(No toll charge) weekend will claim the lives of at least 15 persons killed on North Carolina’s streets and highways as thousands o* motor ists head for the mountains, sea shore and other resorts, warns the N. C. State Motor Club. The club’s estimate is based on past experience of motorists dur ing similar holiday periods cou pled with current driving pat terns, said Thomas B. Watkins, president of the motor club and the National Automobile Associa tion. The state will officially count its holiday highway fatalities from 6 p.m., Friday, May 28, through midnight Monday, May 31, a period of "TS hours. The 19^ traffic toli was 10 killed and 4 1 injured in 6.36 accidents during a 54-hour holiday period. ILeading driver violations caus ing the accidents were: speeciing, 123; driving left of center, 103; failure to yield right of way, 85; following too closely, 65; and redkless driving, 62. "The holiday flow of vehicles will clog roads and pose pro blems of safety, convenience and patience,” Watkins cautioned. “It will considerably increase the danger to all percentagewise. So follow the good driving rules. Be prepared, be courteous, be pa tient — and be safe.” Plants must be fed with care and understanding. There is no rule of thumb. Frequency and a- mounts of plant food applied will depend upon the kind of plant and the soil type. Hardy chrysanthemums prob ably give you more color than any other flowering plant you can grow. Now is the time to prepare for the late summer and early fall color parade. The Colorado River flows into ’ Mexico. i In battle, ships fly colors at J i each masthead. You have three choices: (1) buy rooted cuttings; (2) ■ root your own cuttihgs from the new growth on your plants; (3) di vide the root clumps. Chrysan- thomums will come back from the same location for several years, but they are usually best the first year. Plant glad corms every two weeks for a succession of flowers during the summer. In the veg etable garden succession plant ings of sweet com and snap- oeans are in order for the lower piedmont and Eastern Carolina. Stake and mulch tomato plants. Before mulching, culti vate to destroy weeds. The mulch should be about four inches deep and can be made of clean grain straw or pine straw. Keep the tomatoes pruned by pinching out the tender shoots as they form in the axils of the leaves (at the base of the leaf stem). Don’t let them get too long before pinch j The iris may be considered as the constant companion of a Iwellplanned garden. ’They grow I well in all sections of the state I and are little trouble. Rhizomes may be divided any time after the blooming period until about October in the lower Kedmont and Eastern Carolina and Sep tember in the mountains. Be on guard for lace bugs on azalea, pyracantha, Washington hawthome and rhododendron. Spray with Sevin or Malathion, mixing with water according to instructions. Do a good job cov ering leaves, especially the un dersides. This is the growing season and the time to see that vegetables, shade trees, flowering shrubs and all growing things are pro perly fed. Don’t overdo the feed ing schedule. It is better to feed lightly and often rather than in frequent heavy feedings. Fresh manure is good if you have it. Dehydrated manure can be pur chased. iMost qJE us Use a com plete fertilizer’such as 8-^8. A special acid-forming fertilizer is b«t for azaleas and camellias. It’s travel time! Where in this good land of ours can you find more natural beauty than in the Tar Heel State — Variety Vaca- tionland. Where else can you bask in the sunshine at sea level in your bi kini or trunks and in a matter of hours, by car, be sitting on top of Eastern America peppered with goose pimples? The 43 peaks in the Land of the Sky, all above 6,000 feet in altitude, beckon to you. Here the Appalachians seem to have Unit ed and fused together and then to break up in a confusion of lofty peaks with a labyrinth of intervening valleys. This is the land of cool breezes, rhododen dron, mountain laurel, clear wa ters and fighting trout. At the other end of this 303- mile strip olf land we call Tar- heelia the ghost of Nag's Head beckons. Here the rivers become sounds and thesounds meet the ocean in a never-ending restiess- ness. Dunes are piled high by wind-blown ever-shifting sands and trees bend away from the salt spray. ENery Tar Heel should be able to claim a trip along the most famous outer banks in the worid.
