Tractors On Highway
Constitute Menace
CONTINUED from page one)

by drivers of approaching cars.
"A tractor and automobile ac-
cideEt is not pretty thing and
all too often it could have been
avoided if the driver in the car
had considered the tractor a park
ed obstacle on the road" Ralph
adds.
AT this time Of the year farmers
are behind in their blowing and
tractors are quite common on the
highway Tractor operators
should exert every effort to prac-
tice safe driving and remember
that tractors are slow-moving and
cause serious highway accidents.
Quite often it is a dangerous
practice to turn on a public road
when blowing or working in
field. A few minutes taken to
check on on-coming cars may
save several weeks in the hospi-
tai or several dollars spent on doc
tors bills, Ralph stated.

ASC RULING - The Hegari va
riety of sorghum, a crop that can
be used either for silage or grain,
would count against permitted
corn acres on farms enrolled in
the federal feed grain program.
The ruling was announced by
William II. Brady, state admin
istrative officer of the agricultur-
al stabilization and conservation
committee, after consultation with
University of Delaware agrano-
mists, who pointed out the dual
purpose nature of the crop.
The ASC ruling means, in eff
feet that farmers who wish to
grow Hegari sorghum must re-
duce their acres of corn by an
equal amount, in order to stay
within their permitted feed grain
acreage and maintain their ELI
gibility in the feed grain program.
The ruling applies regardless of
the use intended for the sorghum
even if for silage.
Under any circumstances, be-
fore a farmer enrolled in the
feed grain program decides to
plant the Hegari variety, it would
be well for him to check with his
county ASC office" Brady said.
