We smooth and polish parts to reduce fric tion. We put oil in our cars to avoid friction. But we can't got along without friction, just the same.

Winter comes blowing ani blus‘ 3 down from the North, and the first thing we know ha has spread ice and snow over our roads, and cur whole traction condition is changed. But automobiles are pretty well prepared these days to moot any conditions. All we have to do is to adjust ourselves to these changed circumstances. For instance, many skillful drivers start their cars in high gear on very slippery, icy streets. Ordinarily this would be a bad thing to do. But when our tires have to start us going on slippery ice or snow, starting in second or “high” is harmless and it does help to avoid spinning wheels, side slipping and BEGIN STOPPING difficulty in getting under way. If you haven't tried HERE . /< this after stopping at intersections, you may be sur prised to find out how much more quickly you get NOT started again. Only remember to engage the clutch HERE very slowly. — This business of starting in slippery weather can be quite a problem. But stopping is even more so. However, most good drivers agree on one method that they find quite satisfactory. First of all they begin to slow their cars down at quite a distance from where they want to stop. They press the brake lightly at first and release it almost at once. Then they press again and release quickly. By a scries of brief, moderate brake actions, instead of one continuous pressure, they gradually reduce speed and can usually stop without skidding. Many of the best drivers always make it a point not to disengage the clutch as soon as they apply their brakes, but to wait until the car has almost stopped. While this is their general practice, they say it is especially Important on slippery roads, as they claim it reduces the chances of skidding. But if we use this method there is one thing we must look out for. We have to remember that on a slippery sur face it is very easy to stall our engine by using our brakes when the clutch is still engaged. 8999* Outside of starting and stopping, most winter skid ding is at turns and curves. Many good drivers tell us that they treat every slippery curve or turn as though it were going to be a stop. In other words, they ap proach curves using the very same system of short, moderate brake actions. The result is that when they reach the curve they are going so slowly that they can actually give the engine a little gas and put some power in the wheels. With power turning the wheels, we are not so likely to skid. After all, the main thing to do about driving in slippery weather is just what we do about walking in slippery weather. We are all pretty careful about that. The first thing most of us do when we go out on a slippery morning is to put out one foot cautiously and get the feel of the surface to see how careful we have to be. The best drivers we know do practically the same thing with their cars. The first thing they do after they get started, is to teet the surface. They make sure that there are soil provides a most healthful con dition here for the highest class of poultry industry. One man can handle 2000 hens with a little help from his family In gathering and packing the eggs. A man and his wife, both active, with the aid of a hired man on half time, can handle 4800 laying hens. He keeps his hens until they are two and a half years old. The first laying of pullets is the most profit able. The second season is profit able only through the second winter and late spring. During the second summer the hens just about pay for their feed until sold off in the fall. He believes that this is an oppor tune time to go into the business as be believes that prices are destined to be higher for eggs, which will al low production on a more economic scale. The cost per dozen eggs he has found to vary from seven to eight cents to 12 or 13 cents with the sea sons. And while prices of eggs have varied from 11 to 24 cents a fair average is 17 cents per dozen. Recently the Reids have remodel- el their home adding a large base ment which is used for packing. Packing and cleaning eggs is an im portant part of the work. In addition to the poultry busi ness Mr. Reid has a large dairy barn and three silos, and milks 32 cows. The skimmed milk he feeds to hogs, and uses very little of it for chickens as milk brings flies and flies cause disease. His inten tion is to reduce the dairy output and increase the poultry product. He employs from two to three per sons besides his own work. AUTO ENGINES KEY UMATILLA TO CHEAP PLANES MAKE BIG H.H.S. PARTY WILL the has saved Umatilla county farmers more than $54,200 a year on interest alone, according to figures from the central office of the Farm Credit Administration in Washington. Over $2,291,000 of farm debts with interest rates that averaged 6.7 per cent a year have been re financed with long-term mortgage loans carrying interest rates of 5 per cent a year or less. The figures show that the local National Farm Loan Association has been a big factor in making these long-term mortgages available at low interest rates. The association guarantees loans to the Federal land bank. From May 1933, when the Farm Credit Administration was organ ized, to the end of last year, 250 Umatilla county farmers obtained $1,984,000 for the specific purpose of refinancing old debts. The Federal Land Bank made 176 first mortgage loans and the Land Bank Commissioner 215 loans. Many of the Commissioner’s loans were made on second mortgage security to farmers who also obtained first mortgage loans. Most land bank loans are endorsed by associations and advanced from funds obtained by selling farm loan bonds. The commissioner lends from funds pro vided by the Federal Government. As in the past, the Federal land banks are making loans only on first mortgage security, lending up to about one-half of the appraised normal value of the farm property. The Commissioner lends on second as well as first mortgage security in amounts up to 75 per cent of the value. The largest amount of a Commissioner loan to one farmer is $7,500. An act of Congress last summer temporarily reduced interest rates on all Federal land bank loans—old and new. Where land bank loans are made through National Farm Loan Associations, the rate is only 31 per cent for all interest payable in the year ending June 30, 1936, and 4 per cent a year in the two years following. This temporary reduc tion of interest rates on all Federal land bank loans is paid for by the.

Refinancing debts through Discover Two Standard Motors Farm Credit Administration Good for Flying. Washington.—Federal aviation ex perts, struggling for months to develop a model, low-priced plane for mass production, have found the key to their problem in automobile engines, it was learned. Extensive tests of two standard en gines used on popular-priced cars have proved successful and these motors will be recommended for widespread adop tion as plane engines. It was learned. Another is being installed in a plane and will arrive in Washington within three weeks. Already three model planes built for the Commerce department in its search for aircraft to retail below $1,000, have been delivered here. One Is the Wa terman tailless plane, another a Weick ship, resembling the Waterman in that it is a pusher type, but differing in that it has a tail, and the third a Curtiss- Wright coupe. Two more, now being put through final tests, will be delivered here soon. A third, an autogiro whose rotor blades can be folded back to convert the ship into an auto, will be completed early in February. The two undergoing tests are a Ham mond, pusher-type, low-winged mono- plane, built at Ypsilanti, Mich., and an open cockpit conventional monoplane, powered by an auto engine and con structed by the Arrowplane & Engine corporation, Lincoln, Neb. A third, In use at Marshall, Mo., contains an auto engine which passed all tests before installation in the plane.
