Com Bud Worm, Old Pest, Is New Problem CLEMSON COLLEGB. April 16 — An old problem, control of the corn budworm, presents itself anew to corn growers this spring, says Pro fessor Franklin Sherman, entomolo gist. At planting, four things may be done to cope with this damage, he says. By planting on h'gh ground part of the battle is won, for budworms are worst on low lands. Corn planted on different land from year to year may avoid some injury. If one will plant plenty of seed he will be assured a good stand even if the budworm gets part. Experiments made by the South Carolina Experiment Station indi cate that plant 1 ng in the Coastal Plains after May 5, in the lower Piedmont after May 12, and in the upper Piedmont after May 19 will give a fair degree of immunity from the budworm. Then, ample fertilization and cul tivation will enable com to with stand or recover from moderate in jury. Prof. Sherman explains that the adult budworm is a greenish-yellow beetle about a quarter of an inch long with about 12 black spots. It feeds on flowers and tender foliage of cucumbers, squash and many oth er plants. It lays its eggs at the base of ccm or coarse grass and the larvae hatching, bore into the stalk.

Puckett Town. txx Making Parts For Model T Fords Demands Much Of Production Capacity Of Ford Plants In Detroit DETROIT, April 17.—The manu facture of replacement parts for the millions of Model “T” Ford cars still in daily use continues to demand nearly one third the production cap acity of Ford plants here. Fdrd officials estimate, from re ports of dealers all over the country, that there are sfll approximately eight millions of the Model “T" cars in constant use in the United States. Some of these cars are many years old. Every now and then there are re ports of Ford cars of the old brass- bound radiator types of twelve or fourteen years ago, still running af ter more than a hundred thousand miles of service The newest of the Model “T” Fords is now nearly a year old, for the production of assembled Model “T” cars was suspended in May 1927 to make way for the new Model “A". This suspens’on of assembled Mod el “T” cars did not affect the pro duction schedule of Model “T" re placement parts, however. Through out the past year the manufacture of Model “T” parts continued to oc cupy about one third the pr - action capacity of the Ford plants A few days ago newspar - cor respondents here asked Henrv Ford how long he expected to -vitinue making parts for Model ‘ T*’ cars. “Until the last Model ‘T’ i; off the roads,” Mr. Fdrd replied r rr 'nptly. Then he added. “That may be ten years, but we do not intend t"* allow any Ford car ever to become obsolete as long as it can be made u'tlul with reasonable replacements." Ford eng neers, from tests and ob servations made over a long period of years, have estimated that the av erage useful life of a Model “T” Ford car is about seven years. as its people demand broad-gauge policies which encourage investment and developmenti, with resulting steady employment and good wages.

Death Of Mrs. Shrine A pall of sadness over shadower- ed dur community early Sunday morning, AprT 8th, 1928, when it was learned that Mrs. Shrine had passed away at her home near Ab beville. She had been in her usual health until a short time ago, when she found that she was in failing health. Her physician wa s called and his ad vice was carefully followed. She began to improve and was bright and cheerful, and was at the supper table on Saturday n'ght when she had a stroke of apoplexy. All was done by her faithful nhy- siciai) loved ones and friends, but at 4:30 o’clock oti Sunday morning the spirit made its flight to God who gave it. Mrs. Shrine was a Christian wife and mother, good neighbcA* and true trend; she was one who loved her neighbor as herself, being loyal to everybody. It had been the good pleasure of the writer tt* be well acquainted with her for a number of years, and the love and sweet spirit of this good woman was beautiful. Beft re her marriage, 39 years ago to Mr. Charlie Shnne, she was Miss Anna Elizabeth Ethridge of Abbe ville County, and she spent the great er part of h£r married life in and around Abbeville. Eaily in life she gave her heart to God and united with Rocky River Baptist Church and was a member of the same church until death. She would have been 62 years of age August 14th, next. She told her loved ones a few days before her death if God should call for her, that she was ready to go. Loved ones, don’t weep as those with out hope; look to Jesus and try to be submissive to His will, for He deeth all things well. She leaves to mourn her death her deviated companion, two dauglfters, Mrs. Louise Brown of McCormick Mrs. J. T. Whitten, Jr., of Abbeville and one son, Mr. George Shrine, of Plum Branch; six grand children; four brothers, Messrs. Jce, Lige, Bow'e and Sanford Ethridge; nieces, nephews and a host of other loved ones and friends. On Monday afternoon at 3 o’clock her body was laid to rest at Long Cane in the presence of a large concourse of sorrowing ones who came to pay the last sad tribute to one they loved. A short funeral service was held over the open grave. The flowers were beautiful and silent expressions of love and sympathy. The family have our sympathy, and our prayer for each one is that God will draw near unto each one and help him to bear the great loss. There’s a vacancy none can fill, A vo'ce once heard but now is still, A face once shined within the home. Is shinning now around the throne, Our affection now is in the sky. Where hope and pleasure never die No death, no sorrow no sad good-bye. Up there we will meet Mrs. Shrine by and by. One who loved her, Mrs. Ollie White. X Death Of Mrs. Carrie N. Nixon On Tuesday evening, April 10 1928, the death angel came and claimed the sweet spirit of dur dear mother, grandmother and aunt, Mrs. Carrie Newsom Nixon, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Ollie Bunch, of North Augusta, where she was vis iting Mrs Nixon would have been ninety years old in a few days; a long 1 fe well spent.

Chevrolet Factory Running In Atlanta The First Chevrolet Ever Built In Dixie Turned Out Of At- lanta Factory Last Friday. The first Chevrolet car ever built -'n Dixie relied off the assembly line Friday, April 13th. when the mam moth new Chevrolet factory ; n At lanta—the largest automotive insti tution in all the South—swung into operation to supply the Southeastern states. In the presence cf a group of notables, including city, state and civic officials, the first Southern- built Chevrolet was welcomed to the land of cotton and sunshine by Gov ernor Hardeman of Georgia and Mayor Ragsdale of Atlanta. Repre senting the Chevrolet Motor Com pany were W/. S. Roberts, plant manager, and L. S. Costley, regional sales manager. Flashing from the assembly line, its lustrous finish glistening in the sunl'ght Number One caught every eye as it was quickly driven out to make room for Number Two which was coming up immed'ately in the rear. Over to the driveway shed it went as an admiring crowd follc%ed to make further inspection of the car that is the herald of a long 1'ne to follow i n succeeding weeks. City officials present at the fonn- aVty commented on the significance of the event, its importance, not only to Atlanta but to the entire South east, and joined in the opinion that the huge Atlanta plant would be a leading factor in increased industrial activity in the South. Constructed at a cost of more than $2,250,000, the plant covers 32 acres and has 410,000 square feet of floor space. It has an assembly capaf'ty of 350 cars a day, or more than 100,- 000 a year. Following the Chevrolet policy of recniiting workmen from the cbmmun ty in which its plants are located, it will be almost exclus ively a Southern institution, its 1,300< employees being residents of Atlanta or nearby cities. The payroll will approach $£\ 000,000 annually. Production will be on a basis of 2,000 cars for the last half of April,, >with the May schedule calling for six thousand cars. Strategically located for shipping purposes, the plant is equipped to make rapid deliveries to the six Southeastern states it will serve, in cluding Georgia, Alabama, Florida^ South Carolina and parts of Nctth Carolina and Tennessee. The factory is served by the South ern Railroad Company, which has six lines of tracks adjoiivng the plant for storage of cars. Accomo dations have been made to handle as many as 300 cars at one time. Two other tracks lead directly into the Chevrolet plant proper and one track into the Fisher Body unit. , In all plant embraces six units: The maiii building which includes Chevrolet and Fisher Body assembly, a three story office building, drive way shed, loading dock, parts ware house and pump house. The first spade of dirt preparatory td the start of construction work, was turned the day following Thanksgiving and the plant opened 19 weeks later. The Seaboard South ern Construct - 'on Company, general contractors, worked night and day shifts to complete the plant in the comparatively brief spajee of time. Erection of the factory was super intended by Harry Wy. Celander, con struction engineer for the Chevrolet Motor Company, who directed the work continuously since Thanksgiv ing Day. In addition to Mr. Roberts, plant manager, the following officials are now in charge: W. J. Sullivan, Super intendent; E. J. Gleason, manager of the Fisher Body division and H. J. Schmidt, resident comptroller. The Atlanta plant provides Chev rolet with eight domest : c assembly plants throughout the country, an export plant at Bloomfield N. J., and manufacturing Plants at Detroit, Bay City, Saginaw, Flint and Toledo. I n addition to Atlanta, assembly plants are located in Flint, Mich., Tarrytown, N. Y., Norwood, O., Oak land, Cal., Buffalo. N. Y., Janesville, Wis., and St. Louis, Mo. The public will be invited to in spect the plant early in May whett an “Open House” week will be ar ranged. xxx Card of Thanks We, the children of Mrs. Malissa J.
