Spacing Corn In Planting.
There is a best spacing rate
for corn in Texas, but it varies
not only with soil fertility and
moisture, but sometimes with the
variety. Wherw the plants are

DEALER ADVERTISEMENT
YVTI1Y do you suppose Chevrolet keeps repeating, in all of
W its advertising, "Drive it only 5 miles”? Very frankly,
here's the reason: Chevrolet engineers have tried out all the
various makes of cars in today's low-price field. They have compared
performance — on rough roads, in traffic, over hills, through sand and
mud and water! And they have proved, to their complete satisfac-
tion, the same things that hundreds of thousands of Chevrolet owners
are proving in their daily driving. The Chevrolet ride simply can't
be matched by any other in the low-price field. That's why we urge
you to "Drive it only 5 miles"—and that's why we promise, "you'll
never be satisfied with any other low-priced car."
