Wilson Speaks To Lions Club "The trucking industry Is the basic life-line in the economic and social life of North Carolina", Jeff B Wilson told the Kings Mountain Lions Club Tuesday night at the club's regular meet ing at the Masonic Hall room. Wilson is director of infor mat'on and safety fo the North Carolina Motor Carriers Associa tion. "It Js not an industry apart to itself, he continued, "but is an irhportnat part of every commu nity." "The limitations, of. the trucking industry's growth and develop ment in the Tar licet state should b'e set only by the industrial pro gross and social achievement of the people of North Carolina,'-' he said. . : Speaking on "The Truck in Your Life" Wilson pointed "out that, "over 1,800 Communities in North Carolina depend entirely on trucks to bring them every thing they oat. wear, and use." Ife devoted much of- his .talk to the thrt'e K's of highway safety, .engineering; enforcemoltt and ed ucation. In addition to being policed by ? the State Highway Patrol, City ?and . County .police officers, the trucking industry polices itself, Wilson explained. "We have road patrols, company supervisory pa trols. and insurance patrols." "The truck driver of today is a professional-driver," he continued in speaking of the education phase .of the courtesy and safety program. "He is truly a gentle man of the highway and lives up to his reputation of courtesy". Wilson reminded the group 'that profcssioiial truck drivers are i rained either under company operation or at the truck driver .1 raining' school nperatcil by North ? 'arolina Stale ( "ollege.

Bell, seed and small grain specialist for State College Extension Service, says that more farmers should have asked this question earlier, because surveys indicate many Tar Heels are not choosing the right wheat variety to plant for their next crop. As a resu.lt, many growers will harvest inferior yields and poor qquaiity wheat next spring. In the Piedmont, Atlas 50. At las 66. and Coker 47-27 are the. best varlties.. In the 1952 Official Variety Tests conducted -by the N. C. Crop Improvement Associa tion on Pledmon' farms, these varieties yielded as follows: At las 50. 48.1. bushels per acre; At las -66, 47 bushels; Coker; 47-27, 49 bushels. Varieties not recom mended for . the Piedmont ? Thome, Bearded, Redheart, and dated over 1 .000 truck, drivers who were thoroughly trained In safety, courtesy, fire fighting, first aid. behind-t he-wheel lab, rules of the road and public rela tions," he stated. "As for engiri<H'ring", - Wilson concluded, "the trucking industry does not receive or expect a free | ride - we pay our share. Trucks are not to blamt>, obviously, for the Nation's narrow, curving, hil ly highways. Nor for the conges tion. for they number t>nly 17 per cent of the Vehicles using these highways. Yet they pay huge high way user taxes, plus the usual business taxes. - ' v Figures for 1952 will undoubted ly exceed the more than 900 mil lion dollars paid to the stales in highway user taxes arid the more than KH) million dollars paid to the Federal Government in ex cises on gasoline, tiros, e<fuip ment, etc.. in 1951 by the trucking Leap ? yielded five to 10 .bush els less than the recommended varieties. Another factor in choosing a wheat variety is the premium paid for the crop at harvest time. Markets at Statesvllle and Kern ersville have been established to buy milling wheat at premium prices. At present Atlas 50 and Atlas 66 are receiving premiums Of 25 cents per bushel over other varieties, a fact that further suggests the need fori growers 10 choose their .variety carefully and Wisely. For growers who are unable to obtain certified seed 'of recom mended wheat varieties. a seed exchange is being operated' as a public service in Statesvllle and Kernersvilte where farmers can obtain certified seed of Atlas wheat now in exchange for com bine-run wheat to be returned at 1953 harvest time.
