PAGE TWELVE Purchase Os 1953 Automobile Plates Is Stfll Lagging On Feb. 1 Motorists Will Be Arrested With 1952 Tags Sales of new license tags continued to lag with less than two weeks to go before 1962 plates become invalid, the State Department of Motor Vehicles reports this week. News of the puzzling decline of new tag sales had Motor Vehicles Com missioner L. R. Fisher worried. He reminded Tar Heel auto and truck owners that long waiting lines would he the inevitable result unless sales picked up rapidly. From the Registration Division, Di rector Foy Ingram said through Jan uary 12 only 505,892 new tags had been issued. This compares with 535,- 699 sold through the same date last year. In the Raleigh area Fisher re minded motorists that the Motor Ve hicles office will be closed Saturday, January 31, as are all state offices. Thus Friday, January 30, will be the last day new tags may be secured from the Raleigh office. Many of the department’s branch offices, which are staffed with per sonnel of the Carolina Motor Club, will be closed, too. the Commissioner stated. Auto and truck registration nor mally tops the one million mark be fore the end of January according to registration officials. If sales con tinue as slowly as they have clerks will be unable to cope with the rush on the last day or two before 1952 plates become invalid. Motorists driving with last year’s tag on February 1 will be violating the law, Commissioner Fisher declar ed. “I am appealing now to everyone who has not bought a new plate to please do so immediately.” Electric Specialist 4-H Clubs' Speaker Points Out Danger of Overloading Electric Circuits E.

Hi-Ho CRACKERS l-LBl box Utv P & Q SUPER MARKET | m, a™ STATE COLLAGE ANSWERS UMELY FARM QUESTIONS Question: Last year many of the vegetables in my garden yellowed and failed to grow properly. 1 had prev iously added plenty of organic mat ter to the soil. What was wrong? Answer: John H. Harris, horticul- \ ture specialist for the State College Extension Service, says you might J well have temporarily robbed your soil of nitrogen through the use of organic matter. Harris points out that most of thei State’s garden soils do not contain! enough organic matter, which helps to make tight soils more porous and loose, makes sandy soil hold more moisture, and adds a considerable amount of fertility. At the same time the bacteria in materials, such as stable manure, leaves, straw, garbage, old sawdust, and green cover croys, that contain organic matter use up large amounts of nitrogen while rotting. Evidence of nitrogen deficiency in] the soil is indicated by yellowing of| leaves and poor growth. When this] is observed, quickly available nitre- 1 i ' | ji t ■ X WEEK-END SPECIALS Dail’s Grocery 1 :; NORTH EDENTON \\ Y~ < > Y < j!
