Trees which are four to five years j
of age should receive an applies-1
tion of three-fourths ounce, while j
trees six years old or older should |
receive one ounce. Trees under fourj
years should not be treated. Mr !
Firor explained.
Before applying paradichloroben- j
7.cne the grass and trash should be !
removed from around the tree and j
the sell loosened up so that the gas
can penetrate the soil effectively. I
The waxy material around the body
of the tree should also be removed. I
The chemical should be applied in i
a circle about one inch from the ^
bark around the trunk of the tree. |
About six shovelsful of soil should
then be placed in a cone shape 1
around the tree trunk over the ma-|
terial and packed down. The first
shovelful of soil should be placed
over the band of chemical carefully
in order to avoid getting the crys
tals against the bark of the tree.
The mounds around the base of
the trees in four weeks, and from
around the six year and older trees
after six weeks. Fresh soil should
replace that taken from around the
tree.

just as the manufacturers backed
their new automobiles. They spent
many thousands of dollars for mod

pare their used automobiles for ser
vice before they were offered to the
public, and they saw to it that every
used car was properly recondition
ed before it was offered for sale.
"Because of Ford’s great sales vol
ume, Ford dealers everywhere had
large stocks of good used cars, and
they led the way, so to speak, in the
matter of guaranteeing the perform

MCKINNON SAYS USED
CARS BETTER BUT NOW
One of the most significent
changes that has taken place in the
automotive world during the last
few years is the attitude of the pub
lic toward the used car, according
to W. B. McKinnon, local Ford
dealer.
“There was a time when the aver
age buyer was afraid of a used car,”
Mr. McKinnon says. "He believed he
was taking a chance whenever he
purchased a car that had seen ser
vice in the hands of a previous
owner. Howe.-er, that condition no
longer exists, and the motor car
dealers themselves haw brought
about this change in sentiment.
"Reputable dealers realized that
their reputations meant something
to the people in their respective
territories, and they placed those
