~ OWN at the village I was told
that Old Man Avery was the
only man in the hills who could
provide me with the informa.
ton l wanted. Avery had lived in the
hill country for nearly 80 years and
knew everybody; knew everything that
happened too. Moreover. he was q
truthful man, not given to unneces-
sary speech or exaggerations.
And so l toiled up the slope to
Avery's cabin and found the old man
sitting in the sun before his door. He
was smoking black pipe, and there
was nothing hostile in the way he
looked at me.
You're Mr.. Avery?" I asked. and
smiled.
"Yup," he said. I'm Mr.. Avery"
I'm from the sheriff's Office down
at Benton. I'm looking for the man
who killed Squint Ruggles."
'Thasso?"
looked at him closely. Hill folks
were strange to me- yet l was familiar
with stories told of them, of their
slow-thinking ways, and adherence of
haste, their habitral suspicion of
strangers.
I nodded patiently. "At the store
they told me you could give me infor-
nation. suppose you knew about
Ruggles' killing"
"Yup," he said, II knew"
"Ruggles," went on to explain, "was
q gangster. He came up here looking
for Burt Drake. Drake had won a pot
'of money one day when he was visit
ing down in Benton, and Ruggles want

"Yup, I know him."

Chevrolet Truck Sales
Set New High For August

A new all-time record for truck
sales in a single month was set by
Chevrolet in August, w. E. Fish
manager of the commercial car de-
partment of the Chevrolet Motor
Company, announced yesterday.
There were 21,776 trucks delivered
In the United States in August, Mr.
Fish said. The best previous August
was in 1928, when the total was
2O,641. Last year, 16,748 trucks were
delivered in August, so that the
record just achieved is more than 30
per cent improvement over the cor.
responding month in 1884.
"Sales of these commercial We
hicles," said Mr.. Fish, "were a most
important factor in the spectacular
sales record which Chevrolet dealers
established in August, during which
month they delivered 99,018 units for
o new all-time August record. In
crease in truck volume is doubly graf
flying because in addition to return
ing profits it forecasts improved bus
mess for the future. Such a showing
rs was made last month is a reliable
indication that commercial vehicles
will be in demand right on through
the fall"

Maryland Crop Report
For September /, 1885

College Park, Nd, September
II, 1854 two percent decrease
in Maryland corn production pros
poets, slight decrease in apples,
and a percent increase in to-
bacco compared with the outlook a
month ago is Indicated by the
September 1 crop survey of the
Maryland Crop Reporting Service.
This survey reflects conditions as
of September /, hence does not
take into account the severe crop
damage which occurred during the
storm of last week. Corn, late hays
and truck crops on the Eastern
Shore were severely injured while
in Southern Maryland tobacco
growers suffered heavy losses. The
amount of damage has not yet
been determined.
August weather was too dry for
corn over most sections of the
State. Cool days and nights tenn
pered the effects of the dry soil
conditions but at the same time
delayed maturity of the crop. The
estimated production of 17,956,0OO
bushels compares with 18,224,00O
bushels estimated last month, last
years crop of 16,995,000 bushels
and the 5-year (192s-1932) aver
age Of 1898, 900 bushels. Since the
survey was made, heavy storm
damage has occurred on the East
ern Shore and in Southern Mary
land.
Early August rains improved
tobacco prospects. Over half Of the
crop was housed by September /.
Prospects on September / indicat-
ed production of 23,562, 900
pounds as compared with last
months estimate of 22,750,OOO
pounds, the 1884 crop of 23,418, 900
pounds and the 5-year (1928-1932)
average of 24,018,OOO pounds. The
survey upon which the September
l estimated is based, was made
prior to last weeks storm, hence
does not reflect the damage which
resulted.
Tame hay production is estimat-
ed at $4,000 tons. This compares
with the 1884 crop of 578, 900 tons
and the 5-year (192S-1932) aver
age production of 458,0O0 tons.
Pasture condition declined during
the month as a result of the dry
weather but is still above average
for this part of the season. Soy
bean and >cowpea condition con-
tinues above average. Soybean hay
on the Southern Eastern Shore
was damaged by the recent storm.
The potato crop is now estimated
at 3,564,000 bushels as compared
with last years production of g.
$4,000 bushels and the 5-year
(1928-1932) average of 3,339,000
bushels. Extensive damage from
blight is reported in the Western
Counties. Sweet potato production
of 775,000 bushels compares with
100000 bushels last year and the
5-year (1928-1992) average of l.
374,000 bushels. While the recent
storm damage to sweet potatoes
has not been determined, all re-
ports indicate extensive injury.
Buckwheat improved during the
month and prospects now indicate
an average crop.
SeHtember l apple condition in
dicates total crop of 2,124,000
bushels. Last years crop was l.
100000 bushels while the average
is 2,053,000 bushels. The CONNER
cial crop of 100000 bushels is
about 8 percent below average. The
September 1 peach production es-
innate of $4,000 bushels compares
with $4,000 bushels last year and
the 5-year (192S-1932) average of
100000 bushels. Both pears and
grapes are slightly below average.
