'Its first big project is aimed for
the establishment of Gold Star htgh-

a continuous

Gold Star Crossroads system which

/These highways will stand as trib

tattoo the date of the birth on the

every child is tattooed almost from

Mnny people deprive themselves of

Orchard trees by doing It Ht the wrong

of time to do the work, often offsets
the good to be gained from the prun

to start In the winter in order to get
through before the sap commence» to
rise in the spring.
For the small orchard, however, the
average farm orchard of an acre or
less in size, the pruning should not be
done until from the middle of March
to the middle of April, just before the
sap commences to rise. If special rea
sons Interfere as to why the work can
not be done at this time, then the old
aduge of "when your knife is sharp

Wounds made in the spring, how
ever, just la-fore the sup commences
to rise begin healing at once, while
wounds made earlier In the season,
as In December and January start
healing several weeks later because
the cold drying winds have killed the
exposed layers of cells in the grow
ing tissues.
Many authorities agree
that the time of pruning is not so Im
portant ns the manner In which It is
done. The cuts should be made with
a sharp knife or saw and close to th*
remaining branch. Such cuts heal
promptly and thoroughly, while Jagged
cuts having n stub often will not heal

the year they are made.

This improvement had to come, and it remained for the
group of men responsible for C-T-Cs to plan, build and
test these tires in every conceivable way even before their
coming to the northwest to erect and equip the most im
proved tire manufacturing plant in America.
It is in the strengthening of the bead, specially con
structed sidewalls, use of only highest grade rubbers and
long staple combed cotton, hand-built processes, im
proved compounding and the semi-flat, wear-resisting,
non-skid tread that these improvements are definitely
marked.
C-T-C Cords offer the extraordinary advantage of maxi
mum mileage under 30% less inflation than prescribed
for the cords you are now driving. This means greater
riding comfort and reduced wear and tear and upkeep
expense on your car.
C-T-C Cords 30x3’1 Io 35x5; Fabrics 30x3 and
30x3% only. C-T-U Inner Tubes are the heaviest,
strongest standard tubes on the market.

Good lubrication
or new parts?
If you use motor trucks in your business,
you’re interested in anythin« that will help
you rciiuv e t operating costs. There’s one safe,
positive step in the right direction—get ac
quainted w ith
for perfect lubrication. You’ll soon learn
some interesting facts about the compara
tive costs of a good lubricant and expensive
new metal parts.
You know what oil is supposed to do; and
you probably know the results of using
poor oil—even though you may not have
recognized your oil as the source of those
results. Wc know lubrication, too; and by
careful tests we found the best oil—Sunoco.
It’s a pure lubricant. We know it means
more power; time and money saved; more
efficient operation. You’ll know it, too,
when you use Sunoco.

TO SAVE BORDEAUX MIXTURE
Fruit growers who use bordenux
mixture are well acquainted with the
fact that the material that Is left in

ness. A great deal of waste Is occa
sioned by tills Instability of bordeaux
mixture. Rut at the Oregon Experi
ment stiitlon It has be*n found tlml a
little sugar put In the brirdcnux mix
ture will overcome all of tlie trouble.
Bordeaux mixture thus treated can be
held an indefinite length of time and
used tin- same ns freshly made bor-
deaux. Tills method will sate tlie
spray for future use when ruin or a
breakdown prevents tlie grower from
finishing out his tank.
In the course of the Investlgntlonn
It wns found that tlie quantity of
sugar to use Is one eightli ounce'of
ordinary granulated sugar for every
pound of copper sulphate used. Too
much sugar will cause tlie copper to
dissolve. Dissolve the sugar at the
nite of one well rounded, but not heap
ing, ti ii spoonful of sugar In one quart
of water, and use tills solution at the
rate of one half pint for every pound
of hordeaux required. In other words,
n rounded teaspoonfnl of sugar dis

for 50 gallons of 4-4-50 hordeaux mix
