There Cardcnes, the first president
of modern times to visit the state,
applied the formula he devised at
the start of his administration to
help Mexico's long-neglected rural
residents; to let them explain. In
person, their needs schools, farm
land, roads, water and, If possible,
to supply them.
No sooner had he aet up head
quarters In the Oaxaca state govern
ment building than swarms of Za

rounding hills settled about the cor
ridors, waiting patiently to see the
executive.

"Forget your local political differ

CALYX SPRAY ADVISED
ON APPLES AND PEARS
BEFORE CUPS CLOSE
It will soon be time to apply the
calyx spray on pear and apple trees,
according to the advice of L. O. Gent
ncr, entomologist of the Southern
Oregon Experiment station and C. B.
Cordy, assistant county agent. Grow
ers should be ready to make this
application when the young fruit has
reached the proper stage of develop
ment. Apple trees should be sprayed when
from 80 to 60 percent of the petals
have fallen and before the calyx cups
close. Since these may close within
a week after the petals fall. It Is very
Important that this spray be applied
on time. The object Is to fill the
cups with poison before they close,
so that worms that attempt to enter
the calyx later In the season will be
poisoned. After the calyx cups have
closed It la Impossible to protect the
fruit against entry at this point.
On pear trees a calyx spray Is ad
vised on Bartlett and Cornice vari
eties, and on the other varieties If
thero has been a worm control prob
lem or If saw-fly larvae or green fruit
worms are present. This application
should bo made when most of the
petals have fallen.
Use powdered arsenate of lead at
the rate of three pounds In 100 gal
lons of water, plus one-fourth to
one-third pound of spreader. Apply
very carefully so as to fill all the
blossom ends of all fruits.
In case the scab spray program Is
being followed, the arsenate of lead
may bo combined with two and one
half gallons lime sulfur on apples
or six pounds wet table sulfur on
pears.

SALEM, April 29. Of) State
Treasurer Holmsn suggested at a
meeting of the state board of con
trol here today the pooling of all
state-owned passenger automobiles to
be requisitioned out only for official
business of state officials and em
ployes. Holman said the present procedure
was unsatisfactory and under his plan
special automobiles would not be as
signed to officials and employes.
"I am firmly convinced that the
state would tave a large amount an
nually through a pooling system,"
Holman said.
Secretary of State Snell reported
that the state now owns approximate
ly lft80 pieces of motor equipment.
Of this number, 683 are passenger
automobiles. There are 763 trucks,
most of which are operated by the
state highway commission. Snell esti
mated the Investment at 4750,000.
The automobile pooling suggestion
followed a report that Bonesteele
Brothers had decided to erect a gar
age at Twelfth and Court streets. A
part of this garage would be used
for the automobile pooling experi
ment. Holman said he had seen state
owned automobiles as far north as
Vancouver, B. C, and at Long view.
Wash. ,
"Something Is wrong when state
officials and employes use state-owned
automobiles for pleasure trips,"
Holman concluded.

The white-top Is now seeding, and
Is a prolific grower. The best way

county that had been abandoned be
cause of the Inroads of white-top.

weed control this year.

If housewives cooked with Motor Oil
their first choice would be
CYCOL
a . 1 " r i
It's too bad you can't see in your
frying pan the sludge gome oils leave
in your heated engine. If you could
you would never U6e anything but
Cycol. For Cycol forms less carbon
than any other motor oil.
No hard carbon to wear metal sur
faces, no sludge to gum piston rings
and slow down your motor. Cycol
keeps rings clean and free, keeps
cylinder walls smooth and bright.
No other motor oil offers these three
outstanding advantages : Cycol forms
less carbon, offers less oil drag and
Cycol iw7 not corrode modern bear
ings. Yet Cycol sells for only 25c a
quart in refinery sealed cans. Switch
to Cycol today and stay with it.
MECHANICS, AUTO DEALERS
SEE THIS TEST!
See with your own eyes this amaz
ing PROOF of Cvcol's superiority.
Along with competitive oils, Cycol
is dropped on a heated test plate to
determine the degree of carbon for
