4 M ■g;' I t I 'a/ I ■'I '-f . i.' THE N^S^OURNAL ’- ; . ■ if':--' -■■ -i"’" THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1949 ^IScliool Opening ICalls Fop More Careful Driving Raleigh, N. C.—Readin’, ’ritin*, and ’rithmetic time is here again for North Carolina’s youngsters. “School has either started—or is about to—ev€r.\T\^ere, and once again we inust increase our vigilance while driving.” This was the warning issued today by Jeff B. Wilson, director of the Highway Safetj- Division of the North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles, which is conduct ing its September highway safety campaign on child safety in traf fic. . -School time,” said Wilson, takes the child away from his mother’s apron strings for a few hours a day and during part of that time he is a potential traffic accident victim unless we adults protect hiilL* Emphasis on child safety is par. ticularly appropriate in Septem- COIHD YOU STOP? her. according to the Department, because at no other time of the year are so many very young children exposed for the first time to the dangers of the streets. In spite of careful teaching by their parents of correct pedestrian habits, children are still imma ture in their thinking, and warn ings have very' little meaning to them, the Department said. “ We can’t over-estimate the » importance of conscientious traf fic training on the part of par ents,” Wilson said, “but we should- n’t forget that the responsibility for child safety will always lie heavier on the shoulders of the motorist than the parents.” In connection with the cam paign, Wilson reminded drivers that during the first seven mon ths of this year, 53 children were killed and 533 inyired in motor vehicle accidents. “Many of these deaths,” Wilson said, “happened because motorists forgot to expect' the^ unexpected while driving near schools, plaj’^- grounds and residential districts. When a child’s life is at stake we can’t afford tiie luxury of lax ness. 99 Moisture Factor In Corn Yields Since much of the State’s corn was blown down in recent storms, many farmers entered in the State corn contest will need to harvest their crop early to obtain an early estimate of the yield, ac cording to Dr. E. R. Collins, in charge of agronomy extension at State College. In general corn is still too wet for accurate estimates of yields to be made Dr. Collins says. How ever, he adds, yield estimates can be made early provided a mois ture determination is made on the samples weighed.

Harvey, State Coll ege Station, Raleigh. Acres entered in the State contest can be harvested early provided one df the following methods is used. (1) Dry all the corn in a com mercial dryer before weighiiig, and determine the shelling per centage and moisturey The corn should be sealed in the dryer by the county contest committee, and weighed by the committee after it is dry. (2) Weigh the corn wet. Dry 100 or more pounds to a reason.; able moisture content before de termining the shelling percentage and moisture. This will give a fac tor for correcting to shelled com with 15.5 moisture. Dr. Collins says all high yields submitted in the State contest must- be haiwested and certified bjt a county committee composed of representatives of agricultural agencies and businessmen, with an .out-of-county chairman. The acre must be measured by a county surveyor or a licensed surveyor. 0 Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Stack of Graham are doing a fine job of producing quality tqrkey meat, according to L. W. Herrick, Jr., of State College. A herd of 38 purdbred and high- grade Guernsey cows owned by L. H. McKay of Henderson Coun ty averaged 9500 pounds of milk and 426 pounds of butterfat per cow last year, says County Ageht D. W.
