A warning to North Carolina
farmers to beware of the home-
cnade electric fence has been is
sued by David S. Weaver, head
of the Department of Agricultural
Engineei'in.g and Extension spec
ialist of State College. He says
that all electric fences present an
element of danger, but that the
home-made device which does not
limit the amount of current and
which does not include a fool
proof controller to interrupt the
flow of electricity, is especially
lethal.
"The recent death of a Wilson
county child who was electro
cuted by a fence on his. father’s
farm focused attention on the
electric fence now being widely
used to restrain livestock in the
State,” Prof. Weaver stated. "I
wish to reiterate the position of
my department, and that of the
entire Stiite College Extension
Service, that all electric fences
present definite safety problems,
but home-made electric fence de
vices are especially dangerous.”
The State College man said
that the Wilson county child died
as a result of coming in contact
with a hoiine-made electric fence,
which did not allow for the fence
wire to be charged intermittent
ly. and which had only a small
electric bulb to reduce the amount
of current from a 110 volt line.
Eleclric fences manufactured
l)v reliable convpaiiies restrict the
amount of current, and interrupt
;lie current at regular intervals
Ml order that a person or animal
may be freed from contact with
the charged wire, usually without
fatal damage.
"1 repeat tlie waruiii ' wliich we
liavf frequenUy is.s.icd that an
electric fence is extremely dan
gerous unless it is i roperly made,
correctly ijislalled, ami caretully
tisecl," Weaver said.

Payments to Be Made
For MulcWng Trees
North Carolina farmers will be
allowed a practice payment of
J1.50 under the 1940 agricultural
conservation program for mulch
ing their bearing orchards, ac
cording to ri. 11. Niswonger, ex-
len.vion .lortlcultnrlst at Stale
College.
Two tons of alr-driod straw or
an equivalent in mulching mater
ial, excluding l)arnyard and sta
ble manure will jli« required per
acre. The material must ho haul
ed into the orchard and may
consist of straw, hay, leaves, wood
shavings, or other organic matter
which has a good water-holding
capacity.
Payment will not he allowed if
any of the mulching material or
material produced on the orchard
land in 1940 from grasses, le
gumes. or cover crops is taken
from the land.
Niswonger explained that the
material should be thick enough
to clieck the growth of grass or
other vegetation. Likewise, it
should be applied not closer than
two feet from the trunk of the
tree and as far out as the branch
es extend.
The quantity of mulch to ap
ply to each tree at the rate of
two tons to the acre will depend
upon the size of the tree or the
spread of Sts branches. Moat
North Carolina apple orchards av
erage 50 trees to the acre.
If straw or similar material is
used, each tree will require ap
proximately one hale or 70 to
SO pounds, if the trees are of me
dium size. Small bearinfr trees
may require les.s than one bale,
and large mature trees may need
two to three bales.
Miilchiiig aids bearing fruit
trees by maintaining a supply of
moisture, preventing erosion, im
proving tlie size and color of the
fruit, and providing an abundance
of humus or organic matter for
the soil.
Teachers Cannot
Get UCC Benefit
Raleigh. — Of t/he $13,217,-
637.70 in uneni'ployment bene
fits paid toy the State Commission
through February 29. last month.
$217,187.5 6 was distrilbuted to
former North Carolina workers
through 43 other sutes in which
they were residing while drawing
benefits. Such workers establish- ’
ed wage credits while at work in
this state, later moved to another
stale, became unemployed and
filed claims and were paid bene
fits from this State.
No payments ihave iji'en made
to former residents of this State
living in five states, Maine. Ne
braska, Nevada, Utah and Wyom
ing, nor in the territories of Alas
ka and Hawaii. Just about 1,900
checks have been issued to resi
dents of the other states and Dif-
Irict of Columibia. The states ar„
now all under the Interstate A-
greement, by which the state of
residence acts as agent for the
liable state in handling claims for
compensatoin. Some of the states
were not ready to handle these
claims until last year, however.
The aAiount of benefits paid to
North Carolina residents who had
accumulated wage credits In oth
er states is not availahle now.
Soon the Unemployment Comipen-
sation Division of the Social Se
curity Board will have these fig
ures for all of the states.
During the first six months of
1939, a total of 396 persons were
killed and 3,058 injured on North
Carolina streets and highways.
The total for the last six months
of the year were 647 killed and
4,132 injured.
Raleigh.- -North Carolina teach
ers are not protected toy the State
Unemployment Compensation
Laiw and would not be eligible
for unemployment benefits during
the three or four months of
school vacations In the summer if
they were suibject to the law,
Chairman Charles G. Powell
states, replying to inquiries in
recent w'eeks.
Teachers are State employees
and as such are classed with all
other employees of the Federal,
State, county, municlpkl or other
governmental agencies, as well as
agricultural or domestic workers
and a few smaller classes of
workers who are specifically ex
empted from the provisions of the
law. Even if they were included,
they would not be eligible for
benefits during the summer va,-
cation months because of an
amendment to the State law, a-
dopted in 1939, which provides
for “seasonal” employment, and
specifies that seasonal wo.ikers
are not eligible tor benefits after
the season for their type of work
ends, but may draw benefits if
otherwise eligible, if unemployed
during the season, Mr. Powell
said.
Teachers are protected toy the
Workmen's Compensation Law
and may draw toenefits as the re
sult of loss of time from accidents
arising out of and in the course
of their work, Mr. Powell said,
adding that teachers may be
brought under the Unemployment
Compensation Law in the future,
through action of the General As
sembly.
Twenty-nine peisons were kill
ed while jaywalking in this state
last year. \

A NEGRO’S CONTRIBUTION TO
SAFETY
The day was bright and sunny,
I felt to take a drive;
To see old “Uncle Rasmus,”
He’s glad when I arrive.
I drove alon,g the highway,
Just thinking all the while;
Of happy, joyous moments,
To see his ready smile.
His hut was In the distance.
And there sat "Uncle Ras”;
Black of face and white of hair.
Watching cars that pass.
His eyes looked sad and mournful,
I wondered—"What’s so bad?”
For I could very plainly see
That he was blue and sad.
He didn’t have his happy smile,
His face was like a mold;
He didn’t have a jolly tale,
to’er this is what he told:
7 London ^
‘White folks drives they cars
’round,
Rlppin’, snortin’, tearin’ down;
Then they sorta tires o’ them.
And sells ’em into town.
'The men, they smears and slings
some paint,
_’se never seed hit fail,
Then sticks it in a parkin’ lot,
A great big sign ‘For Sale.’
‘Some ‘dapper-dandy’ comes a-
long.
And buys dis piece o’ junk;
Gits his gal and all her friends.
Dey all gets roarin’ drunk.
“Dey hits de highway open wide,
Now dis here part is sad;
A child is cornin’ home from
school
And Dandy’s brakes are bad.
I caint ferglt her pappy’s face,
De day folks up and said;
‘You’d better come along wid us,
Yer gal, we thinks she’s daid,’
“I tell you, chile, I could a
screamed.
Jest biroke me up inside;
To see his body bend and sag
And tears he couldn’ hide.
“Jest k'inda stalked along, he did.
Until he seed his chile:
Then my heart jest nearly bus’
De man went rlppin’ wil’.
“You know poor Jake was kinda
old.
His haih was turnin’ white:
Jest took his baby in his. arms,
I’se never seed the sight.
Jest mumbled as he stalked a-
long,
Pluim,b numb and broke up, too,
I wish I wuz de Pres’dent,
I know what I would do.
