Raleigh. Nov. 2(5.—A record
tobacco crop in for North!
Caroliina this year. l'!T. ISS.nii'i
pounds estimated by the fed-)
oral government, will pass tin
192(1 mark of }:>:>,Toii.oiio
pounds which averaged 25c a
pound.
The average yield per acre
this year is 69:{ pounds, in 1926
it was 68: , > pounds, in 1925 it i
was 670 pounds for the state:
as a whole.
The state-federal crop re-;
porting service, department of i
agriculture here, finds the yield
per acre in north mountain
counties to be 6;i2 pounds, in
southern mountain counties 700
pounds; in piedmont counties,

The quality this year is es
timated at 80 per cent for the
state compared with 81 in
1926 and 75 per cent in 1925.
The quality by sections: Moun
tain counties, north 83; south
ern 85; piedmont, north 85,
central 89, southern 81; coast
al, north 75, central 78, south
ern 78.
These figures make up the
details of the November 1
crop report, and the crop re
porting service says in its
, statement, "It is strange how
most farmers will not study
this kind of information, furn
ished by thousands of North
Carolina farmers, but will
readily support the selfish var
ious objections raised against
the very reports that the farm
ers need so greatly."
i The 1920 previous crop av

■so unsatisfactory that the
following year's t p was n -
duced -12 per tv: !.

was the general complaints by 1
farmers or some other cause,
the October sales ot' 133,G2',-
441 pounds at $22.81 average
price f)er 100 pounds showed an
appreciable improvement over
the September sales prices. '
The tobacco acreage was in

Many Radical Changes Have

a j irtuiv ' i an automobile that i
IH'fforniau . appeuran e ami m -
chanical features has heretjfor •
been associated with a considerably
fiijjher pri.'e class.
Unusual speed ami a -colt-ratio i
art- anion;; the mitstamlint; featur.'-i
of the IH'\V car. It is announced t.s
heinir able to make 55 to 00 inile-i
an hour, with ease. In recent test-,
it has made even more without
difficulty. What is more import
ant, it is stated that when traveling
at such speeds, it holds the road
easily, and with comfort to driver
and passengers. It is also stated with
equal positiveness however, that it
performs in an equally spectacular
manner on had roads. In its de
sign. Air. Ford has held to his
original idea of a car which can
meet all conditions and types of
roads.
Appreciating the constantly in
creasing importance «if acceleration,
the Ford Motor Company has given
a "•real ileal of study to this feature
of the new car. In high gear tesrs
with two passengers in a Tudor
sedan it has shown an acceleration
of from 5 to 2f> miles an hour 1:1
S 1-2 seconds.
The new Ford ear also introduces
a new type of four-wheel brakes.
An exclusive Ford development, thev
are of the mechanical, shoe-expand
ing type, ana are self-centering.
The brake pedal and the hand brake
each operates all four brakes. It is
stated that this is the most reliable
and simplest type of four-wheel
brake, and also the easiest to adjusL,
all adjustments being made from
the outside without removing any
parts.
' An engine that. is practically
i vibrationlcss develops 40 horsepower
at 2.21 M) revolutions per minute.
This low revolution speed in ratio
to the high horsepower is illustrat
ive of the unusual etliciency of th •
engine. Also, it means longer life,
the lower engine speed insuring les.-»
wear on engine parts. The low re*'
oiution speed is also a substantial
factor in lessening vibration. The
bore is .'! 7-H inches, stroke 4 1-'2
inches. The unusually large crank
shaft, which is both statically an I
I'ynamically balanced, weighs 2S
pounds. This halan. ing, combined
with the lightness of aluminum alloy
pistons, further combine to reduce
reduce vibration and increase riding
and driving comfort and safety.
In addition to freedom vibration,
it is announced that the car is un
usually quiet, a great deal of atten
tion having been paid to this feat
ure by the Ford engineers. In the
engine, the timing geais arc naiv
of bakelived labile, whi.h is much
quieter than metal. The > am.- on
the camshaft have been so designed
as to prevent valve fluking.
