Work For Welfare
Of Farming
The Brunswick Farm Bureau,
I a part of the American Farm
i Bureau Federation, is now attracting
the interest of Brunswick
county farmers and business
men. Indications are that
in a very short time this organization
will have largest county
membership ever held by any organization
in Brunswick.
In the neighboring county of
Columbus more than three ihou-'
! sand farmers and business men
; have joined the Farm Bureau in j
1 a very short time. In practically;
every county in the state growth |
of the organization is proceeding ,
i in a like rapid manner. The Amer-1
ican Farm Bureau Federation, as
a National Organization, is able
to show a vast series of accomplishments
covering the war
times. In peace times its usefulness
should be even greater. For 1
once in the history of farming!
the farmers are all getting together
to work together. 1
Next Wednesday night, at the.

Gen. MacArthur
Led The Fleet
The General Douglas ."MacArthur,
one of the big shrimp
trawlers of Hardee and Pigott,
with Ronie Smith, colored,
its captain, led all boats
of the five shirmp fleets with
its catch this week. The General
Douglas ^MacArthur
brought in 2S6 bushels of
shrimp and this, at $4.50 per
bushel, plus accompanying
fish, brought the boat owners
and three man crew just a
little under eleven hundred
dollars.
The General Douglas MacArthur
also led all boats
with a single day's catch of
74 bushels.
Able to fish every day, all
boats did well. The pay off
on Saturday saw many thousands
of dollars going into
the hands of boat owners and
crews.
To Consolidate

Board Will Merge With
Wilmington Board By
November 15 th
The ' Brunswick County War
3rice and Rationing Board will
>e consolidated with the Wilming;on
board sometime between the
irst and fifteenth of November,
iccording to members of the local
ward. Orders to this effect were
nade some time ago and are in
iccordance with the general decease
of rationed articles.
The large number of offices in
he state will be reduced to less
han one third the present num)er
through the consolidation of
various county and city boards,
tt is said that the first of the
/ear will also see the number of
vorkers in these consolidated offices
greatly decreased from the
present number.
Consolidation of the local office
vith Wilmington means that
3runswick county people will
lave to go to Wilmington for
my business they may have with
ation boards.
Baked Beans In

ren Thousand Cans Of
Beans And Valuable
Truck Destroyed In Fire
At Shallotte Saturday
Night
Ten thousand cans of baked
jeans, belonging to T. H. Phillips
>f Stafford. Delaware, were com
jletely destroyed by fire on the
lighway in Shallotte, Saturday
light. Along with the beans the
;en-wheeler Chevrolet truck, in
vhich they were being transportid,
was completely destroyed.
State Highway Patrolman C.
I. Fergus, who investigated the
iccident, said the truck caught
'ire somewhere about the rear
vheels and the driver was not
iware of the fire until it was
:oo late for the machine to be
iriven off the highway. The
patrolman states that the truck
done was valued at fifteen thousand
dollars. No information is
lvailable as to the value of the
:argo of beans.
Plenty Of Drum
On The Island
Dr. William Dosher and Mr.
Stewart, of Wilmington, Postmaster
L. T. Yaskell of Southport
and Mr. Lewis, caretaker on
Bald Head Island, ran into some
mighty good surf drum fishing
in the island Sunday. They
caught about 20 of the big fellows,
ranging in weight from 35
to 40 pounds each, in a very
short time.
The postmaster says they quit
simply because they had such a
pile of fish they didn't know what
to do with them. Besides, they
were exhausted from pulling the
big fellows out. Many other parties
have had like luck on the
island this year.
ON VACATION
Dr. and Mrs. L. C. Fergus are
spending a two weeks vacation
in New York and Pennsylvania.
Dr. Fergus' practice is being
looked after during his absence
by Dr. M. M. Rosenbaum, of
Shallotte, who recently returned
from four years service with the
A.rmy Medical Corps.

Average Gains Of Almos

Grazing pigs on soybean
brought average gains of almos
one-half pound per day this sum

gains for Onslow County growers
according to County Agen
Charlie C. Clark, Jr., of the Stat
College Extension Service.
J. H. Gillette placed 25 pig
on 10 acres of soybeans on Jul;
23 at his Silverdale Farm. The;
weighed 83 pounds a piece whei
placed on the grazing and thirty
six days later their averag
weight was 99 !& pounds. The;
received only a small amount o
corn each day and a minera
supplement.
Raymond Oldham near Swans
boro placed forty-seven pigs oi
soybeans at an average weight o
38 pounds per head and thei
average gain was .45 pounds pe
head per day. They receivei
three-fourths of a pound of I
grain ration per day, consistini
of one-half oats and one-hal
corn.
"Both of these farmers ar
well pleased with the grains ob

they plan to increase their graz

^r. P. KFZIAIf
According to both Count
j Agent Dodson and our own ot
servations, farmers are gettin
I off to a late start with th
sowing of small grains this ycai
Three things may be said to b
mainly responsible for this. Ther
has been the continued rain:
making the soil on most farm
I too wet to work; the shortage c
I farm labor and the fact tha
there is so much gruss and week
in the fields. This resulting fror
! the excessive rains. It is a trai
| tor job to get this grass an
weeds cut up and plowed unde
in readiness for the grain cro]
! Most farmers are now workin
| at the task.
We had not known it until th
County Agent advised us that i
Brunswick county the sweet pc
tato crop, in its returns for th
labor, land and. time, compare
favorably with tobacco as a cos
&
ir that have been killed in Bruns- 11

The Brunswick County Chapter
Ameiican Red Cross held its annual
meeting here Friday afternoon
in the office of Mrs. Grace
P. Ruark, executive secretary.
The matter of officers for the
coming year came up for consideration
and with only one or
two exceptions, due to resignations
and other unavoidable
causes, all old officers were reelected.
The organization is now
as follows:
Miss Annie Mae Woodside,
Chairman; Mrs. Frank Niernsee,
Vice-Chairman; Mrs. C. Ed Taylar,
Chaiiman of Production anJ |
V. S. S.; Rev. A. L. Brown, Chairman

Cross; Mrs. Lizzie Biunson, Chairman
Nurses' Aid; Mrs. LeRoy
Fergus, Disaster Chairman; (To
be yet named-Chairman Home
Nursing); J. J. Loughlin, Chairman
Home Service.
Members at large are: Mrs.
Rossie Holmes, Leland; Mrs.
Hazel Purvis, Ash; Mrs. Foster
Mintz, Bolivia; Mrs. Fred Mintz,
Shallotte; Mrs. Dave Bennett, *
Longwood; Mrs, Sam Bennett,

Mrs. James Harper, Publicity i I j
Chairman; Mrs. Grace K. Dosher, $ r|
Chairman Camp and Hospital
Council; Miss Louise Rees, Sc- .'
cretary-Treasurer. Mrs. Grace
P. Ruark, Executive Secretary.
One of the matters being j. PJ
stressed by the Red Cross at
present is that the executive se- j,
cretary is ready to assist all
veterans who apply to her in the
matter of filing claims and all
matters pertaining to their service.
The organization is still '
also very active in making contact
with and aiding local men
who are still in service.
During the war a great worlt i
was done by the local Chapter, . '
as well as by the whole national
organization. With the end of
the war there is no diminishing
of the size o fthe field in which
the organization can and will
serve. At the Friday meeting,
Mrs. Ruark read a long letter
from the Southeastern Area headquarters,
detailing the various
fieldse in which the organization
was useful during war times and
outlining future work.

Looks Older But

Brunswick Veteran Of Bataan
Is Now At Home
And Bears Little Evidence
Of Japanese Prison
Said to be looking very much
older, but otherwise strong and
bearing little evidence of hard
usage. Lassiter Harvell, son of
Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Harvell, ^
reached his home near Bolivia !
last week after more than four
years in the Pacific. The la3t
three years and several months,
every since the fall of Bataan,
he has been an inmate of a Japanese
prison camp.
Except for the terrible Death
March that followed Bataan, it is
understood this young Brunswick
man was in a Japanese camp
where prisoners were treated a
little more humanly than in other
camps. Young Harvell is said to
actually weigh more than when
he left home over four years ago.
However, several pounds of this
