Bicycle Accidents Fewer In Number An encouraging reduction in fatal accidents involving bicycle i riders in North Carolina has been j reported by the Highway Safety Division, which attributes the re ’ duction largely to stricter con trol and regulation of bicycle traffic in many cities in the state. The brightest spot in the whole traffic accident picture for 1941, in fact, was the large reduction | shown in fatalities and injuries ’ from motor vehicle-Wcycle colli sions. Last year, 20 bicycle riders | were killed and 208 were injured ‘ in accidents in this state, where- I as 37 were killed and 258 injured lin 1939. This was nearly a 50 ' per cent reduction in bicycle fa i talities, and the decrease was | particularly noteworthy in view of the increased use of bicycles 1 and the upward trend of all other types of traffic accidents. “Inasmuch as a, great majori ty vs the bicycles are in cities and towns, we feel that an im portant factor behind this de crease in bicycle fatalities has been the fact that many munici palities in the state have adapted ' special ordinances designed to regulate and control bicycle rid - ! ers,” said Ronald Hocutt, director of the safety division “Fourteen ! cities in the state have ocmpul j sory registration of bicycles, reg ulatory ordinances, or both, and i these have formed the basis lor an educational and enforcement program among bicycle riders m these municipalities.” Greenville, Tarboro, Wilson and Reidsville have enacted Di cycle ordinances and begun li censing bicycles withi nthe past 30 days and Elizabeth City, Shel by, Salisbury and several other cities have such measures under consideration, Hocutt reported. “I am certain that if this pro gram is consistently carried on : and expanded, the hazards creat ed by bicycle traffic will be greatly reduced,” he said. o ONIONS Ernest Best, F. C. Best, Rus-j sell May, James Rouse, and J. T. j Bailey, Greene County 4-H Club members, are planting onions as a club project this year, reports Assistant Farm Agent J. W. Grant. PUBLIC DEMAND BRINGS REISSUE OF FREE BOOK So many requests have oeen received for the big free oook, “Tobaccoland, U. S. A.,’’ offered by Chesterfield Cigarettes in a recent national newspaper adver tisement, that another million copies for immediate distribu tion are being rushed through publication. Individuals and groups will receive copies on request to Lig. gett & Myers Tobacco Company, 630 Fifth Avenue, New York, N. Y. “Tobaccoland, U.S.A.” is the name given to the group of states in which America’s fine cigarette tobaccos are grown. While tobac co is grown in 22 states of the Union, the primary cigarette to-; bacco states are Maryland, Vir ginia, North Carolina, South Car olina, Georgia, Florida, Tennes see, Kentucky, Ohio and Missouri Scores of colleges have written to praise the completeness of this story of America’s great to bacco industry, which 42 pages with ever 100 large photographic illustrations fully describes to bacco farming and cigarette man . ufucturc. Os particular interest to many readers is the long preparation of tobaccos for Chesterfield, a process lasting from two t> three years. Careful steps o f planting, growing, harvesting, curing, ageing, conditioning for correct moisture content, and blending of the various domes tic tcbaccos with imported Turk ish leaf are the groundwork, i Then comes modern fool-proof manufacture, making possible production of millions of pack- 1 ages of cigarettes per day. The Chesterfield factories at Durham, N. C., portrayed in this book, alone cover one hundred and fifty acres. Every visitor to “Tobaccoland” finds a tour) through these factories an adven ture in American manufacturing! ingenuity, and he never forgets; the bright golden color and rich fragrance of the newly-opened hogsheads of tobacco fresh from their long mellowing in storage. “Tobaccoland, U. S. A.,” is al so the story of a typical Southern tobacco-growing family, showing! how the family’s life revolves a-j round the progress of the tobac co crop from season to season The importance of the cities and i universities of America’s tobac co capital are sh'own in pictures; and text. New Campaign Released Many celebrities are again in cluded in the new Chesterfield advertising campaign, scheduled nationally in newspapers during! February and March.

J. Hamlin, Jr., assistant farm agent. Turkey Production Increasing Yearly r : The turkey industry is adding an increasing amount to the North Carolina cash farm in- 1 ..... . • ’ I come each year, says Roy Dear styne, head cf the N C. State College Poultry Department. During the 1932-36 period, at. average of anly 252,000 turkeys were raised in this State annu ally. Yet in 1940, the number I jumped to 329,000. On this basis. North Carolina ranks 24th a i mong the 48 states in turkey production and third among the South Atlantic states. At the present time, growers are realizing approximately three quarters of a million dollars irom turkeys each year. The in dustry is located chiefly in the Coastal Plains, the south Pied mont, and the northwestern part of the mountain section. As is true with chickens, one •i I the most important problems of the turkey industry is star - .. ■ng the young birds right, Dear styne said. This means that tur key poults must be handled in such a manner that they will ad just themselves easily to brooding conditions. At the same time, careful management and rigid sanitation can reduce morta'ity of the young birds to the lowest possible level. Twenty-four hours before the poults arrive, the brooder should be assembled, started, and ad justed to the temperature desired or specified by the manufacturer. Generally, a temperature of 90 to 95 degrees should be main tained at the outer edge of the hover three inches from the floor for the first week. Then this should be reduced five de grees each week for six weeks. If a brick brooder is used, a tem perature pf 70 degrees should be maintained on the floor of the house. 1 A good rule to follow, Dear styne said, is to allow one linear foot of feeding space for each five poults up to four weeks ot age and two linear feet from the fourth to the tenth week. THURSDAY FEBRUARY 27, 1941. Trial Sequences Among Greatest In Film History A court of justice, setting of many of the most dramatic scenes ever filmed, becomes il.e locale for another outstanding motion picture sequence in “Tb - Trial of Mary Dugan,” opening Thursday at the Palace Theatre. Robert Young and Loraine Day are featured in the courtroom drama. Young scored his first screen triumph in the trial scene of "The Sin of Madelon Claude:, ’’ The picture that won Helen Hayes an Academy Award. Two of Spencer Tracy's outstanding performances came in a similar setting, in “Fury” and “Boom Town,” in which he made his in spiring speech defending Clark Gable, accused of creating an oil monopoly. Likewise, “A Free Soul,” “M..- dame X” and “Blackmail” are well-remembered for their dra matic moments in front of a jury. “The Earl of Chicago” took Rob ert Montgomery before the Bri tish House cf Lords in another famous trial scene, and “Mutiny on the Bounty” began and ended with an English courtroom ses sion. o POTATOES A program for the diversion in to livestock feed of up to 12,- 500,000 bushels of 1940 crop Irish potatoes in eight Western states has been announced by the Surplus Marketing Administra tion.
