There arc a large number of
new and old boats whidh have
been bought by Brunswick county
interests and moved here from
'other states. Among the new boats
| is the very staunch and dependable
Grandma, bought by Captain i
j Herman Stanaland of Shallotte.
I She was built by, and purchased :
(from, the Beach Ship Company in
j Brunswick, Ga. Equipped with aj'
new heavy duty diesel engine, she|
cost $9,500.00. She is fishing for
W. S. Wells, who recently bought
four large Florida and Georgia 1
boats, all diesel engine powered, j
They are the "Dixie Doodle," in
charge of Captain Dewey Hewett,!'
of Supply; the "Mary L.," which 1
is now being operated by Captain
Sam Long, of Supply; the "San J
Jose," with Captain Talmage Var-'
num of Supply now in charge and j
i the "Kinglsey II," with Captain
i Clarence Spencer of Southport as '
; master. j
Still other brand new boats inI
elude a 50-footcr, built for, and
I operated by Captain Lucian Ful- I
jford. of Supply; two new 46I
footers of Captain J. Cheers and
j Captain Herman Fulford of Supply;
and a 42-footer of Captain 1
jEd Caison, also of Supply. It is '
'understood that all four of these I
mew boats will fish for Paul Fo!
dale, as will a new $14,000.00 fif- 1
j ty-six foot diesel powered boat on 1
which Dr. L. C. Fergus is now <
'awaiting delivery from the boat- 1
[yard in St. Augustine, Fla. Cap- '
tain Kenwood Varnum, of Supply, 1
will be in charge of this boat for i
Dr. Fergus, and his half brother, '
Captain Clarence Simmons, will 1
handle the "Carrie M?" A diesel <
powered 46 foot boat which Dr.
Fergus purchased in Hampton, t
Va., several months ago. Fodale
will have quite a number of other t
boats working for him.
The Wells Brothers, Charles and e
Wiley, own practically all of the '
considerable number of boats that c
compose their fleet. Most of these t
craft have been fishing at Rock- c
ville, S. C., for the past several ?
weeks and are understood to be
returning here now. f
Pigott and Hardee own some of
the boats of their fleet, as does
J. A. Arnold. Expected here some g
time next month is the "Augusta p
Ann," owned by Captain Merritt ^
Moore, who has been living in e
Morgan City, La., the past three g
or four years. His boat is one of
the most productive on the Louis- w
iana coast and he is an energetic j v
operator who will add new life to I s
local fishing. He will sell his t]
catches to Pigott and Hardee. n

Lovvorn points out that there
till be a considerable growth of a*
teeds immediately after the lime- . e
tone and fertilizer are applied but
hat they can be kept down by
lowings until a good sod is estab- c
shed. He says that a flowing

iblcs to a headache. ^
Growers will need to provide
upplementary grazing for early I
pring and also for the hot, dry | ^rc
eriods in summer. Small grains say
nd crimson clever make excellent .
pring grazing, while kudzu, Suan
grass, and lespedeza are good m
)r the summer. Bi
"Weeds compete with the bet- I
;r legumes and grasses for mois- I
are and nutrients, thus reducing I
le amount of grazing a pasture I
i capable of providing, and every
asture program should have a
efinite plan for weed control," I
