Census of Manufac 1 tures supplies what is probably i the most authoritative index of an industry's place in the national economy. Preliminary reports for 1M7, the first business census since 1939, are now being released by the Government. They show that the brewing industry makes a valuable contribution to the na tion's welfare and economy. The Government report shows that in 1947, the brewing indus try paid out $292,000,000 in both wages and salaries, spent $609,000,000 for materials, sup plies, containers, fuel and contract work, and another $111,000,000 for new plants and equipment ? making a total of approximately $912,000,000. The brewing industry em ployed 82,524 persons ? 63,668 of them being engaged in production , and other related operations. This latter group averaged $3,300 per year per worker ? one of the high est wage averages to be found in any American industry. For three centuries beer and ale have contributed to modera tion and temperance in America. The Census report confirms that economically, too, beer's jegal sale and manufacture is an Amer ican asset worth preserving. UNITED STATES BREWEBS FOUNDATION INSURANCE BLDG., RALEIGH, N. C.

Among the chief causes of the accidents Mr. Ellis listed the following: Falls, machines, animals, auto and truck collis ions, handling objects, hand tools, stepping on or striking against objects, falling and fly ing objects, and burns or shocks. These findings are based on an an analysis of nearly 2,000 accidents reported in three enu meratlve surveys made by the BAE in 1947 and 1948. Seventy-two per cent of all accidents to farm people occur red on the farm? 16 per cent In the farm home and 56 per cent elsewhere on the farm. Eleven per cent occurred on roads or streets off the farm. The other 17 per cent Included industrial accidents suffered by (arm people who were working in factories and accidents of children In games at school. Fifty-four per cent of injur ies were sustained while the victim was engaged in farm work. Farm accidents reached a peak in September, when both farm work accidents and recre ational accidents were sharply up. Males had an accident rate , over three times as great as females, and males in the age J group 25 to 44 years had the highest rate. Ellis advises all farmers to i check their homes, farm build- j lngs and surroundings and re- | move all accident hazards pos sible. He also suggests "taking time instead of chances."

Cul tivation may be discontinued after the second or third grow ing season. fl Q. Last year we lost most of our Irish potato crop because of little worms which went through the potatoes after they were dug. We hate to dig again this year not knowing any way to prevent this. I A. The little worms probably . are potato tubermoths. The adults lay their eggs usually on the exposed tubers either prior to or during harvest, when the potatoes are left exposed over night. During growth, the po tatoes should be kept well culti vated and deeply hilled so that no potatoes are exposed for the adults to attack. At harvest time, to prevent the caterpillar from migrating from the wilting vines to the tubers, Infested vines should be cut or burned or removed from the field a few days before digging. The vines should NEVER be piled over dug potatoes. The potatoes should never be left exposed to the egg-laying moths during late afternoon or overnight, as this la the time when the adults are most active. When potatoes are dug, they should be removed from the field immediately to storage. Harvest should be very thorough and all culls should be destroy ed. Tubers Infested in storage may be saved by fumigating with Methyl Bromide. See your county agent for details. Temperatures which kill living cells are often only a few de grees above those at which they are accustomed to living. AUCTION SALE Saturday, July 30, 2 p. m.
