SWEET POTATO GLUT.

Milford. Oct. 17.--Lower Delaware
has grown this year one of the larg-
est sweet potato crops in its history.
Sweet potatoes are being harvested
and the turn out" is so large that
the growers do not know where 10
place them. The yield win average
$50 bushels per acre in Kent and
Sussex counties. Most of the potatoes
measure 13 inches in circumference
and 10 TO II inches in length.
The crop is so large there is prac-
tically a glut in the market.
Farmers are beginning to construct
houses to store potatoes during the
winter, hoping to obtain better prices
next spring.
A few weeks ago in Milford the
price for sweet potatoes was rs cents
per basket. They can now be bought
for Is cents per basket.

FORD PRODUCTION
IS PAST 100000

The total production of Ford cars

ing been achieved on May %, 1921.
OF this staggering total of six mill
lion cars and trucks, 5,517,956 have
been delivered to purchasers in the
United States alone and the most
recent, statistics show that 4,47S,24S
Of this number are still in daily
service.
When consideration is given to the
fact that the present type motor has
been in production for fourteen years
and that four out of every five Ford
cars and trucks during this period
are still in actual daily service, the
popular conception OF the long life of
Ford cars is substantially borne out.
Daily production at the Ford Motor
company is now close to 5000 cars,
the record one-day output of 4,SfS
having been achieved on May Is and
on the previous working day in May,
1852 cars were completed.
May production will total 100000
and the estimated output for June
has already been raised to 100000
which is the greatest production out
put for single month ever aimed at
by 10000.
The distribution of Ford cars and
trucks throughout the country is al
most evenly distributed in relation to
population in every state with the
Eastern states with their densely
populated cities to the Western states
with their sparsely settled commu-
mites
Eight states show a total of over
100000 cars and trucks in service
Ohio leading with 290.769. with Illi-
nois, Pennsylvania, Texas, Michigan,
New York, Iowa and California fol-
lowing in the order named.
The total of approximately four
and a. half million Ford cars in daily
service means that there is Ford
for every five families in the United
States.
Ford dealers have asked for total
Of 194750 Ford ears and trucks to
meet their June requirements. Every
effort is being made at the Ford fac
tories to take care of this enormous
volume of business which is far in
excess OF any demand ever before
experienced by the company.
During the past several months.
sales have been steadily increasing
and the present demand is growing
at rate in excess of the ability of
the manufacturing company to meet
shipping requirements.

MODERN BUSES
T Ar CRY F ROM
HACKS Of OLD

One of the most notable advances
made by modern cars is in the direc-
tion of easier and quieter operation,
according to NJ. p. Barrett, Stude-
baker distributor.
'The prevalence of women and
even children in their upper teens
as drivers of cars is perhaps the
best testimonial of the great strides
that have been made by automobile
engineers along these lines.
mot so many years ago 1t was
necessary to have good strong arm
to crank car, often performed IN
mud or puddles CT water.
Another essential was the pos
session of a box of matches TO hght
the gas lamps at night. There was
also the Inconvenience of gear shitt-
ing, with tne clutch pedal requiring
considerable pressure and levers
hard to manipulate In short, drlV-
ing a ,.dr was strictly a mans Jop.
Electric starters and lights, IN
strument boards, cord tires and par
ticularly easy gear shifting, reVoiu :
toned things. until today it is not
only the usual thing to see woman
at the wheel of car, but women
have become actually as proIlclens
as men in driving automobiles.
''The pioneering efforts of Stude-
baker engineers have been consplcu-
ously along the line of making
Studebaker cars easy for even cnlla
to handle, and designing them as
nearly foolproof as possible.
"The latest innovation is the new
perfected type of clutch which IS a
feature of the new Studebaker cars
This clutch makes for extremely easy
and safe driving and is OF the single
plate, dry disc type. Nine separale
springs maintain uniform pressure
between friction surfaces.
"a clutch brake serves to prevent
spinning of transmission gears aIter
the clutch is disengaged. making
gear shifting quiet and easy, me
gear shift lever is centrally located
directly on the transmission cover
and is of the ball-and- socket type
with an offset cane lever which
makes gear shifting easy.

idly each year since, reaching 25 per
cent in 1921, and it is still growing
at a phenomenal rate.
The Hudson Motor Car company,
always among the leaders in propor-
tion of closed car sales. due to its
pioneering in this line, probably tops
all manufacturers today. Fifty five
per cent of its entire output since
January / has been in closed cars, 1t
announces
Essex Motors is believed to be in
second place in this respect. Slightly
more than half of the Essex output
since the year started has been in
care of this type.
Both companies state that the pro-
portion of this business is continuing
at approximately the same rate, even
with summer at hand. In fact. 1t is
quite certain, they declare, that when
production totals for May are COM
piled, it will be found that the closed
car business for that month was
even higher than the yearly average
to date. 1t is believed that each COM
panys proportion will mount even
higher during the remainder OF the
year. since closed car business is al
ways heavy in the fall.
In 1921, 81 per cent of Hudson's en-
tire manufacture and 19 per cent of
the Essex output was in closed cars.
Decision to build the new Coach type
and the ability of each concern
through volume sales to offer this
model at but little more than an open
car price, are generally accepted as
the reasons for the remarkable gain
each has made. Orders for these
types continue to pour into the fac
tory in undiminished number, it is
reported.
The great demand for closed cars
has, however, curtailed production for
all manufacturers and has resulted
in making the country wide shortage
of both Hudson and Essex cars even
more acute, the companies announce.
This is so because of the greater time
necessary to produce closed car
bodies. Hudson and Essex have
thousands of untitled orders on their
books today, the statement reads.

FOREIGN DEMAND
LOOKING De TER

Steady improvement in the foreign
demand for motor cars is reported by
J. ID. Mooney. of New York City,
general manager of General Motors
Export company.
In commenting on the notable gain
in buying power among the countries
of Western Europe, Mr.. Mooney said
it undoubtedly reflected change
for the better in the morale of the
people.
1--WE find the self-reliant and re-
sourceful nationalities returning to a
more wholesome outlook and con-
stantly improving their economic
condition" said Mr.. Mooney. "The
results lead me to believe that as a
rule economic conditions adjust
themselves to the temper and pur-
pose of the people as a whole. In my
opinion. it was largely the state of
public morale which stopped the
great war. When the people of
Russia. for example, were surfeited
with war. the war was over so far as
that country was concerned, and
when the people of the Central EN-
pires became thoroughly disheart :
ened the whole struggle came rapidly
to an end.

collapse because of the shattered
morale of the population.
AN entirely different train of
events has created somewhat similar
conditions in Mexico. Here is a
country which in natural resources is
perhaps favored above all others on
the globe. With the most fertile
farming, grazing and fruit lands.
with rubber in abundance. with hinge
deposits of all basic metals used in
the mechanical arts. with vast oil
fields and great forests of hardwood
lumber, Mexico is down because of
the low morale of the great mass of
her people. But even Mexico shows
signs of coming back
In general, our late reports indi-
cate improved buying demand from
these countries which in the past
have been our best customers. The
British Isles already have absorbed

Gus men, is another bright spot on
