COLORED TIRES
LATEST STYLE
Method of Uniting Rubber
to Match Cars Devised.

Bp HEA Service
DETROIT, Feb. 14.-In this day
Of color harmony in automobiles.
where the upholstery must match
the woodwork and the paint job
must be perfect blending of col
ors, the only eyesore detracting
from the ensemble has been the
tire.
But we're now to have colored
tires which will match car bodies,
according TO a rubber manufacturer
here.
Rubber manufacturers and dye
men have been working together
for years 10 find a suitable color
ing for rubber which would not pack
and which would prove satisfactory
in all cases.
Inorganic colors have been used
successfully for years. but their use
In rubber tires Is not practical.
The present method Of coloring
has not been made public, but it is
understood that the colorS are
passed through colloid mill which
reduces the particles TO a minute
size.
These tiny particles of color are
treated with rubber latex and sub
sequently milled in such a manner
that the latex forms a protective
film around each particle, and so
prevents spottiness.

UPWARD TREND

Increased Production and
Sales Expected.

Detailed reports from factories
and dealers indicate an expected
upward trend in production and
sales Of automobiles.
The Dodge Brothers Corporation,
for instance. announces that there
has been a steady increase in en-
ployment at its plants and that in
December total shipments of pass
enger cars exceeded November
shipments by 1922 per cent.
The Graham-Paige Motors Cor
poration has increased its produc-
ton schedule and taken on more
employees.
A total of 2,130 plant workers now
are employed at the Detroit factory
and the body plant at Wayne, rep
resenting an increase Of 400 men
during January
Cord production has reached
twenty-five front-drive cars daily
and will be increased to fifty cars
this month, according to r. H.
Faulkner, president. Sales by
dealers to consumers in the New
York zone Of the Buick Motor Com
pany during January were 903
cars, as compared with 1872 a

decreases, combined with the low
est storage holdings of any years,
leads the turkey expert to predict
that the choice birds will bring
good prices on the holiday mar
kets.
"The turkey movement from the
Northwest for the Thanksgiving
trade this year is expected to be
relatively light, principally be-
cause the crop in the west is from
two to four weeks later than usual.
Failure of coast hatcheries to fill
early orders for poults has held
responsible for. the lateness of the
crop in Idaho and elsewhere. The
hatcheries were in turn, delayed
for the lateness of the crop in
Idaho and elsewhere. The hatch
cries were in turn delayed in get
ting eggs.
The above article was clipped
from the Northwest Daily Product
News one day last week. This
gives information as to the turkey
crop this year and should be a
guide to growers as to about what
the market may be expected to be
this year.

FEDERAL GRADES SPECIFY
DRESSED TURKEY STYLES

What the well-dressed Thanks
giving or Christmas turkey will
wear this year as it comes from
the market ready for final prepar-
alton in the kitchen is indicated in
the schedule Of Tentative United
States Standards and Grades for
Dressed Turkeys, style sheet
which the Bureau of. Agricultural
Economies has issued to guide the
work of the Federal turkey grad
-ers this fall. These turkey graders
are the men who are authorized to
affix grade tags to the birds. The
four grades are u. S. Special; u.
S. Prime, u. S. Choice, and u. S..
Commercial. The birds are also
classified as young or old turkeys.
A young hen turkey that grades
u. s. Prime must satisfy strict
quality requirements. The specifi-
cations for such q bird are: young
and soft-meated female bird, with
well-flesheh breast, and with en-
tire carcass well covered with fat.
Must be well bleed, well dressed,
with breast practically free Of pin
feathers, and only few scattered
pin feathers over the remainder
Of carcass. Crop must be empty.
Only very slight flesh or skin
bruises, abrasions, or dlscolora-
lions permitted, with breast pract-
ically free of such defects. Slight
ly dented breast bones( not to ex.
coed one-half inch) permitted, but
no crooked breasts that would in
terfere with the slicing OF the
meat or other deformities allowed.
Broken wings above the wing tips
| or broken legs not permitted. "A
disjointed leg or wing permitted
| If only slightly bruised. Birds with
crops properly removed and seven
up may be included in this grade.
| Must be dry picked or semi-scald-
ed and dry packed"
Where a dozen birds are packed
| in q box, the weight OF the light
est and heaviest birls should not
vary by more than 3 pounds.

izer such as 3-1O-1O;5-6-8 or 5-8-8
has been used then it might be
possible to omit the phosphate this
year or at least put on only a
light application as a means of
economy in the fertilizer program.
Ii thes cover crop, however,
poor, we feel that the nitrogen
should be maintained unless the
trees are showing too vigorous a
growth. Good normal growth for
Winesaps, Romes and Jonathans
should be about 8 to 10 inches on
most of the terminal growth, while
on the Delicious it may run from
10 to IL inches. The condition of
the tree should always be the
measure of the amount of fertiliz-
er that should applied and individ-
ual trees in the orchard should
receive particular nitrate fertiliz-
ers in inverse proportion to the
growth which they are making.
The tree which is making good
growth should be stimulated into
growth by heavy application. The
use of phosphate may be more
nearly uniform over the entire or
chard and the same may be true
of potash where it is to be used.
The fertilizer which is to be
used depends upon the cost per
unit of plant food, purchase be-
ing made of materials from which
one can get the greatest value.
Anyone can figure these values
merely multiplying the percent
age of plant by 20 and divide this
into the price per ton and this will
give you the cost per pound Of the
plant food being purchased. Let
US take ammonium sulphate for
instance, the analysis Of this shows
that it contains 20.5 nitrogen. Null
tiply this by 20 and one gets 410.
If this material is selling at $45
per ton this would make the worth
per unit of nitrogen then 10.97c
or practically lie per pound.
We believe when farmers come
to purchasing fertilizers, as out
lined above, that they will make
a closer study of the results Of the
various elements and by being
able to see much more different
results, will make their fertilizer
program much more of an item in
crop production.
