By DOS' HEROLD I
i have a few suggestions which J
M ought to cut automobile accidents I
jj this country down about 50 per I
mm fent over night?well, anyway, by I
a the middle of next week. I
I My first suggestion to all motorists I
is: Drive carefully enough for your- I

the chances are he isn't.
My own system is to expect the
B-orid's prize idiot around every next
comer.
When I turn a curve or go over
the top of a hill, I hug my side of I
road like glue and I slow down
3 bit, because I always picture a
congenital imbecile at the wheel of
, car coming at me from the other
auction?a bird who was born on
he wrong side of the road.
Slow Down a Bit
At an intersection. I always
laaine the other intersecting arry
filled with morons. And I slow
to to offset their moronity with
double dose of my own sanity.
3f course. I know this is a pretty
lical slant on my fellow motorists,
I I don't think a group which
!ed about 30.000 victims and ined
some 850.000 others last year,
rorthy of very many medals for
?ht and shining mentality.
"he present system is to let the
si fellow take care of us?and
I THE MINUTE WE GET BEHIND A
REGARD EVERY M;
look at the figures! My suggestion
is for each of us to take care of
himself and the other driver, too.
Don't you think it's a dandy plan?
If everybody agreed to this system,
we'd have twice as much motoring
carefulness as we need in
the world?instead of half enough,
as at present.
Due To Fast Driving
I've often heard it said that It
isn't fast drivers who cause accidents,
but statistics gathered by
The Travelers Insurance Company
upset this glib philosophy with
figures showing that nearly 126,000
accidents last year were the result
of exceeding speed limits. So there!
Hurry. There's the hub of this
whole accident business. Probably
nine-tenths of our automobile accidents
are caused by people trying
to save five minutes. We rush like
nad to get somewhere, and it
ioesn't amount to much when we
let there. Methods of locomotion

A little ordinal y courtesy would
Ialso help. We are usually pretty

than 325,000 of our friends with tl
motor cars in the last 15 years in h
this country, whereas our enemies f
have killed only 300,000 of us in all '
our wars to date. We'll be darned if I
that guy passes us or gets across \
the street intersection first. I'd say,
Aw, let him pass you or let him beat
you to the crossing. You don't have
to prove to him that your car has ?
the greatest pick-up in all creation,
or that you are the master
motorist of all time. A little Al- j]

us keep folks out of hospitals and

Those Vanishing Americans a
And now a word to those van- a
ishing Americans, pedestrians. They
should be careful enough for them- I
selves and the fellow in that approaching
motor car, too, for the
chances are he isn't. And they
should get up every morning resolved
to contribute five minutes a
day of their time to keeping out of
automobile accidents. Five minutes

a day will keep the ambulance a
away. The figures show that around Cl
800 persons were killed last year ir
crossing streets against the signal, c
while only around 200 were killed
crossing with the signal. That's 600 1
nersons who could have avoided
death by waiting a minute on the ri
curb. Another 3,300 could have SJ
avoided death by going to the s'
corner instead of hurrying across in ?
the middle of the block. More than
35,000 pedestrians were hit last "
year by stepping out from behind
parked care?they didn't even have c
sense enough for themselves, let ?
alone a little extra sense for the "
fellow who needn't have hit them.
I don't know exactly how many
persons were killed last year walking
along highways with traffic instead
of facing it, but I'll bet
We rush like mad to get somewhere,
and it doesn't amount to much
when we get there
plenty . . . persons who were leaving
it to the other fellow not to hit
them instead of seeing that he did
not.
A careful study of tables of last
irnar'c mntnr oar death and acci
dent causes shows that a large percentage
of them were the result of
"stupidity," under which I group
unnecessary hurry. And nearly all
of them could have been avoided if
every driver had started out every

carefully enough for himself and

In Reducing Cotton
Land of good average fertility and

tiis year under the terms of the
Dntracts signed by southern growrs.
The purpose of the reduction of
[) per cent in cotton acreage, to be
btained by renting land to the
ecretary of Agriculture, is a simiir
reduction in the production of
atton in 1934.
"Therefore, growers are not entled,
under the contract, to select
Id, worn-out land and designate it
s the rented area specified in the
ontract," says Charles A. Sheffield,
1 charge of the Cotton Adjustment
ampaign in North Carolina. "There
bould be no skipping about in the
[eld, renting one poor spot here
nd another 'galled' spot there. The
ented acres must be tillable land

While these acres of average land t
may not be planted to cotton this E
year, they may be put into food and a
feed crops for home use. Mr. Shef- I
field again stresses the fact that p
food and feed crops are one of the g
great needs of North Carolina agri- t
culture at this time, and for this t
reason a special concession was obtained
in preparing the cotton contract
so that this need might in v
part be filled.
County and community commit- p
teemen will give special attention p
to the land rented and the use to c
which this land is put, when they t
inspect the farm later for com- a
pliance with the terms of the con- 1
tract, Mr. Sheffield said. fc

Farm Questions
And Answers c

Question: Is it too late to hatch s
Red or Rock eggs for fall producers? ^
Answer: Reds and Rocks require c
a longer period to mature and it is ?
best to hatch these out during early ^
March if possible. Late-hatched
pullets of any breed will not make
as good producers as early hatched t
birds and this applies especially to c
the heavy breeds of Rock and Reds. t

Question: How can tobacco cutworms

Answer: A bait composed of 50
lounds of wheat bran and one
ound of Paris Green has given exellent
results when broadcast at
he rate of 15 to 20 pounds per
icre. The bait should be broadcast
ate in the afternoon several days
lefore the plants are set. The bran
ind poison should first be thoroughy
mixed in a tub and then be gradlally
moistened until the bran is
lamp. Just enough water is added
:o that the bran will crumble readily
ifter being squeezed in the hand.
Chis bait will be effective for several
lays but should be repeated at once
ifter a heavy rain. Do not allow
joultry in a poisoned field.
