Three weeks ago the Citizens Committee Of Johns
;own. Pa. published an advertisement entitled WE
PROTEST. In thot advertisement we denounced the
violence and intimidation which morked the orgdn-
ling tactics Of the c. l. O. in Jamestown. We stated as
opinion thot it ws the duty of the Government to
protect the individual citizen in his legal rights. and
we uppedled to Americans everywhere to help us
make our views heard.
The response wds overwhelming. A total Of $4,000
received in over 5000 individual contributions.
Even more encouraging to us wus the tuct that repre-
sentative citizens from 70 other communities agreed to
meet with us in Johnstown to discuss q peuceoble
solution to the present industrial strife.

District Gets 1892
From Sale OF Power

With river conditions more fa,-
yorable than usual during the
month OF June, the Priest Rapids
power plant of the irrigation dist
riot received S1,392.O2 from the
sale of excess power last month.
This is Slightly under the figure of
s1,675.46, received in May for the
surplus energy.
Power sales for the year to date
are poorer than usual, due to the
fact that river conditions were very
unfavorable until May, but officials
of the district hope that if the
river drops off slowly during the
coming months, sale of power dur,
ing the latter part of the year may
bring the average UP to that of
previous seasons.

Machines Should Be in
Condition for Service

The efficient farmer like the pro-
gressive manufacturer often re-
places old machinery with new,
which does better work and with
less labor, even though the older
equipment is not entirely worn out.
Because of superior design, better
quality materials and improved
construction the capacity of the new
machines may be so increased or
their dependability and freedom
from breakdown may be improved
so much that they will pay for them
selves in only few seasons, warns
a writer in the Wisconsin Agricul-
turist.
However, as long as older ma
chinery is being used, every effort
should be made to keep it in re-
pair and the farm operator who de-
sires to get his work done on time
next summer will take steps at once
to see that his machines are call
set and ready to go' for the busy
season just ahead. Field break
downs and delays while waiting
for replacement parts, are expen-
sive and often subject ripening
crops to grave weather hazards.
There are not the extra charges for
kilograms and express for early or
ders that may be required with rush
shipments. Where overhauling by
mechanics is needed, more time
and attention may be given than la
ter on when emergency calls for
service are frequent.

Load Tractor to
It's Full Limit
Labor Efficiency Demands
Careful Planning by
the Farmer.
BY E. r. Gross. Professor of Agricultural
Engineering. New Jersey College OF

BY e. r. Cross Professor of Agricultural
New SsTu5eg ge roaese Of
The most economical way to run
a tractor is to load it full, just
little less than the engine will pos
sibly carry, leaving enough margin
of power to carry the machine and
it's load over difficult places.
Although tractor should not be
overloaded, a full load results in
more work per man-hour of opera
ton, more work per gallon of fuel
and proportionally less wear and
tear on the machine.
It is wasteful to allow tractor
operator to spend day discing a
field and then a second day rolling
or smoothing it when the tractor
would easily pull both machines,
hitched in tandem, and do the two
operations in one day. Labor eff
cheney demands better planning.
The tractor is so complicated a
machine that it consumes consider
able power just to keep itself going.
This lost power is only slightly in
ClcdSSo DIS lOdO ID doOC0. Lie 111c-
chine therefore becomes more and
more efficient as the load is stepped
up.
The same principle may be ap-
piled to the wear on the tractor.
There is a definite amount of wear
on the moving parts when the ma
chine is running idle. This represents
a loss to which is added the wear Of
carrying the load. Hence, the great
er the load the less the ratio Of
wear to work done. These two
principles of fuel consumed n d
wear will apply as long as the trac-
tor is not overloaded.
The farmer should plan his field
and belt operations to use as nearly
as possible the full power of the
tractor. Devising multiple bitches
to perform two or three operations
at one time and using machines
of a size suited to the power of the
tractor aid materially in economic
ally organizing farming operations.

Ale-Wiyes in England

Centuries ago, we read of Alreck,
of Hordoland, choosing Geirhild as
his wife on account of her skill in
brewing "noppy" ale. Ale-wives
held a monopoly in the beer trade

Pearson's London Weekly Magazine,
and so brisk was their trade that
they were forbidden to sell ale on

Drought-S tunted Sudan

Sudan grass and grain sorghums
are among the most valuable for
age crops, but these plants may
develop prussic acid when growth
is interfered with in any way by
drought, trampling, willing, or FROST
ing, says Hoard's Dairyman. This
is also true of wild cherry and ar
rowgrass. Under such conditions
there is a chemical reaction be-
tween two harmless substances, a
glucoside and engine. However,
any Of the forage crops may be
cut, cured, and then fed without
danger of prussic acid poisoning.
