Pedestrian Fatalities Eiecoming Highway Problem For State Drivers, long the principal ob ject of attention of the State High way Safety Division, are about to yield to pedestrians the dubious distinction of being highway safe ty problem No. 1 in North Caroli na. This fact cropped out in a sur vey traffic injuries and fatali ties on North Carolina streets and highways during l'J39, this survey showing that 331 pedestrians were Killed in this state last year. This was mo.e than one-third of the '.i 13 highway fatalities recorded in North Carolina in l'JIS'J. In addi tion, 1,021 pedestrians were in jured in this state during the twelve months period ending De cember 31, U39. Already, the Highway Safety Di vision records show more than a score of men, women and children have been killed this year whib v Iking, playing or working on North Carolina streets and high- v.:.ys.

The survey shows further that BeeKeeper Has Work I Bishop Penick To To Do In Mid-Winter Bees are inactive at this season of the year, but the beekeeper should not go into hibernation, says C. I.. Sams, Extension apia rist of State College. Now is a good time to clean and repair equipment not in Use, and new equipment should be secured and made ready for instalation before the spring rush, he advised. Sams does not think that the cold weather this winter will seri ously cripple the beekeeping in rinstrv in North Carolina.

On the subject of package bees, or caged swarms, the apiaiist said : "To profitably start hives from packages, they should be secured from six to eight weeks before the main honey flow begins. For the Piedmont section of the State, this would be about March 1 to 15. "Many beekeepers use package bees to strengthen weak hives, in which case they need not be bough Charlotte Rev. J. A.

C Fishermen on the North Carolina coast claimed record catches, when thousands of fish, blown from shallow creeks and sounds by a midwinter gale, were left stranded along the banks Frozen by the frigid weather the fish were perfectly preserved for all who wished to pick them up. One fisherman recorded $80 worth of trout, mulct and other fish from Pantego creek. .Another man chalked up a singular unoffi cial Tecord when he gathered up 2,000 frozen trout on the banks of the sam stream.

C With one of the first snows in years falling near Elizabeth City, it looks as though even the squirrels have been reading about the Russian Finnish war and the Finn's camo flaged uniforms. Lately a pure white squirrel was shot and placed on exhibiti at the local newspaper office. Some scientists say ihat fish cannot distinguish colors and that they will snap at a red fly as quick ly as at a green fly. But the sci entists will never be able to con vince some fishermen that fish don't know their colors. 49-Pound Rockfish Ilobucken N. C. Harmon Mayo of Hobucken cooperates with North Carolina publicists who beat the drum for year round fishing in the Tar Heel state. Last Thursday, Harmon, fishing from the Hobuck en bridge, pulled in a 49-pound rockfish on a 241pound, fresh wa ter test line.

At this time of thi year, 25 had been drinking, one ; year such bees mu had a physical defect, 2 were con fused by traffic, and one's view was obscured. The other 302 were apparently normal, and their deaths were the aftermath of the disregard of some simple everyday safety practice, either on their part or on the part of drivers. At the time they were hit: 33 were waiting for or getting off street cars or busses. 11 were coming parked cars. 5 were stepping from behind r from curb. o:i or off othi must be purchased from further South, and the price is approximately $1.00 per pound of bees. With a queen included in a three-pound package, this is about 15,000 individuals.

Here are some safe walking rules which th.' Highway Safety Division stresses: 1. Carry or wear something white at night to help drivers see you. 2. Cross only at crosswalk-, keep to the right in the cross walks. 3. Before crossing look both ways, be sure the way is clear be fore you cross. 4. Cross only on the proper signal. 5. Watch for tinning cars. 6. Never go into the roadway from between parked cars. 7.

ANSWER: There is no one best ration, for it is possible to increase the net returns from the herd by selecting each season some combi nation of feeds that will make a well balanced, efficient ration at a minimum cost. A more or less standard ration that produces good results consists of corn, tank age or fish meal, and a mineral mixture. However, substitutes that more economical can be made for some of the ingredients. The amount and kind of substitutes are given in Extension Circular No. 238, "Raising Hogs in North Carolina" and copies of this cir cular may be had free upon appli cation to the Agricultural Editor at State College. o w v. ill in r ith til :ll th" turns m the ieicct.d M to lnsr, or just before to die.

ANSWER: Spring plantings in the open depend primarily on the temperature requirements of the different crops. The hardy crops such as cabbage, kale, mustard, lettuce, parsley, spinach, onions, ;,nd the smooth-seeded garden peas will stand hard frosts and may be planted in the open six to eight weeks before danger of killing frost is over. Crops classed as hatt-harity sucn as ai-p.u.iK". u" celery, turnips, radishes, chard, cauliflower, and Irish potatoes will stand light freezes, but usually -hould not be planted until tnree or four weeks before the date of the last killing frost. All warm season crops should not be planted in til all danger of frost Ls past.
