SPEED SOMETIMES SAFER,
OUTBOARDERS CONTEND
CHICAGO (UP) The safest
speed for some boats is fast, not
slow, the Outboard Boating Club of
America contends.
That is one of the points in the
model boating code that t he club
is putting up to the legislatures of
44 states as they convene this year.
, The wake created, not the speed
of the boat, Is the determinant of
reckless driving on water, accord
ing to OBC headquarters here. A
high wake is dangerous if small
boats are near, but it Is pointed out
that the wake of boats of modern
design is minimized at higher
speeds.

"The largest crop we have to
sell in Haywood county is pas
ture's," Wayne Corpening. county
agent, said this week. "Therefore,
the amount of income which the
farmer in Haywood receives is
largely dependent upon how good
Hie pastures are," he continued.
Mr. Corpening went on to ex
plain: "GO per cent of the farm
inome off the farm in this coun
ty is derived from livestock sales
and their products. FW that reason
we cannot stress too much the im
portance of good pastures."
The county agent said: "If you
do not have Ladino Clover pas
ture either with Orchard grass or
Fescue, you are not receiving the
most you could get from your pas
ture. We have not found anything
that will compare with ladino clov
er and orchard grass or fescue yet
on the average land. There are a
few musts which must be used to
get one of these good pastures:
"1. Have land limed if it has
not been limed in the last 4 or
five years.
"2. Be sure that when renovat
ing hluegrass, white clover pas
tures that the ground is torn up
enough so that ladino clover seed
can get in the ground. Don't be
afraid you will ruin your pasture.
Use a disc harrow, tiller, or what
ever you have to do this job.
"3, Seed two pounds ladino clov
er and 12-pounds of orchard grass
or fescue to the acre.
"4. Innoculate ladino clover
seed.
"5. Fertilize with 600 to 800
pounds of 2-12-12 fertilizer or
its equivalent. (You can use phos
phate, potash and nitrogen to make
this fertilizer.)
"fi. After seeding clover drag in
with drag harrow, brush, or pre
ferably roll with a cultipacker.

TAKE IT EASY, JUDGE
SAVANNAH, Ga. (UP) "Ray
Lax. Judge." said the man as he
stepped to the front of the court.
"Oh, I'm not upset." said Judge
Emmanuel Lewis, who had had a
hard day. He was informed that
Lax was introducing himself.
"7. Seed ladino clover by March
15. Do not wait until April and
let the dry spring ruin it."
Mr. Corpening further stated:
"Let's every farmer in Haywood
county have some ladino clover
pasture this year and it will be one
of the best things that has hap
pened in increasing the income
on our farms. If you do not have
any ladino clover pasture and
don't think you can get it to grow
on a poor hill where in places
there was broom sage knee high,
and in other places nothing, be
sure and visit the Jack McCrack
en farm in Pigeon township, where
the Farm and Home field day was
held last year and we seeded ten
acres of pasture just as we have
described. It is there for you to
see if you are in doubt as to what
it will grow on your farm. Visit
some of your neighbors who have
ladino clover and see what they
think of ladino clover pastures."
