How To Get Your
1945 Auto Plate
ow to register your .automobile
for 1945 and get the single license
plate for the rear of the car which
is being issued to California’ motor
vehicle owners during the renewal
period, which opened January 2 and
runs to February 5, was outlined today by the California State Automobile Association. The new plate of
white letters on a black background
will be the first issued in this state
sincé’ 1941 :and will replace plates
which ‘have seen four years use on
most cars. Motorists are advised. to
be sure to remove the old plate from
the front of the automobile.
The State Department of Motor
Vehicles is issuing plates at offices
throughout the state and the. California. State Automobile Association
is renewing registration for'its 117,000 members a offices in thirty four
cities:
Total fees to be paid (the same as
in 1943 and in 1944) are stated in
th’elower left hand corner .of the
registration card for 1944. This cara
the white slip, must be presented
when making application for renewal.of registration. Be sure your address is correct on this card. Car
owners whose registration card is
lost or illegible must apply for a
duplicate paying a state fee of 50
cents.
The ownership certificate as well
as the registration card must be
Presented, if the legal owner is being released of if there is a transfer
of ownership, together with a transfer fee of $1.
Failure to apply for renewal of
registration before expiration of the
period, at midnight February 5,: is
penalized by doubling the registration fee, making it $6 instead of $3
and adding 50 per cent to the

against
Developed as a by product of the
production of a war cheinical, this
substance is proving amazingly effective in the control of plant nematodes. These minute worms are one
of the most difficult of the plant
pests to fight; in some cases horti; resorted to steam
sterilization of the soil to get rid of
them. It has also been found that DD.
can be used to kill various types of
insects and fungi in the soil. Dean
Hutchinson says.
Demands for the new chemical are
tremeidous; Hawaii alone has asked
for more than twice the total United
States output to use in fighting the’
pinetpple plants: Production of DD
has been limited because of difficulties in obtaining priorities to erect
new plants for its manlfacture,
What little DD is available is being proportioned to schools of agriculture for research projects so that
when it is finally available the uses:
and limitations will be wnown. Dr.
M. A. Stewart associate professor of

for the eleven western states in the
use of DD against. nematodes and

university is being conducted by Dr.
