Charlotte, Jan. 18.—With Caro lina citizens more safety minded and aroused to the necessity of curbing motor vehicle accidents than at any time in history, a thorough course of study in high way safety will be offered high schools of North and South Caro lina by the Carolina Motor Club, according to Coleman W. Roberts, president. Since the club was organized in 1922 a perpetual accident preven tion campaign has been waged. In 1925 school boy patrols were in augurated in grammar schools. Success of the school boy safety patrol and safety studies in gram mar schools, not only in the Caro- linas but throughout the nation, is proved by the decrease in the death rate among children of gram mar school age, although the 'fatality rate among high school and college students and adults has shown a steady increase. In an effort to j&prove condi tions among this older group the Carolina Motor club,, which is the largest American Automobile as sociation affiliation in the South, has developed a far reaching course of study which will be made avail able to high schools. This material is now in the hands of printers and has been approved and en dorsed by school officials and citi zens and organizations interested in highway safety. During 1935 deaths on North Carolina highways set an all-time record. An average of three lives a day were sacrificed to bring the total to 1,095—which is 109 more than the 986 fatalities in 1934. Figures for South Carolina are not complete although a new peak will be set in the Palmetto state. In 1934 there were 353 motor vehicle deaths in South Carolina while for the 11 months ending November 1 the figure was 325. t ' In, addition to expanding its ac tivities to include high schools the Carolina Motor club will intensify and continue its program in gram mar schools and in molding public opinion for safety legislation, Mr. Roberts said.

The plan, involving substantially reduced finance charges and broad insurance protection for the car purchaser, is to be offered through ?ord dealers by the Universal Credit Company, authorized Ford finance company. The plan has three important features: 1. Maximum monthly payments jf $25, plus the usual low down payment. 2. Finance charges at the rate of one-half of one per cent per month (6 per cent for 12 months), com puted upon the total of the origin al unpaid balance plus insurance cost. 3. Insurance protection at regular Conference rates, including not only fire and theft coverage, but also $50 deductible collision insur ance and protection against other accidental physical damage to the car. The number of monthly pay ments may be reduced, or monthly payments less than $25 may be ar ranged, if a larger down payment is made or if a late model - car, valued at more than the usual down payment, is turned in for exchange. The account may be discharged at any time by fuU payment of the balance due, in which event a re bate of a portion of the credit charge will be allowed. x Disastrous Effect Of Uncontrolled Erosion 14,000 Farmers Get PCA Loans NET PROFIT OF $70,746.71 IS SHOWN DURING PAST YEAR CJlemson, Jan. 25.—The disastrous effect of uncontrolled soil erosion on the productivity and the ulti mate use of the soil for agricultural purposes, especially in the Piedmont section, is so evident that it needs no elaboration, says Dr. T. C. Peele, associate soil technologist of the South Carolina Experiment Station. Soil erosion is a problem on which fartners have had attention par ticularly focused by the work of the Soil Conservatiqn Service in South Carolina. The effect of various cropping systems on the amount of soil and water loss is illustrated by data from test plots at various points in the Spartanburg area. Compara tive figures on pounds of soil lost per acre from these plots show that from a given number of gallons of rainfall per acre bare plots lost 56,522 pounds of soil per acre; cot ton plots, 37,745 pounds; com plots, 13,152 pounds; lespedeza plots, 2,360 pounds; Bermuda plots, 262 pounds. “These data indicate,” says Mr. Peele, “that the soil loss is largest when land is bare of any cover. Gtotton shewed the largest soil loss 6i any of the crops, with second, lespedeza next, and Ber muda grass least. More than 15 times as much soil was lost from the cotton as from the lespedeza plot and over 136 times as much soil was lost from the cotton as from the Bermuda grass plots. “These data emphasize the ne cessity of using close growing crops cuch as lespedeza and Bermuda ijrass on areas subject to excessive erosion. Steep slopes should be used for hay production, pasture, or be put‘back in woods. Clean cultivated crops such as cotton and com can not be grown on steep slopes over a period of years without ultimate ly ruining the soil for agricultural purposes. “The relative amount of soil in suspension in run-off from ter- .nced areas planted to different crops was investigated at a number 'jf locations. Terraces planted in espedeza showed 55 to 90 per cent s soil in suspension in the run- r f water than did the terraces mted in cotton. These measure- ents were made under field con- ions by catching running sarn ies of water at the terrace out- s during June, July, and August.” Columbia, Jan. 24.—The twenty- "our production credit associations serving South Carolina, after charging off all losses and making liberal provisions for any possible losses on last year’s operations, had a net profit of $7(1/746.71 for the year, according to figures released by Ernest Graham, president of the Production Credit Corporation of Columbia, whicty supervises the operations of the associations. The South Carolina associations, Mr. Graham said, made loans last year to 14,000 farmers for a total of $3,589,556. These' farmer-members paid only 5 per cent interest rate, Mr. Graham said, and only paid interest for the time they actually had use of the money. “The fact that after two years’ operations the capital stock of every association is unimpaired and the associations have begun building a surplus to take care of lean years speaks eloquently for the success of these farmer-owned, farmer-operated cooperative credit organizations,” said Mr. Graham “and best proof of the fact that the service which they are rendering Is appreciated by the farmer is attested by the splendid grpwth in membership in 1935.” There are twenty-four production credit associations in South Caro lina and service is provided for every county. Some associations serve several counties. There are associations at Aiken, Anderson. Barnwell, Bennettsville, Charleston, Chesterfield,^ Columbia, Dillon, Florence, Greenville, Green wood. Hamilton, Hartsville, Conway, Kershaw, Klngstree,, Lake City, Marion, Orangeburg, Rock Hill, Spartanburg, . Summerville and Sumter. There arc 96 associations in the’ third district, comprising the states of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, and Mr. Graham said that the 96 associations had a net profit on 1935 operations of $232,726.86. Each of the associations, he said, had transferred its profit to sur plus so as to be prepared for any possible adverse years. The farmers of the third district now own $775,- 150 worth of Class B stock in the associations, he said. Notice Of Election Some Hens Laid Well In December Registration Books Open Clemson, Jan. 25.—The demon stration flock summary for De cember shows that on the 86 farms reporting before January 15, representing a total of 19,085 hens, the average egg production was 8,6 cents. per peli, says P. H. Gooding, extension poultryman. This is a good average, he states, for this season of the year. The hens ate 12 cents worth of comifeed each, and returned a total in come above feed cost of 15 cents per bird for the' month. The average monthly charge for interest on investment, deprecia tion on equipment, and all othei costs except feed, is approximately 3.5 cents per hen, according to records the past three years. De ducting this amount from the in come above feed cost, the labor in come for the month was 11.5 cents per hen. Highest producing flocks ranging from 51 to 200 hens were the 92 White Leghorns of Mrs. J. O. Ad dison, Cottageville, 21.1 eggs per hen; and the 110 White Leghorns of J. L. McMillan, Jacksonboro, 18.8 eggs per hen. In flocks from 201 to 500 hens the highest producers were the 319 White Leghorns of P. J. Addison. Cottageville, 17.7 eggs per hen; and the 267 White Leghorns of O. E Baker, Dillon, 15 eggs per hen. Flocks with 500 or more hcn f were led by the 578 White Leghorn- of J. F. Addison, Cottageville, 13.8 eggs per hen; and the 794 Whit Leghorns of G. L. Smoak, Round, 11.8 eggs per hen. The highest average of small flocks of less than 50 hens was that of the 41 Rhode Island Reds of Violet Mixon, Tillman, 7 eggs per bird; next highest the 34 Barred I Rocks of E. B.
