GRASS AND WEEDS HARMFUL
Noxous Plants Consume Enormous Amount of Moisture Needed
 by Fruit Trees.

Grasses and weeds are enormous consumers of soil moisture, to say nothing of available plant food. The moisture content of the soil plays an important part in fruit production, an all-important part tn fact Unless there is an abundance of moisture, the quail ity of the fruit is certain to he affected, even though all other conditions are favorable. There are other reasons why the orchard soil should not be eX- pected to maintain an intercrop To any large extent Weeds and grasses often afford a hiding place for orchard pests at certain seasons of the year. Some forms of diseases may be propagated on them, even though kept off the trees during d majority of the year.

REMARKABLE COMEBACK
 BY AUT0MO1lVE INDUSTRY

A recent report of the United States Employment Service gives some indication of the amazing re- cuperative energy of the automotive industry according to a letter sent to all it's branches by the Firest6ne Company.
 , New motor vehicles led by far the manufacture, in its ratio, of any other means of transportation during the spring, while the industry far ex- ceeded others in the number of men and women added to pay rolls.
 In May, for example, automobile plants had over 25,O00 more men at work than in 1921 and in Detroit alone, according to the Firestone re- port, nearly 10000 more men were at work in all its factories than in the previous year.
 Akron, of course, leads easily in the number of men added to employ ment lists in the rubber industry and while there are not as many men on the payroll as in 1919 and 1920 it is actually making more tires than dur ing most of that period. Increased efficiency and reduced,waste accounts for this seeming paradox. At the same, time the. Akron City. Employ ment Bureau reports more calls for experienced help than it is able to care for. ....

who is an active member of the Auto. mobile Club of Missouri, and who was assisted in obtaining facts necessary for the preparation of this measure by the Automobile Club of Missouri and the A. A. A.
 Any doubt as to the need for such a measure is dissipated by the pres entation of the above figures which show material reduction in the per- centage of motor cars stolen since the law went into effect.
 Credit for the enforcement of this law which has resulted in such a large percentage of arrests, is largely due to William J. Burns, head of the bureau of Investigations department of justice. MT. Burns has given special attention to automobile thefts realizing the extent of this industry, for it had become an industry, and has placed some of his best operatives on these cases. .-...
 The outstanding feature of the Dyer law is the fact that. it places inter. stste transportation of stolen motor vehicles under federal law, and makes such an action punishable: in federal courts. Before the passage of this act there had been built up a great and growing traffic in stolen motor vehicles, conducted by bands of un- scrupplous men who maintained as- senibling factories at various points and who, through their ability to dis pose, parts of various machines, one to the other, were able to so alter 9 stolen car as to make it practically unrecognizable to the original owner.

State laws were inadequate to reach
 these men and the Dyer bill filled a long felt want. .i. At the present time officials of the A. A. A. are working in conjunction with federal officials and heads of other organizations in an endeavor to
 induce motor car manufacturers to permanently mark all automobiles so as to make Identification more easy. It is hoped that results along this line will be obtained in the near fu- ture. <i d. s# ,-
