Cricket News
and his father, W. E. Colvard,
well known business man of this
city. The meeting took place
Tuesday evening in the banquet
hall of Hotel Wilkes.
Mr. Colvard is agent for Shell
Products in the four counties of
Ashe, Alleghany, Watauga and
Wilkes counties, and since taking
the Shell agency a little over six
years ago he has developed a
.splendid btislness among the mo
torists of northwest North Caro
lina and now' has a latge num
ber of dealers in his territory.
There were over sixty people
at the banquet, and this number
did not include all of the deal
ers. some of whom were unable
to attend for various reasons. It
was a happy occasion, with plen
ty of good things to eat, (turkey
with the trimmings), and favors
for everyone present.
The prime purpose of the meet
ing, in addition to getting the
Shell folks together, was to intro
duce the two new Shell products
just placed on the market to the
Shell dealers—these products be
ing Super Shell and Shell Prem
ium ga.'=oliiies, and Messrs. L. R.
Lyon, J. V. Grove. AV., T. Davis,
and H. C. Hax, of the Shell
Charlotte branch office, were
nreseiit to tell those presetil all
ahoiit the new prodiict.s and the
big advertising program that is
now under way.
.Mr. Lyon explained in detail
the Shell promotional campaign
wliich is introducing the new
gasolines which are backed by
thousands of actual tests. He ex
plained that the letters, “RPR,”
means “Road Performance Rat
ing,” ana urged the motoring
public to test the new Shell gas
olines with actual road tests. Mr.
Lyon urged every Shell dealer to
increase his enthusiasm to ac
quaint more motorists than ever
before to burn Shell in their mo
tors.
Two interesting motion pic
tures were then shown. The first
was ’’The Largest Club in The
World,’’ which emphasized the
Share-The-Road Club being pro
moted by the Shell Company and
dealers, and also pictured the dis
courteous and careless motorist
as “the screwdriver,” and the
areless pedestrian, "The Screw-
jay.” The other picture In tech
nicolor, was entitled, “Pass porta
to Profits,” and pointed out to
Shell dealers how they may easily
increase their sales. j
The banquet hall was gaily |
decorated with Shell banners and |
advertising materials, and Frank j
■Willis and Harold Macklin, two
well known colored musicians,
were present with their string in
struments and delighted the gath
ering with a number of selections.

toastmaster during the evening.

Question; What is the best diet- |
ance between hills and rows in j
setting tobacco plants? j
Answer: A distance of 24
inches between hills with the
rows four feet wide has proven,
to be most satisfactory under
average conditions. On the more!
fertile soil, even closer spacing
on the row will be profitable. The
plants should 'be of uniform size
and free from disease. The first
cultivation should be made about
a week or ten days after trans
planting followed by cultivation
