Clark's Drug Store IT TELEPHONE 53 Promote Safety In Elementary Grades Shows Better Cotton In Joint Undertaking Raleigh ? A detailed program de signed especially to instill safety consciousness in the minds of ele mentary grade children has been completed by a group of teachers attending the State College summer session. The "Safety Unit" provides com prehensive methods for teaching younger children the responsibility for their own safety and the rights of others. Especially emphasized is the connection between safety and good citizenship A copy of the study outline was filed today with the State Depart ment of Public Instruction, which will keep it available for teachers desiring to examine the plan for possible ideas in teaching safety. Mrs. Bill Pleasants Flythe of Jack son, originated the unit, which was enthusiastically accepted by other teachers in the industrial arts class instructed by Miss Lila Bell of Ral eigh. The program embraces scores of devices by which young minds can be impressed vividly with the im portance of protecting themselves | fiuiu cveijllay llgZUI'ds and particu larly motor vehicles. In connection with the unit, the I teachers constructed an exhibit con taining a model village in which | traffic hazards could be interesting ly interpreted to children. They al so built a small puppet theatre and wrote a play to emphasize safety in an entertaining manner. Each of the 17 teachers working on the unit intends to adapt it to her classes when the public schools re open. They are hopeful that other teachers will become interested in the plan, which has been encourag ed by the State Division of Highway Safety. t When To Cut Lespedeza To Make The Best Hay ? Lespedeza should be cut when it attains a height of 15 inches or when it is in full bloom, whichever occurs first. The usual dates for the Korean variety is from August 1 to Septem ber 1 and fifteen days later for the other varieties. When July and Au gust are dry and September wet, the main growth of the Common, Ten nessee 78 and Kobe varieties will take place in September and it will pay to delay cutting until Octobei 1 or later. If cut early, however, lea pedeza will make enough second growth to reseed the land but it ii seldom possible to remove both ? hay crop and a seed crop the samt year.

Ferguson, extension cotton gin spec ialist at State College. Unless the farmer is careful in har vesting ? his cotton and cooperates fully with his ginner, he cannot ex pect to have the best quality in his bale. Tests have shown conclusive ly that roughly harvested cotton handled with the most elaborate and up-to-date cleaning machinery will not produce as high quality lint as can be ginned from carefully har vested cotton using only a plain front gin without cleaners and ex tractors. To insure good ginning, cotton must be dry. If the gin is not equip ped with driers, the farmer should make sure that his seed cotton is nut damp when it reaches the machin ery. "The installation of driers and conditioners at the gin will not solve the problem of rough preparation,' Ferguson stated. "Some ginners are prone to put too much faith in thfc effectiveness of their systems. So they encourage farmers to bring in cotton thai '!?" """i..".....' and causes a loss to both ginner and farmer." Ferguson pointed out that much cotton is ginned too fast. By this is meant fast feeding and not neces sarily fast saw speed. Tests have shown that reasonably high saw speed has little to do with the rough ness or smoothness of preparation; however, the rate of feed into the roll box has a highly noticeable ef feet. Cotton ginned through a tight seed roll will be worth several dol lars less per bale than that ginned through a loose roll. thenee down said branch N. 82 E. 4 poles, thence N. 27 1-2 E 16 poles, thence N.
