JMF J DEATH ON THE HIGHWAY Reporting 980 deaths and approximately 10,000 injured as the result of traffic accidents in North Carolina last yeiir the Highway Safety Division this week released a horrible story of death and destruction on the streets and highways of this state during 1940. The 19-10 traffic (loath toll, highest since 19157, represented an approximate 4 per cent increase over the 94:) killed in 1 '.:?). How ever, the National Safety Coun cil's provisional report for 19 10 re veals an increase of around (! per cent in traffic accidents national ly. The 980 traffic fatalities in the state last year included 337 pedes trians, 270 persons killed in motor vehicle collisions, 161 killed in cars that ran off the roadway, 08 killed in cars that overturned on the roadway, 54 killed in collis ions with fixed objects, 35 killed in railroad crossing crashes, 20 pi .eycleists, and 6 killed in collisions between motor vehicles and animal-drawn vehicles. The 1940 accident report re vealed that the 1)80 persons killed included 78U males and 191 fe males. ' According- to last year's figures, a driver stands a better chance than u passenger, and bolh stand a better chance than a pedestrian. There were 2S8 drivers killed, 32" passengers and 340 pedestrians. Now for some facts about the 15,184 drivers involved in these accidents. A total of 13,033 of them were males, and only 1,302 were females: Nearly 5,000 of them were under 25 years of age. In all types of accidents, 7,45f drivers resided in urban areas and i T.099 in rural areas, but in fatal accidents the number of rural dri vers being involved in fatal acci dents while only 476 urban drivers were involved in these accidents. The report showed further, that 11,315 of the 15,184 drivers in volved in accidents last year lived within 25 miles of the accident lo cation, another 2,002 resided else where in the state, and 1,181 were non-residents. In the matter of driving experi ence, only 175 of the 15,184 had had less than one year's experience in driving, and approximately 10, 000 had more than five year's ex perience. More than 5,000 of them had been driving over years. faced highway, in clear weather and in broad daylight." Hocutt said last year's traffic accidents experience in this state pointed emphatically the need for education of drivers. OTWAY .Of the 806 fatal accidents in which the 980 persons were killed, ll'-l were charged to exceeding the stated speed limit, 123 to driving en the wrong side of the road, 41 to disregard of warning signs, sig nals or other traffic control devic es, 45 to ursupation of right-of-way 49 to hit-and-run drivers, 45 to skidding vehicles, 29 to improper turning, and 33 to improper pass ing. Of the 1,082 drivers involved in the 860 fatal accidents, 523 were held in violation. Out of the 1,082 vehicles involved, 783 pere passen ger ears, 105 were trucks and trailers, 13 were taxicabs, 10 yere buses, only 5 were oil transports and only three were school busses. 1,021 of the 1,082 vehicles had no apparent mechanical defects. Five hundred and ninety-three of the 866 accidents occurred in open country, 176 occurred in ur ban residential distiicts, 41 occurr ed in shopping and business dis tricts, and 8 occurred in school and playground districts. Out of the 866 fatal accidents, 641 were on straight roads, 668 on hard-surfaced roads, 700 on dry roads, 803 on roads with no appa rent defects. Saturday and Sunday ran a close race as most dangerous day of th week, Saturday accounting for 195 fatal accidents and Sundays for 194. The most dangerous hour was from 7 :00 P. M. to 8 :00 P. M. A majority of the accidents hap pen in daylight and in clear weath er. Out of the 1,082 drivers involv ed in accidents in the state last year, 117 had been drinking and 88 were obviously drunk. Fifty one of the 337 pedestrians killed had been drinking, and 32 were drunk. The gist of the 1940 accident statistics, according to Safety Di rector Ronald Hocutt, is that "the typical accident last year happened to an apparently normal, sober driver, who was driving a car witk ten I no apparent mechanical defects, on a straight, dry, level, hardsur- Bnjscrc jhmmy sxmfMt trivrwr V ' ' www, v...,.rv. $bu save all the flavor and juices Hrhen you cook with a General ElectricRange.

SMYRNA SCHOOL NEWS Grades 1-5 It was quite a thrilled group of children that gathered around their little Post Office Friday afternoon February 14th at 2:15 o'clock to get the mail. Every child receiv ed a number of valentines and what fun it was giving them out and comparing them. Later they were served with can dy, after which they began playing games. Every one was having such a good time that no one herd the bell for chapel and they would have missed the first scene of "Mamas Baby Boy", if Mr. Gas kill had not gone to their home room for them. Freshman Class The Grade Mothers of Miss Cow ard's Eighth Grade Home Room, Mrs. James C. Lewis and Mrs. Ralph Neal of Marshallberg, de lightfully surprised their adopted room with a Valentine Day Re membrance. The two girls of the Grade Mothers, Hattie Neal and Lucille Lewis, distributed first lit tle heart sprinkled cups filled with candy hearts and chocolate drops, and then followed with large indi vidual valentines with all-day suck ers attached. This is the second thoughtful re membrance of this kind from the Grade Mothers. At Christmas time chocolate fudge, in plentiful a mounts, was passed around. The class voted to write their Grade Mothers and thank them for their kindness.

He lis tened in happily aboard a home ward bound liner. As outlined, the new program will enable growers to take cotton land out of production for which they will receive Federal stamps exchangeable in retail stores for cotton goods manufactured in this cocntry. Then, too, Goodman explained, those who qualify for cotton stamps may also receive a payment for producing and conserving food supplies. A payment of $1.50 per farm garden is already allowed by the AAA in North Caroiin.i. Now an extra may be earned In growing additional garden pro duce, or planting small fruits to add to the family food supply. However, to earn this special pay ment, growers must cooperate in the cotton stamp plan. "Because of the importance of this program to the cotton farm ers of North Carolina," Goodman said, "we hope that every grower affected will make a special effort to -attend the meeting in his coun ty so as to get full details of this new plan." : ANS we rV To Timely Farm Questions Sp rft ifi y y QUESTION : What garden veg etables may be planted in March? ANSWER: Many early vege tables may be planted in March. Enough for a family of five with a surplus for canning may be had by following this scheduel: rad ishes and parseley, 50 feet of row; Bloomdale spinach, 100 feet; gar den peas, 400 feet; beets, 200 feet, carrots, 200 feet; onion sets,100 feet; Irish potatoes, 400 feet. Strawberries, dewberries, raspber ries, grapes, and fruit trees may beset out as late as March. QUESTION: Is it possible at this time to treat small grain so as to improve yields at the coming harvest? ANSWER: W. II. Rankin, N. C. State College Experiment Station agronomist, says it's hardly possi ble to overcome poor management practices at seeding time, but sup plemental treatments in the form of top dressings will aid in improv ing yields. Top dressings are re commended for small grain on all soils and conditions where (he sup ply of nitrogen is relatively low and vegetative growth inadequate for production of at least' 20 to 25 bushels of wheat and 40 to 45 bushels of oats. An application of nitrate of soda should pay well. Turkey Production Increasing Yearly The turkey industry is adding an increasing amount to the North Carolina cash farm income each year, says Roy Dearstyne, head of the N. C. State College Poultry Department. During the 1932-36 period, an average of only 252,000 turkeys were raised m this State annually. Yet in 1940, the number jumped to 329.000. On this basis, North Car olina ranks 24th among the 48 states in turkey production and third among the South Atlantic states. At the present time, gro.vers arc realizing approximately $750,000 from turkeys each year. The in dustry is located chiefly in the Coastal Plains, the south Pied mont, and the northwestern pare of the mountain section. As is true with chickens, one of the most important problems of the turkey industry is starting tile young birds right, Dearstyne said. This means that turkey poults nni'-t be handled in such a manner that they will adpust themselves tasilj to brooding conditions. At the same time, careful management and rigid sanitation can reduce mortality of the young bird.-; to the owest possible levt 1. Twenty-four hours before the loults arrive, the broodei i-houH he assembled, started, ar.d adjusted to the temperature desired or sin e fied by the manufacturer. Cei;. orally, a temperature of 90 to :t"t legrees should be maintained at the outer edge of the hover three inches from the floor for the first veek. Then this should be re duced five degrees each week foi six weeks. If a brick broo ier is used, a temperature of 70 degrees should be maintained on the floor of the house. A good rule to follow, Dearscyr.sr said, is to allow one linear fo of feeding space for cr-,. five poults up to four weeks age and two linear fett fiom '; fourth to tenth week.

BEAUFORT, N.C. f'i - I sbBIWillsW at MARTIN'S best QUESTION: What is the method of planting kudzu? ANSWER: Technicians of the Soil Conservation Service point out that the best method is to set the plants in a well-settled plant bed. Dig holes with a mattock or spade deep enough to accommo date the plants. Then place the roots against the firm side of tha hole and pack the soil tightly, leav ing the top bud level with, or slightly below, the surface of the soil. If the rows are 25 feet apart, space the plants about 3 1-2 feet apart in the row. Around 500 plants to the acre are recommended. . r .
