Question: What emergency grazing crops cau be planted to supplement pastures damaged by the drought? Answer: Sudan grass w worthy of first rank as a temporary graz ing and hay crop, says John A.' Arey, Extension dairyman of N. C. State College. Good grazing can be secured from Sudan grass within 4 0 to 50 days after seed ing. When cut just as the hCads begin to form, S'ldan grass makes a very good hay. About 35 to 40 pounds of seed should 'be sown per acre in a well-prepared seed bed. The c;op should be fertilized with 300 pounds per acre of a high grade complete fertilizer at time of seeding, and top dressed with 100 to 150 pounds of nitrate of soda .when the grass Is about three inches high.

It is part of a bill stiH before the Senate, pending coiq,- pletlon of action on a rider to permit the government to ope rate strike-bound plants. i The draft revision was sponsored by Senator Chan Gurney, (D), 8.-D., and approved by acting selective service director General Lewis B. Hershey. Senator Lister Hill, (D), Ala., floor pilot of the mea,sure, srld there was “no" doubt’ that Pres ident Roosevelt would Issue ,a blanket deferment for men in the 28-to-35 age bracket, but he i conceded in response to Inquiries | that the bill makes such defer- ' ment directionary, not manda- i tory. ■ j Tne bill ^ authorizes the first blanket defi^ment as of July 1, 1941—covering all pel'sons who have reached their 28th birthday on that date. It also authorizes similar deferment as if July 1 in each subsequent year, . covering those men who have celebrated their 28th birthday during the preceding year. Senator Alva B. Adams, (D), Colo., said the bill would grant the Chief Executive “broad pow ers” over the lives of millions of men, and would radically alter the charpctef 6f the selective service act. He emphasized that the original act definitely fixed the selective service age range, while the ■ pending amendment would leave men between-28 and 35 uncertain.” _ “If tha=e men are not going into service,*' he said, "Congress should ssy so and not the Pres ident.” cent. "While I am not prepared, on teresting to speculate as to the uroba'ble effect such as restric tion might have on our traffic accident toll,” Hociitt said. “Our records show that 109 of the 4 49 persons killed In traffic accidents in North Carolina the fir.='t five months of this year were killed in Sunday accidents. In oth er words,.one out of every four traffic fatalities in this state oc cur on the ‘Sabbath. Thus, if our motorists were compelled to keep their cars at home on “gasless Sundays.” we might reasonably expect a substantial reduction in traffic deaths' as a result.’’ The safety director said the Sunday traffic toll this year to taled 15 in January, 20 in Febru ary, 30 in March, 16 in April and 29 in May. The heaviest toll for any one day this year was on Sunday,- March 16, when 11 per sons were killed in traffic acci dents in the state. Saturdays were even more dangerous than Sun days, the five-months toll for Saturdays being 110 lives. Thus, 229 of the 449 persons killed the first five months of this year were kill 'd on Shturdays and Sundays. This was 51 per cent of the total. Think of it, we could cut our traffic accident toll in half by having gasless week ends,’’ Ho- cutt declared. "Of course. I'am not sure that such action will ever be taken or need to be taken in, this country. Seriously, though, a substantial reduction In traffic fatalities could be effected withi out this prohibitive action. If our motorists were willing, they could have their cake and eat it, too. That*, is to aav: they could con tinue to ride and still not kill or be killed.
