Home Gardener's Meeting to Take

Place in March

EWS from the county agent's office is that the annual : home gardener’s session is coming up some time in March. Norris Wade, assistant county agent, and Prof. W. B. Ward of Piirdue are working on plans now—but date isn't set yet. Mr, Wade, incidentally, will ' bless all you gardeners who get your soil samples in early. Otherwise he'll. be sitting up nights with nitrates when the gardening fever hits.

gathering at Purdue says there's nothing new in the treatment of elm tree diseases. But there's a new angle on mixing of sprays. Formerly DDT killed off the killers of mites. Here's the way he hopes So mites flourished. Now miteyoull dish the dirt to him. 1. killers get mixed with the DDT.

work, R. P. -Ballere, 6001 N. Ewing, graded and gaeded around three-fourths of an acre of lawn last rall. It took him and hls chief assistant, Dennis, aged 14, just four months. jut _ vou should see the fine lawn he : has now, His landscaping story really starts in the périod before the Ballere house was built. “I had the top-sojl bull-dozed off,” he sald, “into a pile at one side of the vard before the house was built, Later,” he sighed, "

redistributed the entire pile by the wheel-barrow method.” » » » AS TO HIS landscaping around the house, he followed a method easy for anyone. who's

looking forward to a similar chore, “We went to a local nursery

during the summer and saw the trees and shrubs and evergreens growing, looked studied to friends so we had some idea of what we wanted

“At the nursery they gave us

.a8 the frost came we just drove

out and picked up the plants, The nursery had them ready, with the roots all wrapped, and we broygght them home in the trunk of the car.” . Shrubs in front of the house are mostly evergreens, Other ghrubs were chosen largely for flowers the Balleres like, These

Sow seed on top of fine soil. Cover with wax paper until germination - begins. Watch closely so tiny seedlings don’t smother.

do the work that took three galions-in- 1925.

Today's high quality gasoline ...at 1929 prices!

Yes—it’s true you get today’s gasoline at about 1925 prices. Only the tax is higher.

But its surprisingly. low price is only part of the value you receive from today’ 8 gasoline. The improvement in gasoline performance has been remarkable. *

Taking into consideration the increased weight, size, speed and power of modern cars. . . two gallons of today’s gasoline can do the work of three in 1925. In combination with today’s engines—made. possible by improved fuels and lubricants—your modern car can do 507 more work than you got in 1925. .

Today’s’ gasoline is a big value chiefly because thousands of petroleum companies, large and small, are competing for business.

Since the end of World War 11, members of the petroleum industry have spent 12 billion dollars on new facilities such as oil wells, pipelines, refineries, service stations, and research laboratories: Only in this way, have they been able to add the capacity and make the quality needed to meet your needs and national defense requirements. During the same petfiod Standard oil and its subsidiary companies have spent over one billion dollars in this way. An important part of this money has come from re-investment of two-thirds of its profits for new tools and equipment in a vast expansion | program. ig ~ We’ re not only i in a race to meet ever-growing demand with bigger volume ‘ey we're also in a race to build demand with higher quality products. .

All of which means that, as far as Standard, Oil, is concerned, you can: look - forward to an even better value | in gaseling tomorrow, ‘

GASOLINE'S A BARGAIN because workers like P. P Scott, research engineer, of Tulsa, Oklahoma, are at work on new methods of producing crude oil fo offset rising production costs and to locate new sources so that we can have enough oil to’ meet thé ever-in-creasing demand. Plowing back two-thirds of our profits into facilities for finding, refining, and distrib-~ uting petroleum products has helped Standard Oil hold down prices of finished products, while continually raising quality.

GASOLINE'S A BARGAIN because Workers like Ed. &, ‘Herndon, stillman at pur Neodesha, Kansas refinery, have the latest and best tools to work with, so that more products and better products can be processed ‘to meet rising demand. The investment of our 116,000 owners has made possible the costly equip. ment which modern refineries require.
