Serve Car Owners Zfoday
I N the early days of automobile
contests, Barney Oldfield—out
to win every race—studied tires.
His consistent success led other
drivers to ask for tires constructed
to his specifications.
Twenty years of road and track
victories—with a steady and increas
ing demand for tires as he built them
—convinced Barney Oldfield that
these speed tests pointed the way to
a better tire for everyday use.
The enthusiastic reception of Old
field Cords by the public proved he
was right. Scores of the most
prominent dealers in the country—
and many thousands of car owners,
experienced in the use of tires—bear
witness by their decided preference
that Oldfield is doing a bigger and
better job of tire mal ing.
This volume, handled in an effec
tive way in every phase of manufac
ture and distribution, has resulted
in price quotations far below what
youM expect on tires known to be
better built and more enduring.
Practically every important race
event for three years has been won
on Oldfields. The Wichita Test Run
in which an entire set of Oldfield
Cords covered 34,525 miles on rough
roads proves the mettle of the Most
Trustworthy Tires Built in every
day driving.
The Master Driver and Tire
Builder has given the public a new
standard of tire wear and tire cost—
a true economy that every car owner
should know about.
Your Oldfield dealer has these
facts—talk to him.

GRADING POTATOES
BENEFITS FARMERS
(By J. A- Fossum, State Horticultur
al Inspector.)
The need of standardization of all
farm products is becoming more and
more apparent and farmers are realiz
that it is the only to get a
fair price for what they have to offer
to the consumer. Grains have been
standardized for a number of years,
and other products have followed suit,
Potatoes, one of the leading staple •
articles grown on the farm, are fin- j
ally getting in line with other pro
ducts. A U. S. standard has been
established, and one state after an
other has adopted it, and I believe
that in another year or two every
state in the Union will market pota
toes under the U. S. grading rules. It
is encouraging to learn that from all
parts of our state this year demands
for inspection are coming in to the
department of agriculture to the ex
tent of taxing the inspection service
of the division of horticulture to its
fullest capacity.
One of the four grades established,
U. S. No. 1, is the main commercial
grade, and ail growers should make
it a point not to put up anything else
except where there is a call for fancy.
Ü. S- No. 2 should under no consid
eration be placed upon the market
this season, when there is every in
dication that there will be a consid
erable surplus over and above what
x cah be consumed.
Aside from establishing a standard
and building up a reputation for the
product and the section where it is
produced, which has been proven be
yond & doubt, there is another thing
in connection with the grading of po
tatoes that may not have been given
the consideration that it should, and
that is
keeping the surplus off the
market Grading high, even a little
better than the standard eetabliabed r
will help wonderfully toward tha^ end, j
provided that all potatoes that do not I
come up to U. S. No. 1 are kept on
the farm. In this way the surplus
can be reduced or disposed of at home
för feeding livestock and the pro
ducer can get as much and more for
his No. 1 grade than what all his po
tatoes combined would bring if the
seconds and culls were marketed,
Every season buyers of low grade,
cheap potatoes call on the farmers
and there is always a great tempta
tion for the latter to sell what other
wise could only be used as food for
livestock; but if they will use a little
common sense they will realize that
by doing so they are cutting their own
throats, as for every 1 per cent low
grade potatoes marketed the price of
the better grades will drop 2 per cent
and more. Every farmer should place
a sign on his gate: "No cheap pota
toes for sale here. Only U. S. No. 1
and better- Bewar e of the dog.
It is up to the farmers themselves j
to get busy. Do not wait for the!
other fellow to do for you what you
can just as well do yourself. Each
individual farmer should appoint him
self a committee of one to interview
his neighbors with the object of form
ing potato grading associations and
bind themselves by ironclad rules not
to market anything lower than U. S.
No. 1, and whenever available call
on the farm bureau for help. The
latter should be only too willing to
lend a hand, and as it is an education
I feel confident that it will do so.
Each local organization should go far
ther than this. They should advertise
near and far what they are doing and
help to spread the idea like wildfire
from one end of the country to the
other. Every chamber of commerce
and every newspaper ought to enlist
»>
in this campaign, and especially sc ;
th e farm papers.
Recent legislation has made possi
ble for farmers to form interstate co
operative marketing organizations
without getting in conflict with the
Sherman antitrust law, for whic..
they can thank Senators Capper, Ken
yon and their associates of the farm
bloc in Congress, but no law can be
enacted to stop over-production or
glutting the markets with inferior
M J W «
products to the extent o g
the price, so that the pfroduc r g ts
little or nothing for his labor and in
vestment- This can only be accom- j
plished through concerted action by
the farmers themselves. \
meeting held
the 15th hist., may
The potato-growers'
at Chicago on
have adopted a plan that will work
out whereby the farmers may get
a fair return for their potato crop;
but in the meantime, instead of wait
ing to see what this outcome may be,
the potato-growers should take pre
liminary steps toward organization,
that in case a national organiza
tion is perfected it will not take all
winter to get it into working order.
Quick work is needed now.

STRANGE REASONING.
P who pose as expert
economists manifest a deplorable in
ability to put cause and effect to
gether. Here is a writer for the Pub
lic Ledger asserting that Canada
the host custom» of the United
States until the high rates o i the
emergency tariff cut down her pur
Some men
was
5ft
chases, etc. Our tariff was not on
sales to Canada, but on American
purchases from Canada. It costs
Canadians not one cent more to buy
from us now than before the emerg
ency tariff was enacted. The fact
the matter is that during the war
Canada was making huge purchases
from us to fill her war needs. Dur
ing the war she neglected everything
else for war necessities. For a short
time after the war she bought heav
ily from us to make up for the dis
arrangements of war abroad, as ev
ery sensible country does. The whole
world is buying less from us than it
did during and after the war, but the
emergency tariff had nothing to do
with that. The whole world is buy
ing less from us because it has less
reed to buy.
