. OTJJR3PA* B|TT, 36* WM Bine Ridge Parkway Bumper Strips To Be Seen On Autos With the coming of the fall season, we begin to think of lawns and lawn grasses for both temporary winter lawns and for permanent ones. In most of North Carolina the fall months are the best time of the year to build per manent lawns because the young grasses have a chance to become well established before next sum mer’s heat and dry weather. If you are interested in building a new lawn this fall ask your county agent for John Harris’ Extension Circular on “Carolina Lawns”. In our mountain areas a good lawn can be established easily and. maintained by using Kentucky j bluegrass or Merion bluegrass. In, Piedmont and eastern North Caro-j lina it is much more difficult to maintain a good lawn because of the long hot summers. There are a number of good grasses avail able for these areas including the bluegrasses, the strains of Zoysia grass, Centipede, Tall Fescue and Bermuda. The bluegrasses and Tall Fescue will remain green during the winter. Zoysia, Centipede and Bermuda should be planted in late spring, not in the fall. Roots are commdh ly used to start all three of these grasses; however, .seeds are p.v~- ailable for Centipede and Bermuda I should like to say a few words about winter lawns. Most estab lished ’ lawns in the eastern por tion of this state are of Bermuda grass, crabgrass, Dallas grass, bluegrass or a mixture of these Some numbers change... pthers don’t I; CHECK THE DIRECTORY I ] I BEFORECALLING 91 ■ Christopher Columbus discovered B h ■ will always be the same.

All except bluegrass will turn brown at the first hard frost. We are blessed with mild winters over most of the state, and it is very desirable to keep our lawns green the year around. This is possible by sowing Ital ian ryegrass in the established sod during late September "or early October. If your permanent sod is heavy it may require five pounds o fryegrass seed per 1,000 square feet pf lawn. If'the , sod is not heavy, two to three pounds per 1,000 square feet should be suffi cient. Italian ryegrass is an an ! nual and will die out next June, i By that time the permanent grass -les should take over again. Since ! bluegrass remains fairly green in winter, it is not recommended that ryegrass be planted in a good bluegrass lawn. The spring grow th of ryegrass is often very heavy and may kill out the bluegrass. In order to give a good dark green color to the ryegrass, it should be fertilized before planting. About .two pounds Os an 8-8-8 or other good garden fertilizer per 100 square feet of' lawn should give good results. TO GET A I’ARKI.NACE ASH.

A new plan adopted at their re cent meeting In Lenoir provides for yellow-poplar seedlings grown by the North Carolina Forest Ser vice to be made available free to landowners on a matching tree for tree basis up to a limit of 5,000 free trees for any individual. The state makes the yellow poplars available at $5.00 per thousand trees, delivered. There fore, anyone desiring seedlings un der the Council’s plan would be expected to provide payment to i accompany their order up to the allowable 5,000 trees per person. Any trees ordered in excess of 10,000 must be paid for by the landowner alone. Application blanks may be ob tained from District Foresters, county foresters, county farm agents, vocational agriculture tea chers, soil conservation service personnel or directly from mem bers of the Council. “Weather and other factors per mitting, we expect to see better survival from this season’s seed lings”', says Howard J. Doyle, i Statesville, Council Forester. “We i understand the stafe. has adopted grading recommendations we have ; made based on research which should give a seedling of more uniform thickness at the root col lar. Height variations in seedlings are apparently not as important as their diameters or the condi. tion of their root systems." Landowners are again warned to be extremely careful in picking h REMEMBER"! SV THE OLD TIMERS - J From Alfaretta Courtright, Mc- Donald, Kansas: Did you know that about 1910 buggies were still being sold in the middle west? { know, because a dapper young guy (in an automobile, at that) sold one to my folks. It was one-seated and my mother said doubtfully, “But,! there’s four of us.’’ y To which he answered, ’‘Bqf these girls will soon have beaus to take them,” So we rode In the bot tom under Mom’s and the hired %irl’s feet! ! We finally grew enough to drive an old white pony to the country store a*hd post office, sell the eggs and get the mail On time we starter} reading the funniea on the way home; got the lines tangled under them and cramped the wheel so much it broke down. We walked back to the store pns the postmag-, ■ter rolled another wheel down the r°ad, put it pn and started us pn pur way. He never did tell qp us, either. „ ; From William Sommervllle, Par sons, W. Va.j I remember when our neighbors grew flax for making cloth and raised geese for feathers to -fill ticks for the beds. Also when, the maple sugar orchard furnished pnost of the folks with large por tions of their sweets, while honey and cane sorghums also had their place among the articles on the food shelves. Vt that time, the common source of medicines was derived from .herbs of various kinds gathered and dried during the sunyper and fall months. * "as%^i f MEAT 1 L MEAL | W refill OOGS LOY*/ THE RICH L«fer 71 meaty mjSmg/ FLAVOR OFBflgU Spartan DOG FOOD 5. ra 25 ams 504 k Ml JOHNSON’ ft COMPANY BURNSVIILLE, N.

Freshly cutover lands or openings of one-tenth acre or more within natural woods may offer better conditions than the usual abandoned fields. North and east facing slopes should be pre ferred, Bottom land, coves and slopes should be chosen over up per slopes or ridge tops. Plantings may be made from December 1 through March 15. However, those interested in ob taining seedlings under the Coun cil’s program must have their ap plications in the State Forester’s office not later than January 1, 1957. The applications will be handled on a first come, first ser ve basis. Only 150,000 yellow-pop lars are available for the whole state. THIS WEEK’S SAFETY MESSAGE By Cameron F. Mcßae, M. D. As the opening of the hunting season draws near, let us think about the subject of accidental deaths and injuries from fire-arms Last, year 50 persons in North Carolina was accidentally killed by fire-arms; in 1954 the total was 83. Throughout the** United States last year over 2,150 such deaths occurred; over half of these took place in the home, and could be traced to carelessness in storing weapons. More than one fourth of all the victims were children under 15. Dr. Charles M. Cameron, Jr., head of the Accident Prevention Section, State Board of Health, points out that “Guns have a great attraction for children, particularly for boys. Parents sometimes forget that the child cannot tell the difference between a toy gun and the real thing”. Next week we shall list Dr. Cameron’s "ten commendments of gun safety”, THIS IS WHERE TOMORROW STARTS; r A new inner car dives vou £ a NEW KIND of FORD for 1Q *771 _ . On Wednesday, October 3rd, Ford Dealers throughout ' the United States will unveil a new kind of automobile! Cars are involved in every American’s life. News of a new kind of car is the biggest kind of news to millions of Americans. The Big New Kind of Ford is that kind of news . . ; a car totally new in design from crest to trunk lock. / This completely new automotive package will sell at the traditionally low Ford prices. This makes possible a new high standard of such honest-to goodness value that it actually increases the purchasing power pf your automobile dollar. When you see it, other cars will look out of date, because . ; ; This is Where Tomorrow Starts . . . with a Big New Kind of Ford! 1 he New Kind of Ford is the fullest, most' eloquent expression of Ford’s special per tonality-ithe youthful grace, the whiplash action—and the reputation for durability known wherever there's a road. i To all this we have added true elegance —a kind of elegance never before seen in the low-price field. 7b make a car truly elegant, you must start deep down inside. The New Inner Ford The Inner Ford—the car you cannot see— is a very remarkable structure. Its frame is actually a cradle. Side members extend almost the full bodywidth; they serve not only as supporting members but as con cealed side bumpers of immense strength. The Now Ford Body The new Ford body is a triumph of engi neering in steel. The doors close with the solid finality of a bank vault. Even the door-lock button has been moved up front—easier for you to reach, but out of the children's reach. All these features were engineered to give you a solid new kind of comfort. . . - I ■ Tho Now Ford Rido The New Kind of Ford sits six people as no other low-priced car has ever sat them BANKS-YOUNG MOTOR CO.
