FORESIGHT AIDS
CHEVROLET MAKE
RADICAL CHANGE

DETROIT, Michigan, June /
The first comprehensive answer
yet obtained to the question, "How
did Chevrolet succeed in etfectine
one Of the most mammoth turnovers
in Industrial history2" was reveal
I'd lere today.
Since mid November when
Chevrolet announced that it would
discontinue producing four cylinder
cars and would produce instead, a
six in the price range of the four,
speculation in automobile circles
w&s rife as to how this was 10 be
accomplished. Other manufacturers
who had attempted turnovers had
required as long as lS months to
two years to swing back into capa-
city production. There were many
skeptics.
When Chevrolet followed up its
announcement of six with the
announcement that deliveries on
the new models were to begin
January /, few outside the com
pany believed the feat would be ac.
com plished. But deliveries in quan
tity numbers did begin January /
On that date practically every
Chevrolet dealer in the country dis
played the new six. Once more the
question re-echoed throughout
trade circles, Glow did they dc
it t?'
The answer as it now comes tc
light can be epitomized in single
word foresight. ;" The foresight
Cd policies Of General Motors anc
Chevrolet have never been know
to ccuntenance any blind gestures
The Chevrolet Six, which is today
speeding over the highways il
thousands, was born four year
ago.
At that time General Motors be
gan considering, with an ope,
, mind, whether a six cylinder cal
could be produced to selling tn
price range of the four. Shortly af
! terward Chevrolet engineers de
| signed the first of the 100 engine
which was to precede the on,
| which today powers the new Chev
rolet. One by one these engine
were tested, redesigned, impr owed
! torn down. From each experimen
the Chevrolet engineers were learn
ing.
Then, one day last May afte
over million miles of test driving
and four years of the most inten
sive sort of checking, Chevrolet en-
gineers expressed themselves a
satisfied that they had perfected s
six cylinder engine of exceptiona
merit. 1t was a momentous occasion
in the history of the company, ant
marked the achievement of one OF
the greatest engineering triumphs
in the history Of the industry.

DATE GROWERS
DISCUSS SALES
At CONFERENCE

William Cooke of the Cooke Date
Gardens and 7. Ashley Rosenberger
of the Gillette. .Rosenberger Date
Gardens in Indio were speakers at
the date growers meeting held this
week at the Swami orchard.
Among other things they discussed
the sales Of Sadly offshoots which
their companies will hold next month
at which time large rooted offshoots
will be sold under government CON
tract at a very reasonable price.
Certain of the Sadly palms that
are in the Swami orchard We're ex-
hibited; this variety is one of the
cheapest and is peculiarly adapted
to Imperial Valley since it comes
from valley near the Egyptian
coast where there is good deal of
fog and rain during the period when
the dates ripen.
In the fall, in Imperial county,
when the ripening period of the
dates begins, there is considerable
moisture at night and the Deglet
Moor orchard at Heber was very un-
successful because of this factor,
although at the Swami orchard there
has been little trouble, possibly be-
cause of better methods Of handling.
Another point in favor of the
Sadly date is that its quality i'm
proves with age which is an impor
tant item in shipping, and it is
one of the two varieties that the
date growers association in the
Coachella valley handles so that in
dependent growers might be able tc
ship their product through the asso
citation.
The next feature Of the program
was a demonstration of the method
of thinning used on the Swami trees
Since dates from foreign countries
can be imported very cheaply, date
in this country, in order to compete
must be Of superior quality, this oh
ject being achieved by thinning.
On the mature trees, the local date
gardens thin down to 200 pound
per year per tree, and figuring 4;
trees to the acre, at a conservative
estimate of 10 cents net returns, dat
farming is profitable to the exten
/ of 5000 per acre. These figures as
sumo good offshoots and efficien
handling of the garden.

The matter Of selling Imperial
Valley land which is worthless, has
been fought by the chambers Of
commerce of the valley, and in
many instances the companies pro
noting such sales have been forced
TO 60 out of business because of the
nnfavorable publicity they have re-
ceived through the efforts Of the
local chambers and the Imperial
Valley Credit association. Despite
this publicity, many letters are re-
ceivcd at the FL Centre chamber
concerning agricultural possibilities
Of land which is too high for any
rhance Of irrigation. Whenever
possible, the chamber urges the
prospective buyer TO come here and
