North Carolina school children probably
will give their enthusiastic approval
to any step taken by the state authorities
to postpone the opening of the public
schools because of the epidemic of infantile
paralysis.
A Good Start
Tobacco markets of the Border Belt
opened last Thursday and farmers generaly
were highly pleased with the prices
received. Warehousemen in every town in
the belt are very optimistic over the prospects
for a successful season.
This is good news to business men in
this section, for it is a well known fact
that farmers share their prosperity?that
when they have money, they spend it.
For the second consecutive year this
section has been blessed with seasons
that made it possible to produce good
crops that are bringing good prices, and
it would be a hard matter, indeed, to convince
Brunswick county tobacco farmers
that there has been no improvement in
business conditions.
Wise Decision
Announcement was made this week
by members of the Southport Woman's
Club that plans for a Brunswick County
Fair, to be held here during the latter
part of October, had been abandoned for
this year. This action was taken in an
effort to prevent the further spread of
infantile paralysis in this county.
Their consideration of the health problems
of the citizens of this section shows
a spirit of unselfishness on the part of
the club women. However, the promotion
of a creditable agricultural fair is an ambitious
undertaking and one that calls for
i much planning and careful management,
Constructive steps that already have been
taken will serve as a valuable foundation
for a later fair. We believe that the
ladies were wise to give up their plans
for this year.
Using The River
The second lock and dam on the uppei
Cape Fear near Elizabethtown has beer
recently opened to navigation and th<
third lock and dam near Tollar's Land
ing probably will be opened within the
next few days, according to announce
ment by district engineers.
With the completion of these two locks
the river will be navigable as far a
Fayetteville for small boats and barges
Much freight is expected to be handle<
over this route.
The most practical vessel for uppe
river transportation will be a barge, ac
cording to freight experts who know th<
river. One of the leading oil companies al
ready is considering plans to haul gaso
line up the river in this manner, usinj
Fayetteville as a distribution point.
This idea, it seems to us, links in nicel;
with efforts that are being made to sec
ure a port terminal development at South
port. Plans for using barges for rive
transporation are being considered be
cause of the lower freight rates whicl
it
THE STATE PORT
Ithey will make possible. For any increas
J ed distance in the barge line, there woul
" be a corresponding decrease in cost o
"| transportation.
With harbor facilities that are un
1 matched in North Carolina, it is time tha
. citizens in the central part of the stat
) were given the benefit of lower freigh
)!rates that would result from the construe
}!tion of a port terminal at Southport.

Choice Of Routes
I
We are convinced that prospects ar
better now than they have ever been fo
' a project to hardsurface state highwa;
number 130 from the Columbus count;
! line to an intersection with highwa;
number 30.
The survey which has been conducte<
j during the past few weeks to determine
'the most practical route for the roac
soon will be completed and facts anc
j figures obtained will be submitted to th<
I State Highway Commission in Raleigh,
j Local dissention over the choice of pos*
A
| sible routes appears now to oe tne mosi
dangerous stumbling block in the path
of the project. That is the opinion of P.
A. Genns, engineer in charge of the survey.
We were talking to him last week
about the road. "The people should
leave the choice of routes up to the Highway
Commission," he said. "When that
has been determined, they should all pull
together for the completion of the road.
Later, if there is need of another road,
they should get together and all of them
ask for that. The State Highway Commission
has no time to hear long disputes
to determine whose house the road will
run by. While the argument is going on,
money available for the project will be
spent somewhere else and they will all
have to wait."

badly to allow selfish community interests
to cause further delay. The choice of
routes should be left entirely with the
Highway Commission.
The County Agent
Farmers are once more in position to
appreciate the full #alue of the tobaccc
program of the Agricultural Adjustmenl
Administration. They realize that theii
co-operation under the provisions of th<
program are largely responsible for th<
present satisfactory prices being receivec
for this crop.
The key man in the AAA progran
since its very beginning has been th<
county agent. It has been his responsibil
ity to see that there was an understand
ing between the governmental authoritie
and the farmers. It has been his job t<
see that the farmers got a square dea
and to see that they, in turn, lived up to
their agreement.
Throughout this period, Brunswicl
county has been very fortunate in havini
. as county agent a man who was himsel
a farmer, and who, therefore, understooi
farmer's problems. J. E. Dodson has mad
a fine record as county agent and Bruns
. wick county farmers are everlastingly in
. debted to him for the local success of th
AAA program.
! No one is in better position to kno\
j the fine work accomplished by these me
, than C. W. Warburton, director of exten
5 sion work for the United States, who i
in charge of all the county agents. Fol
