Oil Company Throws Light on Carbon 

 Deposits 



ir llu" amount of air enlcriiig the car- 

 Ijiiiftfir is not siitlicient to insure com- 

 plete combustion, we have what is 

 known as a rich mixture, says a bulle- 

 tin on carbon deposit and its causes, 

 issued by the Standard Oil Company. 

 This is a slow-burning mixture rather 

 than an explosive one and will cause 

 excessive carbon deposit. For exam- 

 ple, if the wick of an oil burning lamp 

 is tuined too high, loo much oil will be 

 siphoned thrffugh the wick for the 

 amount of air entering the lamp to 

 form complete combustion. The lamp 

 will smoke, and soot, which is carbon, 

 will be deposited on the chimney. This 

 is exactly what happens in the cylin- 

 ders of a gas engine. The products of 

 incomplete Cfimbustion of the gasoline 

 deposit a certain amount of carbon in 

 the combustion chamber. This carbtin 

 deposit will builil up very much nuire 

 ((uickly if it has a bed to build up on, 

 such as would be producctl by a lubri- 

 cating oil which when exposed to the 

 heat of explosion would leave a gunmiv 

 deposit. Lieut. G. S. Bryan, L'.S.N., has 

 abl\ and correctly pointed out in his 

 article on "Motor Cylinder Lubricatifin" 

 that lubricating oils manufactured from 

 paralline base crudes deposit more car- 

 bon than lubricating oils manufactured 

 from asphallic base crudes. The reason 

 for this is that paralline base crudes 

 contain paralline wax, which cannot be 

 entirely eliminated from llie manufac- 

 turcfi ijroduct.

Inspector De Sellem of Yakima is one of tin- 

 very active insjiectors who nutans what he 

 says He has already sent out notices ad- 

 vising fruitgrowers that the laws for spraying 

 will he enforced during the coming season. 

 If every inspector ditl as good work as 

 De Sellem fruitgrowers would have fewer pests 

 and diseases, secure cleaner crops and make 

 more nuiney. 



Wcuafctiec fruitgrowers held a meeting in 

 Ihc Coniiucrcial Club rooms during February,

 llieiii lo sell for easli dining the year inifi. II 

 was stated that a special invitation will be 

 given to dealers who are cash buyers to come
