While the per-pound receipts are exceedingly high, the greatest profit to the grower will come from the hay it will produce for cattle, especially milk cows, and the amount clover will build up the fertility of the soil. People who have land which has been “sapped” by lily growing, should investigate this new crop. WATCH CHILDREN MOTORISTS! Children, impulsive, unpredictable, daring, ar® “nightmares” to motorists, not only here, but in all cities over the nation. The burden of the caution, therefore, must rest with the motorists, as he approaches those zones marked “School Crossings.’’ Usually, children when singly or in small groups, will be found cautious on the streets and highways, but when the motorist sees a group of a half dozen or more, he must remember that children are carrying on some conversation, and lose sight of everything else about them. Adults are also inclined that way. Those yellow signs, painted on the pavement have a definite meaning, motorists must remember. Responsibility for an accident at these designated spots always places the responsibility on the motorist in more than 90 per cent of cases. What can the adults do about it? Just be careful—that’s all. IT SEEMS TO ME should. It has been getting in- creasingly better the years I’ve lived in the county. Kenneth Thompson and his board of directors cannot b e criticized for they did all in their power to make this year’s fair better. I actually believe it has showed the greatest improve ment of any fair over the pre vious one. Kenneth certainly did devote plenty of time to his job as manager. ♦ By Dewey exhibits In looking over t I noted at Curry County fair, quality that the quantity and were considerably better than last year, and the competion was more keen between communi ties. This much was good, but I’d like to oiler a suggestion to the fair board, not from a criti cal |x»int of view, just a sugges- the exhibits up for tien : ?e hours longer on the last day. Krom this area there were scores of people who were unable to get to the fair except on Sun. day, and many of them missel emt on the displays because many tec re in the process of ing dismantled. These people sorted to me that they wt rt appointed. and if next year the sami practice teas followed. they would not attend. Personally, I btlwie they have a point. I. too, mis unable to see all thè dis pla^s for thr se, me reason. Eventually, I presume, all thè details will be ironed out, and the fair will claim the place in Cui rj Count' lite that it real!)

O. Schmitt and Archie McVay just recently, when the two harvested between 600 and 700 pounds of the seed on a plot just about an acre and one-half. Dr. Schmitt told the Pilot he had been experimenting with the seed for a few years, and felt that its production was one of this area's big crops. The seed sells for $7.50 per pound, he said. The two men bought a five-ft. combine harvester to thresh the seed, and expect to go into the production in a bigger way in the future. Despite the clover is allowed to ripen for threshing, the hay may be saved and used for feed of any stock. It is highly nutri tious feed, it is said. “The good thing about white clover,’’ said Dr. Schmitt, “is that it builds up the fertility of the soil, which in this country has been depleted quite seriously by lily growing. Proper crop rota- tion, with clover, using this as a money crop, too, people of this area can open up new avenues of money crops, including re- vivai of dairying on a big scale. I’d like to warn all car drivers io watch out for school children especially in those places mark- ed “School Crossing.” Those un predictable youngsters those im pulsive citizens of tomorrow do not always heed the traffic rules they do not always think of the hazards. You are an adult and the responsibility must be all yours. I believe the worst I ever icon seared axis in front of the local postoffice about a year ago. I'd driven in that afternoon to get the mail.
