I ( Death Wins Again
As 70 Die Along
Georgia Highways
386 Reported Injured
In 445 Accidents It
October: Four Killed
In One Wreck
Death wins again this October,
even though the total of 70 deaths
in Georgia is 28 less than the 98
of October 1940. And this toll
of deaths in spite of the warnings
given to motorists and the pre
cautions taken to prevent acci
dents.
The records show in October
that:
A colored baby girl less than
a year old was killed when an
automobile collided with a loose
animal.
A young high school boy was
killed in an auto-bicycle collision.
Twenty - two pedestrians were
killed when struck by an auto
I mobile or other vehicle—eight of
these persons killed were less
than 10 years old, the youngest
! three and the oldest eight years
old. Th.ee were ]9 years old—one
j was 29 years old—four ranged in
J ages from 30 to 39 years old—two — two j
were 53 and 58 years
were and 6f > years old and
two were 80 and 83 years old. 1
Five persons were killed in two 1
auto-train collisions, four were
killed in one wreck.
Eight persons were killed in six i
accidents where the car collided
with a fixed object in the road
way, one collision of this type
killed three persons—the fixed ob
jects of these collisions ranged
from a disabled car in the road j
from a previous wreck to narrow
bridges.
There were nine head-on colli
sions which killed 10 persons of
ages from 25 to 81.
There were 16 accidents when
automobiles ran off the roadway
and overturned in which 20 per
sons were killed; 13 of these
events killed one person each
two killed two persons each, and
one killed three persons — these
accidents were caused by taking
curves too fast, passing other
cars or vehicles with insufficient
clearance ahead and avoiding cars
being driven on or over the een- j
ter line.
There were two accidents in
which three persons were killed
when it became necessary to stop
| suddenly, brakes locked, the cars
skidded and overturned in the
road.
There were 50 males and 11 fe
males killed — 54 of these were
white persons and 16 were ne
groes.
Already 70 deaths are recorded
for October and we must remem
ber that the record will not be
complete until 12 months after the
accident, for some of the more
seriously injured may linger a
long time, suffering untold mis
ery before dying. And whenever
these persons die within 12
months, should death be caused
by the injury received, the death
must be counted against the ac
cident on the day it occurred.
In connection with the preced
ing paragraph it will be well to
remember that during the month
of October 386 persons are record
ed from the reports of 445 reports
of accidents as having received
more or less serious injuries. Some
of these injured persons may have
already died and reports not re
ceived yet and many will prob
ably die later as the result of
some person's careless, heedless,
even reckless driving.

Farm Leaders Urge
Continued Plantinc
Of Fall-Sown Crops
Even though recommended dates
fer fall planting have passed,
Georgia farm leaders said this
week that the need for food, feed,
and plant food for National De
fense, makes it necessary to con
tinue planting of these crops.
E. D. Alexander, Extension
agronomist for the Georgia Agri
cultural Extension Service, point
ed out that agronomists of agri
cultural agencies, at a recent
meeting, recommended the con
tinued seeding of fall-sown food,
feed, and soil improvement crops
as late as farmers feel they can
profitably do so, since drought
conditions prevented most of the
planting early in the fall season.
Workers of farm agencies in the
state, he said, have been informed
of the need for more planting of
these fall-seeded crops and are
urging their farmers to continue
the sowing of crops as late as
seems advisable in the various
por ions of the state.
/ lexander said other reasons 1
for a continuation of planting in
cluded the possibility of a nitro
gen shortage and high price, to
gether with the fact that, other
than wheat, these crops under
certain conditions can be used in
meeting the 25 percent close
growing requirement of the AAA.
He said recent rains have allowed
the sowing of crrp.s in certain
sections of the state and that oth
er portions of Georgia could be
gin as soon as the soil was in con
dition.
The Extension agronomist as
.sorted, however, that seed of win
ter legumes are scarce but that ,
all seed obtainable should be
planted. He urged farmers to sow
i a good acreage to small grain,
such as oats, wheat, rye, and bar
’ey, all of which are close-grow
ing crops that can be depended
upon to furnish food and feed
on most farms in Georgia.
Small grain-winter legume mix
tures will add a great deal to the
forage program, Alexander con
tinued. He added that the AAA
payment for the planting of these
mixtures will help with the prac
tice, and pointed out that the I ay
and grazing afforded will be of
great value in the livestock pro
gram.

Clarke County Farm
Family Plans Boos!
In 1942 Production
For years the Amos C. Craft
family has been growing plenty of
food and feed, but now they’ve
made plSns to expand their nor
mal production in 1942 as their
part in the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture’s food-for
freedom program.
Bigger production of food sup
plies and a reduction in the cot
ton acreage are some of the ob
jectives being planned by this
Clarke county farm family. As a
matter of fact, wheat for flour j
and other fall-sown crops have
been planted as means of food in
surance for 1942.
Canning of vegetables and meats
has long been a practice of the
Crafts. Usually they conserve
about 800 quarts of food each year
for home use, there being nine
in the family. All the food for
canning is heme grown. A calf
is grown out for canning every
fall.
Mrs. Ruth T. Broach, Clarke
county home demonstration agent,
speaks well of the Crafts, Not
only are they producers of food
j or home use but also they man
age to grow enough to sell a sur
