Some Brunswick County
Farmers Will Produce As
Good Crop As They Have
Ever Made This Year
According To Mr. Dodson
DDnmrriNr rnnn
r i\v/i/wiii vi vjwjl*
QUALITY TOBACCO
Brunswick County Farmers
Produced Approximately
$350,000 Worth Of Tobacco
Last Year At
Good Average
County Agent J. E. Dodson, in
Southport Tuesday on business,
declared that prospects are good
for a fine tobacco crop in Brunswick
county this season. "Many
farmers," he said, "will produce
a crop as good as they have ever
grown."
Last year a total of $350,000
worth of tobacco was sold by
farmers from this county at an
average of around $20 per hundred.
That price was above the
general market average, and it
appears that Brunswick county
farmers may expect good prices
again this year, for reports have
it that good quality tobacco is
being produced.
In some communities, however,
there is trouble just now from
hornworm and flea beetle infes- .
tation. Mr. Dodson gives the following
directions for a mixture
to be used as a spray in successfully
combatting these insect
pests: !
Use 1 part paris green to 5 ;
parts of arsenate of lead, two
pounds of the above mixture to
each 50 gallons of water will!1
form a deadly poison. ]

SOUTHPORT CITIZEN
OWNS ANCIENT COI
Alderman J. YV. McKeitha
of Southport, owns that
probably the oldest I iece i
money in Brunswick count
nerhans in the state. The co;
is of copper or brass and i
monetary value at the time
was coined is not exactly ce
tain, although it bears the fij
ure 1 in the center of 01
side.
The coin has never suffer*
from rust, all inscriptions ai
still as plain as they were t
the day when it was turn*
out from the mint or what e'
er they turned it out froi
On one side the inscripti*
somewhat resembles Chinei
writing, on the other in go*
bold type are the print*
words, "Sultanate of Brunei
in a circle and at the botto
of the circle is the very di
tinct date of 1304.
This would make the co
632 years of age. There cj
be no mistaking of the fi

and legible for that. Mr. M
Keithan obtained the interes
ing coin from a man on a tu
boat many years ago.

MANY GOOD CATCHES
SHRIMP THIS WEEK
The long waited appearance
of shrimp in large quantities
off Southport took place this
week as several boats reported
good catches Monday. The
high boat for the day had 22
bushels, and there were three
others with 20 bushels.
These early shrimp are of
mixed size, and will not commnnii
a ton nrice on the New
York market. At least one
local dealer was paying $1.50
per bushel for the shrimp on
1 Monday.
Encouraged by reports of
shrimp being caught, other
boats were out Tuesday. No
definite report of their success
was available, although it
was said that one boat came
in with a load larger than any
of those of the preceding day.
