"Whereas, a serious emergency

ed by the following facts:
1 "Rainfall is far below normal
for this period of Hie year, and
(here has been no general rainfall
throughout tlic County since early
spring;
"Pastures are producing far
below the normal yic'.d of grasses
for grazing purposes and these pas-
ture, have been absolutely deplet-
ed bv necessary over-grazing:
‘.'Stockmen and dairymen have
found it necessary to feed addition-
al hay and grain for several
months to sustain their herds,
w hen as normally this type ot feed-
ing would not be necessary until
severe winter weather occurs;
"Because of the necessity of
this early feeding and the necessity
of u: ing meadow s tor grazing pur-
poses, and because of the lack of
grass production, the stoekmen-
daitymen are not aide to accumu-
late feeds for the winter;
"Grain crops are not producing
a normal yield and are only ;e por-
tion of what might be normally
expected, and some, fic'ids are be-
in;.' crazed by necessity rather than
saving llie grains for later feed-
in":
"The problem is so severe that
many stockmen dan ymen are dis-

keepiiiK a step ahead of fhe other fellow —
espec ially when it comes to cars?
So wouldn’t yon find it fun to boss the newest
thiiiK in motonlom — a ear with the greatest

Hecau.se this very day yon can step into a 1950
Hoick with Variable Pitch Dynaflow* and drive

sive, so smooth that yon may not find its like in
other cars for years to come.
You can have the thrill of split-second action
from'the merest nudge of the pedal—and with
the good-news gas savings this economy range
In iligs.
You can have the safety-surge ol power that
comes from pushing down on the pedal and
switc hing the pitch.
All with the walloping might of Bunk s 522-
< iihic-ineh V8 engine. All with the new liixurv
of a ride that’s Built on I hrawnv coil springs
for Buoyant levelness. A ride with new steering
ease and sweeter handling.
Rest of all, you can make the htiv of a lifetime.
For today’s low prices have helped move Btiick
