DOD6eB Brothers
COUPE

You will realize, the moment you see this coupe, how
perfectly it fulfills a very real need.
It was designed and built by Dodge Brothers IN
response to that need-long- standing and often
expressed by people in all parts of the world.
With Dodge Brothers chassis as a starting point 1t
only remained to create a coupe body which would
unite the usual coupe refnements with greater light
ness, hardihood and economy.
The world now knows how this was accomplished.
An entirely new precedent in closed car construction
was established. The body is built of steel.
Moreover, the deep comfortable seat is upholstered
in genuine leather. The doors are exceptionally wide
The rear compartment will hold a small steamer
trunk and other luggage. The enamel, baked on the
steel at high temperature is readily restored, after
hard usage, to it's original lustre.
In every detail the car reflects the purpose OF the
buihders-to makeit practical car of universal appeal

PUT TREES ON WASTE SPOTS
Conditions Demand That All Land
Should Produce Something
Trees Are Favored.

Modern conditions demand that all
the wastes and leaks be eliminated
and this means that all the land
should produce something. 1t is not
always possible TO make every portion
of the farm area yield annual crops
but In such cases one may wisely and
profitably try trees. If one-twentieth
of each farm tract were set aside for
forestry, In time there would be Tim
Der TO spare.

along our many rivers and streams
are fit for little else. and hill land
that is very stony may be planted 10
post-timber trees with much profit
Black locust and catalpa are the most
profitable for posts, the locust being
given the preference on account OF
its manner of growth being smoother
and the quality Of timber the very
best.

ALASKA VARIETY VERY RISKY
All Plants Must Ripen Uniformly and
All Pods Must Be in Usable Con-
dition at One Time-Other
Canning Crops.

Prepared by the United states Department
OF Agriculture
Mixed or impure stock, under mod
ern methods of harvesting and han
ding the pea crop for canning may
result in the introduction of undesir-
able seed which may ruin the entire
output of canning factory. says the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. The Gamer should buy direct
from the seed-growing scotsman rath-
er than from a iobber. Particularly
in the case of smooth Alaska peas,
which furnish % per cent of the
canned peas on the market, there is
risk taken if Gamer buys seed the
history of which cannot be traced.
The Gamer is in much safer position
IL he buys only from seed growers
who control their own stocks.
Must Be Productive.
To be a good canning pea, variety
must, first of all, be productive all
plants must ripen uniformly; all pods
on individual plants must be in disable
condition at one tlme-that is, none
must be too ripe or too immature; the
peas must remain green after process
ing. The Introduction of the vlner,
which eliminates Manipulating OF the
pods, has had a decided influence on
the varieties OF peas used for can
ming.
The return on a planting Of peas
for seed is far less than that on either
corn or tomatoes, two other impor-
tant canning crops, and the utmost
care Is necessary throughout the
growth of the seed crop 10 discover
and weed out undesirable types Of vol
unteer plants or those due 10 ware
house mixture, SO as 90 keep the stock
uniform. The scotsman sows about
three bushels of peas per acre, getting
