(Special to The Tribune) Greensboro, Aug. 20.—An outline of the accident prevention work of the Carolina Motor Club has been pre pared and published in an attractive booklet, illustrated with a chart, and is being distributed over the state by C. T. Alatthews, director of accident prevention. This is one of the recently inaugu rated fulltime departments of the qr ganization and was made possible by increased membership in the club and the steadily mounting toll of high way and traffic accidents. In the booklet Air. Alatthews point sout that oftimes pedestrians are just as much and more to blame than motorists. He also has a few words for the reck less drivers. Alore than $1,000,000 is annually spent in North Carolina for the preventtion of death by dis ease and not one cent for prevention of death by traffic accidents. Addi tional copies of the booklet nre avail able on request at the Carolina Alo tor Club, 224 East Market street, Greensboro, N. C. To play the game of tennis was once recokened a criminal offense in England. King Henry A’lll., alarmed at the neglect of archery in favor of tiie new game of “tennys,” forbade the latter to be played, and severe penalties were imposed on any one who disobeyed the command. King Henry, .however, did not feel it in cumbent on him to obey his own or der, for he built at Hampton Court a tennis court that is still in almost daily use through the summer. ♦ ******•*•**•!*•**•♦ * AGRICULTURAL COLUMN * ————— (Conducted by R.

C. i The above is an outline of the route : and the experiment stations that will ] be visited end a partial list of the dis- i ferent farms that we will visit. ] For further information call ’at my i office Saturday. Early Hay. ] One "of the most serious problems i confronting the farmer at present is j a sufficient amount of good hay for , his live stock in order to keep them i in good condition with ». minimum ] amount of grain. Abruzzi rye can be sown the first of 1 September with vetch and rye mowed , off before it comes out in heads early next spring and it will usually come again when mowed early and the second crop will come along with the vetch to mow or turn under and plant to a summer crop. Rye don't make an extra good liny but it is several weeks earlier than any of the other small grains. Fulgrum oats and red blooming crimson clover can be sown along about the middle of September and will make some real good hay provid ed the winter isn’t severe; but by the seeding of several different crops for hay and grain yon will be surer to get a good crop from some one of them. i Beardless barley and vetch or 1 white blooming crimson clover is one j eombinatiton that will produce hay or i grain ns the barley is as hardy as 1 wheat and contains more leaves to , the stem than any of tile other small ' grains, and shoul dbe Beeded the latter part of September and through Oc tober. However if you prefer using the clover to the vetch the sooner seeded the better. With a good hay of any of the above combinations of small grains and legumes farmers can’ work a crop with about a third of the grain for their work stock and keep them in good condition. In order to grow vetch successful ly it is absolutely necessary to inocu late the seed if the land has never grown vetch before, and this can eith er be done with dirt from a field that has grown vetch or with commercial inoculation. Our Major Problem. A Better Soil Fertility:—Acid Phosphate, Lime and Legumes and a genuine crop rotation are the chief factors leading to a fertile soil. A better soil fertility has, is now and will continue to be our one common major problem.
