a "Successful Farming" campaign
now being carried on by county
agents in Prince Edward, Charlotte.
Appomattox, and Buckingham coun-
ties, Virginia. "Getting down to
tacks," ns the slang phrase goes,
these four agents formulated certain
specific rules that every farmer
should observe that every merchant
should ask farmers to observe. Fur
*ample, it was agreed thnt on every
farm there should be t.mong other
things:—
1 At least two dairy-type milk
cows.
2 One brood sow.
Thirty purebred hens.
4 A half-acre all-year garden for
each six persons, containing 18 vege-
tables as follows: asparagus, beans,
beets, cabbage, carrots, celery, corn,
cucumbers, kale, lettuce, okra, onion,
peas, pepper, salsify, squash, toma-
toes, and turnips: also strawberries
and grapes.
•"> A home orchard of .10 trees,
apple, peach, etc.
f> Two acres of legume hay and
two acres of permanent pasture for
each cow.

Its a little amusing, hut the report
is that Mr. Elvin Voigt ran upon a
bear in his pasture n tew days ago.
How much scared he was we do not
know, but we learn since then he
keeps an armed guard in the field

NO-NOX
MOTOR FUEL
STOPS KNOCKS
PUTS CARBON TO WORK
|UTTING the old demon, carbon, to work sounds like a paradox—
nevertheless that's just what GULF No-Nox Motor Fuel does and
here's how it happens: Compression is power. The more com-
pression the more power. Greater compression is secured by reducing the
displacement or space in the combustion chamber. Carbon deposits mater-
ially reduce this space—old time gasoline would not withstand this
added carbon compression — clicks — knocks—pings or detonations of
distress quickly following sudden acceleration or heavy pulls.
No-Nox withstands higher compression—stops the knocks or detonations,
thereby increasing engine efficiency. GULF No-Nox and Carbon Deposits
work together for more power and greater mileage.
Turns Mountains Into Mole Hills
This guarantee goes with it: GULF No-Nox Motor Fuel is Non-Noxious,
Non-Poisonous and no more harmful to man or motor than ordinary gaso-
line—that it contains no dope of any kind—that the color Is for identifica-
tion only—that it positively will not heat the motor, winter or summer.
GULF No-Nox Motor Fuel is priced three cents per gallon higher than
ordinary gasoline—and is worth it.
