PAGE FOUR PLAN STRICT ENFORCEMENT - TRAFFIC LAWS ' Raleigh.—More arrests and fewer warnings is going to mark the ac tivity of the State Highway Patrol in the future, especially with the number of automobile accidents in creasing all the time, Captain Charles D Farmer said recently. During the past month, the highway patrolmen stopped 10,351 drivers for various I violations and let 9,441 go with noth ing more than warnings, the report of | the patrol for September shows. But from now on there arc going to be more arrests and fewer warnings. A 1 t"inl 632 w/i r * arreted ip ScDteni ber, a larger number than usual. But Captain Farmer thinks a great many more than 632 drivers should have been arrested. Not only hive th epatrolmen been instructed to bear down harder on reckless drivers and speed fiends, but they have also been ordered to go after trucks and wagons that are not properly lighted at night. There has been an increasing number of ac- cidents -due to vehicles that have not had the proper lights, and the patrol- men are going to go after these, it Notice of Registration AJI Martin County citizens who wish to vote in the November 7 election, and whose names are not now on the regis tration books, are directed to register with their respective registrars on — Sat., Oct 28th REGISTRATION BOOKS WILL BE OPEN FOR ONE DAY ONLY The Name of Registrars and Their Districts Are As Follows i Jamesville "•» Mary Martin Williams D.

Branch Banking & Trust Company "THE SAFE EXECUTOR" * » WILLIAMSTON, N. C. Sound Banking and Trust Service for Eastern Carolina Describes Fire-Break And Its Principal Use A "fire-break" is a cleared strip thru the woods varying from 10 to 100 feet wide and is kept free from all litter by plowing or burning. These breaks are used to divide large wood ed areas or as property lines between separate farm lands. A properly built break will check a slow moving ground fire and also serves a-- a vantage point in fighting moi'c heavy fires that are fanned by a stiff wind. was said. They are also going to see that the large number of tobacco anil cotton trucks, now so prevalent at night, are properly lighted. i Patrolmen have been ■ hamper ed somewhat during the past two HMHTttff"fry itrrir - adrtitionfil duties as gasoline and oil inspectors and by having old motorcycles that are al most worn out, Captain Farmer said. But they have now gotten their new duties so systematized that they do not .take as much time as formerly. The patrolmen are now receiving 50 new motorcycles recently purchased. The new machines are much safer and faster than the old ones. As a result Captain Farmer is expecting the pa trolmen to make a much better show ing during the remainder of this month. ASSOCIATIONS TAKE NO BONDS Raleigh.—Doubt is expressed that many, if any, building and loan as sociations in North Carolina will ac cept bonds of the Home Owners Loan Corporation, created by act of Congress to relieve distressed prop erty, even though Attorney General Brummitt holds that this may be done in certain cases. Mr. Brummitt is not certain about I his ruling, as he suggests that a test ' case be brought before the North Carolina Supreme Court for its de cision. "Upon such a case, an author ative decision could be evpeditiously had an I all doubts and uncertainities resolved one way or the other " One case in which these bonds iua> 4JC ac cepted to advantage is when an as sociation takes over property and has to sell it, the bonds might be accept !ed to advantage when a borrower member is behind and a sale is im minent, and the association lias to buy i it in when no buyer appears, and the ' association may take over bonds of the corporation in exchange for the note and mortgage of the borrower. Insurance Commissioner Dan C. Honey had previously sent out a let ter in which he pointed out that the I law permits Building "and Loan As sociations to invest on United States or North Carolina bonds and bonds or notes of the Home Loan Batik, the latter by the 1933 General Assembly act, and as no others were specified, these were all. It is very rare, it is stated, that a building and loan association actually sells the home of a borrower member, even in case of long default. It is I further stated that $08,000,000 of the sßf>,ooo,oooo in mortgages on North Carolina homes, is held by building and loan associations, the bulk of the balance being held by insurance com panies. Belief is expressed that directors will not invest in the bonds of the Home Owners' Loan Corporation, even if they may legally do so. To get a test case it is believed that it will , be necessary for some association's i directors to adopt a resolution to pur chase some of the bonds, and then for a member of the same association to bring an injunction action to pre vent completion of the action. In that way it could get to the Supreme Court and that is probably the only way it could get to the tribunal for an au thorative opinion. PLANT NOW FOR SPRING PANSIES Too Many People Depend Nurseries for Stock; Not Difficult To Grow 4— ■-$ The pansy is becoming more popu lar in North Carolina flower gardens, but too many growers depend on buy ing plants from nurseries rather than producing tlieni at home. "We have found that the average gardener may grow his own plants with fair success by observing a few simple rules," says J. G. Weaver, in charge of horticultural greenhouses at State College. "The pansy grows best in cool weather and there is still time to sow seed for flowers next spring. To grow the plants success fully one must prepare the seed bed carefully. This means pulverizing the soil for about six inches'and raking awajj all rubbish. Add about one inch of well-rotted stable manure to the bed and place about one-half an inch of good gardeti soil on this. Smooth it down and soak the bed with water." • Weaver says the seed may be plant ed on this bed in rows or broadcast. It is better to drill the seed and cover shern lightly with fine sand. Keep the surface moist but not wet. This may be aided by ttie bed with [ unbleached sheeting. As the plants come through, gradually remove the shade. Never allow the beds to be come dry, as this will be fatal to jtrmvuLg strong plants. As soon as the true leaves are formed, remove the pansy plants to their permanent location. Weaver says it is not wise to transplant any more than is absolutely necessary He says also that exhibition blooms may be obtained by preparing the per manent bed rather carefully. This means preparing the growing place with the same care as was used with the seed bed. As fast as the plants bloom remove the blossoms when the petals fade. Thist will assure continuous blooming. SAYS IDLE LAND IDOES MUCH HARM Now Over Million And Half Acres Lying Idle in This State ♦ With over one and one-half million acres of cleared land now lying idle in the State any additional clearing by cutting off timber will only add to that land on which the farmer ia pay ing taxes and from which he is get ting no return. "Thia idle land is just as harmful in an economic way u idle labor," says R. W. Graeber, extension forest er at State College. "The natural erosion and leaching will cause untold losses in toil fertility and this can- THE ENTERPRISE hot be replaced in a day, a year, or a number of years." To this million and a half acres now lying out will be added thousands of other acres released from cash crop cultivation under the crop reduction program, points out Graeber and he advises farmers not to cut timber and clear the land but to plant trees on much of the land that it not now in cultivation. Many farmers are even now cutting down trees that within a few years would make valuable lumber, Graeber says. This timber, in most cases, is not of commercial size but, in a few years, would be worth considerably more as saw logs than they will bring this year as cord wood. Pines that are from 15 to 20 years olill artf Increasing in valut fronf'fwO to three dollars an acre which is enough to pay taxes and have little surplus if figured from a money sav ing standpoint. Any additional clear ing will only mean more land to wash away and the farmer will lose in both soil and timber value, says Graeber. WANTS JUST RECEIVED: CARLOAD OF wire fencing. All sizes.
