Scheldt ( “Winter come* every year at about the same time so why are so many oar owner* caught un 1,1* pa rod in the first weeks of rmlly cold weather?" he asked. “It s easy rtnough to put oil doing what we know needs do ing". he said. “Some problem at home or at work takes priority and we postpone winterizing the family car. But unless a car is ready for the blasts of winter, both the car and its driver may be in for a good beating. The commissioner recommend ed that driver* condition them selves and their car* for cold 1 weather by following this advice. 1. Get your car ready now if you’ve not done so. Have your serviceman winterize it. If con ditions require them, use rein forced tire chains. 2. Recognize the big drop in tmclion on snow or ice. and learn the driving techniques to cope with it. 3. Anticipate hazards and be ready to meet them with smooth, controlled movements “When forecasters predict a cold wave, sleet, snow or warn of icy road conditions, that s Anew* that should be taken to ■tNrt by driver*. Those who don t tnd up in mishaps and maau IS news tnemselves," Scheldt de clared. There are many mountains and mountain range* on the mo<M. but none as tall as those on earth. According to the Book of Know ledge, the highest of the moons mountains tower about 25.00" fart above the surface of the moon, some 4.000 feet less than earth** tallest peak. Mount Ev FUNNY BUSINESS "tt'i easier than putting him on a stretcher!" ' North Carolina May Be Missing Opportunities In Development North Carolina may Ire missing an opportunity for rcattomic de velopment by not hunt ini; foi ounoth' farmer!* as well as out side industry. At least this is tlie oelief of. some horticulturists at North Carolina State. Valuable farm land in much of the metropolitan east is being j gobbled up by industrialization and urbani'ation. Large, highly skilled producers of ornamental and vegetable crops are falling victim to the concrete. Why not encourage some of these farmers to relocate in North Carolina? asked Dr. Frank Haynes. “We have $300 per acre muck land in Eastern North Carolina that would lie worth $2,000 an acre in Orange County. N Y.." Haynes explained. “Much of this land ” he added, “is going into pine trees when it could be made much more productive.” Haynes pointed out that many of the displaced farmers have ex tensive experience with “muck farming." They would know how to handle similar soils in Eastern North Carolina, and they would have the capital to finance* large scale enterprises. Dr. Fred Cochran, head of the Department of Horticultural Sci ence. (minted out that several out-of-state ornamental produc ers have discovered the advan tages of Western North Carolina and moved to the state in recent years. p 'ff The huge Oscar Maier green house operation near Asheville is an example. Maier came to North Carolina from Long Island. He now has about 75.000 square feet uniter glass and is growing mil lions of carnations annually "We have done some work with a few of these out-of-state farm ers”. Dr. Cochran explained. "I l>elievc more of them would move if wo could find some way to broadcast our advantages.'* How would local farmers react to “outsiders" moving in? Ln<a1 farmers would not react adverse ly; in fact, they would he quick to accept new ideas and crops that would contribute to their livelihood Dr. Haynes predicts a “four) objections" at first. Hut he be- j lieves the objections would soon, die down as local farmers began, to realize the advantages that! could come from suqji a move. "I understand our blueberry! growers were not very happy! when a large New Jersey firm moyed in a few years ago," Haynes commented. "Now there is not an agricultural crop in the state that is growing faster than blueberries." "Skilled farmers from out-of state oould help push N. C- pro duction to levels needed for effi cient production, marketing and promotion. They could help pro-, vide leadership and “know-how” for local farmers, especially in such matters as contract farm ing. "This move would fit right in with our efforts to get sizable food processing plants into the state.” Haynes added. "A proces sor is not coming into an area until he has reasonable assurance of a steady supply of high quali-; ty crops." Haynes and Cochran also pointed out that many of these farmers would be interested in growing crops not now grown commercially it. the state. Com mercial production of carnations in Western North Carolina has more than doubled as a result of growers relocating in the state. Farmers from Long Island and other places would probably be interested in growing such crops as broccol|f cauliflower and brus-! sel sprouts. Except for a little broccoli, these crops an not grown in North Carolina at present. Re search has shown that they can he grown, and grown profitably.: however.
