CUT PRICES ON
CLOSED MODELS,
CHEVROLET CAR

Announcement is made this week
of Il substantial reduction in price
on closed models of the Chevrolet
car.
The reduction, effective from
August |, amounts to more than
per cent Of the delivered price on
the different models here.
Chevrolet has long held u high
position in its price class. 1t is an
established policy of the company J
it is declared, to pass on to the
consumer any saving effected by
the lower manufacturing costs due
to volume production.
Boosts Production
According to r. H. Grant, gen
cral sales manager of the Chevro
let Motor company, Chevrolet pro
duction will by August 20 have eX
cccded the total production of the
entire year of 1924. The 1924 pro
duction of the Chevrolet Motor
company totaled 305,303. During
the first six months of 1925 the
production reached 246,0Sl, OIL
only 59,222 units under the aggrc-
gate for the preceding year. The
company produced in June 54,94i
motor cars and trucks, exceeding
any previous June in its history
The month S total was exceeded by
only one month of Chevrolet pro
duction-October of 1923.
Statistics complied by the Ma.
tional Automobile Chamber OF
Commerce show that the sales of
Chevrolet in May, 1925, were 1886
per cent of the sales during the
same month of 1924.
The price reduction in Chevro.

dustry,' said Mr.. Grant, When it
is considered that all Chevrolet
closed models arc built with the
we'll known and handsome Fisher
body, that the closed ears, as well
as, the Chevrolet open models, are
finished with the well known dur.
able Duco finish and that the re-
cent mechanical improvements of
the car combine to make it ond of
the most splendidly performing
and undoubtedly the most cconom.
zeal in operation, this price reduc.
tion comes as Il decided surprise.
Tribute to Efficiency
The fact that Chevrolet has
found ii possible ts pass along to
the purchasers ~ considerable sav.
ing due TO p~deereaSea,- naaaltfactur-
ing costs even in the face of in,
creased prices of rubber and other
materials, is Il tribute to the eff.
cheney with which Chevrolet is
manufactured. Volume production
always decreases unit cost, and this
decrease is reflected in the new
prices now quoted for delivery of
Chevrolet cars.

UNITING CHINA'S HANDS

America has always been friendly to CHINA, its
biggest neighbor the west America, possibly, has
understood the slowly clarifying aspirations of the
Chinese people better than Europe.
American took the lead, three years ago last Win
ter, in chanpioning the Of China at the Wash
ington conference and obtained the nnepower treaty
just made effective by the tardy ratification of
France America continues to champion the legitimate
claims of China through the voice of the President and
Secretary of State who arranging another confer
to deal specifically with Chinese problems.
That conference will have plenty to do, and will
need all the persuasveness of the American spokes
if anything really practical and just is to emerge
for China or for the other nations.
The last Washington conference formally declar-
ed that it recognized Chnas Sovereignty, independ-
ence territorial integrity, administrative integrity,
fullest and most unembarrassed opportunity to devel
op and maintain a stable government and vari-
other Chinese claims which would be regarded as
matter of course in any other country Yet China
still exploited and budozed by foreign governments
and captains of industry. China still sees her sea-
ports held by foreign powers and is still unable to m
pose her duties her imports to raise money
to police herself and maintain the order the foreign
powers demand.
1t is unlikely that China adequately protect
foreign rights in that country until the other powers
unite Chinas hands by practical recognition of her do
mesc rights That should be the first aim Of the new
conference.

REALTORS AND BILLBOARDS

The National Association of Real Estate Boards
has Joined with other groups campaigning against
the unsighty billboard. At its recent session in De-
tro the association declared:
"We recognize that the natural beauty OF our
country is a public heritage TO be conserved. 1t is
community possession, and individual and no corp
oraton has the right to despoil the natural scenic
beauty of the land for private profit. We believe we
should give serious consideration to the problem of
outdoor advertising phase of the zoning move
ment We hold that the indiscrminate use of sign
boards today retards the development of desirable dis
trcts and tends to destroy value in districts already
built up and that such signboards have become Of
Tense to the public generally
Real estate dealers in some communities have
themselves been guilty of pasterng the view with sign
boards. Their active campaign against unsighly out
door advertising is therefore all the interesting
and all the more hopeful.
Antibillboard sentiment is growing in all parts
Of the country; several formerly advertising
largely by this method have already started withdraw
ing their signs from highways This sort of coopera
tion should make the establishment and enforcement
of adequate billboard regulations assured
People who took 20 years to admit that the auto
mobile was practical are still dubious about the air.

Hogging Off Corn Saves
Farmer Time and Labor

Farmers who hogged off a portion
of their corn crop and husked the
remainder on the stalk, made more
money on corn in the past five years
than those who cut. shocked, and
husked it all. according to the expe-
riences on Ohio farms where records
were kept.
The figures for this survey were re-
corded by the farmers themselves. and
F. L. Morrison, of Ohio State Univer-
sity, who compiled the figures. says
that by proper planning these men
who let the hogs do part of the work
greatly reduced labor costs
BASED on the figures secured In
Greene county from 1920 to 1925. =
writes Mr.. Morrison, "a farmer who has
40 acres of corn will spend 143
days of man labor in raising and .har-
vesting his corn crop if he cuts, shocks
and husks it. If five acres are 'hogged
off the 40-acre corn crop will take
131 days of man labor. Hogging of
not only saves labor in harvesting the
corn, but also saves time in caring for
the hogs
eff this farmer with 40 acres Of
corn hogs cf 30 acres and husks
the remainder off the stalk, it will re-
quire only rs days of man la
Dor to raise and harvest his core
crop, or IS days less than If he
were to cut, shock and husk 1t all
AT the high wages paid for this extra
harvesting labor, the saving In man
labor would amount to more than
twice the value of the slower left
standing in the field"

Airy Attic Room Is
Fine to Cure Corn
Plan of stringing Ears Is
Familiar to Many.

With the recent frost catching much
of the corn full of moisture, the
method Of curing seed corn this fall
will determine to a large extent the
success or failure of the stand next
year.
"Seed corn" declares A. N. Hume,
of South Dakota State college, SHOULD
be stored in a dry place with good
air circulation. neither too hot nor
too cold. An airy attic room will serve
to store enough for home use, although
ii has the objection that it may bring
mice into the house. The seed ears
may be covered with dry threshed oats
In bin and allowed to remain there
until spring.
Most corn growers are familiar
with the plan of stringing the ears
and hanging them outdoors on the
sunny side of building or tying two
or more ears together by the husks
and hanging them that way. Such
methods of curing are usually sue
cessful, unless the sunshine becomes
too holland causes termination of the
corn. The strings of seed ears may
be suspended from the rafters Of
crib or even a garage, but do not
drain the radiator of the car or allow
steam to escape below the corn in
freezing weather. Many bushels of
good seed corn have been ruined in
this manner.
IF corn is once well cured, it will
be almost certain to retain its ger
mination. Sometime after Christmas
when it Is thoroughly cured, it may
be shelled, graded, and stored in
sacks ready for planting"
Mature ears make the best seed
corn although corn that has reached
the glazed stage can be used if prop
erly cured and stored. Seed for next
year should be secured this fall

Extra Feeding Assists

Nurse Crop for Glover

Tests at the Brandon experimental
farm emphasize the fact that sweet
clover Is much more economically pro-
Siuced when sown with a nurse crop
imam when sown alone. The yields Of
the various nurse crops are in no way
due to the presence Of the sweet
clover and the slightly increased yield
the following season in favor Of soeti-
ing alone Is insignificant. The stuhhlp
also affords cnn>iderihie pr"te t'an
and hence winter-kisllng is less likely
to oceur
