New GMC V-6 Truck
Engine Announced
The development of a new ser-
fps nf V-6 easoline truck engines
whose durability promises to be
as much as three to lour times
greater than existing designs,
has been announced by Philip
Monaehan. vice president of
General Motors and manager of
the GMC Truck division, local
GMC dealer James Farley said
this week.
The new engines, the first of
their kind ever developed, In
clude a 12 cylinder powerplant
having the same 60 degree V de
sign that Is common to the en
tire group.
GMC claims the new engines
will have a potential of 100,000
to 200.000 miles of operation
without major overhaul and the
engines are said to develop high
toraue at moderate engine speed
reducing wear and increasing
fuel economy. For example one
size develops maximum torque
at around 1400 revolutions per
minute compared with 2500 for
typical V-8 engines. Many other
advances are claimed.
Farm Census Sot
During October;
Values Outlined
Why take a farm census?
Census taking requires money
and time, but turns up facts
about the fast-changing busi
ness of farming that makes It
well worthwhile, maintains Mar
ion D Thomas, Oregon State Col
lege extension agricultural econ
omist. The 17th nationwide farm
count will start in October in
Oregon.
The census nrovidos a fnrtnal
foundation for wise management
of farms, businesses and govern
ment, Thomas noted. It's our
main source of county and local
data, he added. Census answers
such questions as: Where are
Yields highest? Where Increas
ing most? Where is production
located? How many farms are
there? How big? How much are
farmers snpndinc fnr snnnlioe?
K O - " .
I Each farmer benefits by know
ing how he stacks ud with farm.
, ers all over the nation. The farm
count tells him how his farm is
like the average farm; how it
is different. It helps him make
decisions in Hcht- nf uhat hno
happened in other parts of the
country.
The census elves farmers the
same kind of information used
by businesses and governmental
agencies in making decisions.
Public and private agencies
serving farmers with informa
tion, materials, transportation,
credit, storage and the like all
use census figures to guide their
plans, the economist points out.
Advertising staffs of publications
and firms that make or sen
farm eoods use census informa
tion to determine equipment
wanted In different parts of the
country.
The census provides facts for
groups concerned with local prob
lems such as best use of land
and water. Figures are used in
seeking public support for re
search, education, health protec
tion, or when disaster aid is re
quested In times of drought,
flood or pestilence. The govern
ment uses data to plan public
programs.
