More Workers Are
Added To U. C. C.
i
Raleigh, July 4 Twenty -four
workers were added in June and
26 were added as of July 1 to the
personnel of the State Unemploy
ment Compensation commission,
29 of these in the Unemployment j
Compensation Division and 21 in
the Employment Service Division,
all from the register of those who
had passed the merit examinations
and were on the waiting list,
Mrs J. B. Spilman, Commission
vice-chairman, announces.
The additions are to take place
of workers who have resigned
during the year or more and
whose places were left Vacant in
a lax period. A gradual increase
in work due in part to seasonal
layoffs in plants of the State, ne
cessitated the additions, Mrs.
Spilman said.

Truck Accidents
Cause of Deaths
Raleigh, July 4 Three fatal
accidents in North Carolina last
month called attention to the dan
ger of riding on the back of a
truck, Ronald Hocutt, Director of
the Highway Safety Division, re
ported this week.
Accident records for June Show
that a 33-year.old woman, a 36-
year-old man and a 15-year-old
boy were killed during the month
as a result of falling off or being
thrown out of trucks on the rear
of which they were riding.
“Riding on the back end of
and on running boards of pas
senger vehicles is a practice
which should be discouraged by
: everv driver in North Carolina,”
said Ronald Hocutt, Director of
the Safety Division.
“The danger of someone fall
ing off or being thrown off a
moving vehicle if they are riding
on the running board or outside
the cab when the vehicle strikes
a hard bump or swerves unexpect
edly is obvious,” he added," and
the most effective means of com
batting this highly dangerous
practice is for every motor ve
i hide driver to refuse to carry any
passengers for whom they cannot
find a seat inside.”
“Drivers who permit passengers
to ride on the outside of their
i
cars or trucks are at least mor
ally responsible if persons so rid
ing should suffer some mishap.”

QUESTIONS
ANSWERED
«
Question: What percentage of
soybeans can I add to the ration
for my hogs without injurious ef
fects?
Answer: Recent expriments at
this station have shown that as
much as fifty percent of the ra
tion may be soybeans for pigs!
from 61 to 100 pounds in weight.
When the pigs reached 100 pounds
the ration was changed to corn
tankage containing 13 percent
cottonseed meal and this was con
tinued until the animals were
slaughtered at 230 pounds. Out of
153 hogs used, 148 or 96.7 per
cent of the chilled carcasses grad
ed firm.
Question: Can seed Irish pota
toes from the early crop be used
to plant the late crop?
Answer: Seed from the spring
crop of such varieties as Cobblers,
Early Rose, and Bliss Triumph
may be planted for the late crop
if the seed are sprouting, but a
better plan is to secure seed pota
toes from last year’s crop which
have been kept in storage. It
sometimes takes three or four
weeks before sprouting begins
even if the seed are covered with
hay or straw and kept moist un
til sprouting occurs. In any case,
plant only those seed which have
sprouted.
Question: What is the best time
to cut com for silage? •
Answers: The proper time Id
cut corn for silage is when the
grain is denting and the shuck
slightly yellow. This stage of ma
turity is reached about a week or
ten days before the corn is ready
to cut and shock. If cut earlier
the nutritive value of the silage
will be lowered and the acid con
tent often increased to an object
ionable level. If the harvesting is
delayed beyond the proper stage
of maturity the crop will not con
tain enough moisture to pack and
keep well in the silo. If sorghum
is used for silage this crop should
not be cut until the seed in the
head are firm.
