In other quarters the proposition of putting a million new cars into the automobile mar ket in 1935 was considered fantas tic. During the last weeks of 1934, the Ford industries were got in order for the nev production schedule. All during December raw materials were coming in in trainloads. Promptly, on the morning of January 2, the River Rouge plant opened up after the holiday shut-down. The first motor off the line that morning bore the number 1,336,770. Production rose steadily and the whole automotive Industry and the public generally watched with Interest the monthly announcements to see if “Henry .would make it”. $ A January production figure of 100,793 showed something unusual was afoot. February’s figure of 126,646 and that for March, 158,887, showed the pace at which produc tion and sales were moving. April, with one-third of the year gone, showed 546,429 built and distrib uted. Seasonal demand, which us ually sags sharply in summer, this year held on unusually strong, with production keeping pace. This afternoon, as Henry Ford and Edsel B. Ford, president of the Ford Motor Company looked on, a black Fordor Sedan came down the assembly line. It looked like all other cars of its model. But un der its hood was engine No. 2,336,- 770. It was the 1,000,000th Ford unit made in the United States since January 1, this year. It left the line at 2:44 o’clock and was taken at once for shipment to the company’s showrooms in New York Smiles and handshakes showed how pleased were the Fords, father and son, and several of the Ford organization executives who also watched the making of the mil lionth car. “And how about next year?” a newspaper man asked Henry Ford. “Well,” he said, smiling broadly, “You can Just say we’ll make all we can sell and sell all we can make”. * Canadian production in the first 10 months of the year added 68,- 000 more to the million. World production of Ford units from June, 1903, when the com pany started business, to Scptem ber 1, this year, totaled 23,308,684. Vicks Cough Drop l —Adv. year 19 per look and 12 per cent above the average production for the years 1928-32. Food and feed crops are expected to be about 22 per cent more than produced in 1934 and 24 per cent greater than the five-year average. Fall weather has been generally favorable and practically all crops have been gathered in good con dition. The com crop, estimated at 24,- 578,000 bushels, is 18 per cent above last year’s production and 22 per cent above the average for the years 1928-32. The estimate of 87,400,000 pounds of tobacco places this year’s crop among the largest ever grown in the State, the crops of 1930 and 1933 only exceeding the present estimate for 1935. The sweet potato estimate of 4,- 488,000 bushels is about the aver age crop. Reports indicate that 765,000 bushels of cowpeas will be gathered this fall, which is 3 per cent above last year’s production and 19 per cent above the average. Soybeans harvested are estimated at 58,000 bushels which is 29 pei lent above last year but 17 per cent below the average. The peanut crop at 11,200,000 pounds is 17 per cent and 33 per ent, respectively, above last year and the five-year average. Pecan harvesting, begun in Oc tober, revealed a shorter crop than expected earlier in the season and the crop is now estimated at 875,- ,00 pounds which is 10 per cent jelow last year’s production but 11 per cent above the average of the /ears 1928-32.

M. Eleazer, “which is de signed to reward the man who real ly has the best corn in the field, the corn is brought in undisturbed and is shucked in front of the judges. Ever since it was begun it has attracted much interest. “This year 19 farmers, young and old, entered the contest, and a resourceful little 4-H club boy, whose father is a night watchman, hgged tn his 50 ears—having caught a ride to town. Before he finished shucking his corn the farmers began eyeing it, knowing that he was going to give them a run for the money. His sample easily won first place. “ T bet your daddy grew that corn’, someone remarked, and in both resentment and disgust the youngster replied, *My daddy is a night watchman, he works at nigh: and sleeps in the daytime, and he has never had his foot in my corn field.’ “That boy had pure seed corn and he won in a walk. He was absolutely delighted with the $5.00 he won.” Young Pace also won prizes on his 10-ear and single-ear exhibits entered in the 4-H club department of the county fair, according to the records of T.

Elimination of the wide fluctua tions in potato production and prices is the chief objective of the potato program proposals which representatives of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration dis cussed with growers, handlers, and state extension officials in the chief potato producing areas of the coun try in a series of conferences which started October 21. Discussions at these conferences include the proposed program for increasing returns from the 1935 crop, sales allotments for the 1936 crop, changes which growers have suggested for the Potato Act, and other plans which have been sug gested to the Agricultural Adjust ment Administration for meeting the potato problem.

DETROIT, Mich., Nov. 15.—The Chevrolet Motor Company is look ing forward to the highest volume of Christmas sales i» its 25-year history, according to W. E. Holler, vice president and general sales manager, who in an interview out lined the factors supporting that view. , The prediction is based, Mr. Holler said, mainly upon three points—the excellence of the new 1936 Chevrolets which were intro duced November 2; the timeliness of their introduction, just before the Christmas buying season; and the fact that the new General Mo tors Acceptance CorporatSon’s six per cent purchase plan reduces to a new low figure the outlay requir ed to own and drive a new motor car. “Orders taken on announcement day,” said Mr. Holler, “exceeded anything hi oar history- Plainly, the public agrees with us that the w 1928 Chevrolets are the finest prod uct we have ever introduced.

There has been a growing trend toward the giving- of automobiles for Christmas, and these fine cars of low price will certainly be selected by many for Christmas giving, v “This should be especially true in light of the fact that the pur chaser is giving a next year’s car, rather than one which will be sup planted by a new model' in a few weeks. The advancement of the announcement date removes this deterrent to Christmas buying, and for that reason can not fail to stimulate year-end business. “Finally, there is the new pay ment plan just announced by GMAC, whereby the purchaser on a 12-payment contract receives tjie benefit of lowered interest fates. The GMAC purchase plan in use heretofore was the most liberal automobile time payment plan in the industry. With the further reduction in rate announced by GMAC, it becomes possible for the thrifty buyer to effect further im portant savings by selecting as a Christmas gift one of the new Chevrolets.” ' ' NOTICE OF TAX SALE Under and by virtue of a warrant issued to me by the County Treas urer of McCormick County, I have seized the following described prop erty to satisfy the taxes due the State of South Carolina and the County of McCormick, for the years 1931, 1932, 1933 and 1$34, and the same will be sold to the highest bidder for cash on ’ salesday in December, 1935, during the legal hours of sale in front ofHhe Court House Door at McCofknick, South Carolina, and the proceeds of the sale will be applied to the payment of the said taxes and the cost ol said seizure and sale, to wit: The property of S.
