Mr. R E. Nance. Professor of Anita)
Husbandry. State College, Raigh,
will be in the county on I)ennber

iring demonstrations. Arrangetenta
have been made to bold two
leetlngs during the day in order to
take them as convenient to the
irmers as possible.
On Wednesday morning, December
1, si 9 a. m., a pork cutting and I
uring demonstration will be held at I
tie farm of Mr. J. G. Biookshire, 3
dies east of Boone.
On Wednesday afternoon at 2 p. m.
pork cutting and curing demonstraion
will be held at the farm of Mr
ohn Dugger, Vilas.
We have been fortunate in securing
he services of Mr. Nance for these
emonstrations and the farmers of
he county should take advantage of
his opportunity to learn the better
iethod3 of cutting and curing meat.
The farmers of the county are inked
to attend the demonstration
losest their home. The farmers who
ttend these meetings, and follow
he Instructions given by Mr. Nance,
ill be able to furnish their families

Chevrolet November
Sales Show Increase
Chevrolet retail sales during the
irst 20 days of November totalled
:0,707 units, nearly double the pre-1
ions high record for that period, it
vas announced at the offices of the
Chevrolet Motor Co., Detroit.
Only once in Chevrolet history, in
.926, has the sales total for the
nonth, of November exceeded that
or the first 20 days of the present
nonth, the records show. Since the
November, 1926, figure was only
Lbout 5,000 higher, the current November
will be. by a wide margin,
he greatest in the history of the
rompany.
The new 20-dhy record, following
he introduction of hew models Nov.
J, is nearly three times as great as
he best previous post-announcement
20 days since January, 1928. With
he exxceptlon of April, this year,
here has not been a first 20-day period
in any month to equal it 3ince

''Better adjustments between production

possible, in local communities and the
nation as a whole. By comparing with
the census of distribution made in
1929 and the census of distribution,
service, business, amusements and
hotels made in 1933, it will be possible
to see the extent of recovery and
to discover trends. The latter is important.
