Long Island Church Iik Teases Its Fund Combining a scriptural exhorta tion with a simple speed-up of the compound-interest theory, the Meth odist church of Boekville Centre. Long Island, has attained a building fund nucleus of $2,575 from an in vestment of $500 in three months. Not very churchly to make money that fast, you say7 Oh. but a was. and simple, too. Last October. 500 members of the congregation were handed $1 each, told to "go forth and multiply." Each member turned to his own pen way of turning an hon est dollar Que brtufht sheets, nf pew ter and brass with his dollar, hand wrought ash trays and other objects, and sold them. Another dug up an old family recipe for clam chowder, boilght the ingredients with her dol- j lar, and thus started a modest chow-1 diT-buitlmg sululiue. Anutlicr boughr photo film and paper, made photos of the minister, sold autographed copies The pastor himself. Karl F. Moore used his dollar to buy ma terials for making artificial fish lures, sells them with the sole provi sion that they ryj* be used on Sun days. Who said a dollar doesn't go as far nowadays as it used to? Farmers cash income from mar keting plus government payments during November totaled about $740,000,000. as compared with $707.

Registration for the State To bacco short course will begin Tuesday morning, January 1$, in Raleigh, but as there Is no charge for tuition, it is advis able to make application for en rollment as early as possible. A registration fee of one dollar is the only coot for the instruction which includes disease control, variety studies, fertilization, and actual practice in assorting and grading. A letter to Dan M. Paul, State College Station, Raleigh, will receive prompt1 attention. Feeding Determines Beef Cattle Profits worth Carolina's increasing popu lation of good quality beef cattle has brought a warning from Earl H. Hostetler, professor animal husband ry at State College, that profitable production depends upon a balanc ed feeding program. Ample feed can be provided in North Carolina and throughout the South from May until December or January through the use of pastures and field'gleanings. However, too many farmers leave their weaned calves and dows that are to freshen the next spring to shift for them selves during the winter months. Such a practice results in stunted yearlings and heavy cow and calf losses before grass is ready for graz ing the following spring. Much ol the available winter feed, such as corn and soybean field gleanings, corn silage, corn stover, cottonseed hulls, and grass hay, is low in protein and minerals. Howev er. Hostetler explained, it is essen tial that growing and pregnant ani mals be supplied with these two es sentials. ?7-?~? A good mineral mixture compos ed of equal parts of finely ground limestone (or oyster shell flour), steamed bone meal, and salt will give satisfactory results if kept before the animals at all times. The protein can usually be sup plied most economically by furnish ing feed that has a high protein con meal, soybean oil meal, or peanut oil meal. e Hogs Poorest spot in the agricultural piCtlXFK at the present time is the low price of hogs, brought about by a production of almost record pro portions in 1939. Commodity Prices Continue To Climb commodities have been skyrock eting again. For three successive days on the Liverpool exchange cot ton soared the maximum allowed in a single trading day. Silk advanced in Tokio. The price of soya beans, despite a record crop of 87,000,000 bushels in the U. S., climbed 60 per cent, to $1.30 a bushel. These harbingers of inflation did not disturb most of us whose thoughts last week were focused on last-minute shopping for Christmas. Yet several months from now, or maybe years, our standard of living may be pinched by the forces cur rently unloosed. Already silk stocking manufac turers are talking about a need to increase prices of women's hosiery next year. For a woman who "runs" through one pair a week, a 15 per cent price boost might meanhe'd have $5 or $6 less a year to spend for shoes or .some other necessity. Still, this new artificial fiber called ny lon may knock the props from un der soaring silk prices. Production of it began last week. Businesses Come and Go In Auto Industry Probably very few remember an automobile called the Buffum. Just to remind us that businesses come and go, that name, along with those of 790 other defunct motor cars, came to light in the Temporary Na tional Economic Committee hearings here the other day. Against this number of has-beens, only 21 make* of ears survive today. Some of tin other cars, now extinct, but which once represented dreams of fortune to many a hardworking businessman were the Black Crow and Black Dia mond, the Bliss, the Blood and the Twombley. There was a Hazard, a Sharp-Arrow, a Storck and a Ben Hur; also a Church and a Church field. With such a mortality rate? tures?any car that's run the gauntlet of such competition and survived must be turning out a pretty sound piuduit. Industry Watches Session of Congress While industry's eyes and ears are keenly attuned to the Capitol, with the opening of the third session of the 76th Congress, to learn what the solons may do about budgets and business, one thing business doesn't have to worry about much, any more, is that old bromide that "bus iness is never good in a presidential election year" ? which, of course, 1940 is. Examination of the records dating well back into the past cen tury fails to reveal any definite con nection between business conditions and election campaigns. Actually, in the period for which reliable busi ness indexes are available, the elec tion years appear to have turned out litlle bailer latin I than Vliitte, than the others. So don't let any pessimists discourage you with that old saw?It's old fashioned and un founded. Favors Ragweed liagweed as a cover to land that will be planted to tobacco seems to be desirable following various tests made by colleeg and federal scien tists. Tobacco grown after a natur al fallow and receiving the proper fertilizers has about the same char acteristics as whe nthe crop was grown on virgin land in the early Builds 6 Million Autos In 6 Years Detroit ? In connection "with the 28th anniversary of his association with Genera] Motors, M E. Coyle, general manager. Chevrolet Motor f Division, today announced the com- j pletion of the six-millionth automo bile built during the past six years by the industry's leader. During this period, when Chevro let has averaged?a nnllioiva-year production. Mr. Coyle has served as general manager of thi^ largest G. M. unit. He became affiliated with General Motors December 26, 1911, the first year that saw auto prndnc tion in the country pass the 200,000 mark. Chevrolet's six-millionth car tkir5* ing this six-year period came off the assembly line at Flint, December 22, giving the company the unique distinction ox having been the only auto manufacturer to maintain such an average in recent years. Mr. Coyle paid high tribute to C. E. Wetherald, general manufactur ing manager, and W. E. Holler, gen eral sales manager, whose close co operation and mutual effort have been responsible for the \establish ment of this unusual record. By way of contrast, Mr. Coyle compared Chevrolet's current pro duction rate with that set by the entire industry in 1911, drawing on his memory of early days with Gen it:<1 Motors uhn h u.r.s: only three years before. In that year, 210,000 automobiles were manufactured by all compan ies in the country. Chevrolet alone has produced more than 300,000 cars and trucks in the last quarter of 1939 "We are prouci of our million-a year average since January, 1934. In view of-the economic mid social ad justments that have been made In this period, such a record is a strong testimonial for Chevrolet," Mr. Coyle said. : * i,hange_ f// i.orn rarieiy Bringa Increased Yield By changing from the old variety of corn he had been growing in the past to a prolific variety, G.
