PAGE FOUR-B Around Chowan Farms By C. W. OVERMAN Growth Regulator lit ers—« Fount Profit: The growth regulator, Alar, waa tried on two farms in Cho wan County this year. The average yield per acre was increased 445 pounds. The sales value per acre was increased $48.30. The Alar cost per acre was $6.00. Thomas E. Corprew of Cross Roads and Foy A. Ward of Gliden each had approximately three acres of Florigiant sprayed with Alar on July 25. The plants turned a dark green color. Extensive elongation of vines in the middles was retarded. Mr. Corprew’s field was planted the week of April 27 and dug on September 11. Mr. Ward’s field was planted the week of May 11 and dug on Octohfer 1. The treated area in Mr. Corprew’s field had a low corner of about one-half acre or more damaged by summer rains. On Mr. Corprew’s field qH oficuftt to oßememiei By MARVIN BARHAM There is the story told of the village cart wright who because of age was compelled to give up his business. He was asked by a friend why he had not made more money during his long life. ‘lt is true I have not made much money.” he replied, “but I have made a lot of good carts.” It is no wonder that this cart maker enjoyed the respect of his neighbors and wielded an in fluence for good. There are people who place importance on the quality of their work, and these are known as the salt of the earth. The greatest achievement of man is found in the value of his accomplishments.

Fertilizing the lawn in October will pro mote adequate growth next spring without the exces sive vigor which usually follows early season appli cations of fertilizer of lawns. Use about 15 pounds of 10-10-10 fertilizer per 1,000 square feet of lawn. Scat ter the material uniformly by hand or with a fertil izer applicator. The best time to apply is at about the date of the average first fall frost in your area. To reduce burning, apply when the grass is dry before a rain, or irri gate to wash the fertilizer into the soil.

Other factors include driving conditions and me chanical condition of the automobile. It costs almost 50 per cent more to drive 80 mph than it does to drive 50 mph. Cost of driving 60 mph is 25 per cent higher than cost of driving 30 mph. Wet driving conditions: Slowing down under wet or snowy conditions con serves fuel. Wet pavement can reduce mileage by one mile per gallon. When parked, turn off engine. One minute of idiling uses more fuel than restarting uses. Starting and stopping: Avoid “jack rabbit” starts, sudden stopping and racing on the green light. Windy conditions: Drive slower if you’re interested in better fuel economy. Here are some sugges tions on care and mechan ical condition of your car for better fuel economy: Use good grade of gaso line recommended by the manufacturer of your auto mobile. Be sure the thermostat isn’t stuck in the open po sition. A warm - running engine is more efficient (uses less fuel) than a cold running engine. Be sure tires are inflat ed properly. Balance and align tires. Special Exlribit Staled For Fair "Man and the Arts,” a special project of the N. C.
