Above: * New Greater Hudson Touring Sedan. Thia three-window five-passenger Touring
Sedan is a splendid example of die new beauty in Hudson's 1931 offerings. The 'New Essex
Super-Six Standard Sedan, below: The beauty of line and increased roominess of the New Essex
are immediately apparent in this stylish Standard Sedan.
New Hudson and Essex models, at
the lowest prices in the 22 years suc
cessful history of their makers, the
Hudson Motor Car Company, went on
exhibition today at the Motor Ser
vice Company. Both the popular cars
are greatly improved in appearance,
both being striking examples of the
1931 increased quality at reduced
prices.
The Hudson, which will be known
as The Greater Hudson Eight, is
much more stylish, the swinging
streamline effect being carried
through from the new chromium-plat
ed wind-screne to the tip of the rear
fender. Luxurious upholstery, fittings
and appointments, executed in a care
fully restrained modern motif, har
monize in style and color and are car
ried out to the smallest detail. Power
has been increased and many out
standing advancements in motor,
chassis and body construction give
great flexibility and smooth, easy
riding at every speed.
There will be fourteen body types
in the Greater Hudson Eight on two
chassis lengths, 119 inches and 126
inches. These models are: the Coach;
the Coupe (a passenger and rumble
seat); the Standard Sedan, with three
windows; the Town Sedan, four-door,
two window, close coupled; Sport
Roadster, with boat type rear deck,
and 5 passenger Phaeton?on the 119
inch chassis. The Touring Sedan, sev
en passenger Family Sedan, Club Se
dan, Brougham, with landau rear
quarters, and seven passenger Phae
ton come on the 126 inch chassis.
Essex will be known as the New
Essex Super-Six. Here, again, the
streamline effect imparts a dashing,
smooth look to the car that will car
ry the popular hexigon emblem in
1931. Essex is larger, roomier, and
many refinements in chassis, motor,
body and interior fittings have great
ly improved the car in looks and per
formance. The increased power flows
smoothly from the Super-Six motor,
a type which has carried Hudson pro
ducts high in the performance field.
The radiator is chromium plated
bronze, providing a distinctive front,
and this distinction is apparent in
every line of the new models.
Essex comes in six body types,
mounted on the long 113-inch chassis.
The models are: Coach; Standard Se
dan, with two windows; Town Sedan;
two passenger Coupe and Coupe with
rumble seat for four passengers, and
Sport Roadster.
Mr. B. 0. Taylor, Sales Manager of
the Motor Service Company, believes
that the manufacturers have gone op
to and beyond the 1981 standard of
values at lower prices. "We know that
the factory was concentrating its en
tire huge resources in building two
cars to meet the changed conditions.
This meant that they were to provide
the greatest quality at the lowest
prices, and give the public a car thai
would give the maximum value for
the money on every count, and, at the
same time, a car that went beyond
simply providing economical transpor
tation, but gave the owners a product
of which they could be proud.
"I believe," said Mr. Taylor, "that
we can look forward to greatly in
creased business in 1931, and that
means prosperity for everybody.
These cars are certainly the greatest
buys I have ever seen. Our salesmen
are enthusiastic, business conditions
are improving?and the public is
ready to invest in cars of this type. I
am- quite optimistic for this year, es
pecially after having tested the cars.
Frankly, I dont know hod Husdon
can make them at the price."
TWO NEGROES GO

A GOOD BEGINNING
INSURES QUALITY
TOBACCO
No other farm crop responds so
well to a proper beginning as does
tobacco.
Mistakes made in the preparation
and management of the seed bed have
been known to cau3e reductions in
yield and quality amounting to the
difference between success and failure
The tobacco plant is subject to dis
eases which if given favorable soil
and weather conditions will cause ir
reparable losses.
"Therefore," says Dr. S. G. Lehman,
man, plant pathologist of the North
Carolina Experiment Station, "pre
ventative measures are imperative.
These are easier, cheaper and more
effective than remedial measures. Be
ginning with the seed, the grower
should select the variety suited to
his soils. This seed should be re-clean
ed to blow out all chaff and immature
or diseased seeds. Sometimes these
carry disease germs that cannot be
eliminated by the usual disinfection
treatments."
Dr. Lehman finds that mercuric
chloride is more effective' than the
formaldehyde solution for prevention
of leaf spot diseases such as wildfire
or angular leaf spot. After the seed
have been treated, washed thoroughly
and dried, they may be stored for any
length of time.
Location of the seed bed is another
important factor to consider, he says.
Do not place the bed near an old one
or where disease germs from tobacco
shedsr houses or fields may be washed
onto it by drainage. Get fresh ground
or a clear cultivated soil. The clean
soil means less weeding.
Sterilize the seed bed by burning,
steaming or by chemical treatment.
Burning is all right if there is plen-1
ty of wood, and steaming is also ef-J
fective. No tobacco refuse should be
put ou the bed even where the old to
bacco trash has. been thrown on the
manure frames unless they hare been
sterilized.

TERRACE THE FARM ;
LANDS TO PREVENT !
EROSION
t
The construction of a good terrace
system on all rolling or steep lands 1
to be cultivated this year is one good 1
farming, practice that may be adopted i
without the aid of supply merchants, 1
bankers or other sources of credit i
supply. i
"We are finding that terraces are ^
necessary on all rolling lands whether
planted to cash crc-ps or to food and
feed crops," says A. T. Holman, agri
cultural engineer at State College. '
"Contrary to popular belief, the J
greatest amount of erosion does not J
occur in winter but during the sum
mer when rains wash away the light- !
ly cultivated top soil and carry with
it thousands of dollars worth of pur
chased fertility."
A person can build a good terrace <
by learning five definite facts, says i
Hr. Holman. These are: location of
he first terrace; selection of good
mtlets; proper spacing of the ter
?ac line and the proper size for the
;erraces to be built.
Considering these five points, Mr.
dolman says the first terrace should
je located near the top of the hill usu
illy about 2!? to 4 feet below the
lighest point. Good terrace outlets
ire timbcrlands, streams, and natur
il draws. If none of these outlets are
lvailable, satisfactory ones can be
nade at fence or property lines.
Spacing of the terrace depends on
;he slope. The terraces are closer to
gether on steep lands. A variable
jrade for the line is recommended.
Satisfactory results may be obtained
jy giving the outlet end a grade of
me-half to one percent or six inches
in the 100 feet. After the terrace
ines are located and properly staked,
;he building problem begins. The ter
race should be built high and wide
mough to withstand the heaviest
?ains.
