The fine work done by these
emergency assistants is most grat
ifying to their supervisors and to
the people of the counties.
The home agents are concen
trating their time on presenting to
every family in her county, both
landlord and tenant, the minimum
planting plan, worked out by the
extension service for'a* family of
five. This plan contains specific
Instructions as to acreage, amounts
of seed per acre, amount of poul
try, fruit, milk and amount of all
other food and feed supplies nec
essary to be raised to properly
nourish a family of five.
By following this plan, every
planter is urged to use approxi
mately 18 acres of land taken out
of cotton to provide the necessary
food and feed for a year. The plan
Includes the right amount of fresh
as well as canned fruits and veg
etables needed.
In carrying on this work the
agents have visited 847 homes,
written 120 news articles, held 265
meetings v/ith adults attending
with 2,412 and 365 meetings of 4-H
Clubs v/ith attendance of 4,805.

days of the month the company
completed the assembly of 33,545
new units which have already, been,
shipped to dealers. This is within
12,000 units of production for the
full month of February last year,
Mr. Coyle stated.
Plants are now headed toward
capacity, with dealers making de
livery of new 1934 models to con
sumers, and the rate at which
orders are being received indicates
capacity operations for some
months to come, the , Chevrolet
head declared.
Detroit shows the largest gain on
the company’s employment map.
The payroll here includes the cen
tral office staff, and the workers
at the Chevrolet plant centering
nt St. Aubin, Euclid and Holbrook
Avenues, where the new “knee-
action” wheel sets are being built.
Detroit payrolls as of February 10
stood at 16,809 people as compared
with a previous all-time high here
of 12,720 in June, 1929, and less
than 8,000 one year ago. Much of
the increase is due to the large
number of men engaged solely in
the building of the “knee-action”
devices, w’hich are coming off their
own assembly line with increasing
frequency from day to day.
“This one invention,” said Mr
Coyle, has added several thousand
men to our payrolls—men who
could not have been given work
had v/e not incorporated the new
device in our 1934 cars.”
At Flint, where four plants are
maintained, payrolls were 15,725
men as compared with 11,100 a
year ago. Bay City, where small
parts are manufactured, 1,782 were
on the payrolls as against 1,081 last
year.
At Saginaw, where Chevrolet
operates the largest grey iron
foundry in the world, two daily
shifts consisting of 4,660 men are
pouring castings for the new mod
els, as against 3.443 in February of j
1933.

THEY LEARN GEOGRAPHY, TOO
Geography isn’t scheduled as one
of the studies in 4-H club work,
but enrolled boys and girls learn
a lot about it. First lessons come
"in the trips they win to State
camps, fairs and other events.
Many members win trips to places
outside their States. In such ad
ventures they get to see different
parts of the country and big cities;
they visit museums, trading cen
ters and markets.
Large cities and the way people
live and do business in them are
a never ending wonder to these
youngsters. “1 was spellbound
while riding in a taxicab to my
hotel,” writes. Garnet Green, an
Idaho girl who made the trip to
Chicago last year to attend the
National Club Congress. “I never
imagined so many people, so many
vehicles • of one kind or another
and so many tall buildings could be
crowded together in so small a
space,” she continues. “The ele- Msolated
vated street cars, the elevators in
the building that shot you sky

strange sights at every turn made

This same girl had read of
shaiks and strange animals with
keen interest, but to see them alive
or stuffed in the great museums
were thrills she will never forget.

Now there are four key words in
this charming welcome. The first
is “ComeT”," a beautiful, - gracious
word our Master uttered rather
frequently. Jesus is the world’s
greatest Friend. Here is the note
of a wooer, a lover who under

security, and we get it when we

find? We discover the rest that
comes through intimate association
with the world’s supreme charac
