Chevrolet Dealers1
Used Cars By.
*
To raise used car advertising |
and merchandising to new standards
of excellence and dignity,
the nation-wide dealer organization
of the Chevrolet Motor Company
has arranged for a co-ope-1
rative national campaign in news- j'
papers and magazines. The advertising
will carry to the public
the pledge of the dealer organi- J
zation that all its members will
stand back of the used cars they
sell. That is, used car prospects
are to receive the same assurance
that is given to purchasers i
of new cars?that the car hasj;
been tested, tuned, and condition- ]
ed, and is ready to give satisiac- ]
tory service. .
The national used car advertising
campaign will supplement <
the local newspaper advertising j
of the dealer, just as Chevrolet's ,
national advertising supplements j
local new car copy. In addition, ]
display copy, to be localized with
dealers' names and a listing of
their used car offerings, will be ;
supplied to dealers for their in- j,
sertion in their newspapers. 11
W. E. Holler, vice president!
and general sales manager of j
Chevrolet, in announcing the new
approach to used car merchandising,
pointed out that ten years
ago Chevrolet and its dealer organization
pioneered in raising
the standards of the used car
business, and in difnifying it in
accordance with its importance
to the dealers and the industry
as a whole.
"Ten years ago," said Mr. Holler,
"we instituted the now famous
'red tag' guarantee as a j
means of certifying used cars as I
worthV of tVlA hnvor'fi /?nnfi/Iorfo I
The tag is the dealer's assurance
that the used car is exactly as
represented. Now we are going
to make the red tag familiar to
additional millions of newspaper
and magazine readers, and impress
upon them that the tag is
a certificate of merit. In Sunday
newspapers and in magazines, the
tag will be reproduced in color,
full size, so that all may read its
list of 20 units or operations that
the Chevrolet dealer guarantees
to have been checked before the j
car is offered for sale.
"Actually, the merchandising!
of used cars is a gigantic busi-1
ness. Among our own dealers i
alone, it represented in 1934 the j
sale of 1,160,000 vehicles. Our I
dealers have decided, therefore, |
that it is as worthy of display!
advertising and dignified copy as '
are new cars, and we are there-1
fore making available to all our |
dealers, mats of well displayed j
used car advertisements, to give I
the dealers an opportunity to
raise this branch of their activity
| to the high plane that it deserves
to occupy."
Receiving Cash
Income For Wood
?;
North Carolina FarmersAre
Asked Not To Forget
Cash To Be Derived
From Sale Of Firewood i
During Winter
?????
North Carolina farmers are. being
asked not to overlook the
sale of firewood as a source of
cash income.
Woodlands on thousands of
farms in the State will yield an
annual harvest of firewood without
depreciating in value, accord- j
ing to R. W. Graeber, extension
forester at State College.
Given the DroDer care and man-1
agement, wooded areas may be
well considered timber and fuel
crops, he added. Wood lots are
not merely idle land to be neglected.
The extension forester, county
farm agents, and forest authorities
are always glad to give suggestions
as to how the wood may j
be cut selectively so the land will
continue to produce an annual
harvest.
Graeber also pointed out that
many county and city school officials
will be makinc fuel con-1
tracts in June and July. He suggested
that many farmers should
be able to secure contracts to
supply part of this fuel supply.
One cord of air-dry oak or
hickory wood has a heating value
equal to one ton of coal. Graeber
stated by way of comparison.
A cord of air-dry pine is
equivalent to three-fourths ton of
coal.
Farm timber growers can supply
schools with fuel at an actual
money saving to the school
and at the same time make a
fair profit for themselves, he
commented.
He also brought out the point
that when fuel money is spent
cation should be made. Use from
four to six pounds of calcium
arsenate to the acre and repeat
the application five days after
the first dusting. Counts for infestation
should be made each
week and applications made as
may be necessary to keep damage
below 10 per cent.

FHA Credit For
Farms Explained
A. K. Robertson, State Rural
Housing Supervisor,
At N. C. State College,
Says There Seems To Be
Misunderstanding Concerning
Rural Loans
There seems to be some misinderstanding
about loans on rural
property under the Federal
Housing Administration, says A.
K. Robertson, state rural housing
supervisor at State College.
The FHA plan operates solely
on funds or credit made availible
through local institutions, he
explained. The government is not
making any loans under this
plan.
County rural housing committees
have been and are being set
up to aid farmers secure loans
or credit on reasonable terms.
The committees are also ready
to offer suggestions about rural
housing improvements.
Under the FHA plan, loans are
made to finance the repairing or
improvement of farm homes,
buildings, and other permanent
equipment. Any responsible farmer
may apply for amounts up
to $2,000. Repayments are to be
made over a period of one to
five years.
The Federal land bank loans,
land bank commissioner loans
and production credit association
loans do not come within the
scope of the FHA program, Robertson
pointed out, since they are
designed for other purposes.
However, he said, the land
bank loans can be secured for
the purpose of buying equipment
and materials for farm buildings,
but these loans must be
secured by first mortgages.
The FHA committees and officials
have negotiated agreements
with large numbers of local institutions
to supply loans 01
credit under the housing program,
Robertson added, and all
farmers who wish to improve
for firewood, it remains in the
community, giving the farmers
and timber producers money tc
pay local taxes or to spend for
other things.

Summer Legumes
Make Good Hay
Soybeans And Cowpeas
Recommended As Good
Soil' Builders And Will
Follow Small Grain Crops
For small grain fields where |
lespedeza was not sown last winter,
soybeans and cowpeas are j
recommended as good soil building
or hay crops to be planted j
promptly after the grains have!
been harvested.
Whether they should be grown
for hay or for soil building de-1
pends upon the requirements of:
the individual farmer, says P. H. j
Kime, plant breeding agronomist
at State College.
Where a farmer's land is fer- [
i tile, but his hay supply is limit
ed, hay legumes should be grown 11
1 on at least a part of the small
! grain acreage. If the fields are j
j run down, soil building should be
the main consideration.
Although legumes may be used
I for either hay or soil building, |
they cannot serve both purposes. |
, I Kime added, since the entire |
I plant should be plowed under
1 when soil improvement is the ob'.
jective.
11 A great deal of the nitrogen j
I and other fertilizering elements |
(| is contained in that part of the
plant which is above ground,
Kime explained.
For hay, to be planted in June,'
| he recommends the Laredo, Vir- j
, ginia Herman, and Tokyo varieties
of sovbeans in the order
, I named. For soil building he fav-!
I ors Mammoth Yellow. Tokyo, and
11 Biloxi.
. | Leading varieties of cowpeas
. j for either hay or soil improve-1
' i ment are Whippoorwill, Groit,
, Brabham, Iron and Clay.
Before planting soybeans or
cowpeas, plow or disk the soil
! J thoroughly, then harrow it, Kime
, i says. The seed may be drilled in,
. I sown broadcast, or planted in
rows 24 to 36 inches apart.
I When grown for hay, legumes
, should be fertilized to keep them j
I from depleting the soil. On ave-''
> j rage coastal plain soils, 300 lbs.
i j of 2-8-4 to the acre is recommeni!
ded. On average mountain or
: Piedmont soils, 300 pounds of

Red clover being grown for
hay in Lincoln County appears to
be the best that has been produced
in the county for some
years, reports the growers.
Nitrate of soda is being applied
to tobacco plant beds in
Beaufort County in an effort to
push growth of those plants affected
by blue mold.
An American boy will quit the
farm to keep from getting up at
5 a. m. After he goes in business
in the city he gets up at
4 a. m. to play golf.
Though the wheat crop has
been injured by excessive rains,
oats loolj. fine, as do the various
hay mixtures planted last fall,
report piedmont farm agents.
