War And Defense

E. B. Garrett, State Coordinator
for the Soil Conservation Service,
met with the district supervisors
of the New River Soil Conserva-
ton District, last Wednesday
night in Sparta. He discussed
with them the work of the dist
riot and how the district could
help in obtaining the output of
food and feed necessary to win
the war. Mr.. Garrett said that it
will require an all out effort of
all farmers and agricultural
workers in the United States to
produce food and feed requested
by the Secretary of Agriculture
as the farmers part in carrying on
the war.
The district supervisors also re-
viewed and transmitted to the u.
S. Department of Agriculture
their report for the first six
months operation. This report
showed that the district has pre-
pared 113 cooperative agreements,
covering 1858 acres of land, with
farmers who have agreed to prac-
tice good soil conservation and
land-use management on their
land. These farmers, besides prac-
ticing good soil management, will
establish $50 acres of good rota-
tons, 1909 acres of rotations ar
ranged in strips, 81 acres OF
kudzu, 80 acres of sericea, plant
270 acres of trees, and treat anc
manage properly 4,737 acres oil
pasture land. It was also stated
that the district to date had re-
ceived signed applications for CO.
operation from 283 farmers
covering 10000 acres of land.
Methods were also discussed
where the district could reach
more farmers with it's program
than it is now doing. No definite
results were obtained but it was
believed by the supervisors thai

Safety officials said that con-
rerted safety drive in Forsyth
County resulted in a reduction of

From q to eight.
Speed was blamed by the safe
Ty officials for a large part OF the
North Carolina highway death in

crease from 259 to 400 in non-col-
1ision accidents running off the
road, turning over, etc., and to
the fact that 1,142 of the deaths
occurred in rural areas.
The Safety Division announced
that 119 persons were killed IN
highway accidents during Decem-
Der as compared with 139 in De-
cember, 1910, the only decrease
recorded during 1941. October,
with a toll of 161, was the worst
month of 1910, and the worst on
record.
Cumberland County reported
an increase from 35 to 81 in the

Virtually Tied for

NEW YORK. June 27.-The strug-
gle for the individual batting lead
ership of the International League
is as topsy-turvy as ever with Arthur
(Bud Metheny of Newark and Gene
Moore of Montreal in virtual dead
lock for the top spot.
In fact, you have to be mathe::
matician to discover that Metheny
has even a hairline advantage, 1858
to 1850, and in the ordinary three
decimal space calculation of batting
averages they are tied.
Metheny has been at the top q
couple of times earlier this sea-
son, but for the last two weeks the
pacemaker had been Jim Levey OF
Buffalo. However the latest aver
ages showed he subsidized from 1927
to .311 and dropped from first to
q tie for ninth.
The top 10 were Metheny and
Moore at 1856; Ed Kobesky, Buf-
alo, and Norman Jeager, Jersey
City, .321; Eddie Robinson, Balti-
more, .320; Bill johnson, Newark
.319; Sid Gordon, Jersey City, .317;
Ed Majeski, Newark, .313; Stan Ro-
jek, Montreal, and Levy, .3l1.
Although not among the 10 lead
ing percentage batters, Frank Kelle-
her of Newark has hit the most
homers, 16; batted in the most runs
68, and scored the most, So.
Newark's Johnny Babich has moi
been able to work for a couple OF
weeks because of an injured arm
but his six victories and no defeats
still is the best pitching record in
the league. The only other un-
beaten hurler is Spencer Smith OF
Montreal with three triumphs.
