Driveway Safety
1 Methods Pointed Out to
, * Reduce Accident
f Chances
v 3 “Trees, bushes, and tall crops at
' driveway entrances are a serious traf
fic hazard on farms,” says County
i Agent C, W. Overman of the State
, College Extension Service. “Too often
j* these objects make it impossible for
drivers traveling on the highway to
see farm vehicles about to enter the
road.” \
s To reduce chances for accidents,
Mr. Overman suggests that farmers
use the following method, recom
mended by the National Safety Coun
cil, in removing obstructions:
First park your car in the drive
way with the bumper 10 eet from the
l nearest edge of the pavement or
* .traveled portion of the road. Pace off
/ a distance of 700 feet (290 paces)
along the highway to the left and
place a marker at the edge o fthe
V pavement, on the same side as the
t ' drive entrance.
U Using the same procedure, set an-
I other marker 700 feet down the road
IJ in the oppisite direction and on the
■v opposite - side f the highway. If a
I heavy, slow-starting truck will be
H set 830 feet away since it will take
I longer for the truck to get out on the
I highway and get up road speed.

After the markers have been set,
go back to your car and sit in the
driver’s seat. I you can see the mark
ers, the sight distances are proper as
long as traffic going by the farm doe 3
not exceed 60 miles per hour. If the
markers cannot be seen, weeds and
othr obstructions must be cleared in
order to make the driveway safe.
When entering the highway, make
a full stop, look both ways, and turn
into the proper lane. When leaving
the highway, signal your intention
well in advance, give plenty of dis
tance, slow down gradually, and stay
in the proper lane.
NEGRO FARMER MAKES
PROGRESS IN POULTRY
C. W. Slade, Route 2, Robersonville,
is leading the way in poultry product
ion among Negro Farmers in Martn!
County, according to R. M. Edwards,
Negro county agent for the State
College Extension Service.
Slade is now constructing a modern
poultry house. It will be 20 by 40
feet in size and divided into two
sections designed to take care of 200
laying hens. The house will be °
frame constsuction with concrete floor
and movable roosting racks.
The Martin farmer started 250 sex

shire chicks on March 3. They are
developing nicely and are grazing on
oats and lespedeza rooted with Ladino
clover and orchard grass.
Slade has a contract to sell eggs to
a Robersonville hatchery and will be
the first Negro farmer in the County
to go that far in poultry production.

Don’t Neglect Them!
Nature designed the kidneys to do a
marvelous job. Their task is to keep the
1 flowing blood stream free of an excess of
toxic impurities. The act of living— life
itself —is constantly producing waste
matter the kidneys must remove from
the blood if good heath is to endure.
When the kidneys fail to function as
Nature intended, there is retention of
waste that may cause body-wide dis
tress. One may suffer nagging backache,
persistent headache, attacks of dizziness,
getting up nights, swelling, puffiness
under the eyes —feel tired, nervous, all
worn out.
Frequent, scanty or burning passages
are sometimes further evidence of kid
ney or bladder disturbance.
The recognized and proper treatment
is a diuretic medicine to help the kidneys
get rid of excess poisonous body waste.
