PAGE EIGHT Fanners Urged To Order Fertilizer Concern Grows Regard ing Strike and Slow Movement Only by ordering fertilizers now for immediate shipment will the farmer be assured of having plenty on hand at planting time,” says leading ferti lizer manufacturers. 'Growing con cert! over the slow movement of ferti lizers and the potash strike has led some manufacturers to adopt a policy that all orders for future shipment are subject to the goods being avail able at the time of shipment. Many farmers have shared the opin ion that mixed fertilizers would be plentiful during the coming spring season, but authoritative sources point out two important factors which might cause a serious fertilizer situ ation. “(1) Lack of interest on the part of farmers in taking early delivery of fertilizers. If the anticipated amount of mixed fertilizers is used this spring, it will be next to impossible for the industry to meet these requirements unless deliveries begin immediately. Most fertilizer plants can ship good, well-cured goods now, but these must be moved out to make room for ad ditional materials coming in. If every farmer postpones his order, the de livery season will be shortened, caus ing factories to become crowded and shipments to be delayed. Shipping orders can be handled promptly at this time; therefore farmers are urged to order now so they will have plenty of fertilizer on hand at planting time. i (2) Potash supply. Three of the major potash producers have been idle sin?e November 19, because of a labor strike. No settlement has been reach ed, although negotiations have been underway for some time. A consider able production of this important plant food has been lost, and each day the strike continues lessens the amount of potash that will be avail able in time for use this spring. Actu ally, a serious potash shortage has developed.” The fertilizer representatives stated that they were not alarmists, but in m/ » operation also pays on the telephone party line There’s a rich "pay-off” for cooperation on the telephone partv line —that "pay off” is better telephone service. When you use the telephone sharingly—space your calls rea sonably—hang up the receiver carefully—the habit spreads. First thing you know, everyone on the line will be doing it— and better telephone service is bound to be the result. Try it on your party line and see. You’ll be delighted with the difference it makes in your service.

C., THURSDAY, JANUARY 19, 1950. ' Grade ‘A* Barn Costs Farmer Only $817.50 An economy-minded Surry farmer, Robert Johnson of Route 4, Mt. Airy has converted a lean-to shed and an old tool room into a Grade A milk 1 barn and milk room at a ttoal cost of only $817.50, according to Henry O. Dunbar, assistant county agent for the State College Extension Service. The shed, located alongside an old bam which had been used to house seven cows, was being utilized as a junk or utility room. One day John ! son hit upon the idea of putting in some stanchions so he could start sell ing milk. He decided that as long as he was going to convert the shed into a decent milking bam he might as well make it Grade A. The shed was 14 by 30 feet in size. Johnson put in a four-inch cement floor, Bondex waterproof walls, and aluminum ceiling. He reduced the cost considerably by using second hand and one and one-quarter inch galvanized pipe' to make the seven Greenville Marble & Granite Works 710 Dickerson Avenue GREENVILLE, N. C.

That's the word spreading about Buick's brand-new F-263 valve-in-head engine, already proving itself in the hands of new Super owners Gall it if you will the biggest power story of the year. Call it another triumph in Buick’s long history of com ing up with car performance beyond compare. But, sir, when you step into, the sleek lined traveler pictured here —hang on to your hat. For you’ll be riding behind a power plant that is not only new but a major sensation of the 1950 season. You’ll be commanding the very latest word in valve-in-head power—the newest accomplishment of the organi zation with the country’s longest stretch of experience in this engine design. Here every fist-size fuel charge now delivers a huskier wallop. Shorter, lighter connecting rods mean that pistons flash with faster and livelier action. ' - Heavier crankshafts, floated on bigger, Stalls. Total cost of the pipe, includ ing elbows and T’s, was $19.50. He also bought seven sets of secondhand windows. For his milk room Johnson convert ed a 12 by 16 foot tool shed into an expensive-looking building. The shed had been built in 1945 at a cost of SIOO. Johnson put in a cement floor and used aluminum on the walls and ceiling. The surry farmer says he kept his cost at a minimum by buying some equipment that was slightly used, such as his cooler, wash basins, and windows. Labor cost of $135 is included in the total. The only item not includ ed is the price of a milker, which is not a necessity. Assistant Agent Dunbar believes Johnson’s bam is one of the cheapest in that section of the State.

And you, behind the wheel, wreathe your face in smiles at the lift you find! At the trigger-quick take-off—the mile-eating cruising stride your easy disdain for the passing gas pumps. You and your SUPBR are really stepping out—and Buick’s good name as “a sweetheart on the road” gains still more lustre. Nor is road-thrill the only blessing this new power plant brings. Simpler design makes service easier, so upkeep diminishes as a problem. Hydraulic valve-lifters keep valves properly seated for efficient operation—and for NEW TENANTS MOVE IN JAMES.
