Hay Yield Is
AO-Time High
Despite unfavorable weather
1 conditions during June and July,
the 1882 average yield for all hay
was the highest ever recorded (or
North Carolina, the State Farm
Report said today .
The crop was harvested from
1,227,000 acres, an average yield
of 1.08 tons per acre.
The yield compares with an
average of 1.01 tons harvested
front 1,105,000 acres a year ear
lier.
Total production at 1,350,MO?
almost 10 per cent larger than the
1051 production of 1,200,000 tons
?was the third highest recorded
for the state. It was topped la
1005 and 1048.
All hay crops?particularly les
pedexa and alfalfa, responded
quite well to rains which broke
the summer drought around Aug.
1. the report asserted.
Alfalfa growers obtained two
heavy cuttings after the rain. Les
pedeza which had made little
growth prior to the rains made j
abundant growth after Aug. 1, as
did weeds and crabgrass, the re
port said.
As a result, the tonnage of ma
terial harvested from the lespe
deaa acreage far exceeded early
expectations.

UNIFLO?. ..an entirely new idea in en

new car engine year 'round than any
other leading heavy duty motor oil. It
replaces the different grades of motor
oil many motorists have had to use in
different seasons of the year ... giving
you one all-around motor oil for all
temperatures. Uniflo flows freely at 25?
below zero and gives you quick' easy
starts with less drain on fbur battery. __
Yet at engine temperatures of 350* or.
more you get outstanding lubrication
protection.
Until now, carbon deposits have re
duced the efficiency of new engines after
a few thousand miles ... often causing
knock ^ Uniflo checks these deposits in
a clean engine, keeps it running like
new and greatly reduces engine wear.
These features make it the ideal
motor oil for modern tight-fitting high
compression engines. Uniflo was de
veloped only for such engines ? in older
engines our other fine motor oils will
give full protection. Uniflo is approved
by leading car manufacturers for year
