THE RECORD SPEAKS . . . For the first tunc this year, Martin County motorists travel ed around an entire week with out an accident. If it is possible to operate cars and other motor vehicles an entire week without an accident on a county highway, it would seem that much if not all of the maiming, killing and damaging of property in other periods could be eliminated. Certainly, the accomplishments <>f the past week are to be desir ed The following tabulations of fer a comparison of the accident trend: first, by corresponding weeks in this year and last and for each year to the present time. 20th Week Comparison Accidents Inj'd Killed Dam'ge 1 <>41 0 0 0 $ 000 1940 1 0 0 $ 50 Comparison To Date 1941 38 23 2 $2646 1940 38 26 1 $4665 Necessary Steps To Revive'Sick'Trees ! Home owners throughout North ' Carolina have trees in their lawns | or elsewhere that have a sickly ap pearaiu*-. They may be dying hack at the top. or sparsely leafed. They wonder what is the trouble. H. W. Graeber, extension forester of N. C. State College, says "sick" Hiade trees usually need fertilizer, water ali'd a protective leaf mulch j He suggests 1 A first-year fertilizer treatment of cotton seed meal, sulphate of am monia and bone meul. applied on ?naked ground or watered-in well after the application. In succeeding years tin- fertilizer treatment should he mostly sulphate of ammonia. 2 Water the trees regularly dur ing the growing season from early spring to mid-summer. Watering the surface is not enough, in fact it is useless and wasteful. Knough water should be applied to wcl the soil (thoroughly for a foot in depth. Al lowing a small stream to run all night and changing the location on successive night is an excellent meth- I od. 3 Restore Nature's protective J mulch by covering the surface with; a "blanket" of leaves, woods mulch, or other decaying organic matter to a depth of several inches, and for a distance of at least two-thirds of the branch-spread of the tree. To keep the material from blowing or washing away, a 12-inch light wire mesh fence surrounding the mulched area will provide a good guard Graeber said that detailed inform ation on care of ornamental trees and shrubs can be obtained by writing to the Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Department of Agriculture, for Far mers' Bulletin No 1826. Surplus At the beginning of 1941, there I were two hales of cotton in the world , for every bale likely to be used dur . ing the year, estimates the U. S. i Department of Agriculture. June 1 Final Date To Enroll In Campaign With 60.000 or more farm families already enrolled. John W Good- i man. assistant director of Extension at State College, says a concerted | drive will be made to enlist another 40.000 in the "Food and Feed for j Family Living" campaign before the j June 1 deadline for enrollments. Goodman is chairman of the State J Agricultural Workers' Council, I which links all agencies in the cam- i paign. "We are very gratified over the i I response to the campaign to enlist] the support of farm families in North ] I Carolina in the 'Food for Defense' I | program," Goodman said. "We real | jizo that the campaign was started] comparatively late, and that some j families have the mistaken idea that | there is a compulsory angle to the campaign. "When a farmer or his wife signs one of the 'Food and Feed for Family j Living' cards, there is nothing bind- i ing on them except their conscience. | The cards merely state that the farm ' family wishes to voluntarily have a part in making for a stronger, health ier rural North Carolina in 1941." County Agricultural Workers' i Councils are active in every one of North Carolina's 100 counties in en listing the support of farm families | Each county has been divided into communities, and one member of the county council is responsible for contacting as many families as pos- j sible in his or her assigned commun i ity Governor Broughton will sign a I certificate of recognition for every family which grows and conserves at least 75 per cent of its food and fe< d requirements for the year. Spec ial certificates will be awarded to landlords who induce all of their tenants to produce and save 75 per cent of their food and feed needs. The certificates will be awarded at County Achievement Days to be held next winter. Infant Hies At Home Of I'urcnts Mear Here Monday Billy Wynn, four months old, died at the home of his parents.
