program, declares C. W. Hender

Carolina Traffic Urged
l"o Avoid Maneuver Area
. RALEIGH, Nov. 26.-Officials of
the North and South CaroUna
Highway Departments united today
in urging that all civilian traffic
avoid the 16-county area of the two
Carolinas wherein Army, maneuvers
are in progress. Delays and other
difficulties likely to be encountered
by those attempting to travel in
this area were cited as reasons for
urging that they avoid it. .
For south-bound traffic from the
east and.' north, an alternate route
is recommended as follows: U. S.
301 via Fayetteville to U. S. 76 in
South Carolina and thence along
this route via Florence and Sumter
to Columbia. Traffic going south
from the north and west is ad
vised to use N. C. and S. C 49
from Charlotte, N. C, to York, S.
C, thence on U. S. 321 to Chester
and U. S. 21 to Columbia. These
alternate routes, one to the east
and the other to the west, skirt
the maneuver are.a. North- bound
traffic should use these same
routes, dependent, of course, on
whether it is desired to . travel
northeast or northwest.
The difference in distance is
negligible, it being only about 20
miles further by the recommended
western route over the usal route
between Columbia and Charlotte,
and .xmly about 32 miles further
over the alternate Columbia-Raleigh
route than over the highways usu
ally travelled between these "two
points.
Counties in the maneuver area
are r North Carolina Stanly, Union,
Montgomery, Anson, Moore, Rich
mond, Hoke and Scotland; South
Carolina York, Chester, Fairfield,
Richland, Lancaster, Kershaw,
Chesterfield and Marlboro,. '

Timely Farm Questions
Q. What is the best green feed
for poultry in the winter?
A. Cure.dv alfalfa hay clover hay,

ed. Another satisfactory feed is

cording to poultry specialists of
the ' State college extension serv

leaf meal should not constitute
more than 10 per cent of the mash,

the leaves and the stems can be
thrown in the litter. ,
