THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, , HERTFORD, N. C, FRIDAY, JUNE 7, 1940 PAGE SEVEN Traffic Deaths In Perquimans In First Four Months One of 29 North Caro lina Counties With No i cutt Gratified Twenty-sdhe North Carolina coun ..ties, inducing .Perquinuina County, Reported- no traffic fatalities for the first. tfour months of this' year, the ; Highway Safety Division announced this week In addition, 22 other counties re- - ported only, one fatality each, which means that less than, ten per cent of the 231 . street suid highway , deaths during the fouwnonths.f period oc curred in half , of the 100 counties in the 'State, while the ' remaining 50 counties reported . over 90 per cent of the traffic deaths. ' The counties with clean accident - slates for January, February, March , and. April were: Alleghany, Ber 1 tie, Caldwell, Camden, Caswell, Chowan, .Clay, Craven, Currituck, - Dare, Gates, Greene, Haywood, Hen derson, Hyde, Jackson, Jones, Mar-: tin, Mitchell, Onslow, Perquimans, Person, Polk, Randolph, Transyl vania, Tyrrell, Warren and Yeacey. "I wish to congratulate these counties on their splendid safety re cord," Safety Director Hocutt stat td, "and I especially wish to com mend the law enforcement officers of these counties, for without their in terest and cooperation such records could never have been achieved." Four of the 28 counties with clean Occident records for the first foui months of this year also had no traffic deaths in 1939. These were Alleghany, Chowan, Hyde and Tyr rell. For the state as a whole there were 231 highway deaths the first four months of this year against 257 for the same period Jst year. "This is an encouraging reduction, and I am looking forward to the day when the people of the 50 counties that are causing 90 per cent of our traffic deaths will determine to be more careful when driving, playing, or walking on the streets and high ways," Director Hocutt said. State Joins Nation . ;! For Dairy Promotion North Carolina will join hands with other states in June to observe National Dairy Month, says John A. Arey, extension dairyman of N. C. State College. Twenty local committees have been named to promote the con sumption of milk in their respective sections. These committees will work with hotels, cafes, drug stores, and leading food distributing agencies to bring miflk and other dairy products to the public's attention. "North Carolina could well afford to take an active part in National Dairy Month," Arey said, "since it ranks far down the list in the per t. capita consumption of milk. At the j. j.; ii nn tt i .present nine, uie average iar neei drinks only four-tenths of a pint of milk daily. Along with this is a correspondingly low consumption of butter and cheese." Governor Clyde R. Hoey and a number of North Carolina mayors have already placed their full en dorsement on the purposes and aims of National Dairy Month. The 1939 farm, value of dairy pro duction in this State,.. Including those products consumed on the farm, was i- $32,000,000. Arey pointed out that if the consumption of milk was in creased from the present available supply of 400 pounds, in which are included all dairy products, to 800 pounds, " the national average, the North Carolina farmers would be doubled. The State College ' specialist said that nutritionists recommend at least 'a pint of milk a day for adults and a " i quart daily for growing , children. Milk is needed by the young to pro mote growth and to build resistance to disease. , Adults need, milk to re : build worn-out tissues and to main tain a high resistance to disease. Poultry Management w Important In Summer K' The health anegg production of ..the poultry flock next fall will be in proportion - to the care given the pullets this' summer, ; according to ' ' CV F. Parrish, poultryman of the N. C State. College. Extension Service, On of . the first, "mugta". in .the -grower's program- should; be the pro viding of dean ground ,not used by, poultry for at least g two years' $o range the pullets. r" Then, too, Parrish pointed out, an pen air " summer ' range shelter lould be located in Vcorn or soy an' field, orchard lespedeza pas jre, or some other location where tmple ) green feed end shade are available. - , p . An ample supply of tender green nl will cut the feed bill greatly, as 1 p 3 result : in a more healthy' n planted in rows or THIS MONTH 'State College specialists . recom mend the following good farm prac tices for the month of. June: Earl Hostetler, professor of animal husbandry, says the farmer who grows beef cattle, sheep, and swine gets a breathing spell during June. The sheep and beef cattle should be on pasture, and, except for salt and water, will need little attention. If sheep are on permanent pasture, it will be necessary to drench the ani mals periodically to control stomach worms. While the livestock man can take it easy, Roy Dearstyne, head of the College poultry department, says hot weather only, adds to the problems of the poultryman. Not only is this true with young birds, but the ma ture flock as well. He points out that most of the early-hatched pul lets are ready for vaccination against chicken pox if this has not already been done. Then, the poultryman should watch for overcrowding at this period. Other factors in pro ducing healthy strong pullets are: feeding a well-balanced diet, con structing summer range shelters, checking for internal' parasite, and providing plenty of watering places and shade. i Enos Blair, Extension Service agronomist, passes along a few hints on harvesting small grain this month. He says the grain should be harvested when., dry and shocks so built as to withstand wind and in corn make an ideal shade and source of green feed during hot dry weather. It is also important that the pullets have plenty of fresh wa ter supplied in a cool, shady place at all times. At least once a day, in the late afternoon, the pullets should be fed liberally on whole yellow corn and whole oats, the State College spec ialist said. Also the ' birds need a high qaulity growing or developing mash. Many of the more successful poultrymen keep whole oats and whole yellow corn in hoppers before the pullets as well as a hopper of mash. "Of course," Parrish stated, "lib eral feeding of whole oats, corn, and green feed will retard sexual matur ity of the pullets to a cerain degree, but this is to the advantage of the poultryman since the birds will have more time to become better develop ed. This will mean larger eggs and more vitality." CENTER HILL NEWS Miss Nellie Blanche Stanford, stu dent at E. C. T. C, Greenville, has arrived to spend the summer with her parents, Rev. and Mrs. J. T.

Much grain is lost each year because it was cu when too wet or shocked improperly. The second important job, the State College man says, is the cul tivation of growing crops. Cultivate corn, cotton, and tobacco steadily during this month, at least every week or ten days. A good rule is to cultivate as soon as possible after each rain. The third important job is getting soybeans and cowpeas planted on stubble land. To do this, Blair suggests getting into the field immediately after the grain is cut Plow the land well, make a good seed bed, and put .the legume seed in the ground. Also, corn and cot ton should receive a top-dressing of nitrate of soda this month. Paul Kime, Experiment Station agronomist, says if sufficient hay crops have not been seeded, there is still time to make good crops of soybean, cowpea, and Sudan grass ii the crops are planted during the first part of June. Sudan grass may be seeded alone or with the two le gumes. The grass makes an excel lent hay, if cut just as it heads. Dr. Luther Shaw, State College Extension Service plant pathologist, warns against harvesting and sack ing Irish potatoes when the soil is wet, since the spuds will heat in the containers and often rot badly. Also avoid harvesting during mid-day if the weather is unusually warm as scald and decay may result. she is now able to be out again. Mrs. Pettit and son have returned to their home in Washington, D.

PEANUT REPORT Virginia-North Carolina Section: Planting oi new crop peanuts has continued actively during the past week, and present indications are that the end of the month will see plantings 90 percent completed in Virginia and North Carolina. Thr growing crops are reported to be coming along satisfactorily. Demand for Jumbo peanuts has recently been a little less active than it was during the early part of last week when numerous lots of farmers' stock changed hands, but the market has continued firm. Farmers' stock pea nuts are in strong hands, and the owners of the better grades are showing no particular interest in selling at present market levels. Pre vailing prices per lb., delivery point basis, follow: Virginias, Jumbos, best 4 3-8-4.40c, few 4'c, medium 4-4c; Bunch, best 3 7-8-3.90c, few 4c, medium 3-c; Shelling Stock, best 3 3-8-3 5-8c, few 3c, medium 3 1-8-3 lAc. Spanish farmers' stock, nominally 95c per 30-lb. bushe!. Demand for shelled and cleaned Virginias has been reported to range from quiet to fairly active with dif ferent mills. Some millers are quot ing completely unchanged ,prices, while others have advanced their prices slightly. This results in a wide range in price, though market levels on the whole show little change from those of last week. Who Knows? 1. Is Erin assisting in the defense of the British Empire? 2.

R. Niswonger, Extension horticulturist of State College, says the frame garden is also valuable in protecting vegetables from the hot summer sun in the central and east ern sections. "A frame garden can be construct ed from scrap lumber, planks, slabs from, saw mills, or similar material,'' the specialist advised. "The sides of the garden should be of boards about one foot wide, and the most conven ient size of a frame garden is 5 feet wide and 20 to 25 feet long. More than one garden can be built if more space is needed. "Strips are nailed across the frame every four or six feet to support the sides and hold up a cover of brush or slats to be used when necessary for partial shade and to prevent dam age of early fall frosts. The eoil in the frame should be fertilized with manure, or with 5-7-5 fertilizer. Spade up the soil area to a depth of 8 to 10 inches." Niswonger also stressed the im portance of having a convenient water supply so that the beds can receive moisture they will be robber of by the nature of their construc tion. He says that radishes, lettuce, beets, mustard, spinach, carrots, bush beans, Swiss chard, and English peas are some of the vegetables that can be grown in a frame garden. "The rows of vegetables in the frames should be 12 inches apart for small growing plants, but greater spacing between rows will be needed for English peas and beans," the horticulturist stated.
