FUSSIN'. , FIGHTIN'" Donald O’Connor Marjorie Main Also: Cartoon Over Driving of Headlights Called Menace To Safety to impress upon operator Of all the dangers of night driv ing, one of the moat common is what safety engineers call over driving oar headlights, J. T. Laney of the Beard-Laney Com pany said today. What they mean is that the dis tance we can see by our headlights at night is limited and too o: people are inclined to drive a car at speeds in excess of which it is possible to stop within that limit ed distance covered by the head lights. This is a dangerous and alMoo-common practice that should be avoided. This statement was made today by Mr. Laney in a abort talk making the conclusion of the as sociations* month-long campaign motor vehicle rs the' importance of dim ming their headlights at night This month’s segment of the Motor Transportation Association of South Carolina Courtesy and Safety Campaign has been in ef feet since Oct 1, time, the trucking safety m swage was carried to more than 5 million trucking in dustry employees. Mr. Laney said. "It is true that we naturally tend to drive a lit tle more slowly at night but if we aren’t careful, we gradually let going faster than we think we are going and that is what gets us into trouble." The profesdonal track driver reali ed that momentum, the seme force that attempts to throw our vehicles off curves when ere at tempt to round them at excewivi spends, works just as well at night as it does in the day time. In other words, if your are driv ing beyond your headlights at night and you suddenly approach a curve or have to swerve sud denly to avoid a pedestrian your chances of having an accident are greater since you have leas space to decelerate than you would have in the daytime when the object i and during that industry’s would see the object rer i never beyond your hea i you The moral—drive slower at night, and idnghts. Destruction Of Cotton Stalks Very Imported Although the destruction of cot ton stalks in the early fall has been'advockted for many years as a means of reducing the overwin ter survival of boll weevil, it is not generally recognized that their destruction will aLw assist in the control of economically important fungus diseases of the ootton plant ' In a statement released this week, Dr. Arndt sayr "Surveys of cotton fields during recent months have shown that* Infection of the cotton plant by the anthracnose fungus during the past summer t and was more prevalen than in any recent year. This fun gus was the primary cause of much of the boll rot that greatly reduced yields. It was also found on the lint and inside of walls of open and cracked bolls, on the young stems, and even In leaf spots. Consequently, there will be an abundance of anthracnose-fun- gus spores to infect seedlings and S lants if the stalks are left stand- tg in the field until planting time. It has been proved con clusively that the anthracnose fungus will lose its viability in several months if the old plants are in close contact with wet soil ‘The abundance of (he an thracnose fungus on bolls’ and lint also indicates that much *f the available planting seed will carry numerous spores of-the an thracnose fungus, he continues. ‘This would Indicate that seed treatment with an effective fungi cide may be necessary to avoid heavy cotton seedling losses next year. ‘The destruction of old Stalks appears also to assist in the con trol of the Aacochyta disease of cotton, a disease mat his jellied numerous young plants in local areas during the lari three years,’’ he explains. ‘This disease is more destructive when cotton follows cotton and the old stalks are left standing in the field until plant ing time. ‘‘Cor nsequently, to control cotton diseases, rotate crops when pos sible, destroy old stalks as early in the fall as feasible, and treat all planting seed with an effec tive fungicide,'’ he advises.
