SAFETY COURSES IN SCHOOLSWISE APPROACH TO PROBLEM

Union HeraldSchools and communities are showing in-

creasing interest in the traffic safety prob-lem. Educators, traffic officials and othershave come to the conclusion that somethinghas to be done?and that the time to do itis now.

Proof of this is found in the wide-spreadacceptance of two standard books on trafficsafety issued by the National Conservation

i Bureau. One, "Man and the Motor Car," isLdesigned for high yhools. Its sale has ex-Jceeded 120,000 copies and numerous special

Properly Graded Leaf IBrings Higher Price,

A little time spent in sorting to-1bacco carefully has been known to |earn a farmer more money than ail |4be work he spent in the fieldgrowing and harvesting it.

In the warehouse it's a commonsight to see a "pin-hooker" buy a

few baskets of mixed leaf from thegrowers grade it carefully, and sellit io the buyers for considerablymore than he paid the farmer fortke same tobacco, said E. Y. Floyd,

at State College,The farmer who grows the weed

could get just as much for it as th'e"pin-hooker" if he brings it to tie-warehouse carefully sorted and pack-ed attractively on the baskets,Floyd continued.

Boytra dont like baskets of mix-ed leaf, and they w'ont bid Very

\u25a0much for them. But after it hasdieen re-sorted and packed in totsaccording to body, quality, color, and«Ue of leaves, they will bid the

price for the particular leaf

ia each basket.Adequate light is needed in the

aorting rootfis so the leaf can bemmk clearly and graded accurately.91b the same kind of leaves iatobandies or hands, and have enough

different lota to cover the fullrange of quality, length, and col«r of the crop.

Tobacco of low grade will often-bring a fair price when it ia prop-erly prepared, but even the bestgrade on the market wont bring topprices if it is mixed with inferiorleaf.

Growers who have more leaf thanthey can sell tax-free will find itpays to sell their best leaf first, and?pay tax only on the lower pricediobacco as the higher the price,

jthe higher the tax will be. However,

I some growers with excess tobaccoare planning to buy extra market-

| ing quota cards from growers whoi do not have enough tobacco to use| up the full amount of their cards.

editions have been issued by state depart-ments. It is used as a standard text in thous-ands of schools, and its vivid message isreaching hundreds of thousands of youngpeople.

The other book, "Creating Safer Com-munities," is a guide for planning and exe-cuting sound community traffic control pro-grams. So far, 31 of the states have pub-lished authorized editions of this text. Thebook recommends and completely describesproven techniques for engineering, drivereducation and community law enforcement.

This is the kind of "scientific accident pre-vention" which gets results. Hit-and-missefforts have proven worthless. We must lookto the engineer, to the educator, and to

| other authorities in the safety field for guid-i ance which will reduce accdents. The factthat BO many states and municipalities haveeagerly seized the diance to get books suchas these, written by experts for the layman,is the most cheering and significant sign inthe accident field.

FOR CLARITY

News and ObserverThe State Board of Elections is like "a

snake crawling on its bellv," former Gor-ernor J. C- B. Ehringhaus toldJudge W. C. Harris, intending in no way toreflect, as he said, upon the personal char-acters of the members of the board.

This ought to be clear to everybody.

This suggestion is made fy (Jieti-

i .tians at BuJfaJo.'s. zop, cfaiin\u25a0 that meals prepared by them have

quintupled the simians' life ,sppn.- And, they 'declare, it ought to prb-

l duce the same results for humans.i "Many monkeys have never known> a sick day in their lives since they

r have lived on our special diet," or«e\u25a0 keeper declared.

"They live on vegetables and fruit.

I The diet human beings should fol-- low if they want to live beyond the: average span.

1 "Some of the monkeys have reach-ed the age of 35. The usual age

3 of monkeys in captivity is seven

- years. This prolonged life is equalto 90 to 100 years in the life ofa human."

Tar Heel Farmers

Get A.A. A. MillionsNorth Carolina farmers received

8,85*3,60].05 cents up to August 13for their participation in the 1937agricultural conservation program,E. Y. Floyd, of State College, has a'J-1nounced.

i Last year, he continued, growersof this State earned some $9,350,000by regulating their acreage of soil-depleting crops and by carrying outsoil-building practices. Only about$+56,300 remains to be paid.

The AAA also gave North Caroli-na farmers $11,932.52, up to May31, in "grants of aid;" that is, tri-ple-superphosphate given farmers inlieu of part of their payments.

Floyd added that up to May 31,some $542,100 had bee< set aside forcounty AAA associations to defraythe cost of administering the pro-

j grhm locally.I Around 143,000 farmers signed

I work sheets for participating in thej program last year, he continued, andsome 256,000 farms are covered bywork sheets this year. At least 99per cent of the farms in the Stateare covered by work sheets thatqualify them to take part in the

! program.Floyd pointed out that Tar Heel

growers as a whole can earn con-siderably more this year that theydid in 1937 if they don't overplanttheir soil depletirfg crops and ifthey carry out all the soil buildingpractices recommended for theirfarms under the program.

Among the practices for improvingI the soil arc: terracing, applying lime

J and phosphate, roseeding postures,growing legumes, and turning ufdergreen manure crops.

mendations were made and blue-print for self feeders was furnish-ed. Some of Mr. Averts tenants hadlost hogs as a result of digestivedisorder which was apparently fromthe feeding of dishwater slops whichis not recommended.

A visit was made to the farm ofC. D. Fisher, Nashville, Boute 1where a beautiful crop of lespedeza

was seen and advice was given rel-ative to the cutting date. Hog feed-ing was also discussed with Mr. Fish-er and he plan's to feed ground corn,ground wheat, peanut meal, fish mealand minerals.

John Harris, landscape Specialist,

from State .College has made sometimely suggestion* relatives to theplanting of flowers and shrubswhere people are interested in homebeautification. Some of the sugges-tions Mr. Harris made are as fol-lows: < . > ? \

"Now is the time to begiß thinking,

-about -planting your bulbs for., this

fall. Most hardy bulbs should beplanted in late summer or early fall,and they usually require a well-drained ar'd fertile noil. As a gen-eral rule most bulbs should; baplanted approximately two to threetimes their length beneath the sur-face of the soil.

In preparing the bulb bed, well-TOtted stable manure can be usedsparingly if applied several weeksbefore the bulbs are planted. Toomuch organic matter has a tendency

to cause the bulbs to rot, especial-ly the lilies. In addition to the ma-

nure a complete fertilizer shouldbe added in the spring such as 6-8-6. This car." be applied at the rateof three pounds per on© hundredsquare feet.

Only first class bulbs should bepurchased as inferior bulbs are ex-

pensive at any price.
