NEW FORDs ON DISPLAY

Introduction of the 1887 Ford VS.
on Saturday drew crowds to dealers
shOwrOOms across the nation that
could only be compared with those
at the presentation of the Model "A
in 1927, it was announced this week
at the home Offices of the Ford Mo-
tor Company. 1t was believed the
attendance of many millions on that
occasion was exceeded Saturday.
Crowds were so large that fire.
quently they exceeded the capacity
of the show rooms and people had to
return to get into see the new cars,
dealers reported.
Fragmentary reports from some of
the cOmpany's SO United States
branches indicated that many deal
ers set an all-time record for one
days new car sales on Saturday.
Indicative of the unusual interest
in the new car in Detroit, home Of
the automotive industry, was the
Sunday attendance at the Ford Ro-
tunda in Dearborn, where there was
an exhibit of the complete Ford
lire. During the day 3O,O64 persons
were clOcked through the five great
doors of the Rotunda, setting new
one days record for attendance that
has only been approached once be-
fore. That was on Memorial Day,
1886, when 28.20O persons were
elOcked through soon after the new
vititor's building was opened.
On the first day of the pre-shoW-
ing of the 1887 car at the Hotel Asa
tor, New York City, attendance was
10000, double the number there at
the pre-showing of the 1886 model.
The unusual interest aroused bg
the new so horsepower VS. engine.
the attractive new appearance Of the
cars and the new low prices were
credited with attracting the great
number Of visitors.
Thousands Of those who entered
the showrooms expressed their ina
terest in the smaller engine, which
enables Ford to offer one automobile
with a choice Of so horsepower
unit for extreme economy or the
well-known IS horsepower VS. for
high performance.

DELAWARE SONS HONOR FARMERS Given ADVICE
JOHN v. POSTLES ON GROWING SOY BEANS
[Cortirned Ion Fir,t Paeel

LCOHftnHed from FfTSf rage
perimental Farm have demonstrated
that an application of 100 pounds of
nitrate of soda, $50 pounds of super
phosphate, and IS pounds of muri-
ate of potash per acre per crop is
not sufficient to maintain the orig
inal crop yielding power of the soil, +"
Schuster told the assembled agTOn-
omists.
He pointed out that the yield Of
soy beans at the end of the "a
year-test period from the plots
treated with that fertilizer mixture
was only two more bushels per acre
than the yield from untreated plots
at the beginning of the test.
Calculations made at the Univer-
sity of Delaware on the basis of
plant food removed from the soil by
a soy bean crop averaging 80 bush
els per acre indicated that an ap-
plication of from 500 to 1000 pounds
OF 5-5-1O fertilizer would be neces-
sary to maintain the production
power of the soil.
The meeting was also attended by
Professor H. c. Harris and two
seniors in the school of agriculture
who are majoring in agrOnOmy-Wil-
liam Killough and Alfred HOadley.

PUNISHING CHAIN STORES

"One minor but significant cleo
tiOn result was the defeat in the
California referendum of the license
tax on chain stores running up to
$500 a unit" says an editorial in
the New York Times. This was
clearly a punitive and not a reve-
INCREASING tax, as it applied to the
chain alone and not to their conf
petitOrs. 1t is instructive to notice
that the voters not only favored the
repeal of the tax but that the larg-
est majOrities in favor of repeal
came from the rural districts.
"This appears to be the first time
that this particular question has
been submitted to a direct popular
statewide vote. The result does not
prove that the voters lack sympathy
with the problems Of the small in
dependent stOrekeepers, but it does
indicate that the majority of them
are aware of their gains as cOnsum-
ers through the economies that the
chains have made possible.
"The legislators of some twenty
states which now impose special
taxes on chain stores should study
the implications of this California
referendum. carefully. They should
ask themselves whether they have
not been deceived. into believing
that the opposition to chain stores
is much wider than it really is. The
referendum, also, encourages the
hone that the ill-adVised Patman-
Robinson act, rushed through with
no adequate debate in the final days
of the last session of Congress, will
be sharply revised or repealed"
