Oakland Has Best August in History.

’ Gaining nearly 2,000 units over the best previous August of record the Oakland Motor Car Company during ;the month just ended sold 23,283 cars, W. R. Tracy vice-president in charge of sales recently annocunced. ;, This figure compares\ with 21,299 sales for the highest previous August 1927 and shows a gain even over th~ record of 22,704 cars in July 1928. Total volume for the first eight months of 1928 was 206,766 Oakland and Pontiac Sixes against 137,409 during the corresponding period last year. : :

Sales for the entire year of 1927 were 1922,000 cars. This the best year in Oakland history was equalled in 1928 on August eleventh after less than eight full months of production with every indication that the total 1928 output will exceed the advance program of 270,000 cars Mr. Tracy stated. - o

Month after month tentative production schedules have had to be stepped up to keep pace with the growing demand for these popular General Motors lines, he declared. During the fiscal selting year -of 1927-28 which ended in August the Oakland dealer organization had sold more than 260,000 units to exceed their quota by better then i6,000 cars according to Mr. Tracy. He stated that the quota for the sales vear of 1928-29 has been measurably increased over last year’s on the basis of the bright future outlook for the Oakland organization and the industry in general. - ~ To handle the growing volume of sales the Oakland sales executives !stated the dealer organization is being steadily expanded until at present it is more -than five times the size of the Oakland domestic dealer body three years ago. ‘ ‘ - Manufacturing facilities have also‘ been stabilized by the transfer of production operations to the centralized Oakland-Pontiac factory location on the outskirts of Pontiac Michigan. The combined plants are completely new within the past two years and are equipped with the newest and most ‘scientific precisioh machinery known to the industry Mr. Tracy pointed out. : Employment at the factories and at the affiliated Fisher Body division he stated is at a record high figure to keep production on even kell with the anticipated demand for the Oakland ~and Pontiac lines during the ccming months. ! 5 |

Farmers who begin now to build their lines of defense against the corn borer will be ablé to slow down the march of this enemy and will be most likely to win the battle with it, observes the Sears-Roebuck Agricultural Foundation. Farm methods will have to be changed eventually, and some of the modifications will require several years for completion, 80 that it will be a mistake to wait 'for the borer's actual arrival, ! Greatest changes will have to be made in sections now . producing a llarge acreage of corn, where only a ¥small portion of the stalks are fed ;and where small graig is commonly }som'n in corn land in the spring with,out plowing and usually without re- » moving the corn ‘stalks. The least ! change will be needed in those sec- ' tlons and on those farms where only !a moderate acreage is beihg planted !’ In corn, where most of the corn is +cut and siloed or shredded, and where { corn land is practically all plowed In | preparing for the next crop. These | are essential practices in areas In- { fested with the borer:

» A- gradual change to crop rotations i which include only a limited acreage fin corn and a maximum acreage of ,crops mot molested by the borer and :which permit removing or plowing unjder all plant refuse will help to conitrol the pest. The selection of crops ito displace corn must be made with | reference to the adaptation of the (sou, the markets, the labor supply, .and the live stock program on the ‘individual farm, Sugar beets, alfalfa, !soybeans, and small grains are some ;of the crops which have been substi:tuted for corn in areas where the :borer is already present and where ythe necessity of cleaning up stalks 'has added $2 to $3 per acre to the ;cost of growing corn. + Siloing and shredding cause almost {complete destruction of borers. A ‘change in the live stock program so ;a8 to utllize more of the corn crop lin these forms is desirable on many jfarms, the * Foundation continues. Hogging-down can be practiced, al‘though 1t increases the difficulty of 'clean-up methods. Corn stalks and lcobs in feeding yards and barn lots twill have to be cleaned up in early 'spring after the borer is on the scene. i The plow-1s the chief weapon of {warfare against the borer when it is iat close range. Plowing corn stalks jcompletely under is the most feasible ’,ws’.y to dispose of them and the simiplest, most effective way to prevent isevere commercial damage from the ‘borer. They must be completely covlered deep enough so that other ma;chlnery will not drag them ‘to the isurface, Disc harrows and drills will ‘have to replace toothed implements.

, Dairymen should avoid raising any heifer calves except the daughters of high-producing cows and pure-bred ’datry bulls, -says the Sears-Roebuck Agricultural Foundation. Likewise, they should take advantage of pre'valling high prices for beef to cull out the boarders and low-producing COWS. :

When the slim, one-plece dress, the simple, close-fitting undergarments and 'tbf- silk-from-top-to-toe hose replaced t the starched, long-sleeved, high-necked yshirtwaist, the voluminous, ruffled lﬁounce petticoats and the substantial i cotton stockings worn early In the 11900’s, there was a marked decline in ?{ the consumption of cotton goods yard,age for women s clothes, aceording to 'the Sears-Roebuck Agricultural Foun?datlon. Requirements of Industries ! for cotton, however, have grown sufiif'clently In recent years to offset any i effect of the marked style changes in !clothing.on per capita coosumption t Which averaged 27.3 pounds from 1922 jto 1927 compared with 26.6 pounds in ithe five ercp years from 1905 to 1910. ; Twenty years ago, women generilly jowned only one silk dress and this iwas carefully packed away, stuffed | with paper to prevent cracking, and pbrouzht cut for weddings or funerals. tCotton dresses, underwear and hose Iturnlshed the bulk of their wardrobes. Il‘oda.y, the situation is entirely «changed for many women, as silk and irayon are crowding cotton out of the i picture so far as clothing is concerned, (and single cotton dresses hang in clostets filled with silk garments. { Changes in fashion have been chief{ly responsible for the decreased use {of cotton clothes, although prices of fraw cotton have been advancing while lother textiles have been marked lowler. In the past five years, the aver!age cost of raw cotton was nearly 70 ;per cent more than in the five years | preceding the war. Raw silk prices, ’,at the present time on the other hand, | are the lowest In ten years, and the irapid expansion In rayon production ihas brought lower prices for this ﬂber,_i lalso. i

'{ Industrial uses are absorbing an Inicreasing proportion of the cotton sup- ' ply, offsetting the decline in con;sumptiou of yard goods in the cloth{ing trade. The rubber trade, the au{tomobile industry, airplane manuficrturers, and makers of wall coverings, {ertificlal leather, and so on, are today using cotton sheetings, mulls, gmuslins, ducks, sateens, in ways unkrown a quarter of a century ago. A {half million bales go to the automoybile tire makers each year, another }quarter million goes to supply the gro- { cery trade with bags, and 100,000 bales lare required annually to make bags {for cement. Ootton cloths are also *'{used extensively In the construction rand equipment of airplanes and the Texpansion of this industry will open iup wider markets for cotton goods. All modes of transportation, railroads, !steamships, even shoes, create a large jmarket for cotton goods. New =suc{cesses in making cotton goods water:proof have increased their use in iraincoats. ;

SITB over thé cost of feed. In geni i teral, each 100 pounds’ increase in ‘butterfat resulted in an increase of 1840 in income over cost of feed.

' Saving about two heifer calves out {ot five will maintain dairy herds, so ‘that it Is easy at any time to increase ;matertally the number raised. In the jlast few years, good prices for milk ,and butterfat, for suplus milk cows ‘fand for discarded cows sold on the jbeef market, coupled with relatively ;cheap feed grains and hay, have enjcouraged farmers to save an increas‘ing number of calves, Three or four f.years ago, not enough calves were isaved to maintain herds fully, but 'probably 15 to 20 per cent more were isaved in the spring of 1928 than at ythat time and more than are needed ;merely for replacements. There is .Bome danger that too many will _be ;ralsed in another year or two if this tendency persists.

. The increase in number of heifers :now maturing is likely to bring somelwhat lower prices for dairy products by the time calves saved in the next iyear or two are in milk. Also, beef prices probably are at or close to the ‘peak of their cycle. Low grade beef from old milk cows sells at extreme'y low prices when the supply of good \beet 1 ample. 5 : Saving talves only from high-pro-;ducing cows will prevent any tenideney to an unduly rapid increase in ‘output of dairy products, according ;to the Foundatipn. By rigid culling ;and the use of pure-bred dairy sires, tand by proper feeding, average prof duction of milk per cow can be infcreased 100 to 200 pounds each year, "This will take -care of the annual igrowth in consumer demand without yrequiring an increase iﬁx herds. That ;this can be accomplished is shown by the record of the last eight years, |as the number of cows is but little ;larger'thag’ in 1920, while dairy pro- ; duction has increased more than one- ¢ third. e :

Doctor Found Women and Children Sick ; More Often than Men

As & family doctor at Monticello, Illinots, the whole human body, not any small part of it, was Dr. Caldwell’s practice. More than hali his “ealls” ‘were on women, children and babies. They are the ones most ofiten sick. But their illnesses were usually of a minor | nature—colds, fevers, headaches, biliousness—and all of them required first | a thorough evacuation. They were con- | sti’:wd. o : the course of Dr. Caldwell’'s 47 years’ practice (he was graduated from Rush Medical College back in 1875), he found a iOOd deal of success in such cases with a prescription of his own containing simple laxative herbs with pepsin. In 1892 he decided to use this formula in the manufacture of a medicine to be known as Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin, and in that year his prescription was first placed on the market. £ il ! The preparation immediately had as | great a success in the drug stores as it | previously had in Dr. Caldwell’s private | practice. ‘Now, the third gemeration is | using it. Mothers are ng&.ng 4t to their | children who were given it by t.heirj mothers. Every second of the working | day someone somewhere is going into | a gnlg store to buy it. l‘illions.of bot- | tles of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin are being used a year. Its great success is based on merit, on repeated buying, on one satisfied user telling another.
