No. 1—CURVES AND TURNS
Vo mattsi how export we may Ito as drivers, we are all apt to fall Into
IN habits of driving that don't quits measure up to whet we really know L
right
For instance, we all know that we ought to be careful about passln ;
And yet there possibly isn't one of ux
who hasn’t at one time or another, moved
over in the road to pass a car. and then
wondered if we would get around in time.
Now here's an interesting thing about
that When we try to pass a car that'j
going forty miles an hour, it's Just the
same as if we tried to pass a standing
styng of cars 126 feet long. In other words,
it’s like passing eipht cars parked bumper*
to-bumper in the road. If we try to pass
one going sixty, it's like trying to pass a
line of more than sixteen cars standing in
the road, and sixteen cars in a row will reach half a block. This is probably
a new idea to most of us. If we kept it in mind, we would never pass a car
unless we were sure that there were no oncoming cars for a good long
distance ahead.
But turning aside to pass is not the particular kind of turning that we
are interested in discussing here. What we are now
concerned with is taking curves and corners. From
time to time in these discussions we will find that
the came old laws of Nature will be involved. Fore-
most among them will be the laws of momentum, and
momentum plays the major part in going around
curves. Because momentum not only wants to keep
us going, but going in the same direction. When it is
trying to make us go straight instead of curving our
course, it operates under an assumed name, if you
please. For then we call it "centrifugal force."
Now of course we all know what centrifugal force
Is. We feel it when we go around curves. Highways
and railroads are banked at curves to offset centrifu-
gal force. Aviators bank their planes at turns by tip-
ping them with the controls. But even though we all know about centrifugal
force, few of us realize how powerful it is, and how much greater it gets the
faster we go.
A 3000-pound car making a turn of SOO-foot radius, has to overcome a
centrifugal force of only about 156 pounds at 20 miles an hour. But at 30 miles
an hour, that force has grown to 360 pounds, and at
60 it is nine times as great as at 20 . .. over fourteen
- - - - J
^"5 road! The only thing that keeps us on the road in the
first place is the friction between our tires and the
_i road. The minute the centrifugal force gets stronger
4c than the force of that friction, off the road we go.
S3 The trouble is that we often don’t realize how fast
^<5 we’re going. On road trips, for instance, after we
have driven at a certain speed for a long time, it
seems a small matter to increase our speed a few
miles an hour. Then after a while we may do the
same thing again. In other words, we keep putting
„ forward our basis of comparison till by-and-by we
*\ V X have lost our usual sense of how fast we are going.
Then, the first thing we know, we are face-to-face
with a turn or even half way around it and we feel Old Man Centrifugal
Force trying to push us off the road.
So what do we do? We clamp down the brakes. It’s the only thing we
can do when we find we're going too fast. But just the same, approaching
that corner too fast has kept us from taking it as we should have liked to.
For if conditions permit, it is often desirable to increase speed as we go
around a curve. As long as our rear wheels are not being retarded, but are
actually pushing us around the curve, our*steering is effective and our car
Is under control.
The long and short of it is that we can't take Uberties with the laws of
momentum and centrifugal force. Man's speed laws may not always be
observed, but Nature’s speed laws always arel
an, especially when another car la approaching from the opposite direction.

A long time ago, probably in
the days when settlers were
few and land so plentiful that
when a man "wore out” a farm
he could move to a new country
and clear n<w land, there orig-
inated one of our common Am-
erican sayings, “Cheap as dirt.”
We still use the old saying
when we wish to express con-
tempt for a thing—to convey
the idea that something is mere
trash and so low in value that
it can be compared to nothing’
besides dirt itself.
Times have changed. There
is no longer land free for the
taking. Yet there are many of
us who still take the old'
"cheap as dirt” attitude toward
the land. 1

The Bogata News has corm-
pleted a quarter of a century
of service to the people of R<-d
River county and the publish-
er, H. L. Kimsey, launched the
first issue of the 26th year last
week by just doing his same
consistent, good job..of carry-
ing news and advertising mes-
sages to his subscribers.
President Roosevelt’s an-
nouncement that AAA is to be
permanent, together with the
overwhelming vote of farmers
to continue the com-hog pro-
gram, provide an interesting
picture of American agriculture
at home. These adjustments
of American corn and pork
productton to meet domestic re-
quirements do not greatly af-
fect Texas farmers, as Texas
cannot be considered either as
an important pork-producing
state or as a surplus corn
state. In both the?e important
farm products our farmers are
on a deficiency basis most of
the time. It is an entirely dif-
ferent story, however, with
cotton, Texas’ most important
farm product and its leading
export commodity. Adjust-
ment of cotton production to
domestic consumption would
play havoc with Texas’ long-
established foreign markets to
which the state annually in the
pre-Federal control era shipped
at least 90 per cent of its total
production. One is forced to
wonder whether those who in-
augurated the Bankhead law
limiting the sales of cotton to
a fixed quota would have gone
as far as they did if the South-
eastern cotton farmers’ mar-
kets had been in England, Ja-
pan or Germany instead of at
the mills located practically in
the cotton patch.
The facts as to the Texas ex-
port situation for cotton, wheat,
grain sorghums and other farm
products were clearly analyzed
recently before the Waco Ro-
tary Club by the agricultural
editor of The News. They
show that Texas, the Nation’s
leading cotton state, suffered a
net loss of some 2,214,000
bales of cotton, compared with
the previous season, that wheat
exports are practically nil and
that huge shipments of foreign
grain and cotton oil and other
substitutes are arriving at
Texas Gulf porta at frequent
intervals. While it may be de-
sirable to encourage imports of
foreign goods into this country,
Texas is in no position to keep
on importing those crops and
.products which it probably can
produce better or as well as
any competing country. Con-
tinuation of such a policy would
place almost one half of all
Texas farmers in some kind of
relief since only half as much
cotton would need to be pro-
duced as formerly. — Dallas
