RURAL MAIL MEN
TO COLLECT DATA
WILL BE REQUIRED TO OBJ
TAIN HARVEST ACREAGE
FACTS FROM FARMERS.

The plan OF using rural mail carriers
for gathering harvest acreage figures,
to be put into effect this fall by the
United States department OF agricul-
ture, should prove of great help to the
government in making accurate acre
age estimates.
1t is pointed out that there are more
than 1000 rural mail carriers in Geor-
gia who will be able to reach many
thousand farmers in every section of
the state The carriers will distribute
and collect cards from the farmers on
which will be shown the acreage har-
vested, or to be harvested on individ-
ual farms, according to the plan pro-
posed by the United States depart
ment of agriculture and approved by
Postmaster General New.
100000 Farmers Will Report.
Approximately $4,000 rural carriers
throughout the country will, begin
ming in September, distribute the gov
eminent cards to more than 100000
farmers, it is stated. This is the first
lllllC ltIdl lIlC Cdll1Cio IldNC DCNi uSSu
for this purpose.
Heretofore, the department. has
mailed out each fall approximately
100000 schedules to individual farm
ers and the number of replies were
said to be considerably less represen-
tative of the country as a whole than
will be the farms reported on under
the new system, according to officials
of the department.
1t is expected that under the rural
carrier plan Approximately a 10 per
cent sample of all farms of the United
States can be obtained. This sample
of typical farms will be used in esti-
mating total acreage figures for all
farms.
Department officials point out that
the utilization of rural mail carriers
in this work is one of the samples OF
economy being practiced by the de-
partment and is made possible through
the efficiency with which rural carriers
have been collecting figures on births,
deaths and the number of pigs on
farms.

LONDON.-Farm houses in the
bush, bordering on the northern Rho

a state of siege owing to the activi-

out OF the jungle in daylight and at
tackled the farm animals, carrying off
many of them.
In some cases the natives working
on the farm have been attacked and
several have been killed. The lions are
often joined by leopards and have APP
peared in such numbers that the set
tiers are forced to go about only in
large groups and to keep constant
guard over their families and stock.

A Business Story
Rich in meaning to every motor car buyer
How Studebaker reached the heights

What others say not what you
say - determines your place in the
long run. In every field of endeavor
one must accept that fact.
We had the money, the plants, the
prestige. We had the incentive of
Studebaker traditions. In time we
secured the men.
We told those men to build for us
the utmost in fine motor cars, regard
less of all costs. We pledged them
our good faith and our resources.

100000 TESTS MADE ANNUALLY
BY STUDEBAKER CORPORATION

By G. W. Sweet, Asst Sales Manager
The Studebaker Corporation
One hundred and twenty-five Stu
debaker engineers, metallurglsts,
chemists and mechanics today devote
their time and thought to the devel-
opment and test of new ideas in
motor car design, construction, oper-
alton and equipment.
These men play vital part in the
introduction of new models, such as
the 1924 Studebakers; in better
manufacturing methods, and in con-
stantly guarding the high standards
in current production that have long
made Studebaker a leader in big
volume manufacture of high quality,
Isix-cylinder cars.
The laboratories in which these
men work are designed, constructed
and equipped at great cost to provide
proper facilities for the intricate and
handled.
Many thousands of dollars have
been spent by Studebaker to equip
these laboratories with the finest
testing devices, gauges and machin-
cry. Hundreds of these are so finely
constructed that they detect imper-
fections that only the powerful mic
roscope would otherwise disclose.
Laboratory experts are given un-
limited freedom in Studebaker's vast
plants. They enter into every activ-
ity in their search for the ultimate
in fine six cylinder motor car Gre
alton and construction.
Some select and test steel, iron,
brass, wood leather, glass and other
raw materials and special equipment
picked at random from the stream
that flows necessarily into the vari-
Gus mammoth departments Still
others of these one hundred and
twenty-five work out the correct
design and check the finished pro-
duct for satisfactory performance.
Each year more than 100000 such
tests are made in Studebaker labora-
tories. Guesswork in materials, meth
DDS, construction and performance
are thus eliminated
In the manufacture of the three
six-cylinder Studebaker models, 1920
mechanical operations are accurate

WEEKS BEST GOOD TURN

In Kuling, Kiangsi, during recent

ties were working to, protect the
community, by inoculating all in
habitants against the disease, and
the overworked doctors and nurses
were in dire need of assistance.
At this point, an American lad, a
member of Scout Troop 1 at the
Kuling American School, who was
staying at the college during vaca-
ton period, offered his services
which were promptly accepted. The
Scout set to work and soon male
record by washing the arms of
one thousand coolies as q prepara-
tion for their vaccination.

We deserve a hearing

Now we deserve a hear
ing. All who consider car at ST. 900
or over should learn what Studebaker
offers. That in fairness to yourself
and us. Check one by one the advan-
tages we offer. You'll find them by
the score
Remember that 145,000 who did
that last year chose Studebaker
car. There are nine chances in ten
that you'll do it.
Consider our record, our accom-
plishments, our policies and princi-
pies. Consider that we have $780,
100000 at stake on satisfying men
like you. Don't buy a car in this
high-grade class without seeing what
we give.
