plant pears on soil vuese there Is
Impervious hard pan or shale near
the surface, for eren though such
soil may produce a good thrifty
tree It is rery apt to be attacked
with 'blossom blight and 'die
back' by the time it has reached
bearing age. 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. Standard pear tree should
not be planted closer than 18 or
20 feet each way, and some grow
ers recommend 25 feet as better.

In the city. 1 "
Mr. Renner owns his own prop

prices he charged before the fire.
! In erecting the - new building
Mr. Renner announces that he. will
favor so far as possible, the men
who are needing work. He desires
to be a friend of. the jobless man.
He understands the value of a
Lfriend In need for It Js through

AUTO REPAIR SHOP
PROVES A SUCCESS
Guy N. Hickman, Owner of
. 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. ? : ; ,

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

: than the pear. ; Not one grower lri
ten In this section prunes half
enough for best results-! 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

"I will sar of my trip down

the cutting down of many young

In use were enormous. ; J
J " Xo Fear Here
"In the Wiliamette valley we
needj not fearjfor the fire blight,
as it will not" be of any damage
here', on accourit of better climatic
conditions, and'tne blight will not
spread to do any serious damage.
"It . Is my opinion that the pear
industry Is one of the best, espe
cially in some of the wetter parts
of our farms j .where the soil is
deepj and heavy. .
"t think the most serious pest
we growers in-the Willamette val
ley have Is the scab. But if the

great deal of sunlight, and sprayed
well j-Just before the budar come
3ut!and If we will follow up with
the spray program, we will have

good one; that pears are a very
fine! variety of : fruit to diversify

Jo riot come on or harvest at the
