These long-distance Millers are built by uniform workmanship that's why they render Uniform Mileage under like conditions. Uniform Miller Tires mean no "second bests." V. .... I The impression haa gained some ground that the writer has condemned the life uf nitrate of soda as a fertilizer fur our orchards and that we are done with it. Jut where such an impres sion comes from I am unable to say. 1 cannot help but feel that fume growers have simply jum-d at conclusions. The matter of toil fertility is too big a pro Jem to tie dismissed by yes or no. Our greatest authorities have been working on the problem for years and yet it mut be confessed that much is et to be learned. Indeed, even many of the fundamentals are yet to be worked out. The writer has just completed a ser ies of articles w hich were given publi cation in the local papers regarding the problem of orchard fertility as he sees it. If growers would take the time to study those articles I am sure a wror conception of the proper use of nitrate of F'Xla would not be gained. Nitrate of soda has been the grow er's beht friend in the Hood Kiver val ley. We have made more money from its use during the past six years than we will orobably make from any other fertilizer in the next ten years. Hut we must not overlook the fact that in many orchards it has seved its purpose, that of providing our trees with nitro gen until shade crops such as clover or alfalfa could exert their full influence. Uur highest authorities claim that com mercial nitrogen is detrimental to the growth and functioning of legumes; that it prevents bactei ial action and promotes grasses and weeds instead. Evidence was introduced to prove this to be so. If, then, we are growing al falfa or clover to gather nitrogen in a natural way, why apply nitrogen which may defeat this purpose? W here these crops have been grown for Borne time in the orchard thire should now be enough nitrogen available for our trees. Should we be unable to maintain a suitable supply of nitrogen by shade crops alone, then we may be compelled to resort to commercial nitrogen, but the need for this does not exist now. Should we find eventually that we must supplement shade crops with commer cial nitrogen we will probably rotate nitrate of soda with sulphate of am monia. The writer in previous articles has pointed out that our trees consume large amounts of potash and considera bio phosphoric acid that these elements have no natural source of replenish ment such as nitrogen from the uir. For every pound of these elements we take from the soil we must now or eventually put back an equivalent if normal fertility is to be maintained or built up. We may be able to go on fi r years without any fertilizer containing potash, for example, and get yields, liut just as surely as the subtraction principle holds good we are depleting our normal supply unless we put this bark. This is the reason why the writer sugirtsted that the grower try out a fertilizer rich in potasii and phof poric acid. If, in the judgment of the grower, several tons is neeesary for a suitable trial that is a matter which he alone may decide. One conclusion is unavoidable, however. Should the grower fail to get a response for tre uc of such a fertilizer immediately his investment is not lost, but that the so l at pie-t-nt has enough available plant food for normal production. Plant fi.od thus added will be utilized event ually. In the meantime normal fertil ity is maintained instead of beirg de puted. 1 am afraid some growers who are depending upon their stand of clover or alfalfa to supply sullicient nitrogen will be disappointed. In many cases nothitig but a feeble growth is present and grasses and sod abound. In many cases little or no cultivation will be given. Perhaps sufficient irrigation water will be withheld. If the grower depends upon that combination this year, especially with winter injured trees, he may find himself up against a hard game. If the soil dries out and there is a warm, quick, growing spring and early summer, such trees are bound to suffer severely. The only feasible plan is to plow up such a stand and cultivate, with plenty of it. Hut whether or not plowing is done don't forget to cultivate in order to conserve moisture and release plant food. Last ly, let me urge that you irrigate and cultivate in a very thorough manner. highTchool notes (Hy Laura M. Folts) The motion picture show given by the seniors last Friday night was a de cided success. An unusual feature of the evening whs a comedy orchestra, Jimmy Johnson, Harold Dixon, Haul Reed, Harold Early and Verne Folts, which afforded great amusement be tween reels. The committee in charge, Teddy Hackett, Claude Guiton, Dor othy Cram and Laura Folts, sincerely thunks the public for their patronage. It is estimated that the net proceeds amount to about $.r0, which will go to make the Mascot a better annual this year. The operetta will be put on about the first of April. Watch for the date, you will want to see it. A picture show was given Monday noon. the first tournament game was played Monday, base ball and tug-of war. Miss Hunkins was ill last week, but is back in her old place once more. We ; are very glad to see her back.

A HARD DIG AT THE PAPER HOGS The fnllowinir in Rlf.PTTilaniitftrv While it was not sent for publication, the letter, written by the chief of re cruilinir nublicitv for the armv. is worth the white space it will occupy. Memorandum : For all editors. Subject: Our questionnaire, 2-21-20. Reference : Your answer. 1. For a verv unod reminn this is sent along as real news, although not ior publication. I. I hanks for vour riromot response and your interest. Replies to cur questionnaire show an almost unani mous verdict that the oaner waste is appalling. Based on slightly less than 1,000 reolies from naners raturiiikr in circulation from the aoO.lKK) citv dailv to the a week fellow in the rural districts, the composite answer is : How much free publicity are you re ceiving in the daily mails- all sources? boxes Harrels, I arloads. How much of it are you using? of 1 percent by volume. How much of it is put up in news paper ehape so as to require no editing or re-writing? 2.75 percent by weight. How much of it has news value? Now and then we rind a raisin in it. Remarks (if any) There should be another Volstead Act for the suppre sion of near and unpaid publicity. G-r-r-r ! ! ! Likewise d -n. Waste is criminal. Some of the mot palpable offenders are movies, presi dential candidates, financial institu tions, relief organizations paving high salaries to supposed space grafters Hearty congratulations on your good sense in cutting out some of it. 3. And so, with there few remarks. and after turning in our dark lantern our gum goloshes, our false face and our skeleton keys, we renounce n.em bership in the Space Grabber s Umoi and will endeavor to lead an honest. straightforward life hereafter. 4. But listen. Now and then, not often mind you, when you get in tlv; mails a colored envelope such as en closes this memorandum, open it up, lor it will contain some 100 proof Fluff that was smuggled through the vast sea ot useless wonts. It 11 be that kind or we won't send it out. Automobiles Recovered C. K.

No one, after read ing her letter, can continue to doubt the great healing power of I'E-UU-NA for troubles duo to catarrh or cntarrlial conditions in any part of the body. Her letter "is an inspiration to every pick and suffering man or woman anywhere. Here it is: "1 Buffered two years with catarrh of the head, stomach and bowels.

There w ould not bo more than three mill ion five hundred thousand Ford carB in daily service which is just about one half of all the automobiles in America if the Ford, as a reliable motor car, did not meet the demands of all classes of people averywhere and under all circum stances. Two and two have always made four. If the material, the iron and the marvelous Vanadium steel used in the construction of the Fwd chassis, were not of the highest quality known to the science of Metallurgy, then the Ford car could not have won its world-wide reputation for reliability. Two and two have always made four. When replacements and repairs are required on Ford cars, the Ford owner will be wise in bringing his car to our place, because we use only the Genuine Ford Parts, and we have the Ford skilled mechanics, and all the Ford knowledge that goes to maintain the high standard of quality which is original in the Ford car. When you want a Ford car or a Ford truck, and when you want repairs or replacements for the same, we earnestly solicit your business, assuring you of prompt attention, real Ford service, and economical Ford prices.
