Prominent Dealers Are Signed up by Willys Overland Unusual interest in the Willys Overland motor car franchise is be ing manifested by prominent automo bile dealers throughout the country as the result of the announcement of the. new models earlier in the year. As n result a number of important ileal or connections havo been com pleted in larger retail centers. Earlier in the year new Inrge deal ers were closed at Philadelphia, Cleveland. Washington, and a promi nent distributor for the Argentine Re public with headquarters at Buenos Aires. More recently new dealers . weru obtained at Pittsburg, Milwau kee, Los Angeles, Denver and Mil waukee, in each instnuco the new ad ditions to the Willys-Overland ranks being business men prominent for years in the nutomobile circles in their respective communities. Still another prominent addition to the list of new dealers in the export field is the signing of Mark L. Moody, Inc., Shanghai, China, with a distri bution territory comprising the prov inces of Kiangsn. Chekiang, Anwei, Ilonnn, Ilupeh, Kiangsi, Hunan and Szechwan. A shipment of new models has already gone forward to the Ce lestian Republic from the factory at Toledo, including new Overland and Willys-Knight sixes. New Jewett Coach Announced; Price Listed as Feature The Paige-Detroit Motor Cor com pany in an effort to present the new est and smartest coach in history an nounces tnrougu ii. j. "ni'sic. ager of H. J. Bringle Motor company, local distributors, a new five-passenger Jewett six model nt only $55.00 more than open car prices. In designing this coach, the Paige company gave every consideration to three outstanding essentials demanded by the motorist: First: Uoomy comfort. Second: Sinartness. Third: Serviceability. Pointing out how completely suc cessful the company was in develop ing these three requirements, Mr. Bringle said: "Uoomy comfort could only bo ob tained by building the new cooch the same size as sedan models. It must have ample room for five and to fill every need of the average family must also have space in the tonueau for packages. "Wide doors permit passengers in the rear seat getting in and out without requiring tho riders in the front Beat to leave their seats. The width of the doors is 30 inches. t.rtM.. l nn1 tilir winfinwH in the side and rear give to the exterior the beauty that makes this new model the smartest coach on the market. The upper corners of the back have a ball end. This rounded smoothness fits in with the radiator and hood design. A final touch of artistry is given to the design by n belt molding, hereto fore only employed in the design of the nation's most beautiful custom built motor cars. "Of course, serviceability of the new Jewett six model is not confined to tho upholstery. The new Jewett coach is the highest example of a staunchly constructed body on a mcd-ium-prircd chassis." CHICAGO, April 25. Remove tho mental strain of the driver nnd you'll remove an important cause for traf fic accidents, says Sydney J. Williams, chief of the public safety division of the National Safety Council here. ' Memal strains, says Williams, in cludes the following conditions of mind : The worried mind, the unguarded mind, the puzzled mind, the stubborn mind, the misguided mind nnd the diseased inind. All these conditions occur at limes, permanently or tem porarily, among auto drivers. Where one is permanent, the driver should be kept from tho streets. In addition there is the strain aris ing from the environment or a tem porary condition. Confusion in traf fic, knowledge on the part of the driv er of defective brakes or other tem porary feeling of insecurity might cause mental strain. Don't wrap your clonk about tou in a smug security and conclude that ; our counties bordering the Willamette have nothing to fear as there is ; nothing at 6take in the fight against blister rust." says a foreat specialist, W. V. Fuller, of Dallas who has cruised much timber land In the re gion of Black Rock in Polk county ' and hat estimated that there are be- ; tweeu 10 and 12 million feet of choice western white pine in that region, j Worth saving? Oh. yes. i "But think of tomorrow. Western ' white pine If given a fair chance will multiply itself M-vi-ral times after this region is logged over and from being relatively unimportant will become ; one of the leading foreat trees of this section. But not if Mister rust 1 invades it and nothing is done to con- j trol the situation." j A much smaller ares of white pine 1 ia located in eastern Tillamook coun ty west of Forest Grove. These two regions are significant not only from the standpoint of tho whito pine this land fs capahle of producing in the future, but because they are in the general southward course of blister rust. Once the disease gets into these regions it will have an opportunity to spread 100 miles in every direc tion as it spreads great distances from the pines. So important nre these two re gions as potential relay stations for blister rust that on the recommenda tion of F. A. Elliott, state forester, the blister rust office of the I'nited Stntes department of agriculaure ex pects to have two men in these rn gionB most of the coming summer studying the situation with a view to making recommendations for future action. A little work has been done in the Tillamook county orea and this has revealed thnt the stink cur rant is very prevalent In the region, i Stink current stnnds second only lo the cultivated black currant as a ser ious menace in the spread of blister rust. ki.j w I I I Farm Pointers . The poor pototo crops in Oregon nre due to four principal causes, says the experiment stntion specialists. There ore too many varieties, too ninny unproductive hills, poor stands, and in many cases not enough plont food and moisture. More Traffic Seen Over Lincoln Road Dipping the sheep after shearing In roromiiiended ns eood Oreiron proe- ' tico by the state college extension i service. It reduces the cost of dip ping, keeps ticks off the lomhs and son's clip. To measure body depth hold the hen In both hands with tho head facing you. Place the thumbs together In the middle of the back and clasp the fingers along the breast bone. The two little fingers should fall on the front end of the breast bone and the forefingers on the rear end. By handling several hens a difference of a fraction of an Inch can easily be detected. DKTROIT, April 25. Dozens of long newly paved roads will greet the tourist along tho Lincoln Highway on his way from coast to coast this sum mer. They are the physical representa tion of an $8,000,000 development . of this transcontinental highway last year. Motor traffic this year ocross states nnd over longer distances is expected to be much greater than ever. California alono expects atl records to be broken in the number of tourists coming to that state. The national porks tiro planning to greet additional thousands from the cast. Tho Lincoln Highway will he one of tho most popular roods for such touring say officials of this high way, because It is almost entirely completed. By the spring of 1020, tho officials expect to see nearly 2S00 miles finished. That's 00 per cent of the distance. On its completion the Lincoln Highway will have .rontutned a total investment of $75,000,000. A good grazing practice on Oregon pasture lands is to keep the stock off : the grans in the spring until it has a j start, Rotating grazing on different ! pastures each year to allow for this I growth is most desirable, says the i Oregon station. Overstocking on graz 1 ing lands Is "killing the goose that i lays the golden egg." Profit In beef 'or mutton production depends upon j ample grass. An important step in ! good grazing practices is to allow i some grass to go to seed every third or fourth year. (Br NRA Service) MANHATTAN. Kas., April 2.r. Tho plan of holding county seed ex changes for tho sale and pure-huso of approved seed has spread rapidly from Kansas, whero it. began last year, to several other states. The report of this plan's rapid suc cess and progress is made by II. It. Sumner, nsslstont professor in the extension division of the Kansas State Agricultural college here, un der whose supervision the Beed ex changes were stnrted. From a beginning of six exchanges Inst year, Sumner reports, tho seed exchange idea grew to 10 this spring in Kansas alone, In which more than 20,000 farmora participated. "A seed exchange," explains Sum ner, "is a co-operative meeting whero the man, who has seed for sale dis plays it for the benefit of the man who has. to buy seed. Every sample ia tested by the college for purity and germination. "The idea for seed exchanges grew out of the extension project of get ting pure seed of nn adapted variety readily avoilahle throughout tho state. By use of tho seed exchange, county agents can 'sell the farmer on an adapted variety of seed, such as Pride of Sulino corn, and in response to his query as to whero tho corn con bo bought refer him to n half dozen growers in his own county. "Tho purity ami germination tests bring homo to the farmer tho import ance of sura requirements. When tho seller finds unfavorably with that of a rival, provement in quality is hound to m suit." Oregon as a result of recent cold rains which favor rapid sprend of the scab fungi," Kays II. , Barss, plont pathologist of the stoto experiment station. "Special precaution must bo taken in putting on the calyx spray in commercial orchards to insure abso lutely complete covering of the entire foliage as well as tho young fruit, with tho spray as soon as the petals have dropped.' Liquid lime-sulfur ntv the rate of 2 gallons to 100 gallons of water should be used except on sensitive skinned pears which should be spray ed with some non-caustic sulfur spray or dusted with dusting sulfur when the air is still. The Spray Program for Oregon Orchards gives the complete spray Rfhcdule. It ia sent free by the Ore gon Agricultural college at Corvallis, on request of growers. The new method of potato seed ; treatment with hot formaldehyde is i proving effective in Oregon. Because . of Its rapidity and cheapness, thi treatment is fast gaining favor. Many potato growers m the Willamette m-iij tin n vuiiiif ui ill preference to the more common methods used in past years. The hot formaldehyde treatment is I fully 8B effective as the reliable mer I euric chloride (corrosive sublimate) in the control of rhizactonia. Com ; pnrattv tests have been conducted by the Oregon experiment station un der the supervision of B. McKay, plant pathologist. Theotment of po tatoes with the different methods showed that mercuric chloride and hot formaldehyde are about equally ef fective. Old formaldehyde and us pulnn were quite Ineffective. For the most effective results with tho hot formalrehydo treatment, as recommended by the experiment sta tion. 2 pints of formaldehyde are used to 30 gallons of water. The potatoes ore dipped for two minutes t 118 de grees to J22 degrees F. Tempera tures much warmer than 122 degrees will injure the germination qualities of tho potatoes. The mercuric chlor ide treatment is used at the standard strength of 4 ounces to 30 gallons of water for 2 hours. Tho farmer's choice of the two treatments depends on the one which fits his convenience the better. The mercuric chloride treotment appears to bo best adapted to small acreage, whereas tho hot formaldehyde treat ment is cheaper ond time saving for lorge acreage. The average'eost per bushel for hot formaldehyde treat ment is from 2 to fi cents. This treatment has proved to be effective, practical, ensy and Inexpensive, snd makes possible the treating of large quantities of seed In a short time, as developed by the state agricultural college at Ames, Iowa. Planes to Carry Spray Over Monroe Best results with corn are obtain ed on soils thnt have been in some legumo Vrop like clover or alfalfa or on those that hnve been well ma nured. Corn, to mnlto a good growth, requires plenly bf, available plant food especially nitrogen and phosphorous. In localities where tho moisture sup ply holds out throughout the growing season good results ore often ob tained from tho use of nitrogen and phosphorous carrying fertilizers. Them fertilizers are useless on lands plowed late or those that dry out badly. In order that tho Oregon farmer may secure better results In yield and quality, flnd nehieve the distinc tion of certification of potatoes, the extension service recommends that seed which Is smooth, medium size, and free from disease be used. To prevent diseases, potatoes may be treated in n corrosive sublimate so lution or in hot formoldehyde. Direc tions may be had by writing to the station at Corvallis. CORVALLIS, Ore., April 25. "Dusting" experiments with nlrplnnea on fruit orchards near Monroe will bo carried on in Mny by D. C. Cham berlain, assistant professor of ento mology nnd forest entomology of the Oregon Agricultural college. Dr. Chamberlain believes It prac tical to "dust" largo orchards .with airplanes and thereby eliminate spray ing, the means hitherto employed to kill parasites. ' Two planes from Vancouver will bo used, piloted bv Lieutenant a Oakley O. Kelly nnd II. C. Miller.
