is the experimental farm operat
ed b ythe State Department of
Agriculture and headed by Dr.
Charles Dearing, director.
?The group of sixteen men ar
rived at the station and were met
by Mr. Ferris, who took them
thru the many diffenent pastures.
Improved pastures of ladino
clover and dallis grass give just
about twice as much food as the
ordinary carpet grass pasture of

turing the department twenty
dollars a day clear profit because
it produces such a large amount
j'of high quality food.
I The next stop on the trip was
j the dairy barn. The Jersey herd
I is one of the best in the United
States from the point of milk
production. The ordinary cow
produces three to four thousand
,pounds of milk a year, while
! these well bred, well feed Jerseys
produced ten to twelve thousand
pound9 of milk a year. From
this herd they are selling their
bull calves with high production
ancestry for a very reasonable
price.
Kudzu which produces valua
ble summer grazing, and silage
corn which produces fifteen tons
of succulent green fed to the
I acre which is stored in the silo
and used in the winter time, and
many other feed and hay crops1
were also seen near the dairy
barns.
New varieties of grapes were
then shown in the group, and a
new method of arboring grapes i
on eight wires was explained by)
Professor Williamson. He also
told about the Improved black- j
berries ,the dewberries, the1
youngberries and the raspberries.
Unfortunately, the berry crop
had just been picked in the morn
ing so the group was not able to
taste the ripest berries, but did
sample what some that were left
Arter a Dutch treat of bar
becue in the City of Wallace, two
miles away, the group returned
to the Experiment Station to see j
Mr. Blake, in charge of the gen
eral crops on the station. He
showed the new hybrid soy bean
and the production test plots of
the hybrid corn. He also showed
the work being done with weed
killers like 2-4-D on the corn.
Mr. Blake also told how many
new vraieties of strawberries
have been developed on that stat
ion, and how this year twelve
thousand plants were tested for
color and size and taste, and only
about ten plants will be saved
as improvements over the parent
plants.
One of the most interesting |
phases of the station is the poul
try department headed by Mr.
Bollinger. He has charge of a
large flock of Rhode Island red
chickens which are being bred
for both high egg production and
quality meat. Chicks from this
high producing flock are for sale
to the people of Brunswick coun
ty in the early spring.
Among those on the trip were I
Sherwood Johnson, Earl Boiling,
Bigs Eversole. William Garner,

Mrs. Thompson
Expert Gardener
? ;?
Supply Lady Qualifies For
This Title By Producing
Forty-One Varieties Of
Vegetables In Own Gar
den
Mrs. Earl Thompson of Sup
ply is something of a gardener.
In fact, until other reports are j
received she should be put dow n
as the champion gardner in j
Brunswick County, if not in east- j
ern North Carolina.
In various newspapers in this j
section reports have recently t
been printed telling of this and |
that gardner growing from 1S|
to 31 varieties of garden stuff, j
Mrs. Thompson comes out with a 1
list of 41 varieties, ten more than
were listed in any report lfereto
fore made.
Her varieties of vegetables are
as follows: tomatoes, corn, 2
kinds of turnips, mustard, Swiss
chard, letture, onions, 2 kinds of.
cabbage, beets, strawberries. 2
kinds peppers, Irish potatoes, 3
kinds squash, 2 kinds collards, |
Kent wonders, radishes, 2 kinds (
okra, ca'rrotts, cucumbers, spin- j
ach, 2 kinds bunch butter beans, t
3 kinds pole butter beans, mush
mellons, 2 kinds watermellon,
pumpkins, 3 kinds of peas and 2
kinds of garden peas that have
matured and been pulled up.
Information iloes not say how i
large Mrs. Thompson's garden is, i
but from the above list of vege-'
tables that she is growing it is
very evident that the Thompson
family has not been lacking for
some very succulent meals this
spring and summer.
Cites Fact That
Surf Unpoluted
Myrtle Beach Man Points
Out That Natural Condi- j
tions Make The Beaches
Along Cots Of Brunswick;
Good For Bathing
In this office this week and
talking about Brunswick County's
eastwest coast line and the safe
ty that goes from the gradually
sloping beaches that eliminate
dangerous undertows, D. Stowe
Crouse, prominent realtor of Myr
tle Beach and owner of Ocean
Isle at Gause Lamding, had a
few remarks to make about the
Brunswick beaches.
"You will notice," he said,
"that all of our ocean water mov
es eastward or northward. Waters
that pour from the rivers move
up along the coast. The Wacca
maw river, empying into the
ocean at Georgetown, S. C., is
too far away to pollute our ocean
beaches, even if the Waccamaw
waters were polluted and they
are not. Very little or no sewer
age gets into the Waccamaw".
Continuing, the Myrtle Beach
man said, "Some of the Little
River, S. C? water comes up a
long our beaches. The water from
Shallotte and the Lockwoods
Folly Rivers also flow along some
of our beaches. None of these
streams have a great volumne
of water, none get sewerage and
their waters are not polluted.
"Along with the claims made
about safe bathing beaches in
last weeks issue of the State
Port Pilot you can also add that
these beaches have about the
cleanest and purest bathing waters
of any found anywhere on the
North Carolina coast."
James Maggard, Oscar Parsons,
Alton Potter, and his father.
Jack Potter, Buren Sellers, Floyd
Wescott, William Wescott and
Robert Willetts and their teacher,
J. H. Tinga.
Everyone agreed that it was
a very instructive and enjoyable
trip and all came home with the
idea that farm improvement pra
ctices really pay off in time sav
ed and dollars earned.

UNUSUAL CATCHES
The continued large catches of
menhaden are an unheard of
thing on this part of the coast,
| especially during a spell of such
I sultry weather as has been pre
vailing. The usual thing is for the
fish to scatter into very small
bunches during hot weather. This
makes it difficult for the boats
to make a good catch. In spite
of the present hot weather the
boats have been going out, loading
up and getting back to port in
half a day.
New Resident
Art Graduate
Miss Barbara Hanson Maj
ored In Art At Queens
College Where She Grad
uated This Spring
The artists who visit Southport
each year will hereafter find a
local lady of congenial interest
in Miss Barbara Hanson, who re
cently graduated from Queens
College in Charlotte and is now,
at her home here.
Miss Hanson, an art major, is
very realistic and individualistic
in her handling of oil, water,
colors, pa?tel, etc. In February
of this year she put on the first,
|one-girl art show ever held in,
Charlotte, according to the re
ports in Charlotte newspapers. |
Jin addition to her paintings of!
the beautiful she is also an adept,
at commercial art. She is the eld- j
est of the two Hanson daughters. I
Her sister, Miss Mary Lou, leans i
to music. Edward Hanson, n, the;
one boy of the family, also leans |
to music.
Having recently purchased the i
D. J. Smith residence in South- !
port. Colonel and Mrs. Hanson j
i have moved in from Charlotte
j and are spending much time and
money remodeling and painting
- their new ? home. Owing to his
health Colonel Hanson has re
tired from the practice of law
and is planning to take things
1 easy. He is a brother of Louis'
1 Har.son of Wilmington, owner of
, the Spiritine Chemical company
at Leland, and of David Hanson
j of Long Beach.
GETS THE HAWKS
L. D. Lehew, Shallotte man,
doesn't like hawks. He found out
long ago that too many chicken
hawks meant few chickens. Each l
year when young hawks reach1
the predatory age Mr. Lehew j
sets out with a specially con- |
structed hawk caller and his shot
gun, the objcct being to reduce t
the hawk population. During the
past two months he reports hav- ,
ing killed 17 hawks.
Interesting Week
On Smith Island
Charlotte Boy? Have Good
Time Studying Plants
And Animal Life On
Semi-Tropical I*land
Bill Cromer and David Adams,
Charlotte high school boys in- j
terested in birds, biology and (
kindred subjects, returned to i
Southport Monday night from'
Bald Head Island where they j
spent a week collecting speci
mens?and a very thick coat of
tan.
Interviewed Monday night, the |
boys hooted at the idea of there
being any dangerous snakes on
the island. There may be one
here and there, they said, but
they are very rare. During their
week on the island they were in
the dense Jungle almost contin
uously and during all that time
they only saw three harmless
little snakes.
They say the hogs have eaten
the snakes, If there were any. !
They spotted scores of different'
varieties of birds, some of which1
were rare and which they had
never seen before. In the animal
kingdom they also saw plenty.'
Cromer stated to a newsman that
he had never before seen so
many squirrel*, coons and oppos
luma, They saw these animals
everywhere in the woods, in
broad daylight.
During their stay on the island
they lived in a tent, which they
had carried with them. They
found things nice and comfort
able, having had the good for
tune to pick for their camp a
point on the beach where the
winds blew and kept insects
away.
