JORDAN JORDAN CHEVROLET COMPANY While motorists seldom are stalled by the roadside in Summertime because of mechanical trouble, so nearly perfect are automobile engines built today, yet this is notably not the case in winter. The reason lies obviously not with the cai but with the care, or lack of care, with which the car is prepared for cold weather use. Here are ten hints which if followed will insure freedom from such annoyances as boiling radiator, hard starting, etc. and the sometimes large repair bills, that follow neglect of a car in winter: Drain all oil from the crank case, transmission ,and rear end and replace with a good grade of light lubricant to in sure easy starting on cold mornings— Clean the gasoline tank, gas lines and carburetor so that any water lodged there cannot freeze and so prevent free flow of gas— ( heck generator for proper Winter charging rate, and have the battery inspected and if necessary given a good charge by a reliable service station— Adjust carburetor to give slightly richer mixture— Repair all radiator hose connections or leaks in the cool ing system to prevent waste of anti-freez solution— At first cold weather dilute water in radiator with a re liable anti-freeze solution preferably one recommended by an authorized dealer of the car you drive— Clean and adjust distributor points and spark plugs, re place plugs if they have been used more than 10,000 miles— Focus lights for satisfactory driving on long Winter evenings— See that compression is up to normal; low compression is a frequent cause of hard starting— Have brakes equalized to prevent undue skidding on slip pery Winter roads. haithful adherence to these rules will spare the motorist much Ineonveniepce, exasperation and expense. If he has neither the tithe por the inclination to make the adjustments himself, he may have made at JORDAN CHEVROLET COMPANY'S OARAGE. JORDAN CHEVROLET COMPANY Phone 265 .

Miss Bentha Beam, a student of ! Asheville Normal, and a member of ! this years graduating class, was > recently chosen as a candidate for ' the debating team. She will com pete with a number of other stu dents fer the inter-collegiate <Se i bate, which will be held next spring. Miss Beam is a former student of j Boiling Springs High school, and is | the daughter cf Mrs. Bertha Beam ' of Lawndale. i If Ixit one idea new practiced by the Farmers Federation oi' Ashe ville and surrounding territories of which James O. K. McGurie, Jr., is the head, should be adopted by'the farmers ever the state generally, these farmers receive $3,795,081 more each year for their'cream, without1 increasing their production one pound. And (his is that of selling cream direct to the creameries, in: lead cf attempting to make it up into butter on the farm—and the difference between the price of • he cream marketed as cream and marketed as marm-made butter i-, mere than *2.500 0G0 annually, ac cording to the state department oi agriculture. So it is that the-recently an nounced plan of . the Farmers Federation to increase interest in dairying in Western North Caro line through the establishment of additional creameries, as well as the establishment of small can rung plants, local poultry dressing stations, egg candling and and grad ing stations, is regarded by the state department cf agriculture, and especially by the-marketing division, "as the most extraordi nary new thing in agriculture for the state this year,” accordir ■: to George Ross, chief oL the market ing division. Mr. McClure has just i announced that $100,000, of a fund j of $250,000 has been raized in .'Jew j York to promote this work in West ern North Carolina. Larger Return "These activities being under- ! taken by Mr. McClure and his or- ! ganizaticn will make it possible | fer the farmer to sell his produce in a more attractive way and thus j give hirp a larger return than if ] the produce from the farm were scld as is now, too often the case | without any regard cf the sea- J son’s demand or the consumer’s wish,” Mr. Ross said. “It will demonstrate the imoor tance and necessity for us to give more money and mere attention to the proper marketing of agri- • dtilturaP products. For instance, 1 the butter-making project alone of the Farm Federation, would ; justify the expenditure of more j than $100,000 alone. Each per son in North Carolina consumes on an average of 17 pounds of but-, ter each year, only one pound cf i which is made in North Carolina J creameries, six pounds of whicii is manufactured outside the state, unci ten pounds made on the farm by the farmers themselves. However, should these farmers market their crc-am direct to creameries, instead SECOND AND FINAL ROUND FOR THE COLLECTION OF COUNTY TAXES I will be at the following places at the time and dates specified for the collection of 1927 County Taxes.

Canning* Project "The canning project' also de serves every /icnsideratipm be cause it has the possibilities ot keeping in the home kitchen, or in a small community ltit.chcn or cannery, the preserving of much fruit and many vegetable, that otherwise would he wasted. The small woodworking plants would constitute a further development cl community industry and would provide employment during the winter months and cn day when it is 'not' possible ’ to work in the fields. It should also hr in? about a scandard eftticn *cf such crude' plants as may already exist," Mr. F.cxs said. Sotr.o surprise he been express- i cc! that Mr. McCUnc should nave gene to New York to raise money to help North Carolina agismol ture. But there is nothing ur.us- , ual in this, according to Mr. Ross, who points out that other people go to New York to raise money ; for everythin',: for home missions to capital for manufacturing plants. Mr. McClure, who was a Pres byterian minister before he came , tc. North Carolina some 15 years : ago to regain his health, and who as a result became intensely, in-, tirestc d in the development of Western North Carolina, espec ially its agriculture, is perhaps mere familiar with the needs of that section then any other one man. as a result of the years of study given to its problems. It is hoped here that his idtas for the betterment of agriculture will spread to all the other sections of the 1 state. Poultry Industry Growing an South North Carolina's Shipments Last Year E-tceedetl Three Mi tten rounds Raleigh.—The state department of agriculture, which since 1923 has been actively engaged in helping farmers market live poultry in.car lots, has secured figures showing that during the past year TCiS car loads of live poultry have passed through Salisbury. This total rep resents shipments ether than those originating in North Carolina, it was stated, and. yet this state has kept pace in the shipment of live birds. The 763 carloads referred to contained mere than 15,000.000 pounds of poultry in shipments or iginating at points along the South ern Railway in the territory em braced in the far Southern states and in parts of North Carolina, yet this year's shipments in earlots from j Ncrth Caroline, totaled mcie than | 3.000. 0000. Shipments passing through Salis bury during the past year were worth in the neighborhood of $3, 500.000. These, from cotton terri tory. illustrate very forcibly that farmers are net entirely dependent upon that staple for their support, it was pointed out The department cf agriculture I next season will redouble its efforts to encourage the marketing of live poultry, it was announced, market ing experts predicting this years 2, 000,000 pound mark will be passed.
