Appeal Made To
Drivers Who Fail
To Dim Headlights
i
Raleigh, April 10.—Bombarded
with requests to “do something”
about the menace of glaring head
lights on the •highways of this
State, Ronald Hocutt, Direct:* of
the Highway Safety Division,
this week appealed to enforce
ment officials of the state and in
dividual drivers to cooperate in
stamping out this widespread
traffic hazard.
“Glaring headlights are a
menace to the safety qf all who
ride and walk upon the high
ways at night,” said Hocutt.
“The driver who is blinded by
the headlights of an approaching,
car may sideswipe that car, run 1
off the road, strike a bridge abut- j
ment, or run down a pedestrian
whom 'he cannot see. And the
really serious aspect of the mat
ter is the fact that so few drivers
regard glaring headlights as
dangerous and attach no import
ance to dimming their lights
when meeting another car.”
“I’d like to see every North
Carolina driver practice head
light-dimming as a matter of
commonsense and courtesy, be
cause that is all it is essentially.
But if the drivers refuse to co
operate, then I hope the enforce-'
ment officials and courts of the
State will wage an unrelenting
campaigin against glaring head
lights,” Hocutt said.

FARM FRUITS AN
IMPORTANT ITEM
Program For Cultivation of
Trees and Vines Suggested
By H. R. Niswonger.
H. R. Niswonger. horticulturist
of the State College Extension
Service, says every member of a
farm family should not only eat
the proverbial “apple a day to
keep the doctor away,” but also
should have a fruit budget for the
year.
He recommends 12 pounds of
dried fruit, 24 quarts of canned
fruits, and five pints of jelly for
each member of the family.
To help farm people fill their
fri'it budgets, the horticulturist
makes the following suggestions
about cultivation and fertiliza
tion: Spray your apple and peach
trees in order to have fruit com
paratively free from worms and
rot disease.
Fertilize bearing grape vines
with one to two pounds of a 5-7-5
commercial fertilizer per vine.
Stable or chicken manure is also
good. Do not apply fertilizer or
manure clcse to the vine. Thin
cut the bearing raspberry rows
so that the remaining canes will
be three to every foot of row.
Fertilize the raspberries which
are bearing with manure or two
pounds of nitrate ts soda per 100-
foot row.
Newly set grape vinos, rasp
berry, and dewberry plants,
should be fertilized with manure
or one tables,poonfull of nitrate
of soda per plant. Apply in a
ring at a distance of one foot
from the plant. Cut each grape
vine and berry plant to a few
inches above the ground, leaving
several buds.
Care should be exercised in
hoeing young raspberry plants so
as not to cut off the new shoots
that develop frem the roots at
the 'base of the plants. A garden
weeder is better than a hoe to
pulverize the soil around the
base of the plants.

Washington, April 11 Small
tome construction started under
the FHA program established a
