It Is saddening to read the an
nual accident record tor 1941
and find the appalling number of
31,500 deaths due to home acci
dents. Accidents are real ene
mies ot the home and 'most of
them are caused by thoughtless
ness and carelessness. Make your
home a safe home by taking care
of the danger posts which ca^se
' most accidents: */
1. Have you a step ladder in
good repair? /
2. Are there handrails for
all stairways with open sides?
3. Do you have /a regular
place for tools and toys when not
in use?
4. When using a sharp knife,
do you always^ cut away from
you?
5. Are poisons and medicines
clearly labeled and stored out of
reach of children?
6. Do members of your fam
ily carefully read labels on medi
cine bottles before using?
7. Are all home-owned vege
tables and meats boiled for 15
minutes before using?
8. Do you empty large re?ep
tacles of water immediately after
using them?
9. Do you immediately wipe
up water and grease spilled on
the kitchen floor?
10. Are the porch steps in
good repair?
11. Are you learning the ha
bit of .turning handles of cooking
utensils- toward the back of the
stove?
12. Is some member of your
family qualified to give First
Aid?
If you fail to answer "yes" to
all of these questions, get your
family to help you strengthen the
weak points so the enemy, "Acci
dent," cannot enter your home.

LABOR-SAVING HINTS
FOB FARMERS
Schenectady, N. Y., June 15. ?
Hints of how the farm " labor
shortage problem may be attack
ed "by using the labor you have
&b efficiently as possible" were
given by J. E. Carrigan, dean of
the College of Agriculture at the
University of Vermont, Burling
ton, in a General Electric Farm
Forum address here.
Here ' are some suggestions
Dean Carrigan has for farmers:
Watch your neighbors. Each
one of your neighbors is proba
bly doing something more effic
iently than you. ?
Plan ahead, figuring how to
get things done before necessity
compels them to be done.
Have important things to do,
ready and waiting for the next
rainy day.
Keep needed machinery and
equipment in repair.
Borrow and lend out to neigh
bors.
Exchange not only tools and
machinery, but exchange work
alio.
i U?e tractors and other power
equipment on a constant basis.
Use make-shift machinery, such
as "4oo41? but" tractors, made
from old ear*.
Arrange barns and use labor
saving dcrrioaa to cat fee time of
4ofng ehoraa aa4l other work.

5ohn T. Edwards of the Justice
Section has recently purchased a
new mowing machine. Mr. Ed
wards says that now he will be
able to secure his hay from mea
dow strips and kudzu planted by
the CCC boys on his farm several
years ago.
U? II
Complete soil conservation
plans were made last week on
the following farms: L. D. Mul
len, Zebulon, Route 2; Luther
Boldeu, Spring Hope, Route 1;
and A. P. Johnson, Louisburg.

M. H. Hunt planted 50 lbs. of
wild winter pea last November
and in spite of the late planting
and the extreme dry weather had
a fair stand. The peas are now
ready to combine and should
yield * two to three hundred
pounds of seed on the two acres.
Mr. Hunt says that he will save
the seed if he can get them com
bined, otherwise he plans to let
them reseed again next year. The
wild winter pea is similar to the
Austrian winter pea but in many
cases has given much better re
sults and consistantly yields
more seed.

In the spring of 1941 the CCC
boys from the Nashville Camp
planted kudzu on the banks of
the newly constructed Pilot to
Smithfield Highway where it cut
through the H. P. Jeans farm one
mile south of Pilot. Mr. Jeans
has cultivated the kudzu for two
seasons and this spring the sides
of the fifteen foot cut are almost
completely covered by the luxur
iant green vines. Mr. Jeans says
that he doesn't have to worry
now about the soil from his tot
ton fields washing down into the
roadside ditch, the kudzu is hold
ing it back in his fields.

Many coveys of birds and nu
merous young rabbits have been
seen recently on farms in Frank
lin County. Possibly the short
age of gun shells during the last
hunting season has had a lot to
do with this increase of wildlife
in the county.

STATE COLLEGE ANSWERS
TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS
QUESTION: How can I con
trol "I'ullet Disease," or "Blue
Comb"?
ANSWER: Withhold feed and
water from your pullets for two
hours in the morning and then
mix one pint of molasses with
each gallon of drinking water.
Let this molasses water remain
before the flock for the balance
of the day and repeat the next
day. Clean and disinfect the
houses frequently during a*n out
break and for several days after
"Blue Comb" has disappeared.
Keep mud puddles drained |nd
prevent birds from going under
buildings and shelters.
Ti? n ?
QUESTION: How can I control
the horn worm on my tobacco?
ANSWER; Extension Entomol
ogists recommend that you spray
with, arsenate of lead, using two
to four pounds of arsenate of
lead to fifty gallons of water,
which is enough spray for one
acre. The horn worm is active
in June and August and some
times it is necessary to make
two or three applications of
spray. Dust can also be used
but most growers prefer the
spray.
H? IF
QUESTION : How much salt
should I use 111 dry suiting vege
tables?
ANSWER: The N. C. Agricul
tural Experiment Station recom
I mends that you use a small
amount of salt (about 2 1-2 to
1 5 per cent by weight) for vege
tables that are readily cut or
shredded, that are high in water
content, and yet contain enough
sugar to develop a vigorous acid
fermentation, entitled "Preserva
tion of Vegetables by Salting and
Brining." (This Is free on re

SPLENDID SALE
The sale last week of the $16.-]
000.00 issue of refunding road
bonds of Franklinton Township
will have the effect of reducing
the annual interest on the out
standing bonds from 5 1-2 per
cent to less than 2 1-2 per cent,
it was announced today by John
F. Matthews, County Attorney.
The bonds were sold through
'the Local Government Commis
sion in Raleigh to Kirchofer &
Arnold, bond brokers, at an in
terest rate of 2 1-2 per cent and
a premium of $18.00. which will
make the bonds yield approxi
mately 2.48 per cent, Matthews
said.
Mr. Matthews attributed the
results of the recent offering to
the excellent record of tax col
lections during the past several
years, and to the improved retire
ment provisions of the new bonds.
The refinancing will make the
bonds mature serially with stated
amounts to be paid each year,
instead of all coming due in one
year.

:l 1-2 MILLION EXTRA FARM
WORKERS NEEDED
Schenectady, N. Y., June 16. ? ;
About 3,500,000 crop corps work
ers will be needed this year to |
help American farmers "to pro
duce the greatest crops In his-|
tory," Earl J. Cooper of Chicago,,
livestock representative of the|
Country Gentleman magazine, de
clared in a General Electric Farm
Forum address here.
Mr. Cooper said that "the
goals for 1943 have been increas
ed to a great degree, and it is
figured that at least 25 per cent
of our food this year must go for
our own fighting forces and for
Lend-Lease." He asserted each
of our fighting men consumes
5 1-2 pounds of food a day.
"It takes the food from 155
acres to feed the workers who
build one bomber and requires!
55 acres for the men who build
one medium tank," he continued.
"Workers who build a 35,000-ton
battfeship consume the food pro
ducts of 42,000 acres.
"Now add to these figures the!
millions of us who are engaged]
in the regular duties of life, and
we have a picture of what our
farmers must accomplish this
year."
Many thousands of boys from|
the cities and small towDs have
agreed to help the farmers this
summer, according to Mr. Coop
er. "This year more than one
million organized Boy Scouts will
join the United States Crop
Corps as volunteers," he said.
"In many 'sections of the coun
try, twilight armies consisting of
businessmen will join the crop
corps in the evenings."
