Accidents and
Defense
With defense activities stepping
travel in general, traffic
never presented as grave a
■ i. they do today.
Naturally the highways arc
than ordinarily crowded with
army convoys transporting troops
from one end of the state to the other.
Soldiers who have cars, or who can
borrow or rent them, go by motor to
spend their leaves with friends and
relatives and the latter in turn use
motor travel to visit the soldiers in
camp.
Moreover, the upward trend in in¬
dustry has increased our national in
come with the result that motor ve
hide and gasoline sales are on the irt
crease.
National Safety Council reminds us
that “every accident slows down de¬
fense” and surely at this critical time
America has greater need for man¬
power and property than to spoil them
recklessly on the streets and high¬
ways,
The Georgia Department of Public
Safety advises drivers and pedestrians
t&jit two things will keep the acci¬
dent rate at a minimum and neglect
of them will surely send it soaring.
They are faithful observance of the
rules of safety and courtesy toward
the other driver or to the pedestrian.
Surely these are a small price to
pay for so great a result. Our own
local police officers and the State Pa¬
trol join in an unanimous appeal to
the driving and walking public to use
more caution and courtesy.
And The I .eadet-Tribune makes the
appeal that we Georgians ease Uncle
Sam's national defense headache all
we can by putting the lid on our traf¬
fic accidents.

, The Roman poet Lucretius once
wrote of the feeling that comes to a
person standing on the shore when
there is a great storm at sea and
watching the tribulations of Others
Lucretius declared that it was not
enjoyable in itself to see others in
difficulty, hut that the sensation was
enjoyable because »- to perceive what
ills you are free from yourself is
pleasant.”
We may not all share that attitude.
But there is no denying that, there is
a certain comfort, even when you are
in difficulties yourself, in being able
to point to someone else and say:
“He's worse off than I am!”
In the field of taxation, many Amer¬
icans have in recent years taken ex¬
actly that tack. Faced with constant¬
ly growing burdens, federal, state, and
local, they have drawn a measure of
consolation from hiking a thumb in
the direction of Great Britain and
what was commonly admitted to be
her much heavier tax rate.
Now, according to the New York
Times, even this satisfaction has been
taken from us. Befort* the
war, the Times tells us, the ratio
taxes to national income in both
tions was about the same,
at slightly over 20 per cent, But
der the impact of war spending,
ish national income has probably
sufficiently to bring the ratio
around 19 per cent, and leave
United States the owner of the
unwelcome “booby prize” in
field.
In the past, many people have
the mistake, in comparing the
rates in these countries, of
matching taxes of the respective
tional governments. Actually, the
tional government is the chief
lecting agent in Britain, while
to our own federal taxes is a
bag structure of state and local

T EACHERS, safety organizations,
Boy and Girl Scouts, and others
are engaged in a country wide cam
palgn to warn boys and girls of
the dangers of playing with blast¬
ing caps. These are filled with a
powerful explosive and when de¬
tonated fragments of metal are
driven in all directions with great
force. Sometimes they are left lying
carelessly about and children find
them. Often they hammer or pick
at them, or throw them Into bon¬
fires. As a result, children are
maimed and often seriously and
permanently Injured. Boys and girls
should leave blasting caps alone, If
they find them, and notify an of¬
ficer of the law or a responsible
adult. At the right are Illustrations
showing these caps. The one at top
is designed to be exploded by sparks
from a fuse. The lower one is a
metallic cylinder, varying In rilinen-
some 175,000 state and local tax col
lecting units iri the United States take
in many billion dollars yearly. It is
undoubtedly extravagance in all three
divisions—federal, state, and local—
that has finally sent this country
ahead in the unfortunate tax burden
marathon between the two countries,
Even the small and meaningless J
consolation mentioned by the Roman
poet seems no longer left to us; in
sober fact, we are really the ones \
who are now at sea. And with the
need for adequate funds for the na
tional defense, it is certainly time we
pulled for the safety of shore, and
made an effort to cut out all possible
waste in the non-defense spending of
our various governmental bodies!

Value of Fertilizer
Is Proven in Tests
Large increases in crops result from
the use of nitrate of soda as com¬
pared with land having no fertilizer,
it has been proved by a six-year test.
During the six-year period, 1935 to
1940. the Chilean Nitrate Educational
Bureau, Inc., in cooperation with de-
I
slons and color, with wires at¬
tached. A small amount of current
is sufficient to explode such a cap.

plement, or to fire.
partments of vocational agriculture
throughout the state, conducted 304
cotton and 248 corn
tests. Each demonstration was 2 Vi
acres in size. The cotton was ferti
lized before planting with approxi
mately 400 pounds per acre of stan
dard low-nitrogen mixed goods, such
as 3-9-5, 4-8-6, and others. Generally,
the corn was not fertilized
planting. A sidedressing
of 200 pounds per acre of nitrate was
made to the cotton after
and before squaring, The corn was
side-dressed 40 to 50 days after plant
ing.
The results of the cotton
strations showed an average
with nitrate of 1,159 pounds seed cot¬
ton, without nitrate 777-—an
of 382 pounds due to side-dressing.
This increase in yield is about
same as obtained at the experiment
stations and farmers may expect sim¬
ilar returns when they follow
same general practices.
In the corn side-dressing tests, the
average yield with nitrate was 31
bushels, without nitrate 18 -an in¬
crease of 13 bushels due to side-dress¬
ing. These yields are well in line with
experiment station results which in¬
dicate that farmers may expect (i to
8 bushels of corn from each 100
pounds nitrate of soda used as a side¬
dressing. Rainfall and nitrogen are
the two main limiting factors in corn
production. It is preferable to side
dress corn at the proper age, 40 to
50 days after planting, rather than at
some specific height of plant. Georgia
could practically double its average
yield of corn by applying 32 pounds
of nitrogen, equivalent to 200 pounds
