PRETTY AUTUMN LEAVES MENACE TO MOTORISTS Complete line of Lee's poultry remedies at Wattles Drnr Store, McHenry. 8tf Leaves are pretty in autumn--if they are on trees. When they are clustered about on highways they cease to be pretty, warns Chas. M. Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor Club. "Accumulated patches of moist leaves on highways are skidding hazards for motorists who travel through country abounding in trees," Hayes points out "To avoid skids, slow down w: en approaching wooded areas, depressed sections of roadways, culverts and other places on highways wliere leaves are' apt to gather," he advises. If through no fault of your car it is caught in a skid on a leafstrewn road surface do not appty your brakes. Decelerate your car and turn the steering wheel in the direction of the skid. "In the direction of the skid" means the direction in which the rear end of the car moves. Thus if the rear end of a moving car swerves to the right in a skid, the steering wheel should be turned to the right also. Maneuvers to get a car out of a skid should not be made violently as this will induce a skid in the opposite direction.

SAFE" FEELING SHOULD FOLLOW CORN HARVESTING Keep your hands where they belong during this dangerous cornpicking season, and you'll come through safely. That's the urgent message from Dick Ayers, farm machinery specialist in the Illinois Tollege of Agriculture. The surest way to avoid corn picker accidents, says Ayers, is never to touch a corn picker while it is running. Always shut it off first Forgetting this safety rule meant death to at least ten men last year, permanent injury to seventy-five more, and temporary disability to eighty-five others, hccording to Floyd Morris, chairman of the Illinois Farm ;UKi Home safety committee. Following this rule tically prevent any tnjoriea. ; and arms, toes and gled so badly they had to be eat off, broken limbs, a crushed a torn shoulder, broken ribs-' a cracked pelvis are only a few et the more serious injuries occur- * ring last year when men got care* less with a vicious corn picker. Don't get that "safe" feeltftg until all your corn harvesting is done, nrges Ayers. Such accidents CAN happen to you. Keep four: hands where they belong. Lttn the picker alone when it is run- ' ning.

Although the lowest since- 1947, the expected rate of yield would be the fourth highest on record. The department estimated soybean fields would produce an average of 24.5 bushels an acre, second only to the 1949 record of twenty-six bushels. Total corn production was put at 4S8.000.000 bushels and the soybean harvest at 95.000,000 bushels, or 12.400.000 above the previous • production p«-ak in 1949.
