It Is common to say that pears will stand on heatier and wetter soils "i than prunes, peaches, apples and walnuts; and while this is true It does not meaa that It Is adrisable to plant ; on such soils -unless they have first been thoroughly drained and sub soiled. - The best and most profit able - pear orchards in California are those growing- on the sandy bottoms of Sacramento rlrer where the soil has perfect drain age and. sub-Irrigation. "Before a pear orchard Is plant ed the soil should be thoroughly plowed to a depth of 8 or 10 inch es and put in the : best physical condition. The planting should be done ; with thoroughness ' and care in every particular and the young trees should be given espec ial care in cultivation the first season.

Trees Jfeed Attention It Is one thing, and a rery important thing, to plant a pear orchard and bring It to bearing age; it is another and equally Im portant thing to keep the orchard In such a state of cultivation as will insure annual crops of first class fruit.

Shop on South Commer cial, Doctors Sick Cars (By EDWARD T. BARBER) . Every motorist knows how to appreciate first class service promptly delivered, when it comes to repairs on that old car. You may have had a lot of grief with it and had . it in many . garages where you paldhigh : prices, for supposed expert service but the result was always; the same. . The engine spit and spluttered, , failed to pull on a hill or some equally distressing trouble always stared the driver in the face. If you have suffered such misfortunes and wish to get rid of then call some day on Guy N. Hickman, ,atr his little' shop- on the highway, 1000 South Commercial street and yon will come away feeling that there is still somethings In life worth living for. He is a wizard when It comes to doctoring sick cars. The most obstreperous old outlaw on the road will become docile and act like a civilized car after he has hypnotized it with his wrenches and tools and thing-a-ma-Jigs. Ho ptta some sort of self-respect in the. old machine and it goes right out to the high war and; dares any other car to throw dust in its face. ? : ; , Mr. Hiekman Ts'an artist in his line o'. work" end !that Tact heeds no further proof, than the success which has followed his locating here beside the Pacific Highway in Salem town. : He began busi ness' in Salem about 18 months ago. Was a stranger in the cits'. He started in a small modest way doing the work himself.. His busi ness has grown , until he employs three and four assistants and his shop is always crowded with cars needing' just .the kind of service he' gives. Most jot these cars are discouraged machines which have been Impressed with the idea that they are hardly : worth repairing, but they and their owners always go out of this shop with a broad smile on i their faces Over having met. this i miracle worker on sick carat; He. puts pep Into the car. He sells gas with pep In it, and oil with a body to It worth while. Jnst try him onee and be convin ced that you have found what yOu have long looked for a garage that delivers the goods.

This is especially true ;with respect to the Bartlett; which i is a rank grower and makes an immense crop of fruit buds each season. The tree should e heavily pruned every second year and the fruit spurs thinned .out every spring. Pear culture in this section Is no long er ; an experiment, but. the way some growers practice it, It is a good deal of a joke. : Growers Mast Spray "There is no use trying to' grow marketable pears without, thor ough spraying, r I have tried to do it and failed. The orchard should be given at least;, one dormant spray df lime sulphur each season In March. Then It should be given the regular sprays for scab and codling moth during Hhe spring and summer. . '" ;,.: .- 4 "While . excessive fertilization with nitrogenous manures is not to be recommended for a pear orchard, especially , if there is danger from fire blight, yet few soils adapted to pear culture are fertile enough to produce contin uous heavy crops without some assistance In the way of added fertility from year to year. In connection with cover i crops of clover and vetch it would le well to give occasional applications of super phosphate, and some form cf line."
