SECTION ONE— Toll Os Windstorms Is Almost Double Yearly Average 140 Tornadoes Reported In First Four Months Os Year Windstorms of unbelievable speed and fury so far this year have killed at least 375 persons—some 150 more than the yearly average of 222 re ported by the United States Weather Bureau over the last 36 years. In ad dition 140 tornadoes were reported in the first four months, only a few less than the avesage of 149 for that num ber of years. Property damage is estimated at $100,000,000. The year 1953 also broke another record. It concerns the National Board of Fire Underwriters, which al ready has set up more catastrophe of fices than in any one previous year to expedite the filing and payments of insurance loss claims under the ex tended coverage endorsement of fire insurance policies. The offices in Columbus, Ga., Waco, Tex., and Worcester, Mass., dealt with tornado or windstorm damage; the ones in Detroit, Mich., and Wichita, Kans., handled claims for hailstorm losses.

Well, you can’t prove it by the Nat ional Safety Council. In the 1953 edi tion of “Accident Facts,” its statisti cal yearbook, the Council is forced to beg the issue because no one knows how many miles each sex drives. The Council knows that eight out of 100 drivers involved in fatal acci dents in 1952 were women. Drivers of the fairer sex figured in 12 out of 100 motor vehicle accidents of all types. But there are not as many women drivers as men, and they drive a lot less. And since no one knows how much less, the argument must go on, and even the authoritative National Safety Council can’t settle it.

If not, why? Although not always the case, the usual amswer to that question is poor pollination. Most muscadine varie ties require pollination by a male vine ir. order to set fruit. Many of the wild muscadine vines are males and in the past have served as pollinators for the vines planted in the home gar dens. However, many wooded and brushland areas have been put into cultivation and in doßig so the male muscadines have been destroyed and now the garden varieties are not pro ducing good crops. I saw a good illustration of this last week. A large James grape which formerly produced good crops ha? only a scattering of grapes on it. That has been the story for several years.

This goes to show how impor tant' pollination is for your supper* nongs and muscadines. During the past few years several perfect flowered varieties of musca dines have been offered for sale. They were developed at the North Carolina • Lower Coastal Plain Experiment Sta tion by Charles Dearing. These varie ties will produce crops without the presence of male vines and also will take the place of male vines in pol linating other varieties. Since the male vines produce no grapes, it is a distinct advantage to use one of these , perfect flowered varieties for pol lination. Why use the old varieties at all? Because they are of better quality. The best of the perfect flow ered varieties are Burgaw, Wallace and Tarheel. ; Davis, bill. $12.95; The Chowan Her ,|ald, bill, $78.96; Edythe Nixon, labor i for Fall cleaning, $32.50; Emmaline 1 1 Riddick, labor for Fall cleaning, $26.- > 165; Shadrick Elliott, labor for clean > lug Court' House, $7.60; Edenton t >VV ' /V ' /VVWVWVVVVVVV ' /VVVVVVVVV ' / '^ VV 5 too MO Os LIQUEUR (SOUTHERN COMFORT CORP. 8 ST.
