PEACH LEAK IX Hh VIKI.DS TO IIOHBEAIX 'lUKATMENT Perfwt Control In PromUed firowera Wko Apply 8-H-50 Bordeaux Before February lOlh. Oregon Agricultural College, Cor- vallls. Jan. 17. Peach leaf curl can be entirely prevented by thorough appli cation of Bordeaux mixtuie, 6-6-50, not later than February 10. 'A hundred per cent of buds covered means loo per cent disease free leaves," explains H. P. liaraa, plant pathologist of the O.A.C. experiment station. "But only 50 per cent of buds covered bring the posiblllty of 50 per cent infected leaves from the untreated buds." The leaf curl Is a slate-wide peach trouble that dwarfs the trees and re duces or destroys the crop. It is likely to appear In any untprayed orchard in any part of the state. The same sptay thoroughly applied to all parts of tho tree la said by Prof liarsa to be the most permanent control of tree moss. This i true for all or chard trees, though lime-sulfur 1-8 Is fairly effective. Lye. 1 pound to 6 or 1 gallons of water, puts an Immediate crimp In the moss, but new growths start again under favorable conditions aa aoon as the lye Is washed off the trees.

Y !: j V i B usiness Mus Continue IN SPITE of the scarcity of money, in spite of seeming adverse conditions, busness must "carry on." The people must buy the necessities and most of them are able to, and will, buy tho luxuries to which they are accustomed. They will, of course, buy these things where 'the inducement offered them is the greatest, and the merchant who realizes and acts upon this fact is the one to whom will go most of the trade. Of all times, now is the time when advertising, persistently and consistently done, will accomplish the most. The times of " easy come easy go" are over and here as everywhere else, a buyers' market ha3 become a sellers' market, Every business man with something to sell must exert himself as he has not had to do in the past few years, and this exertion expressed through advertising will accomplish wonders. In Heppner the logical medium through which to reach the ' people who constitute the buying force of Morrow County is, of course, THE GAZETTE-TIMES. Logical, because of a circulation double that of its nearest competitor; unequalled mechanical equip ment; the best of workmanship, and an advertising service which is complete in every respect. THE GAZETTE-TIMES is ready at all times to put its equip ment, advertising service and knowledge at the disposal of the busi ness man.
