Stabler, and Thomas are recommended. The Thomas is probably the best known variety. Its nuts are med ium to large, wider than thick, quite thin-shelled, and crack very well. The kernels are plump, light colored, and well-flavored. Nut trees grown from seed sel dom reproduce themselves true to variety. Therefore budded or grafted trees are best. Some seed ling trees will, however, produce nuts of excellent .quality. QUESTIOnT When should grain sorghum be planted? ANSEWR: Planting between June 15 and 30 is preferred. How ever, sorghums can be planted as late as July 15 following such crops as small grain, Irish pota toes, and early truck crops. This is possible because they mature in 90 to 110 days. A shortage of feed grains is expected this yea4>r? farmers whose lespedeza crop has failed following small grain might well consider plowing up the lespedeza and seeding the land to grain sor ghum. Agronomists at State Col lege' say sorghums are drought resistant and are well-suited to some of the Piedmont soils where corn frequently suffers from dry weather. The grain has a feeding value equal to 90 to 100 per cent that of corn. If a low-growing type is used, it can be combined. SPECIAL $inn?? IVV ALLOWANCE!

Cities Must Get Their Names In Pot To Share In Powell Street Money RALEIGH. ? Cities and tpwns have been told to get their nam es in the pot ibetween July 1 and July 21 if they want a slice of 1952 Powell Biil funds. About five million dollars will be divided up between eligible incorporated cities and towns, based half on population and half on non-state system street mileage. . Highway Chairman Henry Jor dan, in a letter mailed today, ad vised mayors of the state's cities and towns of the deadlines for filing necessary data with the Highway Commission. Chairman Jordan advised the mayors that the Highway Com mission is required by law to determine which towns and ci ties are eligible. to receive Powell Bill street aid allocations, and also to compute allocations for all eligible towns. These compu tations are based half on popu lation and half on non-system street, mileage. The Commission has the population data, he said, but it will be necessary fpr the towns and cities to furnish street mileage data and maps. Along with his letter, Jordan sent a form of certified state ment which must <be executed and returned to Statistics and Planning Engineer James S. Buxch between July 1 and July 21, furnishing information on the last municipal election, "inform a. tion on tax rates, and especially data on non-system street mil eage. It must be certified by a registered engineer or registered land surveyor, as well as the mayor and town clerk. Along With that must be sent a map showing the local slreet system and mileage. Failure to file the necessary certificates between July 1 and July 21 will mean that the town or city will be barred from any 1952 Powell Bill benefits, Chair man Jordan warned. "There can be no exception and no extension," he warned. "We urge, therefore, that you take the necessary steps to have the map work done during May and June to avoid any possibil ity of delay," Jordan added. The Powell Bill provides that street aid allocations from one half cent of the State's motor fuel tax be paid cili.es and towns iby October 1 of oaelv year. These certificates of eligibility and mi leage figures must be submitted for all eligible towns in advance to allow time to compute alloca tions ff>F each city and town. In addition to this , and entire ly separate from the current 1952 allocations. Chairman Jordan reminded the mayors that the law requires every town receiv ing Powell Bill money, during, the last year to submit a report tn the Highway Commission on re ceipts and expenditures of Pow ell Bill money . ? Jordan also sent a suggested form for reporting on last year's Powell' Bill aid, reminding the mayors that a report similar to the suggested form must be pre pared aiid returned to Statistics and Planning Engineer Much on or before August 1. 1952.

Patterson. Sec.-Treas. V*>?&r Saturday Night Officers Headache; ?? ??>? '? I i . ? ' 4 By BILL CROWELL Saturday night has long born chronicled in song and story as the wickednest night of the week. With thousands of pay checks cashed and the pleasing prospects of a leisurely Sunday morning in bed otherwise substantial citizens just naturally want to kick up their heels a bit on a Saturday night. For some, this so-called re laxation calls for drinking par ties at near by roadhouses. For others it means crazy races along deserted couhtry roads at speeds up to 90 miles per hour. A lew delight in accelerating their cars around and around in tight, squal ling circles in front of drive-ins, usually to impress fernale cam panions. At arty rate wherever Saturday night frivolity and motor cars get to-gether it's the State High Way Patrolman's headache.^ His day seldom ends before twelve or one o'clock on weekend nights. For as daylight fades it's then he puts away a hearty supper, checks his equipment and rolls back out on the highway -to face the worst of the week in motoriz ed violence. And it nearly always comes. A Wake County Negro chose a recent Saturday night to terrify the neighborhood with pislol shots, ordinarily a simple case for the sheriff's office. However, when the man's hysterical wife reported he had attempted to kill her apd roared off down the road drunk in a battered Ford it be came the Highway Patrol's pro blem. A routine problem to be sure, since Saturday night drunk i en drivers are fairly common- j place. However the chase gets ( somewhat distasteful when a whiskey-fired armed madman and a dilapidated automobile combine. Coordinated hy three Way radio, patrol cars in the vici nity eoverged on the area. They spent hour upon hour criss-cross ing dusty country roads jn an ef fort to trap their quarry. Mid night passed. Theoretically they were off duty. At two o'clock the weary officers gave up, confident though that the sodden culpit was off the highway at least. But even so one of the . troopers took a [swing out his regular patrol j route, abandoned during the hunt before checking out for the ntghi. I Other officers, in other - places I pursuing speeders or on route to jail with drunken drivers. -watch ed two o'clock pass, shrugged their shoulders, and stayed with it. Saturday night dorsn'i end for the Highway l'atf ' uptil traffic I is down to ;t bare minimum, often ! in -the we<> hours of the morning. Minor thorns in the side of the | highway Hoopers are the spark firs. The couples who park un lighted cars in desolate areas, "listening to the radio" as most of them say. Dan Cupid has his way as far as the Highway Pa trol is concerned, unless the car I is standing half in the road, which is often the case. A lot. <>f Saturday night romances- ami. potential ha/zards -- are bit/ken up by alert Highway Patrolmen. Any Saturday night event a I dance, sports, or show - calls for extra vigilance when it's over. As a flood of out-of-towners hit the road lor home Highway Patrol men always expect several . of them to "break bad", which Is to say. start 'speeding. And it s not easy to lose a pursuing patrol-, man, even under the cover of darknes riu'm experience they can pretty accurately measure a fast disappearing t-qilltght's speed and distance away. It's just , a matter of time until the offender is clocked, overhauled and cited. Not surprising is the fact that a majority of auto smash-ups oc cur on. Saturday, and particularly on Saturday night. It's no shock for a Highway Patrolman to drag a bloody corpse fiom the wreck age of a head on collision. He's grown hardened to it purposely. The investigating officer must make quick, clear decisions at the scene of an accident. He has reports to fill out, traf fic and curious onlookers to 'con trol, and the pitiful tusk of a fa tality. He may be dead, tiled. I Chances are he has all ready put ? in from 12 to 14 houira at the) wheel of his car. But an accident ! summons, no matter what the! hour, means hot one thing to the Highway Patrolman duty, Sat- ?' urday night, when their work i> Child Labor Law Affects Farmer The Federal Child I^alior T.aws prohibit employment <if children under 11> years of aj^e in . agricul ture' during the hours school is in session, if the products grown on the farm are to In* shipped in in terstate commerce. rhis is pointed out by Dr. C. 11.
