Thar means a good healthy side dressing of Chilean
Soda. Because it is natural plant food, it’s got plenty
of nitrate and small amounts of other plant food ele
ments naturally blended with it. They’re not added.
They’re there, blended by nature.
So give your crops a natchel side dressing. "Dat’s

the pictures.
Two low water bridges have

The “Sky Rocket” Road, engi

a temporary road that was used
by this camp as an outlet during
the period chat the highway be
tween Modoc and Edgefield was
closed. It will again see service in
a few days as the Edgefield-Mo-

Fights Wage Cuts
George Harrison, Chairman of the
Railway Labor Executives Associa -
tion, warns President Roosevelt
that railway labor will resist any
reduction of worker’s wages. Re
cently the Association of American
Railroads announced intention of
a 15 per cent salary slash to take
effect in June unless some work
able alternative plan was proposed
to rescue the roads from their
precarious financial plight.

Hold Curculio
In Check
Now is the time for all good
oeach growers to come to the aid
of the industry and hold the cur
culio or peach worm in check,
says R. D. Suber, county farm
agent, who states that curculio
control is not entirely an indi
vidual problem but one which
concerns the entire community be
cause of its movement from one
orchard to another.
In some of the peach districts a
good many wormy peaches ar*
oresent in the drops. Unless these
irops are picked up and destroy
'd the worms in them will go
! nto the soil, pupate, and produce
'dult curculios fsnout weevils re-
'emhiing the boll weevil).
All home and commercial or-
'.hardists should immediately
nake an examination of the drop
■md, if worms are present, should
’mmediately nick un the fallen
reaches and bury them two feel
deep. In the commercial peac''
areas of the state, this is of ut
most importance, as curculio out
breaks in other extensive or
charding areas have been very
disastrous in years past. Other
means of control consist in spray
ing with arsenate of lead and
Jarring the trees for the adult
curculio at emergence time.

tains and large rest areas, and the

of the patio, steps will rise to a'
broad ihezzanine*. There Ford.Yd!
and Lincoln-Zephyr cars will lowd
passengers for the ride over “The.,
Road of Tomorrow.”
From the loading platform the'
cars will pass to the south, enter the
spiral ramps, climbing to the upper
level and following the elevated
highway as it passes over the mez
zanine. west along the south wall:
of Manufacturing Hall, through' a
tunnel lined with photomurals: -
thence circling the top of the build
ing, through a glass tunnel itrigh in
