SIX NEW GO-HP
 PLANTS TO OPEN
Will Occupy Strategic Lo- cations Around Bir-
 minghaTn

Six new Go-Zip filling stations, to occupy strategic locations in the busi- ness and residence sections of Bir- mingham will be erected within the next few months ih the General Oil's corporations program of expansion under which 1t is planned that Co., Zip service will be extended to practi- cally every part\ of Birmingham and environs according to announcement Saturday.
 Every one of these new buildings will be an artistic gem-conforming to the colonial type of architecture which is being used in all of our service sta ticns," said Mir. Gregory Johnston, Sat urday. When we first began to build stations. in the residence districts we encountered some opposition from prop built, we have had residents in the vicinity come to us and state that they considered the stations an asset rather than a detriment to their property
 August sales records of Go-Zip, through Saturday showed 20 per cent increase over July, which was the previous high month in the history of the General Oil corporation, according to Mir. Johnston. Among the stations in the residence sections, the Woodlawn plant at First avenue and Fifty-eighth street, leads in sales, with the attrac- tive station at Avenue c and Twenty eighth street running it close second"
 An interesting sidelight on Go-Zip performance was given the General Oil corporation this week in report from MT. Roy Summers of the Summers Transfer and Storage company, 6412 First avenue. This company operates eight trucks and two pleasure cars. MT. Summers reported that he had tried practically every motor fuel on the market, and kept a careful check on mileage. He stated that his trucks formally used 325 gallons per week. With Go-Zip he reported that the same amount of motor fuel lasted eleven days-praetically a 20 per cent increase in nileage.'

spray that has arsenic in it? M. N., Thorsby, Ala.
 A. Yes you can use as much as teaspoonful of the nicotine to the gal lon mixture and it is-a great help whether for leaf eating insects or most any disease.
 o. We want to grow for shipment to northern markets spinash and our farmers would like to know the best variety to plant? W. w., Flomaton, Alabama.
 A. It would be a good idea to con suit the dealers in the market you ex- pect to ship. The Bloomsdale or Savoy variety is the most resistant to cold, but other sorts, while not so hardy, are much larger and very desirable. See special letter on the subject for the full details asked for.
 o. There is q worm or bug that is bothering the sweet potato crop by roll ing up the leaves. Will they do suffi- cient damage to justify spraying and what must we use? l.. J., Clanton, Alabama.
 A. The leaf roller will do much dam age unless prompt measures are taken. Dust or spray the vine at week in- tervals with arsenicals or any poison recommended for foliage eating insects.
 o. I have some fine onion sets that I grew myself. Will these do to put out now to produce winter spring onions? T. F.. Camphill, Ala.
 A. Yes, the sets are all right. The hot dry weather makes it little too early to set out, as they would not up under such conditions but the chances are they would not hurt to allow to remain dormant for a while.
 o. Is there a hardy type of the cam phor and Oleander that I could grow in the open ground in my section? Mrs. O., Columbus, Miss.
 A. There is doubt about this. A temperature as low as 15 degrees above zero will generally kill down to the ground. There may be some hardy types that would stand, but 1 am not familiar with such.

face of the moon, if these are not as- cribed to clouds, they should be ex- ,plained by animal rather than by yege- table life. When the dark body ac- tually moves over or across the sur face, this may perhaps be so, but here we have instead, case of growth rath- CT than actual translation. Where growth depends on temperature, as is the case in most parts of our earth out side of the tropics, vegetation devel- ops in large areas all at once, but where growth depends on moisture, as, for instance, in the Nile Valley and on the moon, the Mars, we may have Il progressive growth, dependent on the speed of transference of the fertilizing moisture.

EVIDENCE OF LIFE ON MOONg

Astronomer Believes Not Only Plants,
 But Animals Exist On Satellite
 The belief that there are planets
 md animals no the moon, making it o some extent alive instead of a dead dead world, has been held for many years by Professor w. H. Pickering of Harvard. His latest observations, which he thinks even show seasonal changes on our satellite, are described in Popular Astronomy. In certain cases, he says, the growth of mark ings is so rapid, that a slight change in lunar physical conditions, in diff ferent lunations, produces an appre- ciable difference in the appearance of the spots. He writes: N
 '"The lunar atmosphere is so rare that it does not seem possible that there can be weather on the moon, in the sense that we have it here, al- though the larger clouds do shift their places somewhat, and the smaller ones, which we call cloudlets, occur some times in one place and sometimes in another at the same colongitude. Prac- tically all the moisture on the moon comes, we believe, from its interior. While we believe that the changes that we observe in the fields, plats and runs are due mainly to the growth and devel- opment of vegetation, we must never theless not neglect the fact that some of these changes may also be in part due to shifting clouds.
 Tt may appear that when we ob- serve actual motions occurring on the

BIG BUSINESS
 ON ESSEX COACH
Open Car Cost For Closed Car
 Comfort Claim

"It is the issue of closed car com forts at open car costs which has brought such exceptional success to the Essex six coach this year," said A. R. Pryor of the Pryor Motor company, distributor for Hudson and Essex cars. Mir. Pryor continued
 Already 25 per cent more Essex sixes have been manufactured and sold this year than were produced of the popular Essex 'fours' in all of 1923. That is doubly amazing, because 1923 was itself Q record-breaking year and because nearly every other maker of cars has been forced this year to cut down his volume.
 But the Essex six coach, offering six-cylinder advantages and closed car comforts at an extraordinarily moder- ate price, has arisen above all trade conditions and difficulties and has been the outstanding success of the year.
 "Let me recite few facts about this Essex coach First, it is larger and roomer than any previous model. Sec ond, it is equipped with genuine full size balloon tires which give it riding ease which cannot be adequately de scribed-must be experienced. Third, it will out perform the highest expecta, tions of it's owners-in smoothness, quietness, marvellous pickup and climb ing ability.
 "All these advantages are offered in a six-cylinder enclosed car which sells at just about the price of an open four
 '"The public's answer to such value has been a capacity demand all year long.
 "Now, with balloon tires added, and with a design which easily handles all the operating conditions which these tires bring about, the coach is more popular than ever. When you consider that the especial closed car seasons of the year-fall and winter-are almost on us, you can see why we are so op- timistic about the Essex coach.
 Especially we invite all former Els sex owners to inspect this present car. We know that they all regard their cars

states, through the use of which, soil fertility can be maintained indefinitely and may through diversification and rotation of crops, be made to serve the purpose of reducing the fertilizer bill.
 Pays To FertiIize Legumes
 Every planter is beginning to realize the importance of the leguminous plants in renovating and building up the soil, and inasmuch as such plants are able to utilize and store up air nitrogen 1t is properly supposed that such plants do not need CT cannot be economically fertilized. It is a fact that such plants will give a good account of themselves on very poor soil and without the ap- plication of commercial plant foods, but those who have made the experiment can testify to the fact that the help of commercial plant foods in moderate quantities certainly justifies the at- ending expense. It is desirable and eco- nomical to not only fertilize such plants, bus to cultivate them like such crops 1s q Tn and cotton. It iS often neces- Sary to fertilize to give the plants q start in life and the influence of com mercial plant foods or any other fer tilizer is always manifested in growth throughout the life of the plant an is big factor in the resulting crop To secure the greatest benefit to the soil in growing the fertilizer plants, it will always pay to stimulate them with at least a moderate application of com. mercial fertilizers.
 Money In Pecans
 There are tons of literature now be. ing circulated throughout the country by owners, optional owners, plain grafters, telling the suckers how cheap land may be secured in Che gulf states which, if set out in paper shell oceans will bring the purchaser a fortune in few years. It is astonishing how many real hard headed business men and skilled workmen bite at such bunk In all the southern states, particularly the counties that border the gulf, may be found. thousands of abandoned or. chards, a monument to the doctrine that a sucker is born every minute Instead of one every minute, it would be nearer the truth to make it hun, cred. As a matter of fact, tEere is some real money in the pecan growing business, but in order to realize it one must have patience and experience, 10 to 20 years of painstaking care and cul. tivation before realizing the fortune that the average pecan literature would have you believe. Some literature will tell you that oceans are free from and not subject to insects and disease when tha real facts are that there is perhaps no ether crop so uncertain, dut chiefly t9 tho attack of a multitude of ir2ect and disease enemies. Non-residents better let oceans alone.

investigations revealing q new use for the well known Bermuda grass is made clearer. The economical use of the clover set forth by the writer in bulletin No. is explained in all tho de- tails that stamp the plant as one of the south's most valuable legumes. The value of carpet grass, related species of Bermuda, is clearly shown in comparison with other native plants, such as melilotus, .paspalum, lespedeza, and some other species of grasses and clovers. To summarize: While the south lies out of the range of natural adaptability for various species of the red clover family, there are other clovers and grasses, peculiar to the cli- matic conditions that obtain in the Gulf
