Sl S AR e e ADVERTISEMENTS oh, makes little difference. For all the feed that can be consumed in the state there will be the saving of the freight to the eastern terminal and back—an item of tremendous importance to a state with a fast developing dairy in- dustry. There is a big advantage in having a large storage close at hand in the state to prevent congestion within the state, to serve the mills within the state, and thus encourage that indus- try to get quicker action in hahdling damp and soft grain. Located within the state, such a terminal will be in better position to put a brand of distinction upon the product of the state, than were it crowded in among’'a score of other terminals at a general market. It can be a unit by itself with a distinctive product, yet at the same time its product can be on the table of the general market or any market. Located within the state, at Grand TForks, as the first terminal will be, it has all the wheat in the northern part of the state, at least, behind it, and commands all the markets at once, the mills of the Twin Cities, as well as the lake terminals. This is now, and will be more so, a tremendous advantage. It is only a matter of a short time when grain will be loaded at the head of the lakes in ocean-going vessels. No terminal located in the Twin Cities could handle grain from North Dakota for export, nor could a terminal at the head of the lakes handle such grain for the Twin Cities or southern Minne- sota mills. The location at Grand Forks commands both equally well, giving a better and more general mar- ket. It eliminates the see-saw be- tween these two points, giving the shippers the advantage of the best market. There are, of course, many inland terminals, that is, terminals away from water transportation or large NATION America’s Foremost Liberal Weekly All true Americans—all be- lievers in actual government of the people, by the people and for the people—should read THE NATION regularly during these trying times of reconstruction.

Omaha was a termi- nal before it had any mills of conse- quence, and even now the local con- sumption of grain is only a small part of the grain handled. Several large terminals are scattered over the prairie sections of western Canada. Tractor Hints The following list of common trac- tor engine troubles is arranged with the simplest causes placed first: Engine fails to start: (1) No gaso- line in carburetor—may be due to valves being shut off, kerosene in float chamber from last operation, float valve sticking or empty fuel tank. (2) Improper mixture—may be due to needle valve being open or closed too far or to auxiliary air valve being stuck open. (3) Improper priming— too much gasoline may wash oil seal on cylinders, wait a few seconds after priming before turning engine over. (4) No spark—wire from battery may be off or loose, switch may not be turned on or magneto trip off, spark plug may be wet, broken or dirty, magneto or battery may be weak or out of time, points on spark plug may need adjusting. (5) Poor compres- sion—valves may not be timed proper- ly, inlet or exhaust valves may not be sealed or may be warped or gummed, piston ring may be broken or stuck in piston groove, spark plug may be loose or broken, cylinder head gasket loose or lubricating film broken. Engine stops or misses explosions: Fuel feed irregular—may be due to dirt or waste in fuel feed line, gover- nor sticking or throttle loose on stem, water in carburetor, fuel throttled too closely, fuel tank nearly empty. (2) Faulty ignition—may be due to dirt, water or oil in magneto or coil con- tacts, .vibrator on coil or magneto sticking, loose wire or loose connec- tion, ignition system water soaked. (3) Engine overheated—may be due to cooling water circulating too slowly, or not enough in radiator, fan not running, engine water jackets crusted or dirty, faulty lubrication or oil feed pipe broken or crank case empty. (4) Improper mixture—may be due to aux- iliary air valve sticking, mixture too lean (back firing), mixture too rich (missing), intake valve out of time. Loss of power: (1) Poor lubrica- tion—may be due to oil feed pipe to cylinder broken or stopped, mechani- cal lubricator not working, fuel in splash system oil, lubricator or crank case oil too low, inferior or incorrect grade of oil. (2) Carburetor or mix- ture—may be due to too rich or too lean mixture, float valve sticking open, auxiliary air valve sticking, kerosene turned on too soon, govemor gummed, throttle loose on stem. : (3) Engine. overheated—see No. 3 in paragraph “Engine stops or misses explosmns 44 (4) Poor compression—see No. 5 in paragraph “Engine fails to start.” Excessive fuel consumption: (1) Mixture too rich.
