Churches Observe
Day of Compassion
Charlotte ? More than nineteen
hundred Methodist churches in North
Carolina will participate in Metho
dism's nation-wide observance of!
Day of Compassion on March 2nd
Special sermons and services will
emphasize the extraordinary world
situation. It is expected that North
Carolina churches will contribute
$41,000 on this day as their share in
the million dollar campaign to re
lieve human suffering in war-strick
en areas and for special work at
home.
One-half of the amount will be
used for overseas relief in Europe
and China. Assistance to the Mother
Church in Britain will take one
quarter of a million dollars. The re
maining fourth-million will be used
in meeting the religious needs of
youth in training under the Select
ive Service Act.
The million dollar emergency
fund is being raised under the lead
ership of the Council of Bishops, and
its use will be carefully guarded by
the Emergency Commission, of which
Bishop Edwin Holt Hughes. Wash
ington, D. C., is chairman. Plans
have just been completed for Bishop
Hughes to speak at Centenary
Methodist Church, Winston-Salem,
on the Day of Compassion.
Favorable reports are being re
ceived indicating plans are already
underway for this observance in
many" North Carolina -churches, ac-1
cording to a statement by Bishop
Clare Purcell, Charlotte, in charge
of Methodism in this State.

Turkey Production
Increasing Yearly
The turkey industry is adding an
increasing amount to the North Car
olina cash farm income each year,
says Roy Dearstyne. head of the N.
C. State College Poultry Depart
ment.
During the 1932-36 period, an av
erage of only 252,000 turkeys were
laised in this State annually. Yet
in 1940, the number jumped to 329.
000. On this basis. North Carolina
janks 24th among the 48 states in
turkey production and third among
the South Atlantic states.
At the present time, growers are
realizing approximately three-quar
ters of a million dollars from tur
keys each year. The industry is lo
cated cheifly in the Coastal Plains,
the south Pit'dmont. and the north
western part of the mountain sec
tion.
As is true with chickens, one of
the most important problems of the
turkey industry is starting the young
-right, -Pearsty-no- said. This
means that turkey poults must be
handled in such a manner that they
will adjust themselves easily to
brooding conditions. ,At, the same
time, careful management and rigid
sanitation can reduce njortahty of
the young birds to the lowest pos
sible level.
Twenty-four hours before the
poults arrive, the brooder should be
assembled, started, and adjusted to
the temperature desired or specified
by the manufacturer. Generally, a
temperature of 90 to 95 degrees
should be maintained at the outer

Crop Rotation Helps
Curl) Leaf Diseases
At the start of another tobacco
growing season in North Carolina.
1,. T. Weeks, Extension specialist of
N. C. State College, calls to the at
tention of farmers the results of ex
periments and demonstrations prov
ing the value of crop rotations in
controlling disease outbreaks.
"Rotating crops is probably the
oldest way of trying To keep down
tobacco diseases, and certainly it is
the most common," Weeks said.
"However, really effective disease
control can be accomplished only by
intelligent rotation adjusted to. spe
cific disease-control problems. In
other words, just hit-or miss rota
tion for any and all tobacco trou
bles won't do. Different diseases
call for different crop rotations."
The specialist cited as an exam
ple that hare fallowing is no help at
all in clearing up s???l infestation
with Granville wilt. To control that
disease the land, after a crop of to
bacco. needs to be cropped to corn,
velvet beans or soybeans, cow peas,
small grain, or grasses.

1 edge of the hover three inches from
the floor for the first week. Then
this should be reduced five degrees
each week for six weeks. If a brick
brooder is used, a temperature of 70
degrees should be maintained on
tlie floor of the house.
A good rule to follow, Dearstyne
said, is to allow one linear foot of
feeding space for each five poults
up to four weeks of age and two lin
ear' loot from the fourth to the tenth
week. ~ "
Bicycle Accidents
J
Decline In State
An encouraging reduction in fa
tal accidents involving bicycle riders
in North Carolina has been reported
by the Highway Safety Division,
which attributes the reduction large
ly to stricter control and regulation
of bicycle traffic in many cities in
the state.
The brightest spot in the whole
traffic accident picture for 1940, in
fact, was the large reduction shown
in fatalities and injuries from mo
tor vehicle-bicycle collisions. Last
year. 20 bicycle riders were killed
and 208 were injured in accidents in
this State, whereas 37 were killed
and 258 injured in 1939. This was
nearly a 50 per cent reduction in bi
cycle fatalities, and the decrease was
particularly noteworthy in view of
the increased use of bicycles and the
upward trend of all other types of
traffic accidents.
"Inasmuch as a great majority of
the bicycles are in cities and towns,
we feel that an important factor be
hind this decrease in bicycle fatali
ties has been the fact that many mu
nicipalities in the State have adopt
ed special ordinances designed to
regulate and control bicycle riders."
said Ronald Hocutt. director of the
safety division. "Fourteen cities in
the State have compulsory registra
tion of bicycles, regulatory ordi
nances. or both, and these have form
ed the bavi- tor an ? due.itmnal and
enforcement program among biey
Lie riders in these municipalities "
Greenville, Tarbpro, Wilson and
Reidsville TTave eilacted bteycle or
dinances and begun licensing bicy
cles within the past 30 days, and
Elizacbth City. Shelby, Salisbury and
several other cities have such meas
ures under consideration, llocutt re
potted
"I am certain that if this program
is consistently carried on and ex
panded. the hazards created by hi
cycte traffic will bo greatly reduc
ed." he said.
lure reported that tests tm Granville
wilt, at Creedmoor in Granville
County showed the value of the to
bacco crop in various rotations rang
ed from nothing with continuous to
bacco, to $120 an acre for tobacco
after redtop and $129 for tobacco af
ter corn
"On the />ther hand." Weeks said,
"hare fallow nig is very effective with ,
loot knot disease. Soil infested with
root knot is reduced most rapidly
with such crops as peanuts, velvet
beans, small grains, c r'otalaria, and
native weeds.
"The practical application of those1
findings pre obvious.
