cess of the six-cylinder Chevrolet,
introduced just a year ago, result
ed IN an output of 1,350,O00 cars
this year, breaking by a wide mar
gin all former Chevrolet annual
production records. In making
public Chevrolet's plans for 1880,
w. S. Knudsen, president and gen
eral manager, declared that with
the improvements incorporated in
the new car, Chevrolet was antici-
pating a volume of business that
will equal, if not surpass, the
phenomenal record of 1929. And,
in order to accommodate an early
demand, production is being speed
ed with all the haste consistent
with the precision methods for
which Chevrolet manufacturing
operations are famous. New car
shipments have been going out to
dealers for the past ten days, with
deliveries to owners scheduled to
start last Saturday. Scores of
distinct improvements have been
made in the 1880 Chevrolet line,
the factory announces. Greater
beauty, added safety factors, i'm
proved riding comfort and better
all-round performance with added
power, and faster acceleration are
announced as features Of the new
line. Larger tires, small wheels,
Delco-Lovejoy hydraulic shock alb
sorbers at all four wheels, Fisher
slanting non-glare Wv windshield
and vastly improved four-wheel
braking system are some Of the
highlights.

Sheepherder Yarn Has
No Foundation in Fact

There is an ever-recurTent story
that the laws in certain states COM
pei a sheepman to keep two men
with the sheep all the time, one to
herd them and the other to keep
the herder from going crazy.
What would happen if the ovine
influence should upset the mental
equilibrium of both of them at the
same time is a matter for cOnjec-
ture. Speaking merely for myself.
the sight of some one watching me
from day to day for signs of incip-
lent madness would be the surest
and quickest way to call to life the
germs of that disease which is sup
posed to lie latent in the herder's
calling.
And if, in addition, | had to do
all the work, while the other fel-
low confined his labors to his Op-
tic nerve, there would inevitably
steal into my consciousness the
thought that insanity is valid as
well as popular excuse for several
major crimes.-Archer 3. Gilfillan
in the Atlantic Monthly.

FARM PAPER SUSPENDED
Publishers Of Delaware Farmer
Quits Because of Lack of Interest


A. c. Hyde and r. B. Thompson
who have been building a plant
for their publication, THE Della
ware Farmer" at Dover, have
announced the suspension of pub
hcation Of the paper. Lack of in
terest on the part of advertisers
and farmers generally, are given
as reasons for their action. Two
issues of the paper had been dis
tributed. Under date of January
1st, the publishers have sent out
the following letter, which gives
their reasons for suspension.
ITO Subscribers, Advertisers and
Anyone Interested: 1t is with a
feeling of keen regret that we an
nounce the suspension of our new
publication, 1.-THE Delaware Farm
er. However, our best judgment
dictates that it is useless to con-
tinue. The two recent introduc-
tory issues November and Decem-
ber), which were given rather ex-
and in nearby Eastern Shore
counties, met with scant support
from both farm folks and business
people. Naturally these were eX-
pected to be our principal sources
of subscription and advertising
patronage. This manifest lack of
local interest in the project con
convinced us that the paper could
only be continued at a substantial
loss, probably extending over a
long period; in short, that it could
not be made to pay even expenses
for several years. Facing such a
prospect, our decision is to aban-
don the effort. Just why this un-
expected Indifference; this reluc-
tance to support home farm pap
er for Delaware and the Eastern
Shore, We DO not attempt to ex-
plain. Very evidently such a pap
er is not wanted. We thought it
was-and we made strenuous pre-
hminary effort, at considerable ex-
pense, to establish just the sort
of farm journal we believed would
be welcomed here. To those VIII
gave us substantial encourage
ment, we wish to extend most sin,
cere thanks. You made the jot
seem lighter, and made US feel
that our work was not entirely in
yain.'

BUILDING INDUSTRY is

Auto Makers Are Displaced as Big

By United Press
NEW YORK, Dec. 2e.-The build

which was displaced by the au-

as the largest users Of steel, has
regained its top rank, according to
an anlysis by the Iron Age.
Railroads, the Iron Age says,
slipped from second position, in
1929, to third. in 1880.
Rolled steel production for the
year was estimated at 29,6oo, 600
gross tons, a decline of 26.6 per
cent from the previous twelve
months. These estimates are based
on returns from companies manu-
featuring 96 per cent of the product.
