Cocos, or Queen Palm, Is
Graceful and Pleasing
One of the most graceful and pleas
ing types of the feather palms for
street parkway use, says the Los An
geles Times, Is the Cocos or Queen
palm (Cocos plumosa). There are sev-
ei^l different varieties of this type
such as the flexuosa and Roman offl-
ana species. They are all similar in
appearance. However, the flexuosa
type seems to be hardier and has a
more generous bunching of fronds. The
Royal palm (Oredoxia regia), which
grows In Florida, Is not hardy enough
for southern California. >
The ornamental Cocos palm used In
southern California Is a native of Bra
zil. It usually attains a height of
twenty-five to thirty feet with occa
sional specimens forty to fifty feet In
height It sheds its fronds naturally
In time and therefore has a smooth
trunk. However, it Is usually neces
sary to pull the old leaves off. The
trunk diameter rarely exceeds eight
een Inches. For this reason it Is par
ticularly valuable for narrow street
parkways. While they will grow in a
three-foot parkway or In a three foot
opening In a solid sidewalk. It Is bet
ter to grow them In a wider parkway.
From twenty-five to thirty feet Is usu
ally the most satisfactory spacing for
parkways.
The Cocoa palm does not thrive In
very cold weather and young palms
are often checked In growth when In
cold exposed locations. Th«»y also re
quire good soil with adequate drain
age.
Naming Passenger Ships
Requires Good Judgment
In naming passenger ships consider
ation must be paid to ease of pronuu-
elation. An example exists in the case
of the Cunarder Tyrrheula, says a
writer io the Weekly Telegraph.
As soon as she was so named half
• dozen different ways of pronouncing
her title came into existence. She was
called ’Tie rhlnnla” by her officers;
"Tle-rheola" ashore; and by the crew,
after unhappy experiences with the
German shopkeepers when she was on
the Hamburg New York run. she was
wittily nicknamed “Try-and-ruin-yoa.’’
The result of these complications
was that the Cttnard authorities made
a complete change from their usual
practice of naming their vesaels after
countries, etc. (I^isltunla for Portugal.
Mauretania for North Africa, and so
on), and renamed the Tyrrhenla l.an
•astria. thus Incidentally paying I .a n
rashire a compliment.
PROVIDE FOR MORE MEAT
IN LIVE-AT-HOME PLAN
'■ 1 '
Clemson College.—With a better
corn crop in South Carolina generally
and a shorter pig ertfp than a year
ago, we should have plenty of corn to
feed out our hogs and furnish meat
for the farm home, says L. V. Starkey,
chief animal husbandman, who thinks
it i 8 a good time for South Carolina
farmers to make strides in the live-
at-home program.
“During the past year considerable
progress has been made in the home
curing of meats, and farmers can
make further progres s in the live-at-
home program,” Mr. Starkey states.
“This dees not conflict with the plan
of the government to reduce the hog
population by marketing pig s and
pigffy sows. Farmers on the average
do not buy much meat and the home-
curing of meat will mean that more
meat will be consumed on the farms.
“It ig neither desirable nor econo
mical to make hogs too heavy for
home use. Heavy carcasse s are more
difficult to cure and more expensive
to produce than those of medium
weight. The best carcasses are from
hog s which weigh around 200 pounds
on foot. Good carcasses may be pro
duced from any breed of hogs.
“When selecting hogs for home use
we should bear,in mind the smooth
deep sides and plump hams. Also,
since sows and stags do not sell for
as much as the 200-pcund hogs, the
difference in price may offer an oppor
tunity to save some money by using
the cheaper hogs at home. There is
also the greater chance of losing the
heavy hog s in cure if the weather is
not favorable and cooling equipment
is not available.”

America can’t be fooled when it comes to spotting the besf
“buy” in any field. America knows too much about motor
cars for that. So when one certain car wins almost as ma/iy buyers
as the next two put together, you know the answer; IT MUST BE
BETTER. And that’s what the new Chevrolet Six most certainly is.
Chevrolet is better looking—Chevrolet has better bodies—built not
just of steel alone, but of steel reinforced by a sturdy hardwood frame.
Chevrolet has a better engine—six cylinders for economy, cushion bal-
*
ancing for killing vibration! And Chevrolet gives better value—a long
line-up of modem features which no other low-priced car can match.
Now is the time to start thinking about a new car for winter! And
when you .do so, think of the way Chevrolet is leading in sales. Could
you ask for any stronger recommendation for a low-priced car than that?
