NEW FORD TRUCK
LISTS WORLD OF
NEW FEATURE S
More Horsepower. Tubeless Tires,
Wraparound Windshield
Comfort and Safety
Features Added

Ford's 200 new 1856 truck
models with greater engine per-
Torrance and payload capacity go
on display in $500 Ford dealer
showrooms throughout the coun-
try September %.
Two new models have been
added to the Ford truck line-a
T-750 tandem axle model in the
heavy truck series, and a new,
longer wheelbase pickup.
Gross vehicles weights extend
from 5000 pounds on the pickup
to $4,000 pounds on the heavy duty
tandem. axle models.
For 1856, Ford's cab design in
PRODUCES increased visibility of
wraparound windshields and op-
tional wraparound rear windows.
introduced for the first time to
the trucking industry are two
standard safety features safety
steering wheel and safety door
latches. Seat bells are optional.
The safety steering wheel is de-
signed with a rim three inches
above the horn button to give the
drivers chest added protection
from the steering column in case
of a crash.
Also, new safety door latch
reduces the chance that doors will
open in an accident, providing oc-
cupants added protection from be-
ing thrown out of the cab.
Tubeless tires, standard equip
ment this year, increase Ford
truck economy. Larger payloads
can be carried because tubeless
tires and wheels weigh less, which
is important to trucker with as
many as 10 tires on his truck.
They reduce tire-change time up
to 70 per cent.
Ford's short stroke, low friction
engine design has been continued
this year in eight engine combina-
lions developed for more power,
fuel savings and durability.
Horsepower has been increased
in all engines, by 1927 per cent in
the smallest 223 Gu. in. six cylin-
der engine rated at 1873 hip to 17.6
per cent in the largest 1872 Gu. in.
heavy duty Y-8 engine rated at
200 hp when equipped with a four
barrel carburetor.
In the medium-heavy truck
series, a special heavy-duty 1913
hp Y-8 engine is available equipped
with a four barrel carburetor-one
of the most powerful engines in
this weight class.
In the heavy truck series, an
optional power package consists of
four-barrel carburetion, dual ex-
hausts and special cold air intake.
The intake is a hood airscoop, in
creasing efficiency and perform
ance. The 1892 GU. in. engine devel-
ops 200 hp with this equipment.
Another option is a thermostatic
fan which adds power to heavy
trucks by disengaging the engine
fan at low operating temperatures.
This provides up to Is more disable
horsepower at the clutch
In all engines, improved mani
folding and valving moves the
mixture in and out of the combus-
ton chamber more efficiently.
In addition to wraparound wind
shield design, styling advances in
clude a new one-piece grille with
integral head lamp hoods and
housings. The hooded 1856 roof ex-
tends ahead of the windshield, and

FARMERS TO COMPARE
MARKET AND SUPPORT PRICE

North Carolina farmers will get
the most for their cotton crops by
finding out support prices and
marketing according, w. G. Tus-
sey, Extension cotton marketing
specialist at State College, said
yesterday.
Many farmers sell below support
quainted with the government loan
prices because they aren't ac-
rates. In some localities, says
Tussey, prevailing market prices
for cotton are less than the gov
eminent support prices.
Farmers can easily receive the
benefits of the government price
floor" by having their cotton
classed and placed in approved
storage, and then securing a Com
modify Credit Corporation loan on
it. If cotton prices rise before next
August 1, they may redeem their
cotton and sell it for the higher
price. If prices drop, the farmer
lets the CCC assume title to the
cotton, and he keeps the full
amount of the loan.
1855 Government Support

SOUGHT-The District lodges
Of the American Federation Of
Government Employees have
adopted . resolution asking that
Congress approve legislation
specifically requiring agencies to
give so-day warning notices. to
Federal employees that their
work is unsatisfactory before
they can be dismissed.
Five years ago as part Of the
Performance Rating Act Of 1850.
Congress provided that employees
be given q s0-day warning notice
before they received "unsatis-
factory" ratings. However. the
United States Court Of Appeals
recently ruled that agencies can
IRE ineficient employees under the
