Winchester, S.A.E. 1 3. Supervisor of Motor Vehicle i" Equipment, Standard Gil Company j of New Jersey I WOULD like to pass on to motor- 1 ^ ists just a few of the instructions ' we give operators of our own large lf fleet of motor vehicles. If they will 1 11 heed these major recommendations, which are based on an experience of j -, many years covering millions of ] j- miles of motor vehicle operation. , they will save themselves time, money and trouble. First, and foremost, be systematic ' in the care and lubrication of your : v car. This is the real secret of carcare. Neglect this and all other 1 s rules will be more or less valueless. 1 1, Use oils and greases of the recom- i d friended quality and grade ar.d in the , 0 recommended quantities. Keep your motor, transmission, brake mecluiu1 ism and rear axle clean. Keep your " steering system adjusted and in good working order, your tires in T Hated, your battery filled with dis- * It titled wfllflr* onH unnr -11? J "f?b e water connections and tire lug bolts r. tight. it Always repair lights, light wires 3, and broken springs. Don't fail to rey, place missing grease cnps and remember that "failure to lubricate lt your vehicle will be considered wilful neglect." These rules guide tne conduct of our thousands of drivers. y Their observance helps to keep our ie fleet operating costs down and adds io miles to the lives of our vehicles, a Quite obviously it will pay the averg age car owner to follow these rules in operating his own par, " ' " '"'*3 ?:-T~- - ~ wmumn,.

Harvesting the annua! crop, \vh -uns into hundreds of thousands jushels in this State alone, is now rnportant industry, according to vV. Graebcr, extension forester State College. Only a few years ago great qu; lities of the nuts were allowed waste, but now they are being s in the shell and as cracked kerr in grocery, candy and drug stores most everywhere. In Yadkin County, where wal cracking has beccine a con,mux enterprise, one farmer reported sale of 16 barrels of kernels dur the past season. A Superior Co judge in Davidson County got bushels of nuts from one tree am farmer in Alleghany County sold $ worth of r.uts from his farm in i year. This is only an indication of walnut business in North Carol said Graeber. One farm co-operat organization bought 90,060 pounds outs last year. Soon after the nuts have fal "rovn the trees, they should be ga ered so that they may be hul while the husk is still partly gre jraeber pointed out. Old type c< shelters are often used for hull: he nuts. After they have dried in a sh? olace for two or three weeks, ruts are ready for cracking, stora >r seed. Cracking may be done w i hammer, although many prefer i of the commercial crackers which i xow on the market. A crackery operator told Grael hat with one hand machine he i jeen able to crack ten bushels luts a day over L period of ma weeks. FA KM QUESTION How should I feed a cow that ;oing dry?
