Quality Gives the Mileage 
The big mileage of Riverside Oversize Cords over rough roada 
is put into them in the factory. It is the mileage built in by 
quality. High, thick, strong treads—firsts in every particular- 
built with the largest amount of good live rubber.

retailers of tires in this country. One user tells another. Just try

You Don’t Risk One Cent

Compare them with tires selling for $5.00 or $15.00 more.

oversize cord made, send them back. We will refund your money. 
These prices buy 10,000 miles of service—and more.

Salt Does Not Kill Wireworms 
A majority of the potato growers of Steuben County 
at least have been troubled very much with wire- 
worms and grubs for the past two or three years. Pota¬ 
toes now shipped in carlots have to be inspected by a 
State inspector. Potatoes that have been eaten with wire- 
worms and grubs will not pass the inspection. There 
have been several carloads turned down by the State

On sour soils lime is needed for clover and

potato growers in the southern 
A tier of New York counties, espe¬ 
cially in Steuben County, have suf¬ 
fered serious losses in recent years 
from the attacks of wireworms. Wire- 
worms are brownish, slender, hard-shelled 
beetle larvae that feed on the roots of 
tubers, often destroying the set pieces 
and later greatly injuring the crop of 
new tubers.
