RESPECT RIGHTS OF
OTHER, AVOID MISHAPS
tconunued from FIRST Page,

The operator is required to recog-
nize conditions which intensity risks
such as the circumstance of many
pedestrians being in the street, rainy
or icy conditions, the dangers at
crossWalks and places where it is
possible for a pedestrian to appear
suddenly in the path. Finally. if
there is anything in the argument OF
priority. let it be remember that
man was not created for the auto
mobile. but the automobile for man.
The pedestrian owes duty also. He
must exercise reasonable care for
his own safety. He must make reas-
enable use of his senses of sight and
hearing, give heed to ordinary indi-
cation of danger and not walk blind
ly into it. There are temptations
which assail many pedestrians. One
is to cross between blocks. Another
is to cross one way streets at the
wrong time and place. There are
other instances where pedestrians go
deliberately into the highway and
dodge cars to try to save time. When
Il man does this he courts death.

. AND 2 STILL MAKE 4

The national debt nears As billion
dollars and the President and Sec
retary of the Treasury want the debt
limit raised TO SO billion. Congress
says there's nothing doing"
, Another deadlock exists over the
l5G million dollars that the Presi-
dent asks for the WPA. Congress
holds il hack.
Congress has been in session
about months. and even though It
does heartily disagree with the Pres
ident on lot of things, 1t votes ap-
preparations easily enough for things
like armament. relief. etc. When
spending is so literally authorized
il means that the taxpayers will have
to put up the money and that it will
have to be appropriated.
President Roosevelt must be doing
some inward chuckling at the way
Congress is playing into his hand.
The new independent" Congress
needs to learn that and 2 make 4.
So far Congress is saving only small
change.

KENT FRUIT GROWERS
RECEIVE SPRAY NOTES
tcontlnuso from r1rst sAse,

Apple scab control depends al
most entirely upon thorough and
timely coverage of the foliage and
fruit, and in this connection grow
ers should remember that leaves
may double or even triple their size
in the early stages of their develop
ment with a period of a few warm
days. In preparation for this situ-
alton, therefore, growers should
have on hand enough liquid lime sui
fur, aotation sulfur, or any other
material they are planning to use,
in order that as many as three scab
applications may be made in rather
rapid succession.
With reference to peach orchards,
this is the time to take the first step
to control curculio, as woodlands
and waste fields adjacent to peach
paintings should be burned fer a
distance of from 200 to 300 yards
from the orchard. Growers are war
ned, however. to use every possible
precautiOn in burning such areas,
and this should be done in accord
ance with the regulations of the
State Forestry Department.
In orchards where brown rot was
prevalent last year. and where peach
mGmmies and cankers have not been
destroyed a wettable sulfur (tiOta-
tiOn paste 10 pounds. or dry wettable
sulfur as pounds per 100 gallons
of spray) should be applied when
about one-half of the blossoms are
out. If rainy weather should occur |
" hen half of the flowers are Oren,
peach orchards should he busted
" ith a busting sulfnr as precau-
iionarV measure.

THE FOOD STAMPS

The food stamp experiment will be
tried in a half dozen cities. ANY re-
lief family may take the stamps, OF
refuse them. A family takes SIG OF
Orange-colOred stamps and buys
food, and as a bonus gets SO in blue
stamps, also good for food purchases:
Supposedly, the family receives SIS
in extra food which costs them
nothing. and supposedly this in
creases consumption. This supposed
ly reduces the costs OF Govern
ment. and justifies giving away this
surplus food. The merchant gets the
So and 1t is cash at the bank for
him. He, at least, is safe in the
food-stamp experiment.
If this scheme works out in a
half dozen cities it will be made ma
tiOnal. If it is a flop Secretary Wal
lace may be depended upon to revise
1t, or give us something new.
Sounds like stomach-pumping! It's
simple, too.
