POSSIBLY NEW INCOME SOURCE
It was called to the Pilot’s attention this week that this area
has found a new industry—that of raising white clover for seed.
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.

Clover Seed Trial
Proves Profitable
White clover seed is a paying
crop for this area, it was proven
by Dr. A. 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.
