be considered. Cast iron wheel
weights are usually higher in
cost than weight placed in the
tires. From a practical stand
point there is a limit to the
number of weights that can be
added per wheel. Wheel weights
can be taken off when not
needed.
There are two kinds of weight
which can be placed in tires.
One is dry powder. The other
is calcium chloride and water.
The latter seems to be pre
ferred, says Constein.
Calcium chloride and water,
according to the agricultural
engineer, is the least expensive

USDA To Terminate Lancaster Farming, Saturday, September 24, 1966— 19
Cholera Agreement
The U, S. Department of
Agriculture proposed to term
inate on December 31, 1966,
the marketing agreement and
order regulating handling of
anti-hog cholera serum and hog
cholera virus.
The main purpose of the
marketing agreement and or
der initiated in 1935, was to
method of adding weight. Max
imum amount that can be ad
ded is limited by tire size.
The tire is normally filled only
75 to 90 percent full. The cal
cium chloride adds extra weight
to the water and keeps it fiom
freezing.
Adding 100 pounds of weight
to a tractor (50 pounds on each
wheel) will increase its pulling
ability 50 pounds on sandy
loam, and 36 pounds on dry
sand.
Tests show the average trac
tor can pull 937 pounds per
rated plow bottom in its usual
plowing gear Adding 600
pounds to a three-plow tractor
would increase its pulling abil
ity about 10 percent if more
traction is needed.
In field operation, slippage
should not exceed 16 peicent.
Exact slippage can be found
by marking a spot on a rear
tire and running the tractor
without load a distance of 30
turns of the rear wheels. Then
put the tractor under load and
count the revolutions required
to travel the same distance
The added number of turns
times 100, divided by the total
turns gives the slippage in
percent.
, If, for example, the wheel
of a tractor under load made
34 revolutions, subtract 30 from
34 Multiply the difference, 4,
by 100 Then divide by 34. The
slippage is 118 percent.

provide a substantial reserve
of serum to protect U. S. swine
against serious outbreaks of
hog cholera. Progress made in
eradicating hog cholera has
diminished the need for anti
hog cholera serum, and the
required serum reserves, so
that the marketing agreement
and order are no longer nec
essary in the public interest,
USDA said.
Hog cholera incidence has
been drastically reduced by
control measures used in the
national eradication campaign,
which was started in December
1962. During the fiscal year
ending July 1, confirmed out
breaks of hog cholera through
out the U. S. numbered only

ing fiscal 1965 and 1,118 m

engaged in the eradication
campaign, and the bulk of the
nation’s swine population—over
97 percent—are m states which
