THURSDAY, JUN8 21ST, 1*54. NUMBER m< Tri-County Farmers Borrow Much Money Total of f130,850 Secured Through Bara well Production Credit Association. C'olumhia, - June 19.—Fanners of Barnwell, Bamberg and Allendale Counties borrowed a total of 5130,850 from January 1 to June T through the Barnwell Production Credit Associa tion, according to figures released by the Farm Credit Administration of Columbia. The loans were made to a Seen and Heard Here Dlxriin^tliePiisfWefcK Tells of Development of Blue Flame Engine total of 082 farmers, the average loan being 342.54. In the four States served by the Farm Credit Administration of Col umbia, North Carolina, South Caro lina, Georgia and Florida, over |7,- 000,000 wa s borrowed by 28,120 farm ers. An additional 8450,000 is being advanced to farmers who are obtain ing their loans in a series of install ments during the season. The Spring seasonal demand for ciop production has now passed its peak and a larger proportion of the farmers borrowing from the associa tion are obtaining their loans for general agricultural purposes, such ay for purchasing work-stock, equipment and machinery, and for financing re pairs and improvements. This trend towardg general purpose loan s is re flected in the gradual increase in the size of the average loan./ Fat mers borrowing from these new ly organized, short-term credit in stitutions partially owned and operat ed by the borrowers, are effecting a considerable saving on interest charges, which are now at the rate of 5 per cent a year, charged on an an nual basi 8 and collected at maturity of the loan. Thus, a farmer borrow ing 5500 for a year would pay 525 in terest on a loan for 12 months, while a farmer bo rowing the same amount for six menths pays only 812.50 inter est, or if the loan was for three months, *6.26.

Detroit, Mich., June 19.—Reduc- j . . . „ tTons oT |10 to 515 In Hat prices o7 1934 Ford V-8 passenger cars and 810 to 820 in list prices of Ford V-8 com mercial cars and trucks were announc ed last week by the Ford Motor Co. effective Friday, June 15th. Ford prices had remained unchang ed since the introduction of the 1934 Ford V-8 last December, the Ford Motor Co. not having participated in the recent automobile price increase. The reductions announced are, there fore, a decrease in the original prices. The price reduction on the standard and de luxe Tudor Sedans, most 'popu. lar individual models in point of sales is 815. Prices of other standard and de luxe body types were reduced $10, except prices of the Roadster, Phaeton and Cabriolet, de luxe types, which remain unchanged. Both stand ard and de luxe passenger .cars have the same V-8 engine and 112 inch wheelbase chassis. Body types for both are identical except for the de luxe equipment. “G?idup Payment” Plan Spread#.« “American doctors and b&tient 8 both want a new deal,” says the cur rent issue of the Review of Reviews, which reports the result at a survey of a nationwide movement to reduce costs of medical care and at the same time give the family doctor an ade quate, assured income. To meet the problem, 80 American cities already have moved to estab lish “group payment” plans for year- around medical care for the communi ty. Under these plans, every mem ber of the community, or neighborhood, pays a small annual fee—of frdm 85 to $1<K per person per year—and adequate medical care in of/illness. The doctors also benefit having assured incomes. The 140,000 doctors in the United States, according to the 'underpaid. For every one earning 519,000 n yeer, two earn lens than $2,500.

He related the story at Detroit recently in an address outlining 1934 automotive develop ments, as an illustration of how en gineers meet demands for the seem ingly impossible. “In 1931,” said Mr. Taub, a mem ber of the Chevrolet experimental en gineering staff, “William S. Knudsen, then president of Chevrolet, request ed the engineering department to de sign an engine of only 150 cubic in ches that would develop 85 horse power, for installation in a 17-foot racing boat. The order was a tall Chevrolet engine was cf 194 cubic in ches displacement and delivered 55 horsepower. To obtain 64 per cent, more horsepower with 22 per cent, less displacement looked an ®l- mest impossible ^job. “However, Mr. Knudsen insisted that nothing but an engine designed by his' own engineering staff wou’d suit him; but he added, one of his characteristic remarks: ‘You fellows go ahead, and remember that you are dealing with a man accustomed to dis appointments. Do what you can.’ “We got busy seeking to find out how we could get what Mr. Knud sen wanted, and out of our efforts came a new principle of cylindar-head design and fuel combustion control. Instead of the 85 horsepower request ed, 88 horsepower was obtained. Based on its cubic inch displacement, that little motor was the equal of any non-supercharged aviation engine in use today. “These reeults were so gratifying that we immediately planned to adopt the new principles for Chevrolet en gines. Having discovered a principle) that would give 88 horsepower with only 150 cubic inches displacement, it was comparatively easy for us to ob tain 80 horsepower with 200 cubic in ches; that is, with only 12 cubic in ches additional displacement, we gain ed 25 more horsepower. This engine— which we call the ‘blue flame” engine because of the characteristics of its fuel combustion—was introduced with our 1934 models. Yet, in the fall of 1932, when dealer s came to the prov ing ground to have their first look st the 1933 cars, s Chevrolet with this blue flame engine was chasing around the track at 80 miles an hour. We had the job ready then, but nobody outside our own organization knew it We were ready a year ahead of time— and that is an illustration of what we call ‘long distance’ engineering. “In our present engine, we have at tained 23 per cent more pswer and 12 per cent, better economy at touring speeds, through new principles in cylinderhead design possible only with overhead valves. This power plant, however, is by no means the limit of a motor of its type—because this con struction ha t given us a new concent Dr. Leslie 8.
