fully automatic transmission.
Through the combined effect of
its torque converter and plane
tary gearing, it provides a maxi
mum torque increase of 4.47 to
1 — the highest starting ratio |
of all automatic transmissions.
“Our dealers will demonstrate:
to customers that PowerFlite is:
also the smoothest automatic ;
transmission,” Mansfield said.
"It is the least complicated and
easiest to service in the low
price field.”
Plymouth’s other no-shift
drive, th© popular Hy-Drive, is
being retained as another option
because of its low cost and be
cause it has proved to be out
standingly successful in owner
use, Mansfield said. It is a com
bination of torque converter and
three - speed transmission
which eliminates the need for
shifting in all normal driving, but
permits manual shifting into in
termediate and low gears when
desired.
Power Flow Engine
The Plymouth Power Flow en
gine, used with PowerFlite trans
mission, is a six cylinder, L-head,
in - line design, retaining the
traditional Plymouth features,
including valve seat inserts and
and chromed top piston rings. It
has a piston displacement of
230.2 cubic inches, bore and
stroke of 3-1-4” x 5-5-8”, com
pression ratio of 7.25 to 1, maxi
mum brake horsepower of 110 at
3600 RPM, and maximum torqile
of 190 pounds at 1600 RPM.
BEST COTTON PRACTICES
Agronomy experts recommend
the following six practices for
producing high economical
yields, which will be necessary
in 1954 if good profits are to
be realized by Georgia farmers:
I (1) selection of good land; (2)
use of adapted varieties of seed
I that have been treated; 3) use
। of large amounts of well blanc
ied fertilizer; (4) good stand of
[ healthy plants; (5) clean, rapid
| and shallow cultivation, and (6)
a good insect program.

NEWS Party Is Family Affair
,4s Three Celebrate Birthday
Members of The Covington
NEWS and their wives and hus
bands were feted Friday night,
February 26 with a party given
by the company. The group met
at the NEWS Building at 7 p. m.
and proceeded to Lang’s Place
on Jackson Lake for the supper.
On arrival at the dining hall
each member was given a name
card and hat. At the conclusion
of the fish and chicken supper,
three birthday cakes were pre
sented to the members of the
staff who were celebrating their
birthdays Friday. They were Bel
mont Dennis, Editor; Mrs. Mari
on Britt, secretary; and E. L.
Blair, linotype operator.
Art Henderson, bookkeeper,
read a report of “a day at the
office,” which afforded a great
deal of humor in that each indi
vidual recognized something per
taining to themselves. Short talks
were given by different mem
bers of the staff. A social hour
followed which featured music
and dancing.
Members of the party were:
Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Dennis, Mr.
and Mrs. Marion Britt, Mr. and

Fertilize Grain
And Remove Cows,
Farmers Advised
“Now is the time to take cat
tle off small grain grown pri
marily for grain,” according to
J. R. Johnson, Agricultural Ex
tension Service agronomist for
the University of Georgia. “When
the cattle are removed, an ap
plication of 20 to 48 pounds of
available nitrogen should be ap
plied per acre,” he says. “The
heavier application of nitrogen
should be used only on land
where lodging is not a problem.
More than 60 percent of Geor
gia’s small grain sowed alone is
grazed during the winter, John
son estimted this week. This
practice often increases the
yield, due to shorter straw re
sulting in less lodging.
Production of annual winter
grazing mixtures such as oats,
crimson clover, and rye graSs
may be increased by applying
20 to 30 pounds of available ni
trogen at this time of year, he
added. This increased growth
may be used for grazing, hay, or
grass silage.
Grass silage is becoming more
common for furnishing cheap
feed for critical grazing periods,
he said.
FOR a BETTER GARDEN THIS
YEAR
Here are hints for a better
garden this year. Agricultural
Extension Service vegetable
specialists say mulch tomatoes,
eggplant, peppers and pole
ibeans. Water garden weekly
if needed. Keep fence rows free
from weeds and grass. Watch
out for insects and get nd of
them as soon as they show up.

Forest Fire :
I
Loss Reduced by
85,341 Acres

Forest fire loss on protected
woodlands of Georgia was re- I (
duced by more than 85,341 acres
during 1953, Guyton DeLoach,
Director, Georgia Forestry Com
mission, reported this week,
The Commission Director also
reported the number of forest
fires occuring annually on lands
protected by the Georgia For-1
estry Commission was reduced
from 9,187 in 1952 to 8,120 in
1953 —a decrease of 1,067 fires,
The 1953 burned forestland to- .
taled 110,420 acres, and the 1952
total was 195,761 acres.
The report showed a 48 per
cent decrease in acreage burned,
and nearly a 12 per cent decrease
in forest fires.
“This record,” Mr. DeLoach
pointed out, “was acheived de
spite the fact 1,397,794 more
acres under protection 1953 than
during the previous year, and
more acreage, therefore, figured
I in reporting of burns.

The Director paid tribute to
County Rangers and other forest
fire suppression personnel of the
Georgia Forestry Commission for
their work in reducing the an
nual fire loss in the face of
the increased acreage and cer
tain especially dry periods of
fire danger during the year.
He also lauded the citizens of
Georgia for their work in the
preventing of forest fires and
their contributions toward the
“Keep Georgia Green” move
ment.

Director DeLoach said the No.
1 cause of forest tiroes last year
came from those who deliberately
set the woods afire either
through the mistaken belief that
greater profits could be realized
by “burning off” the woods.
Trash and debris burning ranked
as the No. 2 cause of Georgia's
forest fires.
About 30,000 more Georgia
boys and girls are now enrolled
in 4-H Clubs in the state than
were ten years ago.
