Parents, teachers, preachers, school boards, grangers, citizens and every body else, may we not all cooperate to help the young to grow strong by teaching them to help themselves.

Editor Glacier: In a widely read article in the Oregonian recently there occurred a misstatement in regard to the proposed $6,000,000 good roads bond issue to which I would like to call attention. The article stated "The Autoists are to pay the cost." It should have read, "The tire companies are to pay the coat," and might have mentioned that the gasoline and spring manufacturers will contrbute as well. Take the writer's case. My tire bill is about $175 a year and gasoline comes to about $60. I always do some tour ing on the main through roads of the state. The increase in my license tax will be $7.50. Can anyone doubt that the hard sur facing of these main roads will save me more than $7.50 out of the $235 I spend for tires and gasoline? Granting that to be the case, and it will undoubtedly be the case with a great majority of the autoists in Ore gon, it is all wrong to figure that the autoists will pay the cost any more than the Highway Commission will pay the cost. The series runs as follows: The Commission pays the bond holders, the state pays the Commission, the auto ists pay the state and the tire and gas, companies pay the autoists. If any organized opposition to this bond issue develops let us investigate and see if those companies are not be hind it. It may be against their inter ests. It favors the interests of every one else. Yours truly, Ralph Root. Films, Camera., Photo Supplies. Sloconi, Canfleld Co. mN-tf $635 NOW (By Lecoy Childs) The most important factor In des troying the efficiency of the oil appli cation is rain. In the work carried on last year it was found that two to three days of fair weather follow ing the tprayinc gave partial control of the leaf roller, while with five or more fair days existing complete con tml was obtained. This year the work is becoming complicated to the orchardictt of large acreage owing to the rush that will tollow this long retarded plant grow th; a condition that will put the oil hpiay and the delayed dormant scab application rather close together. De velopment undoubtedly will be very fast when it starts and orchardists should take this into consideration in planning their work. In view of the fact that rain seems to be the determining factor in suc cess or failure, it is the writer's sug gestion that growers with large acre ages begin their spraying with oil 89 soon as a period of warm settled weather arrives. This would per haps also be good advice to the or ohardist of smaller acreage, but he has more time to get the spray on and can undoubtedly wait to advan tage. The oil used at the rate of six gallons to 100 gallons of water can he applied safely until the blossom buds begin to show rather prominent ly. From the present stage of devel opment. In the case of the later varl eties (Newtowns and Spitz). thiB con dition will probably not be reached In less than two weeks. Of course this will be reached much sooner in the case of the early varieties. In the case of Newtowns and Spit zenburgs it will probably not be nec essary to apply the delayed dormant application for scab control in less than two weeks; the first leaves should be well unfolded before this application is made. Growers who do not use the oil application should odd tobacco with the lime sulphur In this application in order to control the brown aphis. It is this insect which causes the little gnarly apples that hang in clusters in the lower parts of the trees. This insect can only be controlled at this time ano n Is therefore very important that the tobacco be added. From work car ried on last year we have found that it is necessary to begin the control of powdery mildew in this j'DDlica tion. Iron sulphide has been found to be the best material that can be used in this work. It Is a very econ omical material and can be used in combination with the other materials employed in the delayed dormant ap Pi. cation. Directions for the prepara tion or tins material can be' found on page 8 of the last Hood River re port. Atomic sulphur at the rate of ti-ioo can be used, but we have not found It as affective as the iron sul phide. ine following is the formula for the delayed dormant application: Lime Sulphur (?,2 degree test) 1 20 Tobacco 1-11!00 Iron Sulphide (for mildew) 10-100 For dilution to be made from lime sulphur testing other than 32 degrees see last Hood Kiver report or Spray Calendar sent out by Association. AT THE GEM TODAY $665 lay 1st because of the increased cost of the high grade materials used in the manufacture of Maxwell Motor Cars i and because the policy of the Max well Company will not permit of cheapening its product, therefore the price of the Maxwell will be slightly increased as follows: Touring Car from $635 to $665 Roadster from $620 to $650 Buy YOUR Maxwell before MAY FIRST and save the increase.
