Unit ed States. Irish Potatoes North Carolina for mers report their -intentions to plant one per cent more Irish potatoes than wore piantedHast year Although it indicated that the commercial early crop will be decreased from last year by at least 5 per cent, the non-commercial farm early and late crops are expected to be increased to the extent of offsetting the smaller commercial crop This one per cent tticit-a.-M?will result in? 83.000 acres being planted as compared to 82.000 last year and 79.000 acres for the 1929-38 average I'-unt Pntutao.

THE RECORD SPEAKS . . . Motorists in Martin County barely- steered clear of the death column last week-end when two cars crashed on U. S. Highway 64 and another plowed into a parked truck on Highway 17. The drivers are still maintaining a high accident rate and property damage loss, but they have a perfect record when it comes to the death column. Last year two lives had been snuffed out on the highways up until this time. ?When human life is considered. Martin motorists haven't such a bad record so far this year, after all. But it is not to be expected that everyone will escape death - if high ;ir?rident rate is fon tinued.
