A DEMONSTRATION OF FRUIT

SPRAYING BY MOTOR SPRAY

PUMP.

A demonstration with the Doncaster Motor Spray Pump was given by Mr. H. C. Richards (sole agent for this State on Thursday at Mr. Pike's apricot orchard, Hectorville. The tank being filled with about 70 gallons of bluestone mixture, a start was made at 2 painstaking two rows of 18 year old trees at a time. The whole of these two rows were finished in 40 minutes (each row contained 36 trees), and only a small portion of the mixture being left, showing that reloading need only be done at the end of these rows. Tree after tree was examined, and in no case could any unsprayed portion be detected, the spray being so fine and penetrating. Not one single mechanical hitch occurred during the afternoon, the engine working smoothly throughout the day. The demonstration was witnessed by Mr. George Quinn, Messrs. T. Robson, sen., H. and W. Robson, C. Fisher, Rowell, Hart, and a number of others. mx

AUSTRALIAN FILMS. The

Globe Import Company, of Arcade, Adelaide, have been fortunate in securing the sole South Australian and Broken Hill Agency for the Australian Photo Play Company, Limited, of Sydney, whose Australian Films have caused a profound sensation in other parts of the Commonwealth and New Zealand, accounted for, no doubt, by the fact that they are purely of an Australian nature, acted by Australian artists, and being equal in quality and photography to the best imported English, American, and Continental productions. Amongst the latest releases are "Ben Hall and his Gang," "Assigned Servant," Lady

Outlaw," Keane, of Kalgoorlie, and

"Moora-Necya" (in aboriginal "The Message of the Spear".) The last-named play is a highly exciting drama. The scenes are thoroughly Australian, and typical of

the bush and back-block township life of Queensland, where the incidents of the drama were carried out. A strangely fantastic effect was obtained by the introduc-tion of a tribe of genuine Australian albertginals, whose grotesque was painted bodies added to their weird corroborees. This is the first film introducing the Australian aboriginals in their native haunts, and war dances. The Globe has also been appointed agents for the British Beard, the Wrench, and the American Standard Cine-autographs, and intends to stock complete outfits, parts, and accessories. Seeing that three members of the firm have been associated with pictures shows for many years now, customers would have the advantage of their experience, which should prove invaluable, m

SALE OF MOTOR CARS.

The time to buy a car is the time the seller must die That time is the present, as we have to provide room for stocks arriving Go not miss this opportunity for either a new or a good secondhand car. There are a dozen new cars of various

powers to choose from, and about half a dozen secondhand cars in most cases almost equal to new, and at enormous reduc-tions ID once. This is a genuine sale, and if you have the slightest idea of getting a car you will be very foolish if you miss it. As a few weeks will see the new motoring season in full pressing, we do not expect that the sale will last very long. It will only continue until the present pressure for room is lifted, so get in early. There will also he big reductions in the new car prices for cash The superb qualities of the Wolseley Siddeley and Humber cars are too well known to need repeating here. Fullest particulars sent to any part of the State. Apply early, or you will miss a chance that may never occur again. May's Motor Works, >5ctorja-flo.nare^^ is
