Weeds Controllable
In Tobacco Beds
Proyen By Demonstra

Chowan
‘Weeds can be controlled in tobacoe
beds, according to County Agent C.
W. Overman. This was proven by four
demonstrations visited on a tour re
cently in Chowan County, with ten
growers attending. Demonstrations
visited were on the farms of Leonard
Hare, Clarence White and Gilbert
Harrell, of Route 3, Edenton and & J.
Bunch of Tyner. Plots in these beds
were treated in October. Plot No. 1
received three pounds of 16-6-2 per
square yard fertilizer and weed con
trol chemical combined, and received
no further fertilizer. (Plot No. 2 was
treated with a mixture of one pound
of Uramon and one-half pound of
Cyanamid per Square yard- Plot No.
3 was treated with one pound of
Cyanamid per square yard. Plots No.
2 and 3 received one pound of plant (
bed fertilizer per square yard aft seed
time. The untreated check plot in
each bed was fertilized with two 1
pounds of fertilizer at seeding time.
At Gilbert Harrell’s a plot was treat
ed with Dowfume gas. This plot was
given two pounds of fertilizer per
square yard at seering time.
AH of the treated plots gave good
to very good weed control. The gas
treated plot and the combination Ura
mon and Cyanamid plots appeared to
give beet weed control. Plants on the
gas treated .plot showed a very good
stand and were larger. Plants on toe
other plots were generally good. The
check plots showed more weeds and in
one case was very weedy while toe
plant stand and growth was no bet
ter.
(5. J. Bunch of Tyner stated that he
expects to treat all of his tobacco beds
for weed control from now on. Mr.
Hunch has other beds that he did not
treat and is having considerable diffi
culty with weeds.
Thousands of satisfied users stand

A MAN AND HIS PIPE
(To “Buir”)
Oh, give me my pipe
And give me a light,
To speed me on my way;
For its glow is cheer
And its warmth is hear,
When friends seem far away.
Oh, let my hands hold it,
Embrace and enfold it,
Its touch a soft caressing;
Theft all in this life,
Its toil and its strife,
(Fades in its soothing blessing.
Oh, givte me imy dreams,
And give me deep streams
Where fish are wont to bite;
Let me dream away
The whole, live-long day
And smoke my trusty pipe.
Oh, givs me my .pipe
And give ane a light,
And the warmth of its gentle glow;
Let it be my star
As I cross the .bar,
When it comes my time to go.

Deaths Boosted
During Year 1950
Death TolPof 35,000
Is Greatest
Since 1941
Automobile accident deaths and in l
juries in the nation took a sharp jump
last year over 1949, according to fig
ures released by The Travelers In
surance Companies. !
The report indicates .that the 1950,
death toll of 35,000 is the greatest
since 1941, peak year in highway and
Street deaths when 40,000 Were killed. |
The injury total soared to a new
all-time high of 1,799,800 in 1950, dis- j
placing the previous high of 1,564,000.
established in 1949. The 1941 figure
was 1,488,000.
These statistics are highlights of

series of .traffic safety booklets is
sued by The Travelers. The Hartford
insurance firm maintains an accident
statistics bureau which collects and
i analyzes data from the 48 states and.
the District of Odluinhia.
Among specific causes of deaths
and injuries, excessive speed once
again raised its record. “Speed took
13,300 lives last year. Speed caused
475,000 injuries last year. (Speed was
the dreadful mistake made by one of
every three drivers involved in last
year’s serious accidents,” says the
booklet.
Although there was only a small in
crease in toe total number of pedes
trian fatalities during 1950, there was
a sharp increase in the number of
persons killed crossing streets between

i lives of 3,740 last year, an increase
of 240 over 1949.
Last year, for toe second time since
the war, toe .percentage of 18 to 24-
year-old drivers involved in fatal ac
cidents took a downward turn. But
. the booklet points out that while driv
i ers in that age group, “make up well
under 20 per cent of toe total of all
drivers, last year (the) group was re

of 1950’s fatal accidents.”
