FAVORS STERNER
LAW AGAINST
DRUNKEN DRIVERS
Stronger laws against drunken
driving are being advocated by the
American Automobile Association,
following a survey which revealed
that In many states it Is possible
for a motorist convicted of driving
while drunk to escape with a fine
of as little as one cent or one* day
. In Jail. More control can be ac
quired by providing "more unl
form, adequate, reasonable and ri
gidly enforced penalties," a spokes
man of the motor organization
points out. /
Too much cannot be said regard
ing' this menace to our highways,
and the necessity of "doing some
thing" about this constant danger
which tthreatens the lives of mo
torists and those who walk near
the highway.
North Carolina's statue prescri
besbes a mlnumum penalty of $50
or a jail sentence of not less than
30 days nor more than one year,
and the revocation of permission
to drive for a period of not less
than four months. It was refrsh
ing to note that Judge W. P. Hard
ing, In the recent term of Burke
Superior court, imposed road sen
tences in his discretion on all four
of the defendants who stood con
victed of the drunken driving
charge, without allowing them to
pay fines. Such action undoubted
ly will have a wholesome effect
serving, to some degree, as a deter
rent. But uniform sternness, in
handling such cases will be neces
.lary to relieve O'fr highways iof
their constant stream of potential
murderers.
The standard penalties which the
American Automobile Association
recommends is the Uniform Mo
tor Vehicle Code as recently amen
ded by the Fourth National Con
ference on Street and Highway
Safety. For first conviction the
code prescribes a fine of not less
than $100 and not. more than
$1000, or a jail sentence of not less
than 10 days and not more than
ri" vp- r. t both. For second of
fense It prescribes a minimum man
datory jail sentence of 90 days,
with an additional fine In the dis
cretion of the court.
| The widely varying degree of
punishment which can be meted
l out in the United States to drunk
en drivers is 'shown by the AAA
survey which reveals, among other
things, that:
Penalties that may be legally im
posed for first offense convictions
range from 1 cent to-$5000.
Jail sentences provided by law
range from one day to five years
Seven states, namely, Florida,
Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota. Ne
braska, Oregon and West Virginia,
make jail sentences mandatory for
first convictions, while two states,
Kentucky and Mississippi, have no
provisions either for an optional or
a mandatory jail - sentence for
frst offenses.
Three states, New Hampshire,
Virginia, and Rhode Island, have
definitely provided by law that sen
tences for second conviction can
not be suspended.
Suspension or revocation of driv
ing permits is mandatory for first
offenses in 31 states.
Only 17 states require the posting
of financial responsibility uifin,.
conviction of this offense. ?News

Hezekiah Leads His People Back
tC>Les?n lor September 9th 2nd,
Chronicles 30. . J
Golden Text 2nd Chronicle; 30-9
Hezekiah ascended the t*1?11
when Judah was in the throes of a
spiritual depression. A young m
in his 26th year, he was thee?
son of unworthy Ahaz. Profacly
his mother Avijah atoned for the
wickedness of his father, From[ her
he douftless inherited a large
share of his good qualities^ A
eood mother," wrote George Her
bert. "is worth a hundred school
"Siah-s long reign of M years
Is of great importance^ It witaes
sed the invasion of Judah h?
sed tne inv^u ? ;. ? Mrh
nacherib's Assyrian _ army M
seized 46 cities and over
prisoners but was unable, because
of a providential affliction perhaps
a pestle, to capture Jerusalem.
But we are more particularly in
terested in Hezekiah's -religious re
forms. They are described in the
18th chapter of the second book of
Kings where we read that "he re
moved the shrines, broke the obe
lisks, and cut down the sacred
pedes; he demolished the brokize
serpent made by Moses'" And the
chapter in 2nd Chronicles before
our lesson says "he did that which
was right in the sight of the Lord."
The lesson describes the king's
invitation to all Israel and Judah
to come to the temple at Jerusa
lem to keep the passover. Heze
kiah saw that everything in both
kingdoms was sinking from bad to
worse. He therefore decided to as
semble the separated peoples in fes
tival worship of their common God.
It was a wise and generous pro
posal inspired by a gracious spirit.
Unfortunately this gesture toward
unity met with redicule. But there
was a large enough group in favor
of the plan to make possible its
successful fulfillment. Indeed
"there assembled at Jerusalem
much people to keep the feast . . .
Thus. the passion for the larger
view triumphed. '
Building 100,000
Farm Homes
Washington?First signs of a na
Mon-wide revival In home?build
ing arc seen by the construction
trade in reports which have Just
been assembled, showing that near
ly 100.000 new farm houses will be
built in the United States during
the next twelve months.
The average cost of these new
farm houses will be about $4,000
indicating a total expenditure of
$400,000,000 in farm-house con
struction, the largest total in a de
cade. More than half of this money
will come from credits made avail
able to farmers through the provi
sions of the New National Hous
ing Act.
Statistics on this particular sub
ject are being Assembled at the
Century of Progress Expositlon,..ln
Chicago, where a model farm house
erected by the "Country Home" a
national farm magazine, provides a
center for information and en
couragement of rural home build
ers. The model farm house itself
i will serve as the type of construc
t ion for new farm homes which
I are being built. Inasmuch as It
has been designed to demonstrate
I the latest and most modem ideas
ton home planning, building and
equipment tb produce a farm homl
r-i aimer comfort, convenience
of super comfort,
and practicality at low cost
The model farm house at the
World's Pair, exactly as shown
there, can be built anywhere in the
United States at a cost of approx
imately $5,0000. It contatins 13
rooms, jjnd bath, is fireproof, and
can -be constructed out of standard
materials, available anywhere.
Opinions of 75,000 farm people who
have visited it indioate that they
almost unanimously agree that it
meets the need of average rural
life.
This model farm house merits the
study of every farmer because it
utilizes an entirely new method of
construction. The wialls lof the
house are of brick, reinforced with
steel rods. But the bricks are laid
horizontally, on the ground?"pre
cast", as the architects say. This
process of, laying walls is a me
thod particularly adaptable to
farm buildings, because it not only
reduces the cost and time needed
but involves a type of work which
men of average skill and mechani
can ability can do, if properly in
structed. In this type of construc
tion, one brick does the work of
two, thereby effecting a great sav
ing in building costs. This is be
cause the brick walls, reinforced
with steel rods ohly be four inches
thick instead of the usual eight
Inches. Pull details of this new
method of construction, as well as
information regarding the financ
ing of home-building under the
National Housing Act, can be ob
tained by writing direct to the mo
del farm house Jat the World's
Pair, An appropriate agricultural
note in the completed house is the
fdkt that the paint used on the ex
terior trim is soya bean paint, made
from the soy bean, which as Henry
Ford says, is the crop which links
farming directly with industry. I

Vetch And Clover
Builds Crop Yields
Last year a piece of bottom land
owned By J. B. Echerd of Alexan
der county produced 110 bushels
of corn by actual measure though
land has been in com continuous
ly for the past 25 years.
"The answer is that, every win
ter, this soil has been covered with
a good crop of vetch and crimson
clover." explains Enos C. Blair, ex
tension agronmoist at State College
who reported the facts. "The le
gumes are planted each fall and
plowed under the following spring
in- time for the com crop to be
planted. In spite of the good yield
which Mr. Echerd has harvested
there is as yet no apparent dim
unltion in the fertility of the soil.
Prospects are good for a heavy crop
of com to be harvested from the
bottoms this season."
Another farmer In Alexander
County, John Sipe. began growing
vetch and crimson clover on a piece
of bottoms in 1920. At that time,
the land was producing an average
of'about 20 bushels of com to the
acre. Last year it produced 60 bu
shels and the crop in 1934 looks
beter than It did in 1933.
But vetch and plover are not
the only two legumes which build
soils, Mr. Blair points out. On the
farm belonging to the Barium Spr
ings Orphanage in Irdell County,
alfalfa is the principal crop. This
institution has two large fields
seded?on one field the crop is four
i years old and on the other, eight
, years old. Despite this, the alfalfa
i was free of weeds and crab grass
.due to regular cultivation with a
spring tooth harrow. The two
fields have averaged three tons of
l hay to the acre so far this season
and the land is improving in fertll
Ilty'
Alfalfa hay is selling now for
$30 a ton in North Carolina at farm
prices and the average of three
tons to the acre being harvested
means an income of $90 an acre
The maintenance cost after the I
-first planting Is practically noth
lng, Mr. Blair says.
All glass used In the manufacture
of glass eyes comes from Lauscha,
Oermany, and only three descend
ants of Ludwlg Muller-Uri know the
process by which it is made. He dis
covered the serret in 1854 and It has
been kept in the family ever since.
All crop* in Catawba County are
reported in excellent condition with |
an abundant harvest forecast.
Premium* Restricted
To Carolina Products
H?e North Carolina State Fair
will restrict Its premiums on agri
cultural products to North Carol
ina growers alone and w'.ll pay
competitors 110.500 for the agricul
tural exhibits made.
"This means that Tarheel farm
ers should plan to enter more of
their products at the Fair this
year," says Dean X. O. Schaub,
head of the extension service at
State College. "We are asking our
county farm and home agents to
aid growers in selecting and pre
paring exhibit material when pos
sible ' but we shall not be able to
aid In this work to any great ex
tent due to" emergency canning
crop.adjustment programs now un
derway. The fair last fall was an
excellent exposition but failed to
measure the agriculture of the
State because of' the few agricul
tural exhibits made. I am hopeful
that this will be remedied this fall.
The State Fair will be held dur
ing the week of October 8 to 13.
The premium list has been printed
and Is now ready for distribution.
Mr. Schaub said. Those desiring
copies of the list should make ap
plication directly to Mr. Norman
Y. Chambliss, manager, at Raleigh.
Until last fall, county home and
farm agents were able to give con
siderable time, to selecting, assem
bling and preparing farm products
"for exhibit at the annual State]
Fair. However, the cotton plow-up I
campaign, the tobacco work and
the emergency canning program
prevented the agents from taking
an active part in helping with the'
fair in 1933.
This should not deter individuals!
from selecting their choice live
stock, field crop and garden pro
ducts to be shown at the fair this
fall, said Mr. Schaub.
Trench Silo Described i
In New Bulletin Now
The tnmah silo has become one
of the most poDular and inexpen
slve tvpes of silos to store the feed
needed each winter in North Caro
lina.
During the past year hundred^ of
mimeegranhed plans for building [
trench silos have been distributed j
to interested farmers but the de- j
mand for these plans became so
heavy that an ejtfension bulletin, j
"Silage and the Trench Silo" has
been written by John A. Arey. i
dairy extension specialist, and D '
S. Weaver, agricultural engineer at1
State College, and Issued as Exten- j
sion Circular No. 2ffl.
Corn and sorvhum are the fore- 1
most advised for use as silage and
should be cut when uthey contain;
maximum feed nutrients and at the
same time sufficient moisture to
cause the silage to pack well.
The amount of silage needed on
any farm is determined by the
number of animals to be fed. The
acreage required to yroduce a given
amount of silage depends largely
largely upon the fertlliity of the
soil. Information is contained in
the bulletin on the amount of en

The trench silo is inexpensive to
donstruct and has given thousands
of cattle keeping people of North
Carolina excellent results during
past two years. It is recommended
as a type that is well adapted to
the medium or small-sized herd j
and among the advantages enum-|
crated in the bulletin are its low
cost of construction, lbw cost of ?
filling quipment, ease of construe-j
ticn, and fire and wind proof. The
most important factors to be con
sidered in locating the trench silo
are: drainage, soil, and conveni-i
ence. The location must permit'
good surface drainage.
