- f * h ^ ' , * ? FOUR GUNBOAT PASSES THRU SOUTHPORT (Continued from page 1.) A strange coincidence rests in the fact that Captain O. W. Cornwallis. Commander of the Scarborough, is lineal discendant of Lord Charles Cornwallis, Commander in Chief of the British Army, which captured Wilmington, in April, 1781. The handsome home which Lord Cornwallis used as headquarters is Btill in existence. On Thursday of last week, 154 years to the day from the time that Lord Cornwallis was in the home, his descendent, Captain Cornwallis, visi-! ted the house and spent several! hours therein. The house was built about 1760 and is in a fine state of preservation. In the basement was a military prison. To conform with the prohibi- j tion laws of North Carolina, at . 1 v.. r-itv i a banquet arrangcu vy ?-j Commissioners of Wilmington complimentary to the British of- ' ficers of the Scarborough, held last Monday night, Captain Cornwallis proposed a toast to the1 President of the United States,11 and the Mayor of Wilmington a ' toast to the King of the British J Empire, both of which were drunk, not with champagne but 1 with ice water. i SPECIAL TOBACCO CONTRACTS SIGNED/ (Continued from page 1.) their farm through foreclosure.

Many State college and public | ichool teachers are on the pro- J jram, and several recreational j eatures are included. ?ROPER CULTIVATION TREBLES COTTON CROP| A concrete example of what a jood farming practice will do for vorn out soil has been found on he farm of C. J, Hunt, in Guilord County, says E. C. Blair, (xtension agronomist at State College. In the fall of 1926, Hunt enarged his farm by purchasing a 'ive-acre tract of land from one >f his neighbors. The land had >een planted to corn, with the ows running up and down hill, ind had washed badly. Hunt planted corn on the lot n 1927, but made such a poor j :rop that he decided something I nust be done to improve the j loil's fertility. He planted wheat j hat fall; then sowed lespedeza >n the wheat the following ipring. The lespedeza was allowed to ;row on the land until the spring ; >f 1931, when it was turned unler for corn. The corn gave a! >etter yield than before, but still! ell short of a good crop. Barley was sown that fall, and I espedeza again in the spring of 1932. Last spring the lespedeza vas ploughed under.'Hunt plantid a cotton crop, fertilized With j 100 pounds of 4-12-4 to the acre. I The yield was five 500-pound Dales on the five acres. Meanwhile, the neighbor con- | tinued to farm his land in the | Did way. Directly across the road from Hunt's rolling land, the 1 neighbor has a five-acre tract of level land which has been in row crops, mostly tobacco, for 15 years. Last year the neighbor planted cotton on this tract, farming in the old way. and got a yield of only one and a half bales from the entire five acres. NEW TYPE SPRAY CONTROLS DAMAGE TO PEACHES NOW Arsenate of lead sprays will not damage peach trees when zinc sulphate has been added to the solution, says Dr. R. F. Poole, plant pathologist for the North Carolina Experiment Station. The zinc sulphate counteracts the injurious effect of lead arsen1 ate on the trees, but does not impair the effect of the spray in ; controlling disease and insect pests. i When arsenate of lead and lime are sprayed on the trees without zinc sulphate, Poole adds, the leaves, twigs, and fruit are usually damaged. Some of the trees have been known to lose three ; fourths of their foliage as a result of arsenical injury. Experiments conducted within | this State during the past five years have demonstrated that a spray composed of three pounds of zinc sulphate, one pound of lead arsenate, and five pounds of hydrated lime to 50 gallons of water may be used safely. When zinc sulphate was added 4k. r THE STATE PORT P to all sprays cariying arsenate [ of lead, Poole points out, the trees were not only free from in-' jury but they also retained their foliage throughout the season. Zinc sulphate may be used in either the crystal, flake, or powi der form. Since some of the forms contain more water than jthe others, Poole says, a smaller i amount of the powder form is needed than of the crystals and flakes. MAKES POOR SOIL YIELD PROFITABLE CROP I II Scientific cultivation will make [ | even mediocre soils produce unj usually high yields of tobacco, says E. C. Blair, extension agronomist at N. C. State College. Blair cites the case of G. E. Callihan, Bladen county farmer, 1 who raised i,560 pounds of to-1 bacco per acre last year on Bladen sandy loam. During the nine | previous years he averaged 1,434 j pounds to the acre. Last year, Blair adds, Callihan j made a net return of $458 per i acre. This sum does not include the tobacco produced above his J allotment, which was destroyed, j nor the rental and benefit pay- j ments received from the AAA. From 1926 through 1933, Calli- j han averaged a profit of $316 an j acre from his tobacco in spite of j the fact that twice his crop was I seriously damaged by hail storms ;1 and that several years he sold 1 his weed when market prices were extremely low. Callihan uses a fertilizer low in nitrogen and high in phosphoric acid and potash. Last year 1 he applied 1,100 pounds of 2-9-7 1 fertilizer, mixed at home, to the 1 acre and also a small amount of ' stable manure. He plants the Cash variety of 1 tobacco, 18 inches apart in the row, and lets it grow to a height 1 of six feet before topping it. He ' uses the ridge system of cultiva- ' "? sst,+ 11 uon, x>iiur puiuw . Callihan has been following a two-year crop rotation, planting tobacco and cowpeas one year and cotton and abruzzi rye the next. The peas find the rye are turned under for soil-building. ( ANOTHER UTILITY BOGYMAN t BITES THE DUST , (The Philadelphia Record) One of the favorite horror 1 stories with which certain utility holding companies cry themselves j to sleep every night is the dread- . ful yarn of how Uncle Sam j ruined the utility business by!* building TVA and other projects 1 that created "excess" capacity. I In a world of women who still 1 scrub by hand and still work 1 their bristle brooms over their rugs, the companies profess to 1 see the danger of too much pow- 1 er production should the new < PWA projects be completed. Thus Wendell L. Wilkie, presi- * dent of the Commonwealth and 1 Southern Corporation, said in a 1 New York speech last January: ' "It will take years to use up the 1 present existing generating capa-) city without taking into account f that which is being built, which t will double the present excess." ( Thus the long string of state- I ments in opposition to the Presi- J * dent's power program, citing! "duplication of existing facilities" ic and "direct government competi- I * tion." j * But from now on Mr. Wilkie * and his colleagues can rest more s easily. c The Federal Power Commission j reports that "the supposed sur- ] plus of electric generating capa- i city in the United States" is a! 1 myth; that construction of plants j with 3,000,000 kilowatt capacity | is "imperative" and that present ] plants would not supply normal business needs should depression J end. In case of war, the commis- ! sion declares, we would be faced | ' with a serious shortage. The holding companies in the i TVA area have their own private definition of "excess facilities." | Excess facilities are those that threaten to give the public a decent break on electric rates. CONTROL FLOWER PESTS WITH SPRAYS OB DUSTS , Contrary to the general belief, insect pests on flower gardens are not a necessary evil from which there is no relief, says C. H. Brannon, extension entomologist at State College. Although there are a few pests for which no satisfactory control method has been developed, he points out, most of them can be eradicated by application of inexpensive sprays or dusts. Sucking insects, which draw their nourishment from inside the plant, must be treated with a poison that kills when it comes in contact with their skin. Plant lice, aphids, thrips, and scale insects fall in this group. Chewing insects, which eat the leaves or small stems, may be I eradicated by a stomach poison. I j When they eat the poison, death j follows in a short time. Caterpillars, leaf eating beetles, and grass-hoppers are among the chewing insects. For sucking insects, Brannon recommends a spray with one and a half teaspoonful of nicotine 1LOT, SOUTHPORT, NORT1 SUMMONED BY A KING ylt"" VH|M|| j Slender fingers of this San Dieg< J woman surgeon, wielding a tin; knife with watch spring precision I may save the eyesight of the king I of Slam.

For chewing insects, he recommends a spray composed of three teaspoonsful of arsenate of lead j to a gallon of water. Or a dust t may be prepared by mixing one j part of arsenate of lead with four md a half parts of hydrated lime, yr one part of magnesium arsenste to three parts of hydrated | lime. These mixtures are safe for lelicate plants and bright colorid flowers, Brannon says. Tough-1 ;r plants will not be injured by I i slichtlv stronger mixture of the ! foregoing sprays or dusts. KEEP BROODERS CLEAN TO SAVE BABY CHICKS Protecting baby chicks from :occidiosis in the spring will go J i long way toward reducing their ieath rate, says Roy S. Dearityne, head of the State College >oultry department. The chicks are infected by ricking up the tiny eggs of the mrasite which causes the dis:ase, Dearstyne says. The eggs ire frequently found on the jround and in the brooder house when older birds of the flock lave been infected. To control the disease, he rec>mmends that all infected chicks >e killed and burned or buried leeply. Thoroughly clean out the itter or sand from the brooder louse at least every other day ind replace with clean dry sand ibout one third of an inch deep. Continue this frequent cleaning intil the disease is checked. Feeding and drinking containirs should be sterilized every few iays with boiling water, since orlinary disinfectants are of no iractical value on controlling his disease, Dearstyne points out. If the weather is not too hot, :onfine the chicks to the brooder louse for at least seven days to :eep them from picking up coccilial eggs from the ground outlide the house where diseased | :hicks may have ranged. Meanwhile, plow or spade the | jt " 1 1 * NOTARY I have received my c< PUBLIC from Governor the Brunswick County and will be glad to sei*\ Your Business will WATERS T] SOUTHPO +"?m m 1 ? ? ? antxxxxmcmtJotgxMX; 1 Sandwic I!
