Watch that picker |!

You hear it every year-the corn
picker is the most dangerous machine
you've got on your farm. Yet every
year some neighbor loses leg or arm
or fingers in his corn picker.
Look at that picture above. See what
he's doing wrong? First off, he hasn't
shut off the picker before checking the
chains.
On top of that, he's wearing loose
cloth gloves-a good chance they'll get
fouled in the chain, drag his arm in be-
fore he can shake loose.
And look at those baggy overalls.
Just the thing for the chain to grab!
Wear tight-ftting clothes.
Naturally, we hope you'll be picking
bodybuilding Kingscrost this year. But
whatever corn you're harvesting, be
extra careful around that picker. We'd
like to see you around next year

years planting plans set, talk over all
your seed needs with him.
The Kingscrost Seed for next years
planting looks as good as it's ever been.
Once again your Kingscrost Seed will
be tops in quality. And every feature
you re likely to need for high-yielding
profitable crop of corn has been bred
into every Kingscrost kernel.
So check in with your Kingscrost
dealer. Make sure that next year you
get a crop that's dry stays dry-makes
you better money. Plant Kingscrost.

q. Lots of farmers are planting North
rup Kings new Terra Verde Brand
Alfalfa for just this purpose. Usually
they plant it with oats or barley giving
them cash crop before they pillow down
the green manure. This Terra Verde
Brand Alfalfa is a special selection of
alfalfa strains, chosen and blended
specifically for green manuring. After
you've taken the companion crop off,
the plants really shoot up and keep
growing vigorously until frost. You get
fast lush top growth and roots that go
down deep to help break up the soil.
Terra Verde Brand Alfalfa is nom
hardy, but most users say it's the best
green manure crop they've ever grown.

Keep sealed corn dry
to make better m0neV

MINNEAPOLIS, Withmorecor
than ever going under loan this year,
elevator men are reminding farmers
how important it is to keep sealed corn
dry. Corn sealed while it's carrying
high percentage of moisture, or corn
that picks up moisture at maximum
percentage allowed while in the crib,
can mean loss of over 500 on 500
bushel crib at payment timel
WET CORN DOCKED
All local elevators pay less for corn
with high moisture test. They dis
count, too, for damaged kernels often
resulting from high moisture in the
crib. One typical local elevator this
year-paying around 81 40 bushel for
good ~ corn-took off 81 for each per
cent of moisture above 1857 took
away another Ii for each 10 of damag-
ed kernels over SO allowance.
At these prices a farmer selling a
500-bushel crib of good IL corn at 1879
moisture got $500. But another 500
bushel crib at 1859 moisture Q5e off
and with 1870 damaged kernels (8e off
was discounted 23e busbel. Thus the
same amount of corn brought only
$685.. A loss of $115.

KNGsCROsT a DRY CORN

The hybrid with more of the features
needed for safe, dry corn is Kingscrost.
Early opening husks, long slender cobs,
areputation for clean picking make
Kingscrost one of the safest cribbing
corns you can grow. Better see your
home town Kingscrost dealer now.
You'll want to grow it next year.
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1953-09-15
SLENDER COBS NEEDED
GOOD CRIBS IMPORTANT

Often wet corn comes from cribs that
are too wide. The experts say it's best
to use cribs that are no more than 5 to
8 feet wide otherwise the ears in the
middle of the crib have a hard time
drying down. A good crib should have
a tight roof, floor that's well off the
ground, with sides and flooring that
allow free circulation of air. Remem-
Der, too, that unless you grow clean
picking corn like Kingscrost, husks,
stalks and trash in the crib can get so
sodden with moisture that your corn
will start to heat and spoil.
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1953-09-15
DRY DOWN CORN IN FIELD

One help in getting storable corn,
grain men point out, is to hold off pick
ing while the corn gets a chance to dry
down in the field. Some hybrids like
Kingscrost dry faster than others. These
have loose husks-husks that open
early, puff out.away from the ear, let In
air and wind to carry away moisture.
SLENDER coBs NEEDED
A slender cobbed corn also is a. help
in getting dry corn. That slender cob
can't hold as much moisture as thick
one-gets rid of the moisture it does
carry much faster. This slender cob
feature of Kingscrost means drier corn
in the field, drier corn in the crib, corn
that's worth more money.

SCHEME FOR PRIVATE
TOLL BRIDGE SCORED
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
In communications from the AL
bemarle section and from Raleigh
| am told that a bill will soon be
offered in the General Assembly
to permit a privately owned toll
bridge to be constructed across
Croatan Sound between Roanoke
Island and Manns Harbor. This is
the same proposition that was de-
clared to be unconstitutional by
unanimous vote of the Supreme
Court in the recent case of Caro-
| lina-Virginia Coastal Highway VS..
Coastal Turnpike Authority in
strong opinion written by Justice
johnson. A perusal of the record
in this case is indeed most reveal
ing. This scheme has been concoct-
ed in the hope of selling bonds for
the construction of a toll road on
the beach in Currituck County for
private land speculation owned
by nonresident. The bridge
would be over 40 miles distant
from the proposed private toll road,
and the intervening territory is al
ready served by State highway.
The bridge itself has no more re-
lation to the private land specula-
ton than it has to the man in the
moon, and is a mere makeweight
for the toll road. Yet North Caro-
lima is asked to give exclusive right
for such a private bridge over a
great body of water over which
it is now operating free ferry
service.
The House of Representatives on
Monday unanimously passed a bill
which would permit state-owned
toll bridge across Croatan Sound.
If toll bridges are to again become
vogue in North Carolina, they
should be state owned. AS one who
labored long and hard with the
citizens of that section to free it
from privately owned toll bridges,

Cape Hatteras.-When the big
run of big channel bass hit the
surf here on Easter week end
"bamboo forest" was created by
dozens of anglers from several
states who had been waiting for
the copper fighters to arrive. Thir-
ty three fish were landed on Sat
urday night and Sunday and the
largest was 52% FOUNDER landed
by Amelia Balance of Buxton,
home for the week end from De-
Paul Hospital in Norfolk where
she is member of the nursing
staff.
Lafayette Midget, retfr e d
coastguardsman who spends most
of his time surfcasting or guiding
surfcasters now, landed the first in
the surf at the Point Of Cape Hat
teras on Friday, a 36.5-pOunder.
1t was one of the smallest of the
species taken from then on through
Sunday night. Most of the fish
ranged from 40 pounds up.
Cut bait, salt or fresh mullet,
and menhaden was used to at
tract the fish. Miss Balance had
her hook baited with a hunk of
menhaden when the biggest of the
week end was beached. She was
using 30-pound test Ashaway Rec
ord Line, the same she used last
year at Waves when another chan
mel bass she landed, weighing 5314-
pounds became the International
Game Fish Associations all-tackle
record.
Miss Balance caught her big
fish on Saturday night. On Sunday
the largest one taken was landed
by her dad, Capt. B. R. Balance,
retired coast guard lieutenant, who
caught one scaling at 511a pounds.
1t was Captain Balance who land
ed the 75-1a FOUNDER in the surf
at Cape Hatteras several seasons
ago which became the worlds rec
ord for a number of years.
