We have no financial interest in any of our beaohes. This is written purely from the stand point of one who realizes that for the areas they embrace the beaches of Brunswick county and the development of resorts is do ing more than anything else to increase the volume of taxable property in Brunswick county. Take Long Beach, for example. About eight or nine years ago the whole of Long Beach was on the tax bcoks at four or five thousand dollars. Now the taxable property runs close to half a million dollars. Farming in Brunswick has made great strides during the last de cade. Back in the 1930's the aver age production of corn per acre was 10 to 15 bushels less than it is now. In those days farmers averaged only 860 pounds of to bacco per acre, now they aver age 1180 pounds. That poundage taken with the diffenence in prices means a whole lot more money. In 1 fact, an acre of tobacco in now worth several times what it was worth a little over ten years ago. ' The real reason for the great increase in production is not more i extensive use of fertilizers or in-| tensive cultivation. According to County Agent Dodson, the grow-' ing of lespedeza and the turning under of humus crops under the government farm practices deser ves more credit than anything else. It used to be that a man could prepare lands for planting, with a couple of mules and a disc harrow. Now it takes tractors and discs, far too heavy for mules, to handle the humus filled land and Incorporate into it still more green vegetation for the making of humus. , Instead of the great area of worn out and almost worthless lands on which our farmers were trying to produce crops a little over a decade ago, they are now making more on fewer acres and those acres have been brought up to a state of wonderful pro duction through the introduction of humus, via the government acres, in some cases, are making j lands for new farmers. Still more; of it is producing a very valuable J wood crop. Just a day or two ago j we were told of one Brunswick J farmer who had set out an acre in young pine trees. On thousands' of other acres the trees have sprung up of their own accord. At this season of the year to bacco growers are not entirely in agreement with each other. Some of them prefer to leave their tobacco stalks standing in the field until they get ready to plow under to plant a cover crop or to start preparing the land for next year. Others run their stalk cut ters in the field just as soon as the crop of tobacco is harvested. These growers say that when they are cut down these green stalks and weeds cease to draw fertilizer from the land. Likewise they cease to furnish feed and a place of refuge for worms and insects that will make trouble for n$xt years crop. Hundreds of sportsmen came in last winter for the fishing: offered by the rockfish In Town Creek and Lockwooda Folly river. Ac commodations were difficult to get by those coming from a dis tance. Thla winter, for the sport fishermen, hunters and yachts men stopping at Holden Beach Dr. R. H. Holden will have a fine little inn open all winter. The place is now about completed and will hav# eight large, airy bed rooms upstairs. Downstairs fs the large dining room and smaller private dining rooms, kitchen and rest rooms. The building has four bathrooms and additional showers and dressing rooms will be construated outside for bath ers.. The place will be open early in September and will keep open the year-round. We will appreciate it if all Brunswick county hunters, who have two or more dogs and who take out parties from distant points will list themselves and the number and kind of dogs they have. This week parties in Ash land, Kentucky, wrote asking about bunting: guides and dogs. We often receive such inquiries and to more readily answer them it is planned to make a list of all available guides, their dogs and the kind of in for.
