ALLOWANCES LIBERAL.

No sooner than the trade i'm pol
lev was announced than motorists
who long have been haunted by the
spectre OF new tire buying, swOo2ed
down on the dealers and took i'd
vantage of their proposition. As a
result, the tire business has staged
an unusual upward trend during the
last week.
Allowances on old tires have b..
come very liberal because of the in
tense competition between ruDDer
dealers and the tire buyer is capitallz'
ing on the fight. Those dealers who
have not taken mp the trade in
scheme have had to make big price
cuts to keep abreast.
TRADE IN" LOGICAL.
The @trade in" proposition is en-
tirely legitimate, dealers declare. The
old tires taken in on the new can
be recOnditioncd. just as used cars
traded in on new are rcCOnditlOnHd.
They then are sold at price that
enables the tire dealer TO get back the
allowance value.
Some dealers put the used tires on
the market in the same condition they
are received and sell them without
losing money.
Cut prices and "trade ms have
brought on an amount Of activity IN
"rrhbcr row" that usually does not
come until May.

Pests and Diseases Are
Chief Orchard Enemies

Insects land fungous diseases are
the chief enemies of orchards and may
work more damage than even a heavy
frost, declares w. f. Pickett, horticul-
tural specialist at the Kansas State
Agricultural college. Spraying is the
best means to combat these orchard
Ills, Pickett insists.
Among the most common cures for
the insect pests is the lead arsenate
method of stomach poisoning. 1t Is
given for insects like the cooling moth
which bites out and swallows parts of
plants. 1t is commonly purchased In
the powder form and then diluted on
the basis of 1 to IL pounds of powder
to SO gallons of water. Other good
stomach poisons are as follows: Oil
emulsion for the San Jose scale; nico-
tine sulphate for the aphid or plant
lice type Of insect that have sucking
mouths; lime-sulphur, recommended
for the home orchardist.
Nicotine sulphate can be purchased
from drug stores with proper direc-
items for its use. Complete directions
tor the use of each Of these sprays is

No Weak Pitchers Ever
Face Backstop Deberry

1t is not often that a ball player
pleads for more work. He may ask
for more money, more food, more rest
and surprise no one, but the other day
Hank Deberry, the always-wise and
often witty catcher Of the Brooklyn
team, came forth with the statement
that he wanted to work more often.
Last year I caught about fifty
games" he said. "Thirty-two of those
were games in which Vance pitched,
and when Daz pitches you can always
find the best men on the other club
pitching too. Consequently in more
than half the games I played 1 had to
bat against the best pitchers in the
league. I'd like a chance once in a
while to fatten my batting average on
some Of the easy ones"
There seems logic in Hanks argu-
ment, but the fact remains that he
will continue to catch when Vance Is
in the box, for Vance and Deberry are
as closely allied as ham and eggs or
salt and pepper.

CANNED APRICOTS,
PEACHES AND PEARS
Useful for Many Tempting
Desserts and Salads.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
There are so many uses for home
canned peaches, pears, and, IL you hap
pen to have them, for apricots, that
1t Is well worth while to can a gener-
GUS supply of these good fruits, espe-
cially IL you have a homegrown sur
plus. In some markets it may even
pay to buy peaches and pears for can
ming. In addition to their use as
breakfast fruits, there are many
tempting desserts and salads that can
be evolved with canned peaches or
pears as basis-fruit mixtures, gela-
tin desserts, combinations with ice
cream or whipped cream, pastry, and
plain canned fruit with cake or
cookies.
These fruits may all be canned in
a water-bath. There are slight differ
ences in the preparation of each fruit
for canning, and in the time of proc
essing, but the general method Is
about the same
Before preparing the fruit make a
thin or medium strip to pour over 1t
In the Jars. For a thin strip put one
part of sugar into three parts of water
and bring to the boiling point; for a
medium strip use one part of sugar
to two parts of water. The choice Of
strip depends on personal taste and
the sweetness OF the fruit you are
using. In making the strip for
peaches, an unusually fine flavor Is
obtained by boiling a few cracked
peach pits in the strip for five min
utes.
; Use only clean sound fruit, and can
it as soon after picking as possible.
To remove the skin from peaches and
apricots, scald them and then dip them
into cold water. If you are canning
very large quantity of peaches, the
I've method of removing the skins may
be used Directions for doing this are
given in Farmers Bulletin 1471-F,
Canning Fruits and Vegetables at
Home" Send to the United States De-
partment of Agriculture for it. After
1t has been peeled, cut the fruit into
halves or smaller pieces and remove
the pits. Pack at once, placing the
halves in overlapping layers, the con-
cave surface of each half downward.
Fill up the containers with boiling sir
up. Process quart and pint glass
Jars for 25 minutes In boiling water
If the fruit Is fairly hard and firm, or
for 20 minutes If 1t is ripe and tender.
Process No. and No. 8 tin cans for
Is minutes.
Select firm sound pears that are not
overripe. Pare, quarter or halye them
and cook in boiling strip for four to
eight minutes, according to the size and
-ripeness Of the fruit. This precook-
ing makes the hard varieties Of pears
pack better. Pack the pears hot into
containers and fill them up with boil
ing strip. Process containers of all
sizes for 20 minutes in boiling water
