UARM BRIEF?
r By J. C. McOarrltO
The most unpopular man in Wes
tern North Carolina is the weath
erman in Asheville who predicted
no rain for 7 more days. When1
pipe becomes ava^able, I believe
it would pay every farmer to in-'
stall overhead irrigation for at (
least garden and truck patches.)
Much seed has been lost but keep!
replanting. Agriculture Council
does not recommend replanting'
with hybrid corn later than this,
week. LVe a faster maturing* va-j
riety after this time. The aphids or
plant lice has been bad on l'ruit \
trees, shrubs and ro>e bushes and;
has not been controlled too easily
with black leal 4U. Recommend
making >ome ,-tr nger solution than
directions and mixing with a hea
vy solution of soap suds. County
Agent says Bordeaux Mixture with
arsenate lor th">c puV'ato bugs and
blight. Every larm needs a GOOD
spray. Soil improvement, using
good seed and better farming meth
ods on the upgrade. Control of in
sects and diseases lagging far be
hind.
Mr. Jim Farmer and family of
Wilmot have sold some 2000 quarts'
of strawberries and were forced
to turn away many customers.!
Some ordjers placed for next year.)
Even with late freeze and drought
a good source of farm income this
time of year. Says thirt^'first of
June will have strawberry plants
for sale at 1 cent each. Suggests
setting plants in corn which pro
vides shade and makes for a high
er percent living. These would bear
a crop next year. Mrs. John Cor
bin, Sylva agriculture teacher's
wife, testifies his head lettuce pro
ject is a success. States none has
been purchased from -store giving
half the quality. Think of the mon
ey it would bring to the farmers
of Jackson County by supplying
head lettuce just to the stores of
Western Carolina. Contact the
Sylva Agriculture teacher or any
of his FFA boys'or Veteran Farm
trainees on how to grow.
A larm is a business; make it
pay. First with an airport and now
first to use the livestock insemina
lion program is Johnny Watson of j
Cope Creek. This is the greatest i
opportunity user laid on our door
step for improving our dairy cat
tle. Why do we have to go to Hay
wood County for this Service?
Agriculture Council met Friday!
afternoon. This group is a failure!
if there is any farmer in Jackson
County not knowing five of the I
following people and what they do:
L. A. Amnions; W. T. Brown: John
F. Corbin; M. L. Snipes; J. C. Mc
Darris; Miss Mary Johnston; Chas.
C. Pettit; and Dennis E. Higdon. In
experience and education, these
people are qualified to solve any
farm and home problem. Make use
of them at all times
Walter Ashe, President of the
Sylva Lion's dull jind The Jack

his club will soon call on farm men
1 and women throughout Jackson
County to help put the Fair on
"Mr. Ashe, I believe all people of

make the Fair a success."

SAFETY PROGRAM
SHOWS PROGRESS IN
SAVING OF LIVES !
Raleigh, May 22,*? After nearly
11 months of operation, North Car
olina's new Highway Safety Pro
gram has shown definite signs of
progress ? progress in the saving
of human live! by preventing need
less highway accidents.
The 1947 traffic death toll of
836 persons killed was 19 per cent
lower than the 1946 toll of 1,028
killed.
And the 1948 figure through A
pril stands at 186, which is exact
ly 100 fewer deaths than the 286
recorded for the same four months'
period in 1947.
Officials of the Motor Vehicles
Department are encouraged at the
decrease in highway fatalities and
point out that if the current trend
continues, the death ligure at the
end of the year will probably be
somewhere around 600. Even that
is far too many lives lost, but it
will show definite improvement
over 1947, and will likely make
1948 the safest year on record for
North Carolina on the basis of the
number of vehicles now on the
roads.
Latest registration figures show
there are 829,850 vehicles on the
roads, while last year at the same
time there were around 56,000 less.
Officials point out that full cred
it for the reduction in highway
deaths should go to the motoring
public of North Carolina, who have
cooperated with the new Highway
Safety Program passed by the last
FARM PRODUCTION
COSTS ARE HIGH
Farm production costs reached
a new high during the past winter
and will probably continue high
through 1948, according to Char
les E. Clark, Extension farm man
agement specialist at State College.
Quoting a recent report from the
Bureau of Agricultural Bionomics,
U. S. Department of Agriculture,
I the specialist said total out-of
pocket operating expenses of far
mers have risen 9 to 25 per cent

General Assembly. The program
with its new laws calling for me
chanical inspection of vehicles,
driver re-examination, doubled
force of highway patrolmen, stif
fer penalties for certain traffic vi
olations, and a financial responsi
bility act, has tended to make the
motoring public more "safety-con
scious."
All phases of the new program
j are now in operation. Perhaps the
I "most talked-about" law passed
by the 1947 General Assembly was
the Mechanical Inspection Law,
which is proving to be a big fac
tor in the prevention of accidents
Since the law went into force
in January, 36 inspection lanes op
erating throughout the State have
inspected 171,110 vehicles.

The index of prices of all com
modities except labor used in farm
production has nearly doubled since
1939.
During the last four months of
1947, the index averaged 196 com
pared with 160 for the same period

first quarter of 1948 was 202 com
pared with 16? last year.
Farm wage rates are now more
than three times their 1935-39 le

Farm land rentals and land val

Land rentals are over three times
the pre-war level and higher than
for any previous year. Land values

In comparison, although prices
received for farm products reach

actually down to pre-war levels.

The Importance of Step/?fop Dotm
//
Here is the story of a new
principle of design that has
rocked the industry and given
Hudson unique beauty not pos
sible in any other type of car.
The recessed floor in the new Hudson
?now widely known- as the "etep
down" feature?is the talk of the auto
mobile world. And rightly so! This inter
esting development is the to a new
kind of motor-car beauty never before
obtainable.
People everywhere are attracted by
Hudson's low, streamlined silhouette and
free-flowing lines.
Only Hudson, because of its exclusive
recessed floor that you step down onto,
is able to offer streamlined, low-built
beauty without asking you to give up
interior head room.
Let's take a frank look at the motor
car designer's problem. Since streamlin
ing an automobile reduces available head
room for rear-seat passengers, to achieve
a low silhouette and maintain adequate
head room, both floor and seats must be
lowered to compensate for the lowerec
roof. The recessed floor is a necessity
But it is difficult to lower floors and
seats, because in all cars, except Hudson,
they are built on top of a frame. Only
Hudson has a new, all steel Monobilt
body-and-frame*, part of which is a
rugged base structure that permits low
ering floors and seats down within the
frame. The sketches below illustrate this
design problem and show how Hudson's
recessed floor provides a low, stream
lined silhouette, yet preserves head room.
OTHIR CARS
The car abort cannot be streamlined because the
need for bead room above the rear seat (which 4e
built on top of a frame) makes it impossible to
lower the roof.
OTHIR CARS
Of course, i$ is Possible to adopt free-flowing
Unas without recessing the floor, as sketched in
the car above, but over-all height must be raised,
and this destroys the Possibility of a low silhou
ette, which is the mark of the modern motor car.
NKW HUDSON
Here is the long, low, gracefully streamlined
Hudson?only five feet from ground to top, You
can see bow the streamlined roof comes down
sharply over the rear-seat portion of the car, as
compared to the other types of roof lines shown
in sketches to the left. But Hudson floors are
recessed down within the frame, seats are low
ered, so you get more than ample bead room.
The "step-down" principle requires years
of engineering work, the development of
new production techniques and equip
ment, and millions of dollars of highly
specialized new plant investment. Per
haps this explains why Hudson alone
offers this vital new design principle
today.
You'll probably expect the motor car
that is the talk of the nation to offer you
even more than beauty and comfort. And
it does! Your nearby Hudson dealer will
show you The Importance of "Stepping
Down"?also its results in riding and
driving ease, performance and safety.
