wool program, payments are
made to growers as an Incen

The payment rate is the per

to better inform these people,
Marlon Thomas, extension agri
cultural economist Is scheduled
to explain farm parity, the farm
rrocram and the Importance o
nrlri ilt lira tf industry to the
HeDDner-Morrow County Cham
ber of Commerce at their noon
luncheon on April 18. As a part
of his talk he will tell these
business men that agriculture Is
a big business. He will point oui
that over six billion tons of steel
are used each year in the con
struction of farm buildings and
the production of farm machin
ery more than is used In the
production of automobiles. These
agricultural industries also use
more raw rubber each year than
is used by passenger automo
biles. The present value of the
machines and structures used in
agriculture is over thirty billion
dollars, or more than five times
the total Investment in auto
manufacturing. More than forty
million tons of chemical mater
ials are needed for each year's
production of agricultural com
modities. And irrigation of crops
accounts for about half of the
fresh water used in the nation
dally. Over 250 billion tons of
soil are turned over or stirred
each year some of it several
times. American farmers produce
about COO million tons of crops
and animals products each year,
five times the weight of the to
tal annual production of steel.

Anyone who's looked around knows
the majority of Chevrolet models Ps
and V8'8 together list for less than
comparable models of other low-priced
cars. But the price tag alone is only
one of a whole raft of reasons a
Chevy does better by your dollars.
Nothing near Chevy's size and price can
match the Full Coil cushioning of its
ride, or the fine, finished workmanship
of its Body by Fisher. That even applies
to some cars that cost a lot more. You're
up in the higher price brackets before
you find a car that moves as quietly as a
Chevrolet or offers the inner space that
Chevrolet does.
Or look at the extras Chevy gives you
at no extra cost that others in its class
can't offer at any price. Shock-cushioned
steering. Safety Plate Glass in every win
dow. Keyless locking of all doors. Crank
operated vent windows. Chevrolet offers
the widest choice of power teams, too.
