KILLED TN
SEPTEMBER

Traffic accidents killed 76 peo'
pie and injured 597 others in
South Carolina during Septem'
her, Chief Commissioner Claude
n. Mcmillan of the State High
way Department said this week.
This brought the total for the
first nine months of 1851 to 521
dead, an increase of 1875 per cent
over the first nine months OF
1850.
Accidents in Horny county kill
ed 8 and injured 30.
There were two auto-train col
lisions during September, Mr.
! Mcmillan said, resulting in three
injuries. The highway executive
added that, although there were
no September deaths from such
collisions. this type of accident
caused 3S fatalities during 1850,
or six per cent OF all South caro-
lima highway deaths. This was a
substantial increase over 1949.
Mr.. Mcmillan urged particular
caution at railroad crossings
right now, saying that cold
weather caused auto windows to
be shut tight and therefore made
it hard to hear an approaching
train. while early darkness made
it hard to see.
Of those killed, Is were pedes-
trains, as were At of the injured.
Three children under Is were
killed, and Fl were injured.

School Teacher Says He Found
Viking Landing Site In America
Discovery Is
Commended By
Viking: Experts

Who discovered America :?
Frederick Pohl, high school
English teacher in Brooklyn,
is convinced Left Ericsson
founded a colony on the
shores of Follins Pond near
Dennis, Mass, on Cape Cod.
The extraordinary conclusions
drawn by Mr.. POhl are described
in an article by Morton Nj. Hunt
in the saturday Evening Post,
later condensed in the Readers
Digest which we are reprinting in
part. His findings, based on the
clues contained i'm an old Ice
landic manuscript known as the
Flateyjarbok, appear to be re-
marIIabiy convincing. In fact, no
other scholar has made such a
painstaking effort to point out
and substantiate what he firmly
believes to be physical evidence of
the exact spot, where Left the
Lucky alIegedly landed in 1908
AID. According to the sagas Biar-
nj Herjulfson and his Icelandic
crew sailed for Greenland, but
drifted aimlessly in the Atlantic
for weeks until they came upon
the land to which Left came IL
years later. For half dozen years
afterward Icelanders revisited this
spot, Vinland, where Left had
erected a house. Indians later drove
them off. This, then, is the story
of how POhl reasoned and made
his findings.
Left had sailed back along
Bjarni's route which had included
nine days of sailing in a north
easterly direction. Left had there
fore sailed southwest for nine days.
A viking ship, according to naval
architects, would have been able
to make about $50 nautical miles
per day; SO nine days Of sailing
would have taken Left 1850 miles,
or as far as Nova Scotia. Yet
Nova Scotia didn't fit the descrip-
ton of Vinland Could Nova Scotia
be the second land? Topographic
cally, yes. Then Vinland had to
be the next major land mass pro-
jecting into the Atlantic along
a line running southwest from
Nova Scotia.
That could only be Cape Cod. If
the Cape had been Bjarni's first
landfall, then, sailing northeastern

as his second land, Newfoundland
as his third and then Greenland.

Small Band Of Sheep Adds
Income to Family Farm
By ARTHUR w. CARTER
Daniels Comfy Extension agent

A SMALL BAND of sheep IN addi-
ton to cattle and grain, will provide
additional income to the farmer by
utilizing all of the land encompassed
by the farm.
Here is how Ralph Susag, one of
our Daniels county farmers, uses
his small band (20O head of regis
tered and graded Columbia sheep to
round out his farm operations.
The sheep are pastured during the
summer on 100 acres of bottom land
along the Poplar creek which for
merly grew nothing but small fringe
sage, cactus, and salt grass, the re-
turns from which were practically
nil until Ralph decided to buy a
farm flock of sheep. His foundation
flock of 20 registered Columbia ewes
was purchased from Ernest T. White
of Kalispen.

capacity of his pasture, water be-

ing available. Ralph decided to pur-
chase a sprinkler irrigation unit to
irrigate his pasture and raise some
hay.
In 1919 Ralph purchased one
fourth mile of sprinkler irrigation
system His power unit Is a tractor
which, IN addition to pumping, is
used for other purposes such as hay
ing, etc.
With this sprinkler system Susag
irrigates 40 acres of registered Ladak
alfalfa, and 60 acres of native grass
that is used for pasture by the sheep.
In addition to 200 head Of sheep,
Susag raises so head of cattle that
are run on leased range He farms
400 acres of grain and 400 acres of
summerfallow. All the work on this
farm is done by the family.
The ewes lamb in March and
April, and the cows. calve in April.
Immediately after lambing the ewes
are pastured on crested wheatgrass
that is later moved for hay. Under
this system of management, Ralph is
free to put in his crop after lanhing
and calving.
Alfalfa. Sheep
Although each factor of produc-
ton used on his farm pays dividends,
the two that Ralph takes the greatest
pride in are his alfalfa and sheep.
The reason for this is obvious. The
first cutting of alfalfa provides more
than enough hay for the sheep and
the second cutting is left for seed.
The income from his flock of sheep
has, IN addition to paying for his
farm of $40 acres, also paid for his
sprinkler irrigation system
It is easy to understand how his
sheep have done this when you stop
to figure it out. His average wool
clip is well over Is pounds per head
His lamb crop is always over Ion
percent, and returns from the sale

Farm and Ranch Experiences
Ny Years Experience With. S.
Phosphate on Dryland
By FLOYD E. DAYISoN, cb0Ateaa Conn,
By FLOYD Z. DAWSON. cb0ateau coanty

BECAUSE OUR CROPS began to
decline in the sos, I began to ex-
pertinent with fertilizers. In running
a good many tests with phosphate
was convinced that it was a big aid
to fall wheat
Because the undertaking was so
large decided to enlist the help of
others. In the summer of 1943 con-
tacted a fertilizer company and
representative was sent to see what
could be done. A few tests with fer
tilizer were made in the fall of 1913
with Treble superphosphate on fall
wheat. The following season the re-
Spouse to these tests was so pro-
nounced that I began the practical
use of phosphate on wheat.
The testing continued on through
the years that followed in our COM
munity and in adjacent counties by
individual farmers, the fertilizer
company and Montana State college.
1t is now well established that good
portion of our land will respond in
a profitable way to the use of phos-
phate.
The response is best in the soils of
lower natural fertility. In our COM
nnunity little response is shown in
the lands near the mountains where
nature provided a good store Of plant
food. But as we 60 out away from
the mountains into the lighter col
ored soils of lower fertility, the adj
dition of phosphate does its best
work
Effects of Phosphate
/ have observed certain effects
which occur when wheat is treated
with phosphate. First: The root sys-
tenn of each plant is larger and well
formed even in the early stages of
growth. Second: Phosphate wheat
natures earlier and stooIng is
greatly increased. Third: On most
average fields the yield is increased
in profitable way. The increased
yield is usually not shown in greater
size of heads, but in greater num-
bers of heads as result of better
stooling Although it has not been
thoroughly proven, it appears that
phosphated wheat is slightly heavier;
that is, the test weight is increased
which also tends to increase the
yield.
It has often been said that phos-
phate causes wheat to burn during
drought periods. have observed
that this is not the case where small
amounts of fertilizer are added &C.
cording to the recommendations. o.
course, if heavy applications arr
made there may be burning effect
because of the abundant foliage. Ac
tually the extensive root system
formed early in the life of a phos
phated wheat plant is an aid wher
drought periods come on, in that /
good root system can extract the las
available moisture in the soil.
Winter killing is one of the wors
hazards to the fall wheat crop. Phos
phate is by no means a positive pro
lection against winter injury, but
well fed and well rooted plant doe
have a greater vitality. It often ha
the advantage in the struggle to Iv
through the winter.
