Page Four Moser Makes Talk At Rotary Meeting Early Moser, secretary of the Wendell Chamber of Commerce, spoke to members of the Zebulon Rotary Club last Friday night, telling them something of the story of tobacco and the trend in the present selling season. Tobacco is selling faster and higher this year than ever before, Moser said. With two sets of buy ers, the Wendell market has al ready s<-id more than 5,500,000 pounds this year, he declared. Moser began his talk by telling of the white man’s first contact with tobacco when he came to the new world. From the beginning, he said, governments have load ed tobacco products with heavy taxes until today the government collects from $2,500 to $3,000 from the same- acre of tobacco that the farmer receives S6OO for growing. North Carolina markets over 700 million pounds of tobacco each year, the speaker said, stressing how important a part the weed crop plays in our economy. Through efforts of the Farm Bu reau and other farm organizations, price support legislation has been passed for the protection of the tobacco farmer. County Agent Gives Facts on Safe Lifting “Correct lifting should be prac ticed until it becomes a habit,” commented Bruce Butler, assistant Wake County Agent, today. Each year thosuands are victims of sprains, strains, hernias and other injuries caused by improp er lifting. According to the records of the National Safety Council the most common causes of lifting injuries are as follows: (1) lifting and lowering with the back muscles instead of the leg muscles; (2) in secure grip or footing and unsafe placing of hands or feet; (3) using quick, jerking, twisting or awk ward movements of the body; (4) obstructed vision, unstable loads or inadequate control; (5) insuf ficient help or failure to use me chanical aids. The body is a mechanical system of levers and hinges, activated by cables just like many machies. Nature intended each bone joint and muscle for a special purpose. When overloaded or used improp erly, injuries are invited. It is a common practice to bend at the waist when reaching down to grasp an object. Lifting in this position places a severe strain on the sensitive back and abdominal muscles. Always bend your knees and keep back straight when it be comes necessary to lift. Examine farm lifting jobs with a critical eye. Rearrange the work to elimi nate or reduce the amount of lift ing required. Explore the feasi bility of using simple and safe me chanical aids, such as rope hoists, wooden skids, and hand trucks or inexpensive conveyors.

Farmers Urged to Use Care with Ladino Seed Tar Heel farmers were caution ed this week to use only certified seed or its equivalent in seeding Ladino clover in permanent pas ture mixtures. Di F. .1. Bell, seed specialist for the State College Extension Ser vice, pointed out that Ladino, the new “miracle” pasture plant, cross-pollinates freely w r ith white clover, a small strain that produc es from one-third to one-half less forage than Ladino. Use of any thing less than pure Ladino seed will result in inferior pastures, he said. According to Dr. Bell, wild white clover grows naturally and volunteers some-what freely un der stimulated fertility on farms, along roadsides, and in lawns over most of the United States. Thus the 'task of producing pure Ladino seed is difficult. In fact, says Dr. Bell, the only large areas known to be produc ing Ladino seed free of white clov er cross-pollination are the States of Washington, Oregon, and Cali fornia. There, Ladino is being grown under irrigation in virgin desert soil where no white clover has ever been produced. Farmers in these West Coast areas have adopted strict measures to keep wild white clover out of lawns, roadsides, and seed blocks, thus affording the isolation needed to produce pure Ladino seed. In fact, in some sections white clov er is legally classified as a primary noxious weed. The State College Extension Ser vice and the State Production and Marketing Administration recom mended the use of Ladino seed grown in Washington, Oregon, or California. This recommendation has been formally endorsed by the North Carolina Seedsmen’s Asso ciation. Dr. Chas. E. Flowers Physician and Surgeon Office Phone 3311 Dr. J. F.

MASSEY'S HATCHERY The Zebulon Record This, That, and the Other (Continued from Page 1) Last week I read of a new or gan that is certainly something new. It has only two octaves and must be set on a table to be play ed. It can be plugged into any electric outlet, and is said to have a true organ tone. I told Mack Hocutt when he was tuning our old piano that the little organ was what I want; that it would be about my size musically. Mack emphasized on the piano the space of two octaves and I told him they are all I need, and there’s little use of having more octaves stretch ing out east and west and not get ting played on. Then he got in terested, too, and wants to see the tiny organ. My husband teases me about the w r ay I quit whatever I am do ing and hurry to the piano to play one stanza of some old hymn, then hurry back to work. As it is, I must go from kitchen to livingroom to strike those few notes. With the two-octave organ placed on the kitchen worktable, say between the lard jar and the mixing-bowl, I might learn to play a one-hand tune while cooking. It all sounds wonderful maybe even better than the organ would. Usually I let my husband do or not do about my birthday as he may feel inclined; but this year I have told him definitely what I want on the next anniversary a plot in our town cemetery. My grandson’s young wife declares that is the most gruesome birthday gift she ever heard of; but I have my reasons. For years we have discussed buying a lot in the cem etery, but have always let the mat ter stop there. Now that the years have added themselves to make such a larg part of a century it is high time to take action. It is not as if we did not have to die some time, and have to be buried soon afterward.

The head of the family agrees with me. There is always a deep satisfac tion in getting things done ahead of time. Not that I have any in clination to emulate Wordsworth’s young character who liked to take her little porringer and eat her supper in the graveyard: I mere ly want to know the place is paid for and waiting. I was asked last week to remind readers that it will soon be too late to root cuttings of shrubs this year. Put them down right away, if you want new bushes, using this year’s growth, which is now hardened sufficiently for making roots. This advice comes from a good garden er.
