IN TREE ROOTS IS ADVICE OF AGENT Peach, pram snd prlcot grower, should at this time make preparation to apply a concentrated gaa attack upon the peach and prune root borers that may lnfeat their tree,, states L. P. Wilcox, county agent. The paradlchlorobenzlne gaa meth od of control Is highly successful U applied correctly and at the proper season. 'Therefore, this method is recommended to growers at thla time. Weak and devitalised peach, prune and apricot trees are more than likely Infested with borers. Oum In masses around the trunk of tha tree at the ground level Is a sure algn of borers being present. The treatment Is sa follows: Level off the ground arouna the tree without disturbing the sub soil. Apply three fourths to one ounce of finely crushed paradlchloro benzlne cryatala In a circle an men wide around the tree trunk. The band of material should be from one to two Inches distant from the tree. A few ahovels full of fine soil should then be mounded around the tree and firmed well. The cryetsls slowly give off a gas that Is heavier than air which set tles In around the tree, enters the tunnels and kllla the borers. For best results the soil should be dry and the temperature 65 degrees or warmer. Trees younger thsn five years of age should not be treated, as the gas may Injure the roots. Such trees, If Infested, should be dewormed by means of a knife. T The orders of the county court that county Jail prisoners serving time be employed In removal of the top layer of dirt from the court house lawn will go Into effect this week. It la expected that the first detail will get busy Wednesday morning. Landscape gardeners have Informed the county court that It would be a waste of seed and time to attempt to sow grass on the present soil, and point out that the present crop of weeds has difficulty In growing. County Agent R. G. Fowler will select the new soil and supervise Its spreading after about six Inches of the present covering has been re moved. County equipment will be used In hauling the dirt away. Some of it will be used In filling up a hole in the street near the court house. It Is planned to complete the work before the winter sets In and to sow the grnss so the court house yard will, look like something next spring.

W. sre giving editorial space to Governor Meier's proclsmstlon announcing "Automoblle-Accldent-Prerentlon Week," as a fitting reminder to the people of this community at the present time: To the People of Oregon: During the year of 1B3J. two hundred and twenty-eight 1 of Oregon's cltlxens were killed as a direct result of automobile accidents. More than foity-three hundred of our citizens were Injured, more than hslf of whom will never fully recover, but will go through life suffering physical handlcsps. If a plsgue or pestilence were making the ssme Inroad on our snlmal or vegetable life that automobile accidents are making on our human life and happiness, a unanimous cry would go up. and all would cooperate to stop such loss. It Is coruervstlvely estimated that ninety percent of all automobile accidents are the direct result of carelessness of either driven or pedestrians. In addition to the tremendous toll of human life and happiness, the annual cost In dollars to the clttrens of Oregon Is greater than the entire cost of our etete government. The month of September will be observed throughout the nation aa Automobile Accident Prevention month. I earnestly urge each citizen, the press, and all churches, civic, patriotic, fraternal and industrial organizations of the com monwealth to put forth their united efforts toward the elimi nation of the loss and suffering which follow In the wake of preventable automobile accidents, by careful driving and walking and by giving full cooperation to all traffic officers whose whole aim Is to msk our streets and highways safe for us and our loved ones.
