Won on the oath
Drive after drive and put after
putt, Elmer Sears and Benny Kel-
lerman golfed their way around
the Barbara Worth course in the
current tournament They got
around the 18, and then started
over the course all over again.
The fault was in Kellerman's fault
less putting, Elmer said. 1t was
in Elmer's sliceless drives, Benny
averred. Ted Keeble, most ardent
rooter CT them all, said it was
because the boys had a dime q
hole up, and they were nervous.
They came into the 23rd even up,
and the whole club turned out TO
watch the finish. The lads putted
until the sun went down and the
moC,n came up, then decided they'd
better settle it in the 10Th hole
tent Elmer is deadly there, but
Kellerman is a valiant loser. Two
rattles they were even, then Elmer
corrected his hook, and they roll
ed Just right. The match went to
Elmer one up on the third horse.

Leap Year Baby
A bouquet goes also to Fred

CHEVROLET NOTES

The increasing beauty of the new
automobiles has created a demand
on the part of new car buyers for
more accessories, and this demand is
making itself felt throughout the in
dustry during the Christmas buying
season as never before, according to
NJ. D. Douglas. Chevrolet parts and
accessories merchandising manager.
Automobile owners are taking
greater and greater pride in their
cars" MIR. Douglas declared. "A
steady rising sale of accessories has
been the result. Such items as a
radio, heater. defrOster. clock. or
vanity mirror are now being pur-
chased as Christmas gifts. They not
only add to the appearance of the
car. but they also increase the safe
ty. comfort, and convenience of driv-
ing.
Further, the fact that the public
is spending more and more time on
the highways has greatly stimulated
the vogue of accessories" Mr.. Doug
las said.
Elaborate plans have been made
to meet this increased demand for
extra equipment at Christmas time
by providing dealers with complete
lines of accessories engineered to
Chevrolet standards and designed to
provide maximum satisfaction for
owners. according to Mr.. Douglas.
This years accessories have been |
made eveilable at most attractive |
prices permitted by Chevrolet's high |
volume production. Each item will |
be wrapped in gay Christmas paper /
and delivered complete with a gift /
card which the donor may attach if
he desires.
Chevrolet dealers throughout the
country will make special efforts to
install gift accessories at a time
most convenient to the recipient dur
ing the holiday season.

PASTURE AND HAY IS

ing and soil depicting, and no doubt
this new agricultural program will
result in increased paintings of
legumes and other land improved
crops.
Since 1927 the growing Of more
and better alfalfa has been regarded
az an important project, the results
of which have been obtained each
year by surveys of seed distribution.
From this information the seeded
acreage has been estimated, and the
same procedure was followed later
with sweet clover and scarlet clover.
The sweet clover surveys started in
1928. while scarlet clover was not
added to the list until 1881, and this
past year was the first time that
lespedeza has been included in these
surveys.
According to these records, scarlet
clover remains the leading hay crop
in Kent County, for there were 1850
acres grown this past year, as COM
pared to 653 acres of alfalfa, 210
acres of sweet clover, and 1910
acres of lespedeza, resulting in a to-
tai of 6.753 acres of these four
legumes. In addition to these crops,
there is a large acreage planted each
year to sOybeans. sOwpeas, red clO-
yer, vetch, and other soil improve
ment and feed crops for which no
survey reords have been secured.
These figures. therefore, represent
but a portion of the crops which are
being grown in Kent County for the
various purposes herein mentioned. (
AS this section of the United States !
generally is lacking in hay crops. (
these projects will be continued un-
til there is a sufficient acreage to /
meet our local feed requirements,
and to also improve and maintain
soil fertility along with the program
for balanced production of the major
grain and other cash crops which .
are placed upon the market.
