'LOOK AFTER YOUR TIRES NOW!

Present tires by constant care and slow driving,
. IMPORTANT—If your front
tires are of rib design and your
back tires traction design switch
front wheels with each other and

A tire with a good, sound body

This should not be attempted on
tires with serious breaks in

DON'T JAM ON TIM

Sudden stops cause tires to drag

A blowout patch thrbws tire out

a dealer take them out and prop-

NEW BRUNSWICK
- OFFERS FINE
FISHING WATERS
Angling rights in some of the
choicest salmon and trout waters in
the Proirince 'of New Brunswick will
be offered for sale to all bidders at
the Parliament Buildings in the cap-
ital city, Fredericton, beginning at .
2,30 p,m. ,on Wednesday, March 25.
These waters comprise approximately
300 miles and include sections of such
noted rivers as • the Restigouche,
Nepisiguit, Tobique, Redgwick, Mata-
pedia, Tabusiatac, Cains,
Sevogle• and others, They are located
within Crown property, mostly in un-
populated territory, and must not be
confused with the hundreds of miles
of water which are reserved for open
fishing including the famous Resti-
gouche. All of the rivers mentioned
are within easy reach from the lines
of the Canadian National Railways, In
the case of the eRestigauche and the
Miramiclii, outstanding among the
salmon rivers of the province, the line.
of the National Railways follows their
shores 'for. considerable distances.
The sale of these leans provides
quite a substantial annual revenue for
the province. The leases.. are usually
for a ten year period and the leases
now being put on the open market,
have yielded a total revenue of $67,000
a year. The ,principal revenue produc-
er is that famous salmon river, the
Restigouche, which accounts for $57-
000 of the total. One lease alone on
the Restigouche pays $6,300 per an-
num. The smallest amount paid for
any leased water has Seen $25. per
annum.
The revenue derived by the prov-
ince from the sale of these leases does
not stop with the amount of rental,
There are indirect revenues from the
money spent by the lessees, usually a
club, acquiring the lease, wages paid
to wardens to patrol the stream,
amounts paid for supplies, and other
expenditures.

roots. It is both desirable and econ-
omical to obtain as much atmospheric
nitrogen as possible to relieve the de-
mands made upon soil nitrogen. Sup-
plies.
The medium through which this at-
moltpheric nitrogen is obtained and
made available to the plant is bacter-
ial. When present in the soil these
bacteria multiply on the roots. of the
soybean plant and form pea-like bodies
called nodules. These nodules are vis-
ible to the naked eye and when pres-
ent, are proof of successful inoculation.
If nodules aro not present in abund-
ance, inoculation has not been success-
ful, and the full advantages of a leg-
ume crop are not being' realized. The .
fact that soil has been inoculated for
clover or alfalfa is of no value to the
soybean crop, The bacteria which
form nodules an soybeans are different
from all other, legumes and only soy-
bean nitro-culture will be effective .on
this crop, '
Soybean seed should be inoculated
before planting. Cultures for inoculat-
ing soybean seed may be obtained
from most commercial seed houses in
Canada. Simple directions for using
cultures are provided by the manufact-
ures, It is important to prevent inocu-
lated seed from coining in direct con-
tact with suniight as far as possible,
'When soybean crops show a tend-
ency to become pale and yellowish in
pJor inoculati-,n may. hp?,
In ;my case it is a Wise pro-
cedure to carefully pull Itp- a few
plants in each crop and examine the
roots for nodules. Inoculation of .ar
field will .generally last fee several.
seasons, but considering the small fa,-.
bar and expense involved in this opev-
ation in 'comparison. to the benefits,
derived, frequent periodic inoculations,
will be found advisable..

INOCULATE SOY-
BEAN SEED
(Experimental Farms News)
An increasing demand for high pro-
tein feed and vegetable oil is expected
to advance the 1042 acreage sown to
soybeans in Ontario. Many farms will
probably be growing soybeans this
year for the first time. Where this
crop is new to the farm, the necessity
for proper inoculation of the seed be-
fore planting is e#eedingly important,
says C. W. Owen, Dominion Experi-
mental Station, Harrow, Ora.
The soybean plant is a legume and
like other legumes gathers nitrogen
from the air, which is stored in the
