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.

Whither Away, Pretty Maids? |
THESE four carefree lassies were
snapped trying out the new side
walk between the Ford Exposition
and the General Motors Building at
the New York World's Fair.
So many Fair visitors wanted to
take a shortcut across the wide ex
panse of?lawn?bet woeii?rtir?nrrr
popular exhibit buildings this sum
mer that the two groat motor com
panies Joined in laying this new
675 foot walk for the 1940 Fair. It
will connect new side entrances to
the two pavilions, which will be
opened to help care for the great
crowds next summer.
Hardly was the new walk laid
before these girls came swinging
along on an exploring trip around
the Fair grounds to see what
changes are under way. They have
all been workio *, a* the Fair since
the days when it was only an idea
and a pile of blueprints So there
isn't much goes on without them

SHORT COURSE

?
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.
