*51 Plymouth
DETROIT, Mich. —Spectacular
new' qualities which prodduce
driving and riding ease hereto
fore unknown in automobiles of
any price feature the new line of
Plymouth cars. Combining Smart
new 7 body lines with unprecedent
ed interior luxury, the new Ply
mouth will go on display in dealer
showrooms throughout the United
States SaSturday, January 13.
Designers have given the Ply
mouth a striking new silhouette,
and refinements in the interior
are innovations in hte lowest
price field. The styling improvve-
ments retain the traditional room
iness of the cars.
Easier to drive aj)d % more com
fortable, the new cars have great
er beauty, more safety features
and broader ranges of vision than
ever before.
Engineers say the new “Safety-
Flow ride” takes the bounce and
wallop out o fbumps. A new ap
plication of hydraulic flow con
trol in the shock absorbers pro
vide a more gradual change of
resistance during spring deflec
tions and thus a softer ride when
driving on average roads. It
also exerts resistance on rough
roads to a degree where driver
and passengers are almost com
pletely freed of the discomfort
of being jolted around.
• The “Safety-Flow ride” is one
o fthe greatest contributions to
driving comfort and safety in
recent years, according to D. S.
Eddins, president of Plymouth
Motor Corp.
/ “The new Plymouth gives you
roadability never before offered
in any car,’» he said. “There is no
necessity for steering-wheel fa
tigue to control the car on diffi
cult roads. The driver is no
longer required to focus full at
tention n on the condition of the
road. He tfiay be more watchful
of oncoming traffic, pedestrians,
curves, crossroads nad other po
tential hazards.”
The lines of the new Plymouth
have been beautified. An ap
pearance of massiveness com-,
bined with smart streamlining is
induced by a new grille, beautiful
ly redesigned front fenders. and
hood, a wider windshield an a
larger rear window. Narrower
windshield pillars together with
the wider windshield rpovide ad
ditional lateral vision, To utilize
fully the greater vision through
the new rear window, the rear
view mirror is two inches wider.
The chair-height front seat and
thenew design of hood and
front fenders permit the driver
to see the road nearer the car.
There are numerous mechani
cal improvements. Windshield
wipers are electrically operated,
and are of the single-speed, self
parking type.
All Plymouth engines now have
a built-in by-pass cooling system
permitting water circulation and
resulting in more uniform temper
ature throughout the engine dur
ing the warm-up period. The new
system consists of a passage in
the cylinder head and block pro
viding direct access to the water
pump and a choke-type thermo
stat to regulate coolant flow to
the radiator.
The generator output has been
raised to 45 amperes, an increase
of five amperes, providing great
er electrical capacity for the oik
eratlon of car accessories. The
new hand brake “T” control
hantle is more accessible, and,
as on former models, it operates
independently of the foot brake
as an added safety measure.
In the convertible club coupe,
the spare tire is mounted ver
tically as in other coupe and se
dan models, rather than on the
trunk floor.
The new Plymouth interiors of
fer the finest selection of up
holstery and trim and the most
harmonious color schemes in the
company's history. The colors
which have been chosen provide
throughout the interior a pleasing
combination of shades in harmony
with the car’s exterior color. De
signers say the interior is an
unparalleled achievement in com
bining practicality with luxury.
Always noted for spaciousness,>
Plymouth now has even more
head room and more room to
stretch out comfort in the rear
seat.
To go with the high quality of
the upholstery, there is a hand
some new instrument panel which
features a more convenient group
ing of controls, newly shaped in
struments and Improved coloring
and lettering for easier checking
while driving.
The wide, deep chair-height
seats, the ease of entrance and
exit, and all the other traditional
Plymouth features for driver and
passenger comfort have been re
tained.
FARMS
AND
FOLKS
A HIGH AIM
The County Agricultural Com
mittee of Chesterfield set the
goad a few years ago of a few
acres of good prepared perma
nent pasture on every farm for
the family cow.
County Agent Willis says;
“Every effprt is being made to
carry out this goal.” And I
know they are making substantial
progress, for I saw ‘em as I
rode with Willis.
The family cow—and that
means about two x cows and a
yearling or so—really paeans
something on a farm when they
are over hoof deep in grass and
clover most of the time. My the
healthful nutrition she can add to
the family table!
CHICKENS IN PICKENS
Over a hundred farmers turned
out at Pickens to hear a Gaines
ville, Georgia, hatcheryman pre
sent his proposition for them to
produce hatching eggs, according
to County Agent Wood. He says
it is an attractive offer. They
are now seeing if they can line
up the necessary 20,000 hens.
L
UNION 4-H DAIRY CALF SHOW
They had 17 nice heifers at the
Union county 4-H dairy show in
the fall. County 1 Agent Cochran
says they need more livestock
in that county. Through the above
medium they feel they are build-,
ing some future dairymen. A
local bank sponsors this effort.
STILL IN HARNESS
A year or so ago the veteran
county agent R. H. Lemmon re
tired to Fairfield. But he did
not go into hiding. He is still
actively interested in the agri
cultural welfare of the county.
County Agent Lynn tells me that
Lemmon was recently elected
chairman of their county agri
cultural committee.
Lemmon’s service as county
a^ent dated back to the horse
and buggy days. He left home
for days at a time, carried a
ievel in his buggy, and among
other things laid off many a ter
race. You can still see some of
these where pine timber now
grows. He was a pioneer in tak
ing care of timber too, and
served long as chairman of their
local forestry group. And he
was talking grass and cattle
back when many knew grass only
as a pest in the cotton patch.
Fairfield county has lived to
see the wisdom in what Lemmon
taught. Once an all cotton coun
ty, it now gets more dollars
from pulpwood alone than from
cotton. Its pastures are vast and
its cattle business is getting to
where it really counts.
Pastures are still on the up
grade there. During October,
County Agent Lynn set up four
uew pasture demonstrations. “The
purpose of these is to observe
the effect of rock phosphate over
a period of years,’ 1 he says.
And “a pasture establishment
demonstration was held on W. M.
Clowny’s farm in the Lebanon
community. Fifty farmers attend
ed and saw a two-acre plot trans-
fered from wasteland into a per
manent pasture. A new type
land clearer was demonstrated
there,” according to Lynn.

POISON PAID
Oconee made a strong weevil
fight the past sepson. County
Agent Griffin c canvassed-the deal
ers and found ^enough poison had
been sold to put about 50 pounds
of dust on every acre of cotton.
But, of course, it wasn’t used
that way. A good bit of their
cotton was poisoned right and
got considerably more than that,
while some got less, and some
none.
Result—Griffin says: "In every
field where the recommendations
were followed, good results were
obtained. It looks now as if
we will make almost as many
bales this year as last on 40 per
cent less acres. We do not anti
cipate having to urge them to
poison their cotton to control the
weevil next year.”
And down in Marion the story
runs about the same. Listen to
County Agent King;
“Largely due to widespread
poisoning, our cotton yield the
past year was almost double that
of the year before. The question
the coming year will be do we
need poison for boll weevil
control, but it will be what kind
and how to supply/*
BOYS ARE THAT WAY
Our preacher came from away
off. That made his boy seem
peculiar to us, and we picked on
him.
One cold Sunday they were
visiting us. The old folks sat
in the parlor, and we played in
the living room. About a half
dozen of our buddies from tha
hills were there too.
Ben had learned a new game,
a secretly told us about it,
nd the preacher's son was
built up as the Innocent victim.
Ben announced that he could hide
an egg in that room and he bet
my older brother couldn't find it.
Everybody was enthusiastic. My
brother went out in the hall and
shut the door. Ben pretended
to look for a good place to
hide it, and one of us suggested
ha put it under the tunny boy’s
hat. (He kept his 'hat on in the
house fdr he had been having
earache.) All thought that a
grand idea.
Then we called my brother In
from the hall. He pretended to
search all around, looking be
hind pictures, in drawers, in the
wood box and all. We were all
laughing and wisecracking at him,
unable to find the egg. -He felt
in my pockets and then In those
of the preacherJs son. And with
a gesture of despair, he flopped
his hand squarely on that boy’s
head, breaking the egg, and it
streamed dpwn through his hair
and Into his face.
Well, sir, you could have heard
us * laughing plumb across the
road, I am sure. Parents came
from ^across the hall to see what
the commotion was all about. We
lit out, bid behind the woodpile,
and rolled in the straw.
We peeped around and saw
them bring him on the back
porch. They broke the ice In
the water bucket there. Poured
some of it in the washpan.
Brought the steaming kettlfe from
the kitchen and poured a little
hot water in. Then washed the
raw egg from his hair and face
And we had to keep our distance
for a while until things cooled
off.
