Dodge Brothers in recognition of this re- markahle record have given Brownell a life time agreement for the sale of podSe products.
 With past filled with glory and success the popular Birmingham firm has gain demonstrated its ability to sell a good automobile in such qu9dtities that the re gistration shows Lat Dodge cars stand next to Fords On sales records and is striking in cication of the confidence that the public has in Brownell Auto com pany and the Dodge car and the serv- ice given.
 The Brownel1 companp has been ln business in Birmtn gham ever since January, 1911, under the same man agement since its inception and will undoubtedly remain so, which is per haps another reason that Dodge Brothers did not question the idea of signing up with this firm for d life time franchise. Tho members of the Brownen organization are par ticU!arly gratified over this agree ment. because of the usual rule of large manufacturers of signing for only one year for a franchise.
 The Brownell firm also has the dis trction of operating the largest shop in Birmingham servicing only one make of motor cars. The service men are all trained to the needs of the Dodge car and render a service that Is highly efficient and helpful to the owner.

JORDAN CAR IS
 CONTAMINATED

Several days ago the branch man ager for certain popular motor car manufa cturer in a large city, in talk to his organization, paid the Jordan car remarkable compliment" said P. R. Mccormack of Mccormack Bros.
 During his address to his organ ization this gentleman, who certainly ought to know motor cars, had oC- casion to remark that the Jordan was one of AmeriCa's seven finest cars This, notwithstanding the unusually low price at which the Jordan sells
 Ut is also interesting to note that

the Jordan has at least one of the outstanding points of construction used in every one of the other six finest cars. This is doubly interest ing when one considers that the prices of the other six cars ranges as high as Sl0.00O. while the Jordan sells for only $l,675. Not only Is the Jordan constructed of the best ma teriaIs available, but each unit is so well co-ordinated with all other units that the life of the car is great lv heightened. Bal Pape at McCOr- mack Bros. believes that the present shortage of Jordans is due to the fact that the public is just beginning to realize that they can get fine car performance in the Jordan at e re- markedly low price,

INTERESTING EXPERIMENT
WITH APPLE ORCHARD

An increase of two boxes Of ap-
pies per tree was obtained by A.
J. Linnestead of Vdshon, through
the use of 212 pounds of nitrate of
soda for each tree. This is re-
suit of a demonstration planned
by the State College in co-opera-
ton with the King county agrl=
cultural agent.
The experiment was started IN
the spring of 1921, Eighty Bald
win trees in a block We're treated
as follows: Two rows with nitrate
of soda and acid phosphate; two
rows with nitrate Of soda and muir
late of potash; two rows check
two rows acid phosphate and muir
late of potash, and finally two
rows check.
During the summer OF 1921
there was no apparent difference
in the growth. In the fall OF
that year, however, and in the
early spring Of 1922, there was an
apparent increase in the number
of fruiting buds on the rows that
received nitrate Of soda This
was brought out very strikingly
at blooming time, when the nit
rate treated trees We're found to
have a much heavier bloom than
the others.
Last fall Mr.. Linnestead har-
vested all trees separately and the
report shows that all those re-
ceiving no nitrate of soda aver
aged 3.4 boxes per tree, while
those that got 212 pounds of nit
rate of soda yielded 5,4 boxes pei
tree.
AT four cents pound for fer
tilier and allowing ample for the
cost of putting it ON, it is found
that it cost about 20 cents per
tree and in return the orchardist
got two boxes of apples.
Another test of interest to west
side fruit men is being carried OIL
by Mr.. LinncStad. He seeded one,
half of his orchard to vetch and
turned it under in the spring OF
1922. The result of this test will
be available next fall.

BERRY LEAF PESTS MAY
BE A SERIOUS MENACE
BY Arthur Frank
Plant PathoIogiSt, Western Wash.

''''N ! "'ii'lVS 'St, w 'HltlH w ASH
mgton Experiment Station
The "spittlc bugs are appear
ing already ON strawberries and
other plants. Last season these in
sccts were very abundant and they
may be expected to do some dam,
age where there are very many OF
them present.
When the first evidences Of the
forth are seen the insects are very
young and yellowish looking
Spray them at once with good
dose of Black Leaf at the rate of
one teaSpoonful to about one gal.
Ion Of water, plus one ounce of
soap or gold dust.
Spray with a good force so that
the insects themselves are drench.
ed with the spray. When they in
fest plants where they can be
reached they may be hand picked.
The spittle bugs belong to the
class of insects known as leaf
hoppers, They are larger and more
active than the common or small
leaf hopper which we have here so
abundantly. The small insects
within the spittle are bodied
and form the spittle for their pro-
lection until full grown.
The insects molt several times
and at the final molt they acquire
wings. They then leave the spit
tie and spend the remainder of
the season on foliage sucking the
juice Of various plants.
Tent Caterpillar.
This season many reports are
coming in OF the work Of tent
caterpillars in the western part of
the state
When the tents are seen or
when they gather in punches on
the trunks start the work of eradi-
cation at once. Now, when the
caterpillars are just started the
best way is to spray the trees
with lead arSenate at the rate Of
one pound of arsenate to about
10 gallons of water. This coats
the surface of the leaves with the
poison so that when the caterpil-
lars spread out over the tree to
feed, they will take some of the
poison with the food material
Then they die from the effects.
Burning out the nests when the
caterpiIlars are in them is also a
good practice. All steps should
be taken to check this pest as
soon as possible The various
parasites of the tent caterpillar
will also be working in destroying
them as long as the weather is
warm and dry.
