GROW A GARDEN
By L. A, Hawkins, Agricultural Ex-
tension Department Internation-
al Harvester Company
Have a garden. Grow your own
vegetables. We need a good garden
for every home. Growing a vegetable
garden is economical, as it provides
us with fresh vegetables d'uring the
summer and fall and gives us a sur

There may be bad times and good
times on the farms in Crosby County
but it is indeed a pleasing thing to
number of farrtT
bankruptcies has shown a decided
drop—in fact such calamities in this
county have been, very minor affairs,
if any at all, recently.
It is interesting to note that the
number of farm bankruptcies all over
the United States has been greatly
reduce:h'and that 1927 showed a sharp
decline, according to the government
statistics.
The figures compiled, reveal that
the bankruptcy rate in 1927 was .99
per 1,000 farms, compared with 1.22
in 1926, 1.23 in 1925 and 1.22 in
1924. The number of farm bank-
ruptcies per thousand farms in .1913
was only .15.
The world war cause;! the number
to increase almost ten times, and in
7 it was just doubled to what it
was before the war. Now that the
war has passed ten years, the tend-
ency is again going the other way,
pointing once more to normalcy.
Farm* bankruptcy statistics are
nevertheless a valuable indication o<
general and'also local agricultural
changes... . It is significant, for
example, that some, of the utatis

.irst,' from T

which showed the greatest increase in

despite having two less working days
than March, will show ||ractically aa
high a production volume as the
month just ended. Mr. Knudsen
stated that still highpr records are
possible when a new assembly plant
with a capacity" of 350 cars a day7
which is shortly to be opened at
Atlanta, gets under way to augment
the output of the other factories.
An unusual feature of the March
output was the fact-that more than
113,000 units of the total volume were
absorbed by the domestic- market to
assure all dealers of an adequate
number for prompt delivery.
The remarkable showing of the
company was interpreted -here as a
sweeping endorsement of the refine-
ments embodied in the Bigger and
Better Chevrolet as. well as a tribute
to the far-seeing policy of Chevrolet
officials in arranging their production
facilities so that ears might be in-
stantly available to the public.

Come to Crosby County
DETROIT, Mich., April 11.—With
Mareh production running fourteen
percent ahead of any previous month
in history, and production and sales
organizations operating at a record-
shattering pace, the Chevrolet Motor
Company for the first quarter of
1928 built a total of 324,^84 cars and
trucks, W. S. Knudsen, president and
general manager, announced here to-
day.
This record output «4s. 70,000 units
