Thousands of farmers from Arkansas to Virginia, on both
clay and sandy lands are fertilizing their cotton with high
POTASH fertilizers at planting.
, . A cotton fertilizer for clay Unde eshould contain at least
6 per cent, potash and for sandy lands 8 per cent. Use 200 to
300 pounds of muriate, or its equivalent in kainit in each ton
of cotton fertilizer.
Top dressing cotton with potash will also pay—50 jwunds
of muriate per acre on clay lands and 100 pound 8 on aandy

Meetings in each town la : t for
one day, beginning with a luncheon
and terminating with gh afternoon
business session in a leading theatre
or auditorium. A -feature**of the
luncheon is the insfbilation of offi

salesmen’* organization composed of
those retail salesmen who disposed of
one hundred or more cars during the
calendar ‘year. Each zone has its
local, organization, and, a national or
ganization also is maintained.
The afternoon busine s sessions, as
worked out by W. G. Lewellen, sales
promotion "manager, consist of stage
scenes and playlets with factory men
in the role of actors. Each group of
officials is accompanied by a carload
of special scenes, drops, stage set

In inaugurating this series of tneet-
ings the Chevrolet Motor Company is
continuing the aggressive policies
adopted last fall when, desja^e general
conditions, the 1931 Chevrolet sixes
were announced nearly two months ip
advance of the normal schedule.
National dealer meetings alsD_jf;ere
held before the customary time in an
effort to make business better.
The revision in the company’s nor
mal program had an almost immediate
effect. Production in November and
December set new high records for
those . months, and Chevrolet passen
ger car registrations in December
lead .all other makes, a position of
leadership which the company seems
destined to maintain during January
in view’ of the trend of early reports.
