'"The propaganda Of modern clean.

the farmers undaunted," according
to Secretary Mohler of the state
board Of agriculture. "They insist
that the broom shall survive, for q
year at least, against the progress Of
machinery. Assessors reports from
II counties show total Of 12,53S
acres planted to broom corn in 1922.
Last year the report recorded only
7,215 acres in the same counties.
The current report hardly doubles
the previous figures, yet there are 90
which have made no returns

from the "iaxseed" to deposit eggs
on the first volunteer wheat that
comes up after a good rain. The
eggs will hatch In from 3 to days

Infestation this fall will come

TIRES BETTER AND CHEAPER
Modern Advance In CONSTRUCTION
HELMS MOtOrjst

I'm but one other industry, !. e
that Of the automobile, has ther,
been SO great an era OF advance ant
improvement as in automobile tire,
manufactured by the standard com.
panies," said B. u. Freeman of ths
local Authorized Federal Tire Sales
Agency.
''In the early days Of the tire in
dustry, the demand naturally was
limited, cost Of production high, and
the secret Of building the present
day high mileage and quality into
the product had not been discovered.
Now leading plants like the Federal
adopt latest approved methods, ma
terially adding to quality of the pro-
duct and greatly reducing cost Of
production.
"This improvement has been
steady and uninterrupted, giving to
the motOrist not only a constantly
product at a steadily de-
creasing price, but with 1t too the
greatest improvement, OF all--the
Cord tire, with It's greater fexibility,
higher resiliency :, and high mileage
record. As the demand for Cord
tires increased, it proved that the
ordinary tube, used with fabric
tires, was not. well adapted to the
Cord casing with its oversize, its
greater strength and unusual fexi-
Dility, and this condition led to the
development Of a special tube to
meet this requirement---in reality a
Cord" tube, built thicker, larger
md stronger than regular tubes.
md with service more nearly equal
o that of the cord casing itself. The
additional mileage resulting from the
Ise of this tube makes 1t very at
ractive and economical proposition
o the car owner. No other commod-
ty gives such increased value at de- |
reased cost as In the tire market"
