Day after day it becomes
more apparent that the un
rivaled popularity of the
Bigger and Better Chevrolet
is due to its basic elements
of superiority.
And the greatest factor of all
is the effortless driving it pro

weight of the hand—
for the worm and gear
steering mechanism is
fitted with ball bear
ings throughout • • •
even at the front axle

the gear-shift lever responds
to the lightest touch. Accel

while big non-locking four-
wheel brakes assure perfect
control under every condi
tion of highway and traffic.

come in today for a

any feature production was engaged
by Sam E. Rork, producer of “A
Texas Steer,” starring Will Rogers,
and coming next Friday and Satur

“Sam Rork engaged some real act
ors for the acting parts; I’m just

like a Congressman,” explained Rog-
; ers recently.
Louise Fazenda, star comic of Hol-
■ lywood, has the role of “Ma” Brand-

Texas. Rogers is the cattleman-con-
; gressman. Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.,
| and Ann Rork have the juvenile leads

L'lyan Tashman and Sam Hardy

George Marion Sr, is in the role
of Fishback negro politician—the
! role, incidentally, which he created
thirty or more years ago when
Charles Hoyt first staged “A Texas
Steer.”
Bud Jamison, Arthur Hoyt, Mack
Swain, Liieien LHtlefield and William
Orlamond have the other big roles.
Richaid Wallace, who directed
“M.- dden’s Flats” and “The Amer
ican beauty” recently, directed “A

Harvest Of 50,000,-
000 Acres Exported
ei-
The ouptput of approximately 50*-
000,000 acres of American farm Ian®
was represented in last year’s ex
port of cotton, wheat, wheat flomu
barley and rye, according to an esti
mate by the Bureau of Foreign an®
Domestic Commerce of the Com
merce Department, announced tod*F
by Dr. Julius Klein, Director. Of
ficial figures give the combined value
of these exports during 1927 as $1*-
226,266 045. It is estimated thafc
from 112,000,000 to 120,000,000 acre*
were required to produce the ent : *e
domestic crop of these commodities.
In announcing the estimate, pre
pared on request Dr. Klein po ; nt*t
out that the export acreage figures
would be increased materially if ctm-
sideration was given to other leading:
commodities, such as • tobacco, con*»
corn fed pork, and cotton textiles.
Nearly 9,500,000 bales of cottox.
valued at $826,000,000, found thw^
way into foreign countries during:
1927. It is estimated that it re
quired about 30,000,000 acres of land,
to produce just the raw cotton
ports.
During the calendar year 1927
port trade in wheat, wheat flow
barley and rye amounted to 8,337,009
short tons, representing the produc
tion of about 20,00(1000 acres.
The largest share of the cottox
was shipped to Germany, that cou«r-
tiy taking about 2,611,000 balat,
valued at $230 1 695,000. The Unite®
Kingdom imported 1,694 000 batex
valued at $140,167,000 while Japa*,
the third ranking country in our cedr-
ton export trade, took 1,437,000 bale^.
Frarke followed with 945,000; Italy
670,000; Russia, 475,000; Spain, 315s-
00; British India, 262,000; Belgium^
266,000; China, 243,000; and &ie
Netherlands 135,000.
Flour exports during 1927 rep
resented 13i826,000 barrels. In adt-
dit'on to the acreage and farm laboe*
represented by this figure expwfe
shipments of flour also involve the
labor of more than 3,000 men word
ing in over 450 average sized miftt
every working day of the year. Ex
port trade in flour represents over*
ten per cent of the country’s entire
flour trade. Our- largest flour mar-
ket* are the United Kingdom, the
Netherlasds, Cuba, China, Braz^,
Germany, and the Philippines.
The bulk of the exports of wheat
grain during 1927 found its way be
the principal European countries
such as the United Kingdom, Nether-
lanls, Italy, Germany France Bel
gium, Greece and the Irish Free
State. Important buyers outside c?
Europe were Japan and Biazil.
It is interesting to notq according
to Dr. Klein, that from 200 000
250,000 freight cars were necessa?^*
to haul the flour and grain produtfe*.
to seaboard fo: shipment to foreig*;
markets.
