They netted eleven hundred pounds of fine roe mullets in a short time. The Rovin' Reporter It has often been said that the shortest distances is a straight line i between* two points. It is a literal j truth that the shortest and quick jest way to ruin warm land is to i plow rows or straight lines up j and down a sloping field. Such | plowing or cultivation may permit i water to flow off quickly, but such | quick, unchecked flows carry with jit all of the lighter and more val uable humus in the soil. On much I of the flit lands of Brunswick ! neither terracing nor the arrange iment of rows to prevent washing I are needed. However, there are I hundreds of fields that slope heavi ly and where terracing and the arrangement of rows to run with the terraces are of great advant age. We have recently looked over a number of fields on which soil Conservational C. D. Potter has C. W. Davis Co. WHOLESALE GROCER 210-12 N.

It often happens that people anxious to get items in the paper, items that we are very pleased to I get, do not think of writing or | telling us about it until the last1 1 moment. Then they. get hurt and J mad if it does not appera in that issue of the paper. All we can say :is that if spot news comes in at j the last minute it appears in the ! next paper. It may be said here j that spot news is something that 'has just happened and could not ; be'gotten in sooner because it did not happen sooner. It is not spot | news to have a party and then wait 8 or 10 days before reporting it at the last moment before publi cation. In such cases we have to think that if folks concerned in the matter did not think enough of it to report it sooner it could not be very important.

YOUNG FARMER IS (Continued F rum Page One) of the year when they are not needed. Neither one of the animals has been given an ear of corn since last May yet both of them are in pink of condition, thriving on per manent pasture. The pasture, a natural lake and a barn provide water, feed and shelter for both the mules and a nice little herd of cows. Neither the mules nor cows get any special attention, or need it. ?

SEE IT NOW AT Fleming Willys COMPANY 304 N. Second St. WILMINGTON, N. C. HERBERT JOHNSON, SOUTHPORT, N. C.. I One seven-acre tract has been in ! permanent pasture for two years. J It was sown in red top, orchard_ | grass lepedeza, white dutch clo iver and dallis grass. The cows and I mules are off this pasture now and j j grazing on both rye fields and I corn and velvet bean fields. When| 'the cornfields have been stripped I of their feed stuff the farm ani imals will still have about six ; acres In rye and other winter cover j I crops to feed on until late spring. ; I When they will go back to the 7 ; acre permanent pasture and re main there until fall. ! All of the fields give access to the barn and its shelter and since i Mr. Bellamy does not have to J worry about either feeding or i watering his stock, he can go about other fall and winter duties, one of which is veterans farm traning teacher at the Shallotte school, j In addition to the 7-acre well {established permanent pasture he has just sown two additional j acres to take care of the increase lin cows. Heading his herd is a j beautiful 18-months old. registered ! Hereford bull. Mr. Bellamy plans ! to develop a fine beef type of cat ! tie. The bull's sire weighed 2200 ] pounds. | He is following the same rule 1 in hog raising. He gathers enough corn to finish off fattening hogs and hardening them during the last month. During the rest of the time they are on pasture and from it they start hogging, down corn with plent of velvet beans in the field and in adjoining field of pea nuts. Letting the hogs do the pea jnut harvesting is one of the best I ways of adding to the soil rickness, | Mr. Bellamy says. It also saves a 'lot of work. An examination of his corn, soy i bean and peanut fields this week j revealed that his hogs apparently have feed enough to last for weeks, certainly longer than he will want to wait before penning them up for the hardening on corn. Hogs are now worth $21.00 per hundred pounds and this fall Mr. Bellamy SQUARE and R O U N D DANCE SAT.

Next year he will have plenty of feed for a lot more hogs, like wise for a lot more cows. Except for the pasture he never has the same crop in a field two years in succession. The run down lands of two years ago would not be recognized- now and they are headed to become even more fertile. LONGWOOD MAN (Continued from page one) hogs for their own use. Plenty I of poultry is also raised on all sides. The small grain crop is combin ed. The lower grade is sold for feed and the better product sold or used as sed. He has recently sold several thousand of bushels of seed oats from the crop har vested last spring. The 60 acres of tobacco is gen erally tops in production. Like wise the quality is such as to maks it bring the very topg in prices. The sixty acres in cotton gives a good account of itself in the money it brings at marketing times. With 400 acres in corn this past year Mr. .Gwynn counted on getting into the 100 bushel per acre class with all of it There were good indications of his rea ching this goal until a spell of dry weather came along at a critical time. His acreage did not make the 100 buahel caasl, still he produced a wonderfu crop and at present prices it has proved a good harvest. With the lespedeza sown over' small grain, another big money crop was harvested in addition to much fertility being given the soil.
