NEW PRICES
- .. ~ 1 1 ?
^ New prices on Dodge Brothers
' Motor cars, the snbjecf of wide
spread comment since it was made
known December 15 that a sweeping
reduction would be made, were an
, nounced today. The reducnons
' cover the entire list of Dodge
Brothers cars and range from 5205
on the Special Type A Sedan to $75
on the Commercial Cars and chassis.
The new and old prieeB on the dif
ferent types of cars follow:
Touring car, new price $795, old
price, $875; roadster, new price,
$795, old price, $855; Type B Sedan,
pew price, $805, old price, $1045;
Special Type A Sedan, new price,
$1075, old price, $1280;, coupe, new
price, $845, old price, $960; pane
commercial car, new price, $885, old
price, $960; screen commercial car,
new price, $810, old price, $885;
chassis, new price, $655, old price.
$730.
It was stated in the announce
ment of December 15 that the new
prices would be retroactive and that
all purchasers of Dodge Brothers
cars between that date and the time
the revised schedules were made
known would be refunded the differ
ence between the new and old prices.
In accordance with this promise, >
tiousands of checks are being made
out today by Dodge Brothers Deal
ers to such purchasers.
Although the announcement of
December 15 of the impending price
reductions With their retroactive j
feature, fell on Thursday, the effect
on sales was so immediate that
shi^ents for that week showed a
material increase over the preceding
week. '
The word that Dodge Brothers
were about to make marked reduc
tions in the prices of all their cars
was something of a bombshell to the
automobile industry, coming as it
did, at the time when several
manufacturers were known to be
preparing announcements of ad
vanced prices all along the line. In
fact, it is understood that some
makers had scheduled advertising
advising the public of the necessity
for higher prices, but these an
nouncements were suddenly can
celled upon publication of Dodge
Brothers reductions.
The situation which many, automo
bile manufacturers have found in
surmountable, except thiough in
creased prices, has been brought
about by the jump in tire costs, due
to tremendous advances in rubber
prices. Automobile manufacturers
I who planned making thzs increased
tire cost the basis of higher prices
found themselves in a quandary,
however, as a result of the Dodge
Brothers announcement.
In commenting on Dodge Brothers
reductions, Robert C. Graham, vice
president and general sales manager,
said: _
"The reduction in the prices of
Dodge Brothers cars is made possible
by a $10,000,000 investment in new
buildings and equipment which v til
arc Ktly increase capacity for 3 9^3.
This expansion program has greatly
improved our already hVnly devel
oped and economical system of pro
gressive assembly and reduced out
production costs. We believe in giv
ing the owners of Douue Brothers
cars the benefit of this reduction.
"These new prices apply to a pro
duct that is far and away the finest
Dodge Brothers have ever produced.
' There is no change in the policy up
on which Dodge Brothers established
their leadership eleven years ago,
that of constant improvement with
out yearly models."

News" of tftls wefeks Ne?s|.
Work will be poshed In Trahsy
for the coming: year. Jurt as
proof that this work" has paid an
is paying, in another county, the fol
lowing news item is carried as re
ported from tjie Agricultural Exten
sion" Bureau at Raleigh: Agricul
tural club work conducted with the
boys and girls of Catawba County by
Farm Agent J. W. Hendricks has paid
its way during the five year?, it has
been.carried on. The returns sboy a
net profit of nearly $60,000 in mow "
with better farm practices adopt
on the farms, and many boy a
girls influenced to go to college wh
graduated from club activities.
Mr. Hendricks began" his work a
county agent in 1919. in 1920, he
organized the first club with a total
of 86 members. Twelve of these
members have remained as club
workers during the five years and
thu' total enrollment for the past year
was 1-47 boys and girls. There have
been 363 different projects carried
forward by nearly as many club
members during the period. Mr.
Hendricks has an accurate record of
all the work done and the profits
secured by each member and his re
cord shows an actual profit of $59,
445.82.
Of this amount, $1,500 was made
by the members of the Jersey Calf
Club which was organized in Cat
awba County first of any section in
the South. The records show that
an average profit of about $50 per
calf was made by the members.
Poultry Club work probably returned
the greatest profit, however, and was
the most popular project throughout
the entire five years. Club jprojects
were also carried on with corn, cot
ton, wheat, sweet potatoes, pigs and
sheep.
One of the highest yields df cotton
ever made in the Soutli was recorded
by Claude Sigmon of Claremont who
made 2,777 pounds of seed cotton
0!i one acre. This ginned out two
bales weighing a total of 1047
pounds of lint and was of the Mexi
can Big Boiled variety.
In a report of his club
work torfle extension authorities at
State College, Mr. Hendricks notes
that 16 of his club members have
married and 27 have entered college.
FARMERS AR? ADVISED TO
BEGIN PREPARATIONS EARLY
Raleigh, Decmbcr 13. ? Nov; is the
right time to begin preparations l'oi
the spring rush of planting, says E.
C. Blair, extension agronomist at
State College. If plans are well laid
now, and put into action without de
lay, a better crop will result. There
are many important factors that
contribute to a good yield, such as
soil fertility, proper fertilization,
good seed, good cultivation, and
good seasons; but other things being
anywhere nearly equal, the crop is
planted on time will always outyield
one planted too late.
Fall and winter plowing is the first
step to take. More fall plowing has
been done this year in North Carol
ina than ever before. All fields not
growing cover crops should be well
