THE ONLY CAR.OF
ITS KIND IN THE WORLD
For numberless puzzled motorists Dodge
Brothers new Victory Six will simplify
ihe problem of selection, for nowhere
in the world is (here, car like it. Greater
expenditure will not duplicate it.
To possess this cat's unique advantages
you must possess this car.
A Radical Departure ta
Body Design
In The Victory, for the first time In his
tory, the body sill is eliminated. Body
and chassis ar4 built as a single integral
unit.
Thus, the wide, deep chassis frame of
The Victory, now flush with the lines of
the body, avoids the customary overhang
of a wide body upon t narrow frame;
and the chassis itself, rather than the
body, supports all weight-body, floor,
seats ana passengers.
Amazing Results
The result! of this construction arc
astoniahing.
330 body parts are eliminated.
17S pounds of superfluous weight arc
cast off.
The all-important CENTER OF GRAY*
ITV is materially lowered.
Without the slightest sacrifice of head-
room or road-clearance, the over-ail
height of the C3t is also
lowered —one of the
secrets of The Victory's
great beauty-

Power in relation to load Is materially

er flexibility achieved;
21 valid miles per gallon at 23 miles pee

Incredible smoothness at high speed is
another great gift of this new design!
Elimination of back-wheel "chatter"
when the 4-wlml Lockheed-Hydraulic
brakes are quickly applied is still an
other!
And thanks to The Victory’s low center
of gravity and wide chassis frame, sway
ing, skidding, tipping—each a factor of
weight and its proper and improper
placement—are reduced to a new and
negligible minimum.
Another New Safety Feature

revolutionary step to insure the safest
motor transportation it is possible to

DISCUSSES COST OF
RAISING COTTON
We copy the following from
Cotton and Colton Oil News and
It endorses an Interview tbo Ban-
ner.Herald published from Mr.
Johb T. Pittard ot Wlntervllle,
given three years ago. Mr. Pit.
tard kept books on his crops.'
Here Is the exact coat for growing
cotton since 1924:
In 1924. the United States De
partment of Agriculture reported
results from 2,513 farms In the
United Slates and found the cost
of Breduction to vary from $1.45
' per pound where the average
yield was 14 pounds ot lint ncr
acre to 13c where the yield wat
half a hale per acre and 9c where
Ihe average yield 'was (18 pounds
per acre.
in 1(25. n similar survey cover
ing 1,450 farms gave an average
cost ranging from 71c per pound
where the average yields were 54
pounds per acre to 13c where the
yield was half a bale per acre
and 8c where the yield was 600
pounds per acre.
In 1926, a similar survey found
an average cost of 47c per pound
where tho average yield was 41
pounds, 13c where Ihe yield ’was
halt a hale per iefe. aqd 9c’where
tho average >]eld wps $82 pounds
per acre.
Since yield per acre determines
very largely Ihe cost of produc
tion, then noil fertility must be
.one of our most important proh.

terracing; second, organic matter
Is freqaeutly/an Important factor
third, good tillage is necessary
and good seed Is very essential
to beet results and then we have
a sufficient amount of available
plant food.
The department also gives the
results from tile use of fertili
sers. as foliowe showing that it
pays farmers to fertilise their
crops heavily. The report says:
Using the least expenditure for
fertilisers, as a check, we find
that the Increases above that have
paid a profit In all casts and
where the application of fertiliser
coat from $6 to $12 per acre the
profit on ihe Investment ranged
from )125 per cent to 150 per
cent with cotton telling at 15c
per pound. Moderate applications
of fertiliser nearly alwaya return
tbree-fourtha to a pound ot seed
cotton fer each pound of fertili
ser applied, Aa a general rule, the
fertiliser would cost about 2c per
pound and the cotton In generally ,
worth 4c to 7c per pound.
