DID YOU EVER STOP
TO THINK
BY Edison r. Waite


That no greater service can be rend-
cred the public by business concerns
than the use of liberal advertising
space in newspapers.
Newspaper advertisements are the
place where opportunity knocks with
no uncertain hand. They are sum-
mons to save and will show you where
to buy the best at less.
You will find courteous, friendly
service at the stores that advertise in
this newspaper.
Its advertisers are rendering you a
service that is worthy Of your every
consideration.
Advertising is profitable service to
both buyer and seller. 1t not only
saves money for the buyer, but creates
volume in sales for the advertiser,
which makes quick turnover in stock
so they always have new offerings for
the public.
Newspaper advertising is winning
victories day by day by building new
business for those who use its aid.
If you want to save in buying, read
the advertisements.

THE FAT MEMS CLUB

Recently, in one of our cities, the jolly
fat men formed club and adopted a
platform prohibiting any form Of diet.
A pleasant time was had by all and, so
long as the human machine stands the
strain, they will continue to enjoy
their favorite form of amusement
eating. However, it seems to be well
established that the lean live longer
than the fat. Health authorities have
sufficient data to make this statement.
But it is safe to say that the attrac-
tons on the well laden table will con-
tinue to take their toll of shortened
life, said statement from the Public
Health League of Washington.
There can be no question that food
and diet represent very popular topic
of conversation, not limited to the
feminine contingent. The matter is
discussed in the newspapers, the adver-
tisements and in magazine articles. But

features of this billa How it would
create another taxing body to add to
the already heavy burden of taxation
in this state? How a board of three
commissioners could plunge the dis

WESTERN ORCHARDS NEED COVER
CROPS

Western Washington orchardists can
adopt no cultural practice which will
benefit their orchards more than a
good fall cover crop, says j. T. Bregger,
extension horticulturalist, Washington
State College Owing to the fact that
irrigation is not practlced during the
growing season, the cover crop In the
spring is at disadvantage and clean
cultivation must ordinarily be resorted
to. However, the benefits to be deriv-
ed for cover crop in the fall are Just as
great as in the Eastern Washington
orchard.
Fall or winter cover crops are boon
to orchards in many ways. In the
first place, when the fall rains are
started something is needed to hold
the land together and keep 1t from
washing and teaching. These plants
also absorb many valuable nitrates and
plant food which would otherwise be
leached out by the rains. In some
cases cover crops have been known
to aid in the prevention of fall growth
of the trees, holding them In good con-
dition for withstanding the winter
temperatures.
The cover crop performs Its great
est service In the spring when 1t is
plowed under and puts new life into
the soil with It's humus and heterogeneous
content. A lebume cover crop is, of
course, the big contributor of nitrates.
Legume crops in addition to adding
humus also gather up much of the
loose plant food in the soil which
would otherwise be leached and washed
away by the fall rains.
AS soon as the fall rains have started
and there is sufficient moisture in the
soil, the cover crop should be sown.
There should be at least enough mois-
ture to start its growth In the spring
1t should be plowed under before the
last heavy rain which might be several
months before the end of the normal
rainy season. Cultivation should then
continue until the end of the rainy
season.
The kind of cover crop to use de-
ponds largely upon the locality and the
growers preference. Rye and vetch
make a fine combination in many
orchards. Winter wheat or barley, and
sometimes rye grass, may be substitute
ed for the rye. A new lebume which
seems to offer many possibilities is the
Austrian winter field pea. AT the pre-
sent time this is being used quite ex-
tensively in the Willamette valley,
Oregon.
Nearly all the orchards in Western
Washington will benefit from cover
crops, including appls, sour cherry,
filbert orchards and others. The light
er soils of the sandy or gavelly type
are particularly aided by the humus
which is supplied by good cover crop.

Company Wants to be Favorably Known

director of public relations, outlined
