Farmers Doing To Help ^ Brunswick Farmers Have! Responded To Challenge To Produce In Spite Of Hardships HAVE PROSPECTS OF BEST CROPS IN YEARS April And May Saw The Establishment Of A Record Of Continuous Hard Work On Part Of Farm Men And Women Not getting started until well in April because of continuous rains that kept them from the fields, Brunswick county farmers have established an all-time record for continuous heavy work. Today they are looking out on fields of growing tobacco, corn and other crops, all holding promise of producing one of the best crops, if not the best crop, in years. At the beginning of April, with no work done and labor shortage < admittedly acute, it took an I optimist to see anything to come from efforts to produce a crop this year. The ground was sodden and the first of April usually finds much land well prepared for crops and planting well underway. ^ When it did get dry enough to invade the fields with plows, most of the farmers hardly knew where to start. Theirs was a difficult problem, the only answer to it was work, and it was thus that I the problem was met. Both farm t men and farm women fyave work- ( ed steadily during almost every o possible daylight hour. The result i is fine crops, all in fine shape and the work still going on.
