These records, steadily increasing in number and in mileage totals, justify the Firestone contention that there is one best way to build tires. Among the primary sources of Firestone extra mileage is double gum-dipping the saturation of the cord plies in a vat of liquid gum thus coating each cord and virtually eliminating internal heat and friction. Another is Firestone air bag curing, with its 200 pound pressure, which places every cord accurately and equalizes the tension. By blending the rubbers of different plantations and types, and by tempering it before mixing, Firestone men add still more mileage. Many cord tires are good a few are better Firestone users say one is best. Those who have already experienced Firestone mileage, have stopped shopping and experimenting they have made these cords standard equipment. Investigate your friends' success with Firestone Cords and buy your next tire accordingly.

SCOTT Hood River, Oregon By Gordon Q. Brown It is advisable that strawberry grow ers begin topping their plants within a very short time. ' This is especially true lor strawperry growers .in tne Lower Valley where plants' are consid erably more advanced than is true of the Upper Valley. All of tne principles evolved in toe lupuniK ui Bimwuerriea are not inor ougniy understood, in many cases cutting off the tops and burning will eliminate certain insect pests and dis eases. However, tnis is not a usual factor under Hood River conditions. The main object to be obtained is to stimulate new leaf growth and bv so doing, store up plant food on the crowns for next year's crop. Just where the old leaves cease to function in the most favoarble manner for this storage of plant food is not f ullv un derstood. It is regarded that as long as old leaves remain green, they are capable of doing this. It is apparent however, that leaves begin to discolor and dry up shortly after the picking season. In this case it is desirable that new foliage be developed as rap- iaiy as possible. for the past three years the writer has been experimenting with this prob lem, it nas been round that best re suits are secured when the topping is done comparatively soon after the crop has been harvested. H lghest yields and larger sizes for subsequent crops have been associated with plants that have been topped not later than two or three weeks after picking has finished. It has also been observed that cultiva tion is facilitated by such topping, in that the hoe may be brought into use close up to the plants. This is essen tially economical and satisfactory for cultivation and weed eradication. The saving in the topping expanse, even though results from such practices were satisfactory, would be far over balanced by the extra expense in culti vation under such unfavorable conditions. During the latter part of the 1921 picking season on a four year old patch, it was observed that a heaped hallock from plants not topped re quired as many as 118 berries, whereas the top plants required only M. The berries in cases were small but the difference between the different treat ments wers quite apparent. This year the results were even more striking! in favor of early topping. The plants which were topped during the middle of August put on a late growth, but did not nearly approach the size of plants which were topped early. It was furthermore observed that the de velopment of the crowns from plants not topped and those which were topped late was much less satisfactory than the other plants. The influence of topping therefore seems to be very clear. It is advisable that the fertilizer re quirements of strawberry plants re ceive early attention, especially where a complete fertilizer is to be used. It has been the recomendation of the writer that at least 600 pounds of. 6-8-4 fertilizer be used per acre annually. Two hundred and fifty pounds of this should be used in early spring and the balance after the topping season. It is desirable that this be applied right away rather than later in the fall as many growers practiced. We want the growth to take place now. This fertil izer is made up to a large extent by nitrate of soda, or sulphate oi am monia which is very readily soluble. It is apparent, therefore, that after this is put on late in the fall, much of it will be leached out before the fol lowing spring. This;, of conrse, would not apply to the superphosphate and Cotash contained therein. The straw erry growers' fertilizer requirements should be made known at once to the purchasing agent, in order that the fertilizer -may be available promptly This fertilizer is applied in between the plants in a similar manner to that which.obtains for spring application.

No Hood River resident has dis played more enthusiasm or has shown greater results by his activity with radio than has Leonard Thomson, 16 year old son of Geo. W. Thomson. The young man has just completed the con struction of a receiving set that fur nishes himself, his family and many neighbors with much entertainment. Young Thomson, who has displayed an interest in mechanics since the days of small boyhood, built his receiv ing apparatus entirely. He purchased his material with his own money, and in three weeks' time he was tuning in each evening and picking up concerts all the way from the great broadcast ing station at Avalon, Calif., to Great Falls, Mont. He has heard Portland but once. He has tuned in, however, on Seattle. Young Thomson, who has construct ed a "loud speaker," into which he in serts one of his ear phones and gets fine results, built his entire outfit forj 570. It compares favorably with high priced commercial sets. The young man is preparing to make further im provements. When he has finished, he declares, he is going to have one of the best sets in the mid-Columbia. KOBERG SHIPPING RIPE TOMATOES John Koberg will begin the market ing of early tomatoes on a large scale this week. Mr. Koberg, who has won a wide reputation here for the develop ment of blight proof tomato species, is now working, on propagatiner earlier varieties for this section. This year he has distributed plants among- scores of Hood River amateur gardener;. He has offered a prize of $2.50 for the first ripe tomato. A variety that will give ua rine fruit a week or 10 days earlier than thoce now standard among commercial gardeners, will result in big earnings, for it is the early tomatoes, iust like the early berries and other fruits, that bring the big prices."
