Kroni stat istic compiled thus far by Hal K. Hons, secretary of state, it Is ex pected that the tourist registration will reach a total of more than ; 100,000 cars for the year. Visit unT cars registered for the ; nine months ending September :to, hrought a total of 89,071. which com pares almost to the to- ; tal of flo.LMS for the entire year iyt 192S. The peak year since regis tration started was 1926 with a to tal of cars coming Into the state.

With ; this percentage used as a basis for ' computation, it would he safe to ; estimate the actual number of out of the state cars at 165000 for this j year. This would mean, with an i average of three persons to the car. that some Sou. aim tourists would be in the state during liii'H. What this means in terms of money to the state can only be conjectured, as the length of stay of each cat Is difficult to determine."

These have been figured out by careful experiment as to the root area necessary for the bulb to pro duce the best results. Tulips should go five inches apart for the single earlles. and six inches apart for the late typea. Narcissi are best at eight inches, as they make a much larger root system. Tho small bulbs may be tucked in an inch apart for mass display. Hya cinths need eight inches apart to be at their best. " j It is best to plant the bulbs at, the proper depth and refrain from j mulching except in eatto of hya-1 clnths, which arc such early risers that a light mulch is advisable to protect them from early rains and ; freezes. In soils inclined to be heavy it is best to plant the tulips In raised beds so that the bulb' when planted will be near the nor mal level of the soil. The tulip needs a warm summer ripening and deteriorates in cold, heavy soil. . FAMCS LA GRANDE STORE Successors to N.K.WEST & CO.
