If the battery be nearly discharged, it will result in the engine being cranked so slowly that the suction will be weak and the length of time during which the mixture comes in contact with the cold mani- fold will be comparatively great, so that the starting will be made more difticult. Those who are using a heavy oil in their engine may do well to use a lighter oil in winter. The heavy oil by congeding will make the cranking of the engine difficult, and so make starting hard. It is worth while watching the opening at the spark plug points in winter. Doing this will often prove a help in starting the engine. They must not be open too far.

The invasion of the potato fields of Germany is threatened by the Color- ado potato beetle. This destrctive in. sect pest has found a foothold at vari- ous times and places in Eastern Eur. ope, but has hitherto been held in check or driven out by energetic mea- sures. Since the war. however. it has in- vaded and established itself In a large area in France. and threatens to ex. tend its Invaslon into Central Europe.
