SAFETY COURSES IN SCHOOLS WISE APPROACH TO PROBLEM Union Herald Schools and communities are showing in- creasing interest in the traffic safety prob- lem. Educators, traffic officials and others have come to the conclusion that something has to be done?and that the time to do it is now. Proof of this is found in the wide-spread acceptance of two standard books on traffic safety issued by the National Conservation i Bureau. One, "Man and the Motor Car," is Ldesigned for high yhools. Its sale has ex- Jceeded 120,000 copies and numerous special Properly Graded Leaf I Brings Higher Price, A little time spent in sorting to-1 bacco carefully has been known to | earn a farmer more money than ail | 4be work he spent in the field growing and harvesting it. In the warehouse it's a common sight to see a "pin-hooker" buy a few baskets of mixed leaf from the growers grade it carefully, and sell it io the buyers for considerably more than he paid the farmer for tke same tobacco, said E. Y. Floyd, at State College, The farmer who grows the weed could get just as much for it as th'e "pin-hooker" if he brings it to tie -warehouse carefully sorted and pack- ed attractively on the baskets, Floyd continued. Boytra dont like baskets of mix- ed leaf, and they w'ont bid Very \u25a0much for them. But after it has die en re-sorted and packed in tots according to body, quality, color, and «Ue of leaves, they will bid the price for the particular leaf ia each basket. Adequate light is needed in the aorting rootfis so the leaf can be mmk clearly and graded accurately. 91b the same kind of leaves iato bandies or hands, and have enough different lota to cover the full range of quality, length, and col «r of the crop. Tobacco of low grade will often -bring a fair price when it ia prop- erly prepared, but even the best grade on the market wont bring top prices if it is mixed with inferior leaf. Growers who have more leaf than they can sell tax-free will find it pays to sell their best leaf first, and ?pay tax only on the lower priced iobacco as the higher the price, jthe higher the tax will be. However, I some growers with excess tobacco are planning to buy extra market- | ing quota cards from growers who i do not have enough tobacco to use | up the full amount of their cards.

We plan to add a "Fat-Hog Show' as one of the features this season. In 1937 there were more than 500 exhibi- tors at the Rocky Mount Fair," Mr. Herrington said. Mr. Herrington now has a force of workers making extensive improve- ments on the grounds and buildings at the fairgrounds. "We are going to make the Rocky Mount fairgrounds the most attractive plant in Eastern Carolina," the resident manager sta- ted recently. Announcements will be made later, he added, as to other features of the fair this year. He did say, how- ever, that Lucky Teter and his "Hell Drivers" will be a featured attraction at the fair this year.

The AAA also gave North Caroli- na farmers $11,932.52, up to May 31, in "grants of aid;" that is, tri- ple-superphosphate given farmers in lieu of part of their payments.

I Around 143,000 farmers signed I work sheets for participating in the j program last year, he continued, and some 256,000 farms are covered by work sheets this year. At least 99 per cent of the farms in the State are covered by work sheets that qualify them to take part in the ! program. Floyd pointed out that Tar Heel growers as a whole can earn con- siderably more this year that they did in 1937 if they don't overplant their soil depletirfg crops and if they carry out all the soil building practices recommended for their farms under the program. Among the practices for improving I the soil arc: terracing, applying lime J and phosphate, roseeding postures, growing legumes, and turning ufder green manure crops. B.
