Drivers Should Use
Caution On Roads
Witb several thousand men at
work on North Carolina highways
this tail, the Highway Safety Divi
sion this week called the attention
of all Tar Heel motorists to some of
the dangers incident to highway con
struction and maintenance jobs.
The repairing of highways dam
aged by the recent floods, together
with the normal construction and
maintenance activity, will result in
an unusual volume of work on
State highways this fall, Hocutt said,
and this will mean that motorists
will need to be more alert than us
ual.
In the first place, all this highway
work will necessitate thousands of
men being at work daily on the same
highways over which hundreds of
thousands of motor vehicles will be
operating. And unless motorists em
ploy courtesy, caution and common
sense and slow down when they see
a flagman or a "Men Working" sign
some of these highway workers may
be killed or injured, the safety di
rector stated.
But highway construction and
maintenance work does not present
hazards to the workmen alone, he
pointed out, for there are certain
dangers incident to this work which
will confront the motorists. Drivers
on the road at night should be alert
for warning signs and flares mark
ing the approach to road construc
tion and repair projects, and partic

ularly the approach to temporary
wooden bridges where new bridges
are under construction or old ones
are being widened. A driver who is
going too fast and is not watching
the roadway closely could easily
smash into a barricade at such a
point and have a serious smash-up.
"The state does all it can by put
ting up warning signs and setting
out {lares for the protection not only
of its workmen but also of the trav
eling public." said Director Hocutt
"It is squarely up to the motorists of
this State to heed theae warning
devices."

Here are timely suggestions from
State College specialists for the
month of October:
A. D. Stuart, seed specialist, says
early planted small grains have a
distinct advantage over later plant
ings in the matter of yield, a fact
on which growers should capitalize.
If the wheat, oats and barley sown
are not resistant to smut, the seed
should be treated. Then, too, all seed
planted should have germination
and purit tests ^
Robert Schmidt, associate horticul
turist gjf-t he Experiment StationT re
minds growers to harvest their
sweet potatoes before the heavy
frosts which come first during the
last days of October. Careful har
vesting will prevent much bruising,
which, in turn, will reduce storage
losses. The potatoes should be graded
in the field, packed in crates or
baskets, and placed in storage with
as little handling as possible. Farm
ers who are interested in better seed
could improve their own stock by
selecting seed potatoes in the field
at digging time.
Lloyd Weeks, extension tobacco
specialist, says tobacco growers can
make substantial savings by tak
ing apart their tobacco flues and
treating them with waste motor oil.
After receiving a coat of oil, the
flues should be placed on tier poles
in the barn. Such treatment will
cause them to last three to four times
a** long.
John Arey, extension dairyman,
passes along a couple of suggestions.
First, he says dairy herds should be
culled this month. Medium to low
producing cows which paid only a
small profit on pasture this summer
will not pay when placed on high
priced winter feed. ^ g
Second, he urges farmers to at
tend county and State dairy cattle
shows this fall. The show ring, he
says, is the place where breed type
standards are fixed. It is also a splen
did place for breeders to compare
their animals and to advertise their
surplus stock.
E. C. Blair, extension agronomist,
adds a good word for winter cover
crops. "Farmers who have not seed
ed winter cover crops and annual
legumes, such as Austrian winter
peas and hairy vetch, should do so

by all means this month," he says.
"Also, if you haven't already cut
your tobacco and cotton stalks, get
the job done us soon as possible.
Stalks standing through the winter
afford an ideal hiding place for in
sect pests that will attack your crop
next year."
Paul Kime, experiment station
agronomist, advises growers to keep
their cotton picked out so as to pre
vent weather damage in the field.
Planting seed should be saved from
cotton that has had but little rain on
it.
October is a busy month for poul
trymen because the old poultry year

extension poultryman. Some of the
things the poultry growers should
do now are: Select next year's breed
