Over A Million fords Retailed
From January to July

Sales reports from the "a
American branches of the Ford
Motor Company show that over
a million Ford cars aud trucks
were sold at retail during the
first six months of 1924. The
actual figure is 1896. 97s, which
exceeds the total retail sales for
the same period in 1923 by 1885,
095-an average gain of 22,l82
sales per month.
A comparison between Ford
sales in 1924 and 1923 not only
indicates a remarkable increase
in the country's buying power,
but also shows that this growth
continues month by month. Ir
every instance the amontllly sales
in 1924 have shown a substantial
increase over the corresponding
month in 1928. In June they
reached 170,747 which was ap
proximately 10000 ahead OF Jun,
sales in the proceeding year.
Those figures are for retail
sales in the United States alon
and do not take into cous; der
alton the sales made bv ioieigr
| Ford branches and ass ci. IL,
companies, the majority of wins
| assemble cars from America
made parts.
i Perhaps the most encouragin,
sign of the times lies in the fac
that those sales have been sprea
very evenly throughout the couu

perity that is not confined to an
particular section.

Proclamation Regarding Employ
ment of Rehabilitated Veterans

Whereas, the American Legion
has advised me that over one
hundred Virginians who were
disabled IN tile World War have
recently completed their course
of vocational training by which
they have become well fitted tol
discharge with necessary skill
the duties of large variety oil
occup ions including agricul-
tural. commercial, professional
and general industrial vocations i
and
Whereas, these disabled veter-
ans are deserving of every en-
enlargement in their courageous
effort to make of themselves sell
supporting and productive fac.
ors in our every day life; aud
Whereas, failure to secure APP
propriate employment would
mean that the years Of painstak-
ing effort devoted BY these dis
abled veterans in vocational
training and also the thousands
of dollars expended by the gov.
ernment in their rehabilitation
would all be total loss
Now, therefore, l, E. Lee
Trinkle, Governor of Virginia,
do hereby place this matter
before the business men and all
employers in the State of -Vir-
ginia, and hereby earnestly call
upon them to do every thing
possible to afford employment;
for these relI affiliated veterans
(whose physical disability gives
permanent testimony to what
they have done for us), and &c
assist in every way possible the
American Legion aud the Veter-
ans Bureau in their praisewortly
efforts to secure appropriate en-
ployment for these veterans.

Big Apple Yield Predicted Here

Richmond, Va, July 13.-The
total production of apples in the
commercial orchards is estimated
to be 2,988, 900 barrels, according
to announcement by Henry M.
TAYLOR, of the United States
Agricultural Department.
Last year." he said, ''the
crop was estimated to be nearly
100000 barrels and 9,736 cars
were shipped. There has already
been some injury from hail and
fungus diseases, so the actual
shipments probably will be under
the present estimate.
THE production this year il
quite different from last years
crop in both location and variety.
The lower Shenandoah Valley, or
Winchester district, produced the
greater part of the states crop
last year, as both the York and
Ben Davis varieties yield we'll
This year, the heaviest produc-
ing regions are found in the Up
per Valley, the Piedmont section
aud the Southwest. The varieties |
promising the best yields this
year are Pippins, Winesaps and
Bonum. while Yorks and Ben
Davis promise a smaller cropi
than last year.
"The Virginia apple crop is
better distributed this year than
has been the case during the past |
two seasons. Practically all
orchards have some fruit, while:
last year owing to frost damage
many gaowers lost their entire
crop. There was no injury from
frost this year, but owing to the j.
cold, rainy weather at blossom Is
time pollination was poor and II
set Of fruit was light. Ia

the fact that new orchards areI

BOY SCOUTS HIKED Up
SAN FRANCISCO PEAKS

Boy Scouts of Troop had an out
ing on the Peaks last Saturday, pilot
ed by G. A. Pearson and Mr.. Osborn
of the southwestern forest experiment
station. Two cars carried the boys to
Hart Prairie and from there they hik-
eel to an elevation of 10000 feet,
where the experiment station main
tains cabin in the spruce. On the
way up Mr.. Pearson pointed out the
distinguishing characteristics of the
various pines, frs and spruce. At the
cabin they all ate their lunches which
were supplemented by kettle of hot
tomato soup. After lunch winter
sports were in order The peaks have
at least two kinds of climate. On
the steep south slope it is June, while
on the north slopes, hundred yards
distant, it is February. Several of
the boys started out for the top, but
after wading a while in snow from
two TO four feet deep, they decided
to wait another month. This trip is
one Of the best that can be taken
and it is planned to have several
more before the season closes.
