Farmers Make Progress In Cleaaitag Up Fields Tar Heel farmers have done one of the best Jobs in years of cleaning up their old tobacco fields. Furney Todd, extension tobacco specialist at North Carolina State University, said estimates show that over 90 percent of the fields have K en cleaned up in some counties. These clean fields, he predicts, will go a long way toward reducing disease and insect losses in 1971. Growers are urged each fall to destroy their old tobacco stalks and plow up the roots Immediately after harvest. They are also urged to disk their field a second time and plant a cover crop. Research has shown that such practices will reduce the infestation of six different insect and disease organisms, thus the practices are referred to as Operation Reduce Six Pests GR-6-P}"We are still striving for 100 percent participation," Todd said. "Although it is getting late in the season, it will still pay a farmer to follow R-ft-P." Estimates by county extension agents show that about three - fourths of the tobacco fields in the state have been cleaned up so far. But some counties have reached 90 percent and over. They Include Bladen, Cumberland, Carteret, Chowan, Halifax, Pamlico, Onslow, Sampson, Waynes, Davidson, Guilford and Surry.

Speed Accounts For Half Of The Highway Accidents URALEIGH - T adlleat Menace lng on North Carolina's streets and highways this past weekend. According to Motor Vehicles Commissioner Joe W. Garrett, high speed was a known contributing factor In at least 13 fatal crashes, including one four-fatallty accident near Monroe. The four, fleeing police In a stolen car, ranged In age from 11 to 28. Nine oI those killed during the weekend were passengers who, Garrett said, "might have been In a position to save their lives by Insisting that the drivers operate their vehicles within the law." Three of the victims were pedestrians. Four persons died when drlv accounted for m< half of the 25 fat 1 Ethel White stands with John Andrews following the presentation of her 10-year service pin.

Four others were killed as a result of driving In the wrong lane. One was a victim of an Intersection crash. On a basis of past experience, the Commissioner said, it is probable that driving under the influence was also a factor in at least half of the crashes. He said that, as a result of the dramatic increase in fatalities during the past several weeks, be is Instructing the Highway Patrol to "increase its enforcement activities, with special attention being given to motorists creating hazardous driving situations." Calling attention to the fact that the last three months of the year are traditionally the most dangerous, Garrett also reminded motorists that, with the end of daylight saving time next Sunday, the volume of traffic moving after dark will increase sharply. He urged drivers to prepare themselves now to exercise extreme caution during this extra hoar of darkness. "Two weeks a»o," Garrett concluded, "we were running ^proximately 100 highway fatalities behind the number for the same period In 1969. Now we are only 60 behind. We can still end this year with fewer deaths than last year, but it Is going to require a very conclous effort on the part of the motoring public. This Department will do everything possible within Its means to save lives on the highway, BUT only the driver can get the )obdone." Johiston Gradiates SAN BERNARDINO, CALIF.StaH Sergeant James L.

Details Harris a Route •, Macon, N. C. C;^ Rod And Gun By BOD AMVNDSON Fishermen are about the only sportsmen In the world who do not adopt a more or leas standardized uniform. Golfer* wear slacks and a pullover shirt or sweater. Football players carry around aome 20 pounds of uniform and padding. Baseball and basketball players have standardised uniforms. So do hockey and polo players, and the list goes on and on. Even hunters have standardized gear, consisting of a hunting Jacket, hunting pants, a shell vest, u sports shirt and underwear suited to the time of year. Footwear consists of either field boots or hip waders, depending on whether the hunt Is for upland game or waterfowl. But with fishermen, almost anything goes, Just so it is old, well - worn, and smelly. You rarely see a new hat on a fisherman while be Is fishing. The old chapeau is usually of ancient vintage, likely made of felt, with a band tattered from hooking trout flies in It; or it may be made of straw, sweatstained, ragged, with the Inevitable flies stuck into It. Some anglers like a plain cloth cap with a bill cod an1 embroidered patch Just abotia the bill depicting a marlln or a sailfish. i The variety from the beadon down Is equally varied, and will vary with the weather or the kind of fishing engaged In. Shirts vary from loud sports Jobs to T-models or none at all. Some anglers affect a vestlike garment that has several pockets for carrying lure boxes, smokes, matches, and sometimes a can of snuff. Catalogs and sporting goods stores are full of hunting garments that cover the body from head to feet. But who ever heard of a fishing Jacket, or fishing pants? The pants fishermen wear are as varied as their upper garments, and have only one standard attribute—age. They may be shorts or Jeans, or the trousers from a worn-out business suit.

A number o7*people h»v« expressed t ' good bit of concern iboti' do • called "thermal pollution" of water used to cool condensers In power plants, both nuclear and fossil fueled. X would seem more logical to refer to this phenomenon as "thermal effect" rather than thermal pollution. Here Is an example. Lake Norman, near Charlotte, Is about the only large body of water In the state where threadfin shad can survive the winter. These shad are valuable forage fish for gameflsh species, and are stocked each year in reservoirs where natural forage fish production is low. Because of warmed water from the power plant near Lake Norman, threadflps move into the waters warmed by the plant and there they spend tfop cold winter months. They are soon followed by game fish species that continue to feed and grow, rather than becoming dormant.
