'Whippet Sedan Makes
Light Car Record

\ An Overland whippet. the new Eu-

\ 6S.miie circuit from Know Court

founding average OF 4o.a miles per
hour.
: With George Dyer of the retail divi-
sion Of the Willys-Overland Denver
branch at the wheel the test was
started at 444 A. NJ and the finish
came at 6-10-40. The run was under
the official observation Of two Denver
newspaper representatives, Lloyd
Langworthy of the Denver Post and
Damon Gall of the Rocky Mountain
News.
This remarkable time established
an entirely new record for f&nclosed
cars over Lookout Mountain. W is not
far away from the record made by a
six-cylinder touring car over the same
course. And it was made with a stock
model, the regular Whippet demon
strator, with four-cylinder motor
and the lowest rated horsepower of
any stock production car in this coun-
try. The rated power of the moter is
only 1872 horsepower but the actual
developed power is sos horsepower.
which is incidentally the greatest
power development of any stock pro-
duction light car in this country.

Bear Creek Canyon was made at the
rate OF As miles an hour.
These are conspicuous figures for a
light car and bear out the contention
Of the Whipped engineers that this
European type car is an amazing per-
former.
Bear Creek Canyon is full Of curves
and to take the run at an average OF
As miles an hour Is to demonstrate a
road ability which Is unequalled In
any other type Of motor car.
The climb up Lookout is stiff one
and calls for a motor with regular
power to make it. The Whippet time
of Is minutes for the climb shows
what the European type of power
plant means to the driver Of a light
car.
The maximum speed of IS miles an
hour is a tempting speed for the larg-
est cars to aim at and reach but the

The Lookout Mountain run made by
the Whippet Is the second Of series
of runs which are being conducted
by WHY'S Overland to demonstrate the
efficiency of the two Willys-Knight
and the two Overland models built by
the manufacturing company in Toledo,
Ohio.
The first was the sensational run to
Cripple Creek and return when an
Overland Six, driven by Ernest j.
Dwyer Of Colorado Springs made the
round trip in hours and minutes.
According to J. +. Boyd, branch
manager for the Denver and Rocky
Mountain territory. these runs will
demonstrate every phase of driving

the Rocky Mountain standards of SER

All models will be put through

The culling Of the non laying hens
from the flock as taught all over

specialist saves a large sum of mon
ey Just how much may be hard TO
say as we do not know just how
many are doing il.
Probably the best way to get at
the value of this is to show what IL
can save. According to the last
survey of the Agent more than 1O0,-
600 hens are kept in the Two Coun-
ties. To feed n hen months costs
soc. On the average about 1-3 OF
the flock is culls that would mean
"a saving of close to $16,666 in these
two counties in two months of one
year. And since records show that
the culls lay very few eggs they
would not pay much toward the cost
of keep.

naturally this was limited because
| their first duty was resident instruc-
ton. Marked changes have occurred
since Dean Merrill first took charge
of the work which has grown so that
there are now forty full time extern
sion agents working in cooperation
with fourteen county farm bureaus
and over three thousand county and
community members and local lead
ers of boys and girls clubs. In
speaking OF extension work Dean
Merrill says:
1--WE are apt to overlook the i'm
portance, and Significance of the fact
that in each county there Is but one
county program of work on which
all the cooperating organizations
center their attention. The Farm
Bureau, the Extension Service, and
United States Department of Agri-
culture are united and working on
this program. 1t Is because these
several agencies are all "teaming
together" that more rapid progress
has been made.
The development OF programs is
the greatest importance. Sound pro-
grams must attack the outstanding
needs of agriculture and of the rural
homes. Extension agents meet with
community committees and groups of
farmers and home makers to discuss
their problems and prepare plans.
Surveys are made when necessary
and finally program is agreed upon
which is mutually acceptable to both
the farm bureau and Extension Ser
vice.
Extension work Is conducted in ac-
cordance with the federal and state
law under which funds are available.
Whatever success has been achieved
| Is due not only to the organizations
which are cooperating. but also to
the several thousand people who
have served on community and coun-
| ty committees and to persons who
| have acted as demonstrators and CO.
| operators thus spreading the best
| farm and home practices to their
neighbors and friends"
| According to experiments which
have been carried on from time TO
| time over the last few years. larger
yields Of alfalfa and better stand
of the crop can be maintained If
the harvest of hay is delayed until
the crop is well in bloom. This
seems to hold true even tho the basal
shoots have made enough growth to
be caught by the mower, according
