Hayes, ^president of the Chicago Motor club, has warned motorists and pedestrians to be extra watchful during longer hours of darkness which are in effect since daylight saving time ended at 2 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 28. Hayes pointed out that the need for greater driving care at night is highlighted by the fact, that three out of every five traffic fatalities occur after dark This is true, he said, although only 30 percent of driving is done at night. "At night many pedestrians looking at the bright headlights of an oncoming car, feel sure that they are being seen by the driver," Hayes said. "What they don't realize is that if their background is as dark or darker than they are and they are wearing dark clothing, less than five percent of the light which falls on them is reflected back to the driver's eyes. Rain, mist fog, a dirty windshield and inefficient headlights further reduce the driver's visibility." Hayes urged motorists to cut down driving speeds which, while safe during clear weather, mav be excessive under autumn driving conditions. Cockroach «n TV After making a study of the infes EjMSI" By W. E 'TUUMOI j Speaking <?f planting potatoes in the moon, I see by the Kane County Farmer, under the heading "Alternating Current" by A. C. Johnson, farm adviser, he is recommending a method tb find old tile fines. Take two wires about 18 inches long and bend about 5 inches of one end over to right angles. By the use of these handles hold the wires out horizontal in front of you and walk. When you cross a tile line, Johnson says, the wires will turn in your hands and cross. Simple, isn't it? - Farming in the Red River valley of North Dakota is a very simple matter. They know more about who is ahead in the American League than we do because they have plenty of time to listen to the radio. • In the area where we*, were they will average a set of buildings, including a blue sky decorated ceiling machine shed, per square mile. Everyone has R.E.A. electricity. The grade school kids in our community go 6 miles to school and high school is 26 miles. The soil is a fine black sandy loam. They pull 4 bottoms with a 2-bottom tractor. They were plowing with a 3-bottom plow and pulling behind it a roller the same width as the three furrows and behind it a press wheel drill also the same width plowing, rolling, and seeding rye in one operation with an H tractor. Are you considered a leader in your community? If ao, we are sure you will want to support of Agriculture telling about his trip to Europe last summer. He has a beautiful series of slides. The second meeting will be Nov, 19, with Dr. G;. W. Salisbury, head of the Djdyy Department, College of Agriculture, to give us the latest on dairy research. We are completing our 4-H club year. We consider every parent as an assistant club leader and where he or she doesn't take that responsibility we can sure tell the difference in the member's records. Why so much to do on records? This is a basic activity of successful humans. All successful people keep records of their business activities, including farmers. Practice makes perfect and records are a habit, j Someone said 89 percent of the people fail to get ahead because of undesirable character traits such as heavy hip pockets. Did you know that a corn picker is absolutely unable to reach out and get you--that it is harmless standing still not running--Oh, you could stumble over it in the dark and bump your shins. Have you considered staying on the seat as long as it is running? Have you considered working the buddy system where there is always more than one present when picking corn? Stay alive, boy. Kids' that grow up without dads miss the most precious possession they will ever know. Give your kids a fair shake. According to the crop reporting service, the high Illinois corn yields are moving out of the corn belt into the livestock area of northern Illinois. They are welcome here and I, for one, will do everything I catr to prolong their stay here. Corn is our highest profit crop. It is one of the chief factors why ours ia one of the richest food producing areas of the world. In order to not be misunderstood, I mean higher yields of corn are welco/ ne, not more | acres of corn. We can't say' we have the richest soils by far. Those' are in Europe and Africa, but we have the climate and the crop. Al Lang will tell you on Oct. 15 -- about the wonderful soils of the Po Valley in Italy and how they are growing 300 bushels per acre since introducing hybrid corn there iq I§47. The first Illinois' State Fair was held on a 20-acre field just west of Springfield in 1863. There were 765 entries of livestock, dairy products, poultry, household products, etc. There was $944 offered as premium money. It wasn't always held in Springfield. Alton, Centralis, Chicago, Decatur, DuQuoin, Freeport, Jacksonville, Olney, Ottawa, Peoria and Quincy were all sites of the fair for varying periods up to 1894, Since then it has been in Springfield.
