culture, particularly at lliis time, because 

 growers should be cautioned not to discontinue 

 spraying on account of tlic injury that has 

 been done by the freeze. Spraying should be 

 even more general than before, so as to protect 

 from injury the blossoms that are left, and 

 thus more nearly insure a good crop. — Missouri

Blossom Time Made a Festival 



Apple blossom time in the Wenatchee 

 Valley, Washington, in the Hood River 

 Valley, Oregon and prune blossom time 

 in the Willamette Valley, Oregon, were 

 fittingly celebrated In these various dis- 

 tricts this year. The commercial or- 

 ganizations of all of these sections in- 

 vited the residents of the Pacific North-

west to visit the orchards and hundreds 

 of visitors took advantage of the oc- 

 casion. 



In Oregon processions of automobiles 

 went from the city of Portland to Salem 

 and Hood River while scores of ma- 

 chines full of visitors made the trip to 

 Wenatchee from many sections in 

 Washington. While each springtime 

 season in recent years has seen many 

 visitors in Northwest orchards during 

 blossoming time the movement took on 

 a wider significance this year than ever 

 before. 



An Innovation in Tractors. 



The Midwest Utilitor Company, 

 which handles a small type of tractor 

 with the control centered in two 

 handles similar to those on a plow, has 

 established headquarters in Portland. 

 The company is headed by R. H. Butler, 

 E. R. Wells is vice-president and Ralph 

 Krows, general sales manager. The field 

 of operation of the company in regard 

 to the Utilitor are the states of Oregon, 

 Washington and Idaho. 



^yhile the Midwest Utilitor is adapted 

 |(. almost any kind of cultivation of 

 crops and can also be used as a station- 

 ary engine, it is particularly adapted to 

 the needs of berry growers, nursery- 

 men, truck raisers and florists. In op- 

 erating it the operator grasps the two 

 handles the same as on the old- 

 fashioned plow and follows the tractor, 

 just the same as the horse-drawn imple- 

 ment is followed. The control in the 

 handles is on the same principal as that 

 in a motorcycle. Wlien it is used for 

 mowing a seat is provided. 



After 10 Days 



Your teeth may also glisten 



All statements approved by high dental authorities 



Millions of teeth now glisten as 

 they have not done before. You see 

 them everywhere. 



A new method of teeth cleaning 

 has, in late years, come into very 

 wide use. Thousands of dentists are 

 urging it. Multitudes of people have 

 proved it and adopted it. And every 

 person is now offered a free ten-day 

 test. 



To combat the film 



The purpose is to combat the film 

 which causes most tooth troubles. 

 Film is that viscous coat you feel. 

 It clings to teeth, enters crevices and 

 stays. In the months between your 

 dental cleanings it may do a cease- 

 less damage. 



It is the film-coat that discolors, 

 not the teeth. Film is the basis of 

 tartar. It holds food substance which 

 ferments and forms acid. It holds 



the acid in contact with the teeth to 

 cause decay. 



Millions of germs breed in it. They, 

 with tartar, are the chief cause of 

 pyorrhea. 



Very few escape 



Very few people have escaped 

 some of these tooth troubles, despite 

 the daily brushing. The ordinary 

 tooth paste does not dissolve film, 

 so the tooth brush has left much of 

 it intact. 



Dental research has for many years 

 sought a way to fight this film, and 

 the way has now been found. Many 

 clinical tests have amply proved its 

 efficiency. And now leading dentists 

 everywhere are urging its adoption. 



The method is embodied in a den- 

 tifrice called Pepsodent. And mil- 

 lions of people are new enjoying its 

 benefits. 



Sent to any one who asks 



The Pepsodent results are quick 

 and apparent. Everyone who sees 

 them will desire them. So, to spread 

 the facts, a 10-Day Tube is sent to 

 anyone who asks. 



Pepsodent is based on pepsin, the 

 digestant of albumin. The film is 

 albuminous matter. The object of 

 Pepsodent is to dissolve it, then to 

 day by day combat it. 



A new discovery has made pepsin 

 possible. Pepsin must be activated, 

 and the usual agent is an acid harm-

 A scientific film combatant 

 combined with two other mod- 

 ern requisites. Now advised by 

 leading dentists everywhere and

 tubes. 



ful to the teeth. But now a harmless 

 activating method enables us to con- 

 stantly fight the film coat in this way. 



Send the coupon for a 10-Day 

 Tube. Note how clean the teeth feel 

 after using. Mark the absence of 

 the viscous film. See how the teeth 

 whiten as the film-coat disappears. 



Do this now, for few things are 

 more important. The results may be 

 life-long in extent. Cut out the cou- 

 pon so you won't forget.
