Five new hy brids were grown for seed this year and will be available for farm production in 1962, They are N. C. 20 and N. C. 3il, both whites, and N. C. 24, N. C. 96, and Dixie 82, all yellows. N. C. 36 is adapted to the moun tains in general and as early corn in other parts of the State. N. C. is adapted only to the upper mountain region where a very short season com is requir ed. Among the yellows, Dixie 82 is suited to all of the Coastal Plain and the Piedmont, and N. C. 29 and 31 are adapted to parts of the Coastal Plain and Piedmont. All of these hybrids have given good yields in experimental tests. Seed will be available through re gular channels in the areas to which the hybrids are adapted. QUESnOX; Can trees toe ar ranged to make a home cooler in summer and warmer in winter? ANSWER: Yes. John Harris, State College landscape specialist, suggests planting evergreens on the north, northeast, and north west sides of the yard, with the tree line curving to divert cold wind away from the house. Tests show windbreaks redflce fuel cost up to 23 per cent. The same trees will ^ide summer breezes com ing from the southwest in and a- round the house. For protection from the sum mer sun, plant trees that drop their foliage in wnnter on the south and west sides. In winter time the leaves will be off and you can get full braefit- of the sun. But don’t use evergreens to shade much of the house—they make the house too dark and cold in winter.

BILLY FAULK C. E. JACKSON ROSCOE CURRIE SMITH McINNISn 9 I old roads seem NEW A*. u P ICK a road that you know by heart. Not too good a road. One ^at has some bumps-some unbanked turns— a tough hill or two. Then get in touch with us, and let us put you behind the wheel of a Buick, with Dynaflow Drive.* Now you’re all set for a new experi ence. \hu’ll find out this: Those bumps seem to lose their bobble. You just take them with a smooth and level stride. Those unbanked turns don’t seem so sharp, and those hills seem almost to flatfpn out. How come? Well, a lot of things are different when you travel in a Buick. Y)u’re riding on big, soft coil springs that let every wheel dance beneath you, without passing on the jolts to you in the car. > ♦ You’re driving a car that’s plenty inches broader than it is high—a sure footed road-hugger if there ever was one. And you’re riding behind a Fireball Engine — Buick’s time-tested version of a high-compression valve-in-head— an engine that packs more power than most people ever need to use. With this power — and Dynaflow ^ Drive*—you don’t have to **ru8h” a hill at the bottom to soar serenely over the top. Y)u just feed the power as you need it —climb with a sure, steady swoop without buck hr bobble all the way up. There’s a lot more that we could tall you about a Buick. But such things as room, and comfort, the confident way it steers, and the way it shortens the miles are things you can best discover from personal experience. So why not follow the routine already suggested? Y)u supply the road—we’U supply the car — and let it speak for itself.
