How to obtain these and other objectives can become a project of the Merchants Committee of the Murphy Chamber of Commer ce. which is your organization", C. R. Freed, executive secretary said. "It is a known fact that in com munities where merchants work together all fare better than in ot her communities where they do not cooperate. The merchants in Murphy will all do better by work ing together on ideas. Some of the recommended ideas with which the merchants should concern themselves include com bined advertising, special days, personnel retail training course, I : : store moderinzation improve; selection of merchandise, stori hours, parking facilities, trans portation, special retail event; such as clearance sales, auctior sales, farmers day, business edu cation day and credit bureau as a special service. One of these ideas should be a study of the characteri*tics of the trading area such as age and sex, source of in come, how many live on farms, own their own homes, have homes wired for electricity, own auto mobiles and subscribe to the local papers.

But not any more. William J. Wells and Fred Swalm, have perfected and built a machine that not only gets the work done much quicker, but eliminates the back breaking toil also. Three men stand on platforms on each side of the detassler pull the tassels from the corn as the ma chine goes through. Production is much faster and easier. The platforms can be adjusted to the height of the corn, so there is no need to strain to reach the tall- corn tassels. Mr. Wells and Mr. Swalm had nothing more than an Idea and a very small picture to start with. They talked and talked for long hours, but soon their "Detassel lng Machine" began to take shape. Now, Mr. Wells can detassel corn with half as much labor. Be sides that, the six men who now work with the machine have a much easier task than the 12 who formerly did the work. Mr. Wells has been raising and producing for market Hvbrid U. S. seed corn, which is produced by pulling the tassels from one kind of corn and leaving it in the other to pollinate it. In addition to his G. I. farm training1, he has had practical farm experience. He had no mechanical experience, besid es on the farm. Mr. Wells is 29 years old. His , | wife is the former Jeanne Stiles. | They have a girl, Betty, 5, and a 1 boy, Ray, 17 months. 5 ! The machine hs^ not oeer. of ' j ficially tested yet, but Mr. Wells ? : feels sure that it will pass any in 1 j spection. ,1 Artificial Breeding Discussion Sehednied i There will be a 'meeting: In the ?
