Timeliness is of great importance
for the success of all orchard spray
ing work. The importance of act
ing quickly if the work is done this
cannot be over emphasized.
Most farm papers carry the ad-
vertisement of firms dealing in both
spray machinery and.spray materi-
ais. Those interested in the subject
of spraying should consult these ad-
vertisements, or this information
will be given by the Department of
Horticulture, University of Missouri
upon request. The Department is
also prepared to furnish detailed in
formation as to the time of applica-
ton, amounts to use and other points

ascent of Pixies Peak by battle tanks

Save the Spirit

When the war was on, and ap-
peal after appeal swept the country
our people responded nobly TO
every call for aid. Regardless Of
previous charity every good move
ment must be aided, and the inau-
guration Of any war movement
meant its speedy success.
The war is practically over. Our
boys are drifting home again. Our
tasks Of peace are being taken up.
War paint is removed from the
ships and guns, uniforms are re-
placed by civilian attire and we
fear the spirit of generosity will be
driven off by a renewed selfishness.
Let us strive to keep up the public
spirited campaigns. let Us seek fine
aims for our money and get togeth.
er to raise the necessary funds.
The war has shown how a COM
munity can pull together. Thous-
ands Of dollars poured out OF our
country for bonds, Red Cross ana

poorer? The city or county which
keeps alive this good feeling, this
open generosity. is certain to pro-
gress.

Orchard Spraying

Missouri orchardists have found
spraying indispensable to the pro
duction of good fruit. For an or.
chard of fifteen or twenty to two or
three hundred trees, a good barrel
outfi. should be provided, says
v. R. Gardner of the University of
Missouri College of Agriculture.
This consists of a good strong spray
pump mounted 10 a heavy barrel
and provided with a cut off or valve
to control the flow of the spray ma
terials, a lead of good strong hose
twelve or fifteen feet long, an ex-
tension rod eight or ten feet long,
and a suitable nozzle. A good bar.
rel outfit of this sort together with
all of the accessories may be obtain
ed for S25 or $50. Nearly all of
the manufacturers of spraying equip
ment are prepared to furnish outfits
of this type. With good care. such
an outfit will last for many years
and with it good efficient work may
be done. No one with home or
chard of even twelve or fifteen good
size trees should be without an out
fit of this kind. The fruit obtained
from such q small orchard during a
single average season would more
than pay the cost of the outfit.
Fortunately it is necessary for
the fruit growers to provide them
selves with only two or three kinds
Of spraying materials. 10 most
cases a supply of arsenate of lead
and of lime sulphur is sufficient to
control satisfactorily the common
insects aud diseases of the orchard
AS the spraying season is close at
hand, all those who contemplate
spraying should provide themselves

Being close coupled to the iIuple-
ment, the Moline-Universal Tractor
backs as readily as it goes forward,
and turns in a 16-foot circle. 1t
steers so easily that boy or woman
can handle it as well as a man.
With the Moline e-Universat one
man can take care of all the require
ments on the average size farm.
Flowing with two-bottoms, the
Moline Universal Tractor does as
much work in one day as the ordi-
nary three-plow tractor, due to the
higher speed at which it operates, 3H
miles an hour. 1t has the power to
run at this high speed because all of
its weight is traction weight--an of
it is converted to pull
The light weight of the Moline
Universal Tractor, $3.50 pounds, and
its high clearance-greater than that

perfectly adapted for cultivating. 1t
isn't the kind of tractor that does
your blowing and seed bed prepara-
ton and then rests while your horses
do the planting, cultivating and har-
Vesting.
Mechanically, the Moline Univer-
sal is the most modern tractor built,
containing more rehnements and i'm
provements than any other tractor on
the market.

Pershins Route

With the Incorporation under the
laws of Missouri as the Pershing
Transport Route. the Pixies Peak
Ocean to Ocean Highway Associa-
tion has taken the first step in its
campaign for national recognition
as a military route. Contrary to
plans of other highway bodies to
adopt the name. the Pixies Peak
organization has the cabled consent
of General j. j. Pershing. from
France, which was received shortly
after the annual meeting, held at
St. Joseph, decided to adopt this
name. General Pershine cabled
that he would consent to have the
name used, in order that the high
way could be a permanent memori-
al, from coast, Of the men who laid
down their lives in France.

has attempted to use the name. the

No Great Enthusiasm

The suggestion that President
Wilson be nominated for a third
term is not evokingi great enthusi-
asm. or evidence of general support
10y his admirers throughout the
country. Whenever the third term
has been advanced in the past it
has been rejected, as it is more than
likely to be in the future There is
always the thought that if three
terms ere permitted. why not four?
And if four, why not a life term?
The American people simply won't
support a third term. however much
they may admire and trust the Can
didate, and we fear that if an at
tempt is made in this direction it
will result as before. in the defeat

With the Moline Universal-the
original two-wheel tractor-One Man
can farm more land than was ever
before possible, because
One Man has power at his COM
mand equal to six horses, capable of
doing the work of nine horses, due
to its greater speed and endurance.
One Man operates the Moline Uni
versal from the seat of the imple-
ment to which it is attached, where
he must sit in order to do good work.
One Man can start in the spring
and go from one operation to an
other-plowing, narrowing, planting,
cultivating, sowing, harvesting grain
or corn, spreading manure, filling the
silo, cutting wood, ETC., doing all
farm work from one years end to
another, independently of horses or
hired help.
All these one-man operations are
possible with the Moline Universal
because it is mounted on two wheels.
1t attaches direct to the implement,
making one compact unit--the trac-
tor the front wheels and the imple-
ment the rear wheels. One man con-
trolls the entire outfit from the seat
of the implement. There has been
good reason IN the past for putting a
seat on implements, for it is from
this point that the work must be
observed and that adjustments must
be made.

jority of these men laid up for a
rainy day." there were thousands
who did not heed the warning. con-
seQuently the signing Of the armis-
tice and the sudden shutting down
of war Industries came as dire
catastrophe to them. The easy
shifts and high wages disappeared
before their eyes like the little round
ball in the three shell game. And

In view of this very condition, the
big reconstruction convention is to
be held at Portland on the 9th, 10th

must the returning soldier be cared

less than ninety days from broke, by

STEAM ROLLER COMING

One of the Inconsistencies of Mr..
Gompers and his organizations is the
attitude of demanding the highest
wages and shortest hours in the
world and in the same breath advo-
eating that American industries be
left unprotected and at the mercy of
world competition which is not gov
erned by high wages and short hours.
Already the press dispatches show
that millions of dollars of orders
with American firms have been can
celled by South American countries
because we haven't the ships to de-
liver goods and our freight rates are
double.
China, now that the ship embargo
has been raised, is beginning to pour
its beans and rice into this country.
The same will apply to sugar and
hundreds OF other articles.
Call it tariff or protection Of in
dustry or anything you like, If Am
erican industry is to maintain its
present scale OF wages and hours,
protection from foreign competition
in some form must be evolved.
A too high cost of production,
however, even though protected, will
shut us out of foreign markets as
we cannot compete in price.
Artificial standards have been
raised in this country while we were
shut off from world competition but
the day is rapidly approaching when
we must get back to normal basis
even IL some rulings of wage fixing
boards and price fixing committees
have to give way.
The old law OF supply and demand
will soon have it's steam roller al
work and 1t is no respecter Of man
made regulations and Mr.. Gompers
and all lis followers can't vary the

course OF the roller.

STATE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

The Oregon State Chamber of
Commerce, organized at Portland on
December IL, promises to become a
useful unit in the future welfare of
the state. George Quayle, general
secretary of the organization, has
been busy the past few days getting
in touch with the secretaries of the
various chambers of commerce over
the state, and in a letter to these
secretaries he outlines the aims of
the statewide association as follows:
He assures US that the organiza-
tion will not be controlled by Port
land, for the reason that but two of
the fifteen directors are Portland
men. Neither are the officers Port
land men, with the exception of one
vice president. 1t is non-political
and every county in the state is said
to be represented. Charles Hall, of
Marshfield, is president of the or
ganization and F. S. Bramwell, Of
Grants Pass, is one of the three vice
presidents. Mr.. Quayle says of the
organization:
'It is formed for the purpose Of
encouraging development of the ma
tural resources of the State of Ore
gon, and the trade and commercial
intercourse between the different
parts of this state and between this
state and contiguous territory, and
also with foreign countries, and OF
promoting cooperation between
chambers Of commerce, commercial
industrial, agricultural, and other or
ganizations, increasing their effici-
ency and extending their usefulness.
1t is intended to secure cooperate
action in advancing the common pur-
poses of its members, uniformity and
equity in business usages and laws
and proper consideration and concen-
tration Of opinion upon questions af-
fecting financial, commercial, agri
cultural, civic and Industrial inter.
ests Of the state"
The next meeting of the chamber
will be held in Portland on January
II, that being the last day Of the ir.
rigation congress convention.

A newspaper, appealing to the SOL
diers and other men to return to the
farms, says: "The man who works
for wages is generally ready for the
scrap heap at the age of 40 or As.
He is less than 80 days from broke"
The same might be said of many
men engaged in business. It's cruel
world, unless you look at 1t from the
optimist's viewpoint.
