CORN YIELD IN
INDIANA TAKES
SLIGHT JUMP
Quality Good Except for
Damage Reported in
Drought Area.
BIZ Times Snecinl

BIZ Times Special
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Nov. l4-Ths
yield of Indiana corn took another
jump, according to the Nov. / re-
port of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, division of crop
and livestock estimates, co-operat-
ing with the Purdue university de-
partment of agricultural statistics,
announced today by M. M. Justin,
Purdue statistician. The average
yield is estimated at twenty
bushels to the acre, five bushels
below last years average and about
three-fourths of the average yielt
harvested in the last ten years.
The corn acreage this year is
greater than last, and the esti-
mated production OF 114,696,00o
bushels is 81 per cent of the 1920
production
Corn Quality Good
The quality of most of the corn
is good, but nubbins and worm
damage in the drought areas reduce
the average percentage of mer-
chantable corn.
The acreage of soybeans for seed
is greater this year than last, and
the yield is almost as high, four
teen bushels to the acre, so that
the estimated production for the
state, 100000 bushels, Is 10000
bushels above the 1929 production.
Red and alsike clover seed pro-
duction Is only about half of the
1929 figure, but the quality is re-
ported as good. The yield is about
bushel to the acre. and SONS
$4,000 acres we're cut for seed. The
amount of sweet clover Is about
the same as last year.
Potato Yield Up
Potatoes are reported with yield
of SO bushels, where only 80 bushels
to the acre were expected last
month. This puts the yield above
the ten-year average and the total
production of 4,984,0o0 bushels for
the state.
Apple harvest revealed a crop
larger than had been anticipated,
and the total production was l.
100000 bushels, or 10000 bushels
more than last year. Pear produc-
ton, of $4,000 bushels, was about
go per cent Of the 1929 crop
The milk production per COW and
the percentage of cows being MIXED
are both about average, but the to-
tai milk production per farm, 1854
pounds per day, except for last
years mark one-tenth pound higher,
is the largest for Nov. since rec
ords have been kept. The percent
age of hens and pullets laying. 15.9,
is high for this time of year, and
the number of hens per farm is
about the same as, last year.
The demand for farm labor de-
creased and the supply increased
during October until there was only
one job for 161 men in farm work.

OLD AGE INSURANCE

Following appears more of a
series of articles on old age pensions
submitted for publication by Gust
Ristrom of Kingsdale which have
been clipped from other publications:
AS l have been a reader of your
good paper for long time, and have
never asked for any space in the Our
Bulletin Page" l ask now for this to
be published. | would like to ask how
the million readers of Successful
Farming feel about old age being so
neglected. Is it not time that the
United States adopted an old age pen
sion like many other countries have
done years ago? Some of our states
have adopted this plan and are much
pleased with it, as it is much cheaper
than the so-called poorhOuse plan, and
much more human.
You have helped the soldier, the old
retired preacher. and the school teach
er. Why not pay the debt you owe
to the old men and women that have
made America a beautiful spot for
this generation to live in, now that
they have worked and toiled with the
sweat of their brow until the wheel
has refused to turn any longer? Then
shall we exile them to the poorhouse,
to die alone from all their friends?
For all friends do forsake them after
they have been taken to this so-called
poOrhouse. For shame of this-the
richest nation in all the world! Those
old people are not asking aims, but
for the debt their country owes them.
| received a letter a short time ago
from friend in England. He says
he and mis- wife are getting pension
of ten shillings each a week, and his
wife is also getting blind pension
as well as an old age pension. The
English government also furnished the
gentleman a new set Of false teeth.
But Uncle Sam won't give old age
anything.
Thousands of those old men and
women have tried to save against old
age, but old age has overtaken them,
and they have failed through no fault
of their own. Then are they entitled
to a pension, that they may spend the
balance of their days in comfort, ON
shall they go to the institution you
call the poorhouse?-J. L., Ill.

CHEVROLET MAKES
RECORD PRODUCTION

Another autOmOtive record tOpplet
here on Thursday when the Chevrole
Motor Company turned out it's tw'
millionth six cylinder car less thar
| twenty full months after the intro
| duction of this type.
Just as Chevrolet led the world il
four cylinder car production during
the last two years that the company
built that type, so now it assumes
leadership in the six cylinder field
by having built nearly five times as
many skies in twenty months as any
other manufacturer in the history OF
the industry.
The Two millionth Ska coach
rolled off the line here with Chevrolet
and Generals Motors executives in at
tendance to witness the final assem-
bly, of the car, for which no further
ceremonies were planned.
The brief time required by Chevro-
let to build two million skies provides
an index of the rapid strides made by
this organization to the front rank OF
volume car builders. The company
was organized late in 1911, and there
were required nearly seventeen years
to turn out five million of the old four
cylinder cars, while two million skies
have been placed on the streets and
highways of the world since January
1, 1929, or in total time of only
nineteen months and one week.
Commenting on the manufacture of
the two millionth six, w. S. Knudsen,
president and general manager, stated
that the fact of establishing a new
record was significant mainly in that
it indicated a definite public prefer
ence for the performance and luxury
which a six affords in the low priced
field.
I'VE abandoned our position as the
worlds largest builder of four cylin-
der cars" Mr.. Knudsen explained,
because the volume we had built up,
coupled with the tremendous purchas-
ing power of General Motors, enabled
us to put two extra cylinders in our
cars and yet retain the price range
and operating economy of the old four
cylinder car.
To-day the coach, one of the most
popular models in the line, is priced
twenty dollars lower than the four
cylinder coach was ever sold. The
experiences of two millions of owners
are that gas and other operating and
upkeep expenses are as low as any
standard four cylinder car. The quick
public acceptance of this fact, and
the gratifying response to the new
type, made possible our new produc-
ton record"
Total output of the Chevrolet Motor
Company to date is approximately
100000 cars
