Ohio Farmers Can Save
Tenth OF Motor Fuels

Ohio's fleet of farm tractors,
trucks and cars consumes almost
100000, 900 gallons of fuel a year
and agricultural engineers at
Ohio State University believe
50,O00,00 gallons or more OF that
total could be saved, if the pow
er tools and vehicles were put IN
first class operating condition
by carburetor and ignition ad-
justments. ,
The engineers say motor fuel
consumption now is running so
close to total production that
temporary shortages are likely
to occur in some farming areas
this summer, due as much to
distribution troubles as to actual
shortage of supply. Farmers
have been given first call on the
fuel supply by national officials
but the fuel supply situation and
the advantage to be gained by
cutting operating costs should in
duce farmers to check their
tractors, trucks and cars.
Tractors are built to operate
most efficiently when the fue.
mixture is correct and when the
mixture inside the cylinders is
fired at the right time. The fue
MIXTURE can be adjusted by
warming the tractor by operat
ing it at a normal belt load. The
needle valve should be turned
until the motor starts to mis-.
and then turned back JUS
enough to allow the engine t
run smoothly.
Spark plugs should be checked
after each 200 hours of use
Time can be saved if spare Sc
of plugs is placed in the moto
while the other set is taken to
shop for cleaning and testing
The plug electrodes should b.
adjusted while the plugs are ou
for cleaning. Slow sparks o
misses waste fuel rapidly an
cut down the amount of poWe
delivered by the motor.
Fuel wasted by idling mOto
can be saved without any othe
adjustment than changing tn
habits of the operator In time
of short fuel supply, the moto
should be cut off any time tn
machine is idle for, more than
minute. Any obstruction in tn
carburetor air intake will ir
crease fuel consumption and CT
down motor power, and dirt &c
ing into the engine hastens tn
time when major repairs will b
necessary

OF NODle county anu MoilIOe Lildt
the latter county has taken up
the challenge.
The family is now residing at
present approximately 2R miles
west of Summerfield in small
rented house a short distance
from their farm where they have
been provided with temporary
necessities by neighbors.
The direct appeal for assistance
from Chairman Wells is as fol-
lows.
This loss is a distinct blow to
Mr.. and Mrs. Mallett, who are
the parents of two children,
Mary Katherine, age l6, and Les
ter Lee, age 3. They own a 54
acre farm located in Seneca
township. It will be necessary to
rebuild a house and they will
need great deal of assistance to
do so.
Monroe County Chapter Am
erican Red Cross is asking for
voluntary contributions of mon
ey, materials, food, household
articles, clothing, anything that
may be used by the family in
their rehabilitation effort.
Naturally the chief need is for
a building fund. An appeal is
made to anyone who can make
contribution on behalf of the
family to mail or bring same tt
the Red Cross office in Monroe
Bank building, Woodsfield.
1t is the policy of Red Cross t(
make an appeal for funds only
during the March fund cam
p! paign. However only portion
over so percent of the funds nee
essary to carry on chapter pro
gram was raised this year. Sen
eca township, the location of thi
disaster, raised exactly $500 to
ward the fund goal last March.
The Red Cross has been call
ed upon to assist in this case Th
chapter will contribute to tn
limit from available funds, bu
it is impossible to offer a suit
able portion of assistance.
Therefore we find it necessar
to ask for voluntary contribu
tions on behalf of this family i
our midst who needs help at thi
time.
