der 1 forecast is 467,00O,OOO bushels.
The second largest crop was in 1929
with a production of 453,OOO,OO bush
els. The 1927 crop, 407, 100000 BUSH
els, was about normal. It appears
therefore that the 1928 crop is some
6O,OOO,OOO bushels greater than nor
NAL requirements. About 100000
bushels of the surplus occurs in the
81 late crop states. Three states in
the East and four states in the West
have smaller production this year
than in 1927. Most of the surplus is
in the North Central states. Since a
large amount of the increased produc-
ton occurs in states that are normal
ly deficit areas, producers in those
states having surplus will find it
somewhat more difficult to market
their crops.
There are indications that many po-
tatoes will be left undug. 1t is also
certain that potatoes are being graded
more closely this year than is usu-
ally the case. There will probably
be more potatoes used for livestock
feed or sold to starch-factories than
usual. These factors reduce the sup
ply of marketable stock. However,
reduction of the crop from these
causes is not likely to disturb greatly
the present market situation.
Price.
The foregoing summary of prOduc-
ton and other factors affecting the
supply of marketable stock makes it
apparent that prices ARE likely to be
very low throughout the season. Since
late spring and early, summer prices
have been falling; first, because there
was an exceptionally heavy movement
of old potatoes during May and June,
and, second, because the early crop
was very large. There has been con-
siderable delay in harvesting the
early crop, in certain sections, and
there has consequently been an over
tapping with the early marketings of
the late crop. This situation has
forced prices to a low point ear
lier than usually occurs in seasons of
large production. The United States
Department of Agriculture reports
that during the past 20 years prices
have declined until November and
December in the seven years of larg-
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1928-09-27

to 30 or IS pounds daily. Heavier
feeding than this results in milk and
butter of poor flavor and may cause
indigestion as we'll. It is suggested
that potatoes will more nearly replace
a part Of the silage in the dairy ra-
tion than part of the grain ration.
The individual farmer can easily
calculate the value Of potatoes as feed
from the above ratios by knowing the
value of grain. For example, if grain
is worth one cent per pound potatoes
would be worth from II to 20 cents
per cwt. If fed to hogs and about Is
cents per cwt. If fed to other live
stock. OF course if there is a large
amount of unmarketable potatoes on
hand any benefit gained from feeding
them is clear profit.
Conclusion.
Farmers this year should plan to
grade their potatoes very carefully
SO as to benefit by the better price
paid for best quality stock. Use the
culls and lower grades for feed, sell
them to starch factories or throw them
away. In any event prices will be
low, but it seems probable that a
larger total return for the whole crop
will be realized If the above practice
is followed than if attempts are made
to market the lower grades. This
would result in ruinous prices even
for the better grades of potatoes.

est crops. During five Of the largest
crop years the price did not advance
materially through the remainder OF
the season. In two years there was q
material rise in May and June, but
the price did not exceed the level pre-
vailing during the preceding August
and September. The Department ex-
have during other large crop years
unless something unforeseen happens
to- crop prospects. The prevailing
prices in the Minneapolis-St. Paul
market during the first few days of
September have been 60 to IS cents
per cwt. At local points 35 cents per
cwt. is not unusual.
With larger percentage than usu-
al of No. 2's and culls being left on
the farm there is some possibility
that No. 1 potatoes will command a
somewhat better price than the pres
ent market indicates. The extremely
low opening prices, due to the late
marketing of the early crop and the
size of that crop, would seem to war;
rant the conclusion that we are un-
likely to experiecne as large a price
decline during October and November
as is usual with large crops.
Grading.
Farmers this year should give in
creased attention to grading. 1t ap-
pears that Minnesota potatoes are
quoted on the Chicago market at from
Is to 20 cents per cwt. less than po-
tatoes from neighboring states. The
difference is due principally to diff
ferences in grading. If Minnesota po-
tatoes graded U. S. No. consistently
this differentiai would soon disappear.
With a heavy production of potatoes
in Minnesota, this year offers the
logical opportunity to encourage rigid
grading to establish reputation for
Minnesota potatoes and begin to put
Minnesota potatoes on a parity with
potatoes from other states.
Feeding.
The price of potatoes is so low this
year that farmers may well consider
the possibility of using the lower
quality potatoes for feed. Potatoes
can be fed to all classes of livestock
but they have their highest feeding
value for and are best suited to hogs.
Potatoes should be mixed with grain
as they are somewhat unpalatable
when fed alone. When fed to cattle,
sheep, or horses, it takes about 700
pounds of potatoes to equal 100 pounds
of grain. For hog feed potatoes are
better cooked. If cooked and mixed
with grain, about 500 to 600 pounds
will equal 100 pounds of grain.
The Division of Dairy Husbandry,
University of Minnesota, reports that
for dairy cattle potatoes have about
the same feeding value as ordinary
silage. About 20 to 25 pounds daily
of raw potatoes are all that can be
fed with advantage, but If the pota-
toes are cooked they may be fed up
