The RURAL. NEW-YORKER 
In the ingenious Ford power plant, 
the engine, transmission gears and, 
disc clutch are enclosed in the same 
case. One oil must meet the differ¬ 
ent requirements of all these parts, 
Veedol Medium is specially mads 
to do this. 
Protects your Ford against 
this abuse 
If poor oil or oil of wrong body is used, 
97 parts are damaged 
i 
UST as with the engine 
the most expensive 
in 
car, every moving part 
of the Ford engine must be 
perfectly lubricated. 
The Ford engine is a wonder¬ 
ful piece of mechanism, com¬ 
pact and accurately made, but, 
like any other finely adjusted 
machine, it requires absolutely 
correct lubrication to develop 
its fullest efficiency. 
Thousands of motorists and 
tractor owners have found that 90% of 
Ford engine troubles are caused by 
inferior oil. 
The hidden toll taken hy 
sediment in ordinary oil 
Ordinary oil breaks down under the ter¬ 
rific heat of the engine—200° to 1000°F. 
A great quantity of sediment forms 
which has no lubricating value, and 
which thins out the remaining oil. 
The] oil film is destroyed. Metal-to- 
metal contact results. Friction and wear 
begin. The engine over-heats. Bearings

Sediment formed after 
500 miles of running 
burn out. Carbon forms rapidly. 
Serious trouble inevitably follows. 
How Veedol reduces 
sediment 
Veedol reduces the amount of sedi¬ 
ment formed in the engine by 86%. 
Notice the sediment test at the left. 
Veedol is especially made to maintain 
proper lubrication. Common engine 
troubles are almost eliminated. Evap¬ 
oration is reduced between 30% and 
70% — giving high mileage per gallon 
of oil. 
Veedol Medium is especially recom¬ 
mended for Ford automobiles. Veedol 
Special Heavy is recommended by 
many Fordson Tractor and International 
Harvester Company dealers. 
Leading dealers have Veedol in stock. Every 
Veedol dealer has a chart which shows the cor¬ 
rect grade of Veedol for every car. 
The new 100-page Veedol book on scientific 
lubrication will save you many dollars and help 
you to keep your car running at minimum cost.

“On; of the chief causes of automobile engine troubles is cheap oil. The*motorist who drives up to a garage and takes 
any oil that is offered. Is measurably shortening the life of his car. By paying a little more for an oil of known 
quality, the average car owner can do away with a \large percentage of his engine repair bills.”

The Beautiful Hudson Valley; a Western 
N. Y. Grower Talks 
It is most befitting that one of the 
Winter meetings of the New York State 
Horticultural Society should be held in 
the Hudson Valley, which is a foremost 
fruit-raising section of an agricultural 
State. It is wonderfully favored by na¬ 
ture. The great river is its life. It 
furnishes drainage and also transporta¬ 
tion. It provides a short and direct haul 
to a great distributing center. New York 
City. There the fruit can he sent by 
land or hy sea. Add to this fertile soil, 
sufficient air drainage and the brains nec¬ 
essary to harness these forces of nature, 
and the future of the Hudson Valley is 
one of assured prosperity. It was, for 
all of these reasons, one of the first sec¬ 
tions of our country to go into commer¬ 
cial orcharding. One hundred years ago 
growers along the Hudson were shipping 
Summer and Fall varieties as well as 
Winter apples to New York City. They 
were shipped on the steamboats in straw- 
head barrels at $1 to $1.50. the barrel 
to be returned. At that period Western 
New York could do no shipping at all on 
account of the absence of transporta¬ 
tion facilities. 
The present fruit exhibit at the 
Poughkeepsie meeting bears glowing tes¬ 
timony to the statement that the Hudson 
River flows through one of the garden 
spots of the world. These New York 
State apples in color and perfectness vie 
with those of the Northwest, and in 
flavor we know they far excel. McIn¬ 
tosh and Baldwin were especially fine. 
These immigrai." from Canada and 
Connecticut have profited from the soil 
and climate of York State, and are 
recognized as naturalized citizens in good 
standing. 
Going to the eastern meeting from 
Western New York, and for the first 
time, I was impressed by the spirit 
of enthusiasm. It is a pleasure to get 
into a crowd who want to learn; who 
are eager, alert, interested; who believe 
in their profession; who know they know 
a little about their work but not all and 
want to learn more. It is a pleasure to 
be stopped in the lobby of the hotel and 
for 15 minutes at a time be held at at¬ 
tention by some one who wants to know 
how and what and why, and asks ques¬ 
tion after question about your work 
which is also his. It is a pleasure to 
meet a man from the big city at the foot 
of the river .and to learn that he has 
bought a farm, is running it, is living on 
it. not just because in that way he can 
make a living, but because he loves the 
work. 
Another enjoyable feature of the meet¬ 
ing was the frankness shown during dis¬ 
cussions. Much was said about tractors. 
Sometimes these discussions are void of 
benefit because one can hardly tell 
whether a wheel type or a track-layer is 
being discussed, and the maker’s name 
is buried in the dust stirred up by the 
wheels if it has wheels, but buried any¬ 
way. Here, on the contrary, the mem¬ 
bers were very willing to give the had 
as well as the good points, to give the 
name, to try to get somewhere. It was 
the same when other subjects came up. 
There was the same open-mindedness, 
the same great interest. It made one 
feel proud of his calling to be in the 
company of these men. Undoubtedly the 
Poughkeepsie meeting was a great edu¬ 
cational event. The members recognized 
it as such and were there to learn. 
At the open forum on Thursday even¬ 
ing the packing law was discussed. We 
all want a law which will result in a 
better pack, but it seemed to be the con¬ 
sensus of opinion that a new law now 
would result in confusion. For the time 
being it may be better to expend our en¬ 
ergy in more thoroughly enforcing the 
present law. 
The question of the policy of the so¬ 
ciety was also discussed. Shall we con¬ 
tinue this society as it is. and has been 
for so many years, a great educational 
organization? Admirable work has been 
accomplished. The purpose of teaching 
kept steadily in mind has brought our 
State well into the vanguard of agricul¬ 
ture. Every menace of bug. blight and 
disease has been conquered. Growing 
methods have been perfected and are 
well understood. Production has been 
increased and rendered more stable. But 
what about the disposition of our har¬ 
vested crops? Do our members need 
assistance in transportation and in mar¬ 
keting problems? This would mean a 
change in the policy of the society. It 
would mean raising the dues. Money 
would be needed to employ one or two 
men who would give all their time to the 
work. A man in Albany and one in 
Washington could be on the lookout for 
pernicious legislation which is as danger¬ 
ous to our business as uncorubated scab. 
When the new icing tariffs were pro¬ 
posed by the railroads last Summer we 
fruit-growers had no organization which 
was equipped to represent our interests 
A new one had to be formed, and it suc¬ 
ceeded in delivering its from a most un¬ 
fair tax. It is a question which should 
be well considered in the face of chang¬ 
ing business conditions. It might be 
well to take a referendum of the mem¬ 
bers. I am looking forward now to a 
trip next June through this wonderful 
valley. 1 want to meet these growers in 
their orchards, and observe their condi¬ 
tions and methods of culture which show 
such beautiful results. F, W. CORNWALL.
