Hundreds upon hundreds of thousands, yes, millions eager to see the new Plym outh, built by Chrysler to compete in the lowest-priced field, throng Chrysler sales rooms everywhere. They compare it with the three or four other cars catering to the same great market. They see contrast in size, style , performance and safety so sharply in favor of Plymouth that curiosity bursts into enthusiasm, en thusiasm is transformed into sales. In fine, the millions seeking a low first cost now discover in the new Plymouth the one car in the lowest-priced field which is and does everything that they have long hoped a low-priced car would be and do. You, too, owe it to yourself to see it, ride in it, drive it. All doubt as to the highest doUar-for-dollar value in the lowest-priced field ends right there. wm Roadster Coupe . . .

We need them for, the purpose of protecting the land from erosion. We need them for the most economical system of farm management. Every far mer should endeavor to have all of his land in some sort of crop during the winter. By doing this he will accomplish at least two thngs; protect the soil from erosion, which we have men tioned, and will also keep the land producing. It is economy to produce in the winter what we can. We have so much capital tied up in land, we have to pay so much ta on the land, whether it is growing something, making a return to us, or not. We do not believe in growing too much of any one crop, but we do believe in producing all that we can on a given area of land. If we can harvest 50 bushels of corn in stead of 25 bushels from an acre; if we can get 15001b of tobacco from , an acre instead of 800 lb; if .we can increase the quantity of anything pro duced on a single acre, we are securing a more economical production.The capital invested in land is the same, the taxes remain the' same, the labor to work the crop is not materially The Kraft Cheese company ts opening a branch plant in Ashe Coun- jty thus helping to stimulate greater interest in dairy cattle in that section.
