R,$,T Drivers Slow * In Being Examined Only 50,0000 f 185,000 So /< Far Renew Driving Licenses The R, S, T group of motorists makes up one of the largest 'yhich must stand examination for drivers license renewals, yet persons in this category have been very slow to make application for licenses, the North Carolina Department of Motor Ve hicles has reported. A glance at local telephone direct ories reveals the cause for the size of this group, the Department pointed out. The name Smith alone generally fills several pages. Persons with such popular names as Roberts, Rogers, Stephens (or Stevens), Taylor and Thomas fall within this category. Approximately 185,000 North Caro linians are included in the R-T group. Although one-third of the examining * period has passed, only 50,000 persons have stood examination. Motorists who must renew their li censes can be assured of immediate 1 attention if they go to their nearest R drivers license examiner within the I next few weeks, but if they wait till the rash begins, they are likely to have to wait for their examination. The examining period for motorists whose surnames begin with R, S, or T started oh July 1, and will continue through December SI. Farmers Urged To Use Certified Ladino Seed Tar Heel farmers were cautioned this week to use only certified seed or its equivalent in seeding Ladino clover in permanent pasture mixtures. Dr. F. J. Bell, seed specialist for the State College Extension Service, pointed out that Ladino, the new “miracle” pasture plant, cross-polli nates freely with white clover, a small strain that produces from one-third to one-half less forage than Ladino. Use of anything less than pure Ladino seed will result in inferior pastures, he said. According to Dr. Bell, wild white \ clover grows naturally and volunteers somewhat freely under stimulated fer tility on farms, along roadsides, and in lawns over most of the United States. Thus the task of producing *pure Ladino seed is difficult. In fact, says Dr. Bell, the only large areas known to be producing La dino seed free of white clover cross pollination are the States of Washing ton, Oregon, and California. There, Ladino is being grown under irriga tion in virgin desert soil where no white clover has ever been produced. Farmers in these West Coast areas have adopted strict measures to keep wild white clover out of lawns, road sides, and seed blocks, thus affording the isolation needed to produce pure Ladino seed. In fact, in some sec tions white clover is legally classified as a primary noxious weed. The State College Extension Service and the State Production and Mar keting Administration recommend the use of Ladino seed grown in Washing ton, Oregon, or California. This rec ommendation has been formally en dorsed by the North Carolina Seeds men's Association. Dry weather forced Ladino to blos som abundantly and produce a large crop of seed in some North Carolina counties this season. As a result, SNEEZING? COUGHING?

However, says Dr. BeH, acceptance by farmers of any thing less than absolutely pure Ladino seed will endanger the State’s current “Green Pastures” campaign, in which all agricultural agencies are cooperat ing.

Jones, entomologist for * the State College Extension Service, said the Piedmont and mountain coun- ‘ ties now have more cases of infesta- 1 tion than the Coastal Plain region. However, he added, farmers in all areas should be on the lookout for screwworms, check with their county ; agents regarding purchase of control materials, and take whatever remedial measures are needed. Smear 62 is the recommended ma terial to use in combatting the pests. It is made up according to formulas worked out by Federal and State en tomologists. As an example of the losses caused by screwworms, Jones said the pests recently infested a new ram on a Chatham County farm and caused such serious injury that the animal will have to be replaced.
