Sr. MOVE FROM PHILADELPHIA Mr. and Mrs. Edward Pan coort have purchased the Mrs. H. M.

Commission and has been trans Trawlers Wait For Cold Spell Boats Rccdv To Co Off Shore For Food i ish 3ui j A re Waiting For Arrival i Of Cold Weather Quite a number of Southport trawlers have been standing by: for a month or longer, waiting j the first cold norther that would I make it worthwhile for them to j get out in the trawing gounds I on the Gulf stream for fish. When j trawling for fish a slightly dif-1 ferent net is used from that with: which shrimp are taken, but while is ,it warm the fish just can not be taken in paying numbers in any sort of a net. W. S. Wells has the New Bed ford, Mass., type of nets for use when his boats start fishing, i Lewis J. Hardee and Paul Fodale have the Jersey type. The three boats of Dallas Pigott are in Florida shrimping until Christ mas. They are to return here then and join the other boats at fishing on the gulf. About the middle of November the five big boats of Lewis J. Hardee planned to go to Florida to shrimp until Christmas. As they were still catching shrimp here the time of departure was put off and the plans to go to Florida are now said to have been entirely abandoned. They will con tinue to shrimp until it gets cold enough to take on their fishing ! rigs. Shrimping Monday these boats averaged 10 bushels the price was said to be $10.00 per bushel, $20.00 per hundred for flounder and lesses prices for cheper fish. Honey Smith, colored skipper of one of the boats, had 12 bushels of shrimp, 90 pounds of large flounder and three or four hun dred pounds of other fish. Several times during the past month the Hardee and other boats, with their crews expect ing that it would turn cold dur ing the night, have loaded up their fishing rigs. Always they would find early the next morn ing that it was still to warm to go to the gulf. ferred from Philadelphia to the ship-lay-in basin on the Bruns wick river. Mrs. Bryant Potter of Southport is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Pancoort and the couple have visited here several times before buying the home. OX THE ROOSEVELT j Douglas L. Causey, apprentice seaman, USN, is now serving aboard the aircraft carrier USS Franklin D. Roosevelt, which is i cruising in the Mediterranean Sea at the present. He is a son of Mr. i and Mrs. K. L. Causey of Shal ! lotte. Asparagus May Be Good Crop Attempt Being Made To In t si est Experiment De partment In Making Trial In This Area No attempt has ever been made to grow asparagus in Brunswick, despite the fact that it grows wild and is of an excellent qual ity in almost every vacant spot throughout the county. Grown like other crops aspara gus produced locally would be ready for the market four or five weeks ahead of the New Jersey product and would therefore com-J mand a better price. ? j Believing that the crop can be grown here very profitably on1 the rich lowlands of which there i are thousands of acres, an at-: tempt is being made to Interest the North Carolina Extension people in this crop. It is believed that all is needed is someone wjth experience in growing the crop. This county has the soil and cli mate. Bald Head island has been sug gested as a possible place for the experiment. It would grow there alright but it would not be neces sary to niake the trial there. It is believed that the atuf*~*>ouM grow in any section of Brunswick county and rich soils are far from being a necessity. the four principal nut crops that Americana eat are almonds,' filberts, walnuts, and pecans.
