Florida Boats Returning Here Report Is That Shrimp Boats Which Left Southport Re cently Have Had Indiffer ent Succsss Down South Six Southport boats shrimping in Florida for the past month while awaiting for cold weather that would enable them to start work with the fish out in the | gulf, have not been doing any j bettor than the boats that remain ed here and continued their; shrimping. This past week only 20 boxes shrimp were caught, according to j Dallas Pigolt, who "took three of i his boats to Florida. The other j three local boats down there were the Penny of Captain Merrit Moore and two of the W. S.J Wells boats. All six boats are slated to return to Southport at ithe end of this week. They will ' shrimp and fish offshore until j cold weather strikes then they ' will be with the fleet of big boats that will go to the gulf for fish. Six boats went from her to Florida, but seven will return. Dallas Pigott bought a two-year I old 58 footer the, Royal Flush, while he was there. Coming home I with his other three boats at the | end of this week the Royal Flush will make four big boats that i Mr. Pigott will have ready for [ the cold weather fishing. As things now stand for the! winter fishing, Lewis Hardee will j have five big boats of his own to i go to the gulf and the Penny of I Captain Moore will make a sixth j engaged in production for him. i Dallas Pigott will have four. Paul | Fodale will have three and Bill! Wells will start with three. This| makes some 16 boats ready for the gulf. Bill Wells will have an other large new boat delivered from the yards in Florida early in January. This boat, The Wolfpack will also be in the winter fishing and it is likely that a number of others will get fishing rigs in place of their shrimping outfits. Funeral Services For J. W. Harper Funeral sen-ices for John Wil j liam Harper, 73, formerly of Wil | mington, and well known in i Southport, who died in the United [ States Marine Hospital, Norfolk, ; Va., November 28th after a short j illness, were conducted in the | Chapel of the Sikes Funeral Home, Berkley, Va. by his pas tor, the Reverend J. B. Blount, Tuesday afternoon November 30th at 3 o'clock. Interment, with military hon ors, was in Riverside Memorial Park beside the tomb of his second wife, the Mrs. Emma j Tatum Langley of Virginia, who i died in the early spring of this i year, Mr. Harper is the son of the Debate About Killing Frost Some Reports Are That Sat-i urday's Cold Put Finish-j ing Touches To Growing i Plants In Some Sections The question is still being de ! bated as to whether Brunswick j county has had its first killing !frost of the year. A fairly heavy frost was recorded in most sec tions of the county Saturday i morning, December 11th, but re ! ports from all sections of the county indicate that it was not of J a finishing nature. Green butter bean vines, sweet j potato vines, etc., are still to be j seen. A real killing frost would leave such things blackened and dead for the winter. County Commissioner George B. Ward of Waccamaw township was in Southport Monday and was inclined to think that the Satur day visitation was not a killing I frost. There are a whole lot of j green thinks left, he said. Sunday and Monday brought j almost summer temperatures. No fires were needed even in the very early hours of Monday. | late George W. Harper and Jane Beauford Harper of Greenville I Sound, Wilmington, and nephew i of the late John W. Harper who j was owner and operator of the I Steamboat "Wilmington", which j is well remembered in this sec ! tion of the state. ON A TRANSPORT Edward L. Harvell of Bolivia is now serving as chief quarter master on the transport USS Weiss of the Atlantic fleet. This is a high speed transport. Mr. | Harvell entered the Naval service | on April 14, 1937, and received i his training at the recruit train Read The Want Ads Vet Farm Class Visits Market One of the Veterans Farmer classes of Brunswick County Training School, under the super vision of Pearson Dubar recent ly visited the vegetable research laboratory (Experiment Station) located on Highway No. 17 out from Wilmington. The time spent at the station was filled (with interest as a re sult of the many experiments be ing carried out, and everyone feels sure tjiat this trip will help him to grow better gardens and j market vegetables. The acquain-1 tance of new varieties of vege- [ tables was formed, which are adapted to this area, and the best varieties to plant of those already present. ; The class was particularly proud of the interest shown by Dr. Jenkins and his willingness to cooperate with the group in the future. The following veterans took the trip: Chester Bell, Emmette Bry ant, Alvin Cox, Arthur Gore, Johnnie Gore, Joseph Gore, Boisy Hewett, Goley Hewett, Wesley Hewett, Woodrow Hewett, Joseph Monroe, Norfolk Monroe, William Randolph, Reafer Simmons, Lacell Williams, and Prelow Wilson. VISITING IN FLORIDA Charley Rourk of Bolivia and his brother, Crawford, of South port are spending about ten days in Orlando, Clearwater and St. Petersburg, Fla., with relatives. SUPPLY FARMER (Continued from page one) B. Ward, Jr., of Ash, made 110 bushels per acre. Both of these farmers, like Mr. Roach, used the hybrid corn. Mr. Dodson says that according :to statistics the average yield of | corn in Brunswick county has in-; I creased ten bushels to the acre ! in the past two years. The pro-1 duction this year will undoubtedly show a still greater increase. The increase in acreage production, Mr. Dodson says, is largely due | to the use of legume crops on the j land and better attention being I paid to the crop. WAA APPRAISER HERE (Continued froin raie onei All of the nine batteries are of great historical importance. One of them, Battery Bagley, was de dicated to Ensign Worth Bagley, the first American officer killed in the Spanish-American war. Ensign Bagley was a brother of Mrs. Josephus Daniels of Raleigh. Incidently, Ensign Bagley was an uncle of Jonathan Daniels, who is likely to fill an important part| I in the administration of president | Truman. A direct appeal is being made to Mr. Daniels for aid in seeing that Battery Bagley and other batteries are preserved. | The appraised value of the pro perty to the government will nat ] urally be much less than the i actual worth of the place. Taking | into account the fact that the WAA does not seem to be frown ing on an offer of $120,000 from a group of doctors, except for the fact that their plans will not [ be putting it into full use, it ap I pears that the appraised value will not be above that sum. It has been stated that the State of North Carolina can get the place at 50 per cent of the appraised value. This would in dicate the State can buy in the neighborhood of $60,000.00. DISTRICT AGENT Continued From Page One other things he expressed his satisfaction at what appears to be a greatly increased interest in forestry among the farmers of Brunswick county. He had noted eveidence of in creased interest in the manage ment of woodlands and when it was remarked to him that the county agent believes that the Brunswick woods crop is worth more than all of the others crops, he said, "I want to express my agreement with that." The visitor had also noted with satisfaction the big acre age planted this fall in legumes and small grain. These crops, whereever he had seen them in Brunswick county, were looking wonderful. GROWING PLANTS (Continued from page one) [as a hobby and a business. Orton goes into plant growing in terms of acres. So does the Eastbrook nurseries at .Leland. Mr. Elmore at Bolivia started out as a hobby and now has a com pact little place that produces great numbers of camellias, aza leas and other flowers, all of a high grade. The latest venture in flower growing, so far is known, is here at Pete's Place in Southport. A couple of years or so ago Mr. and Mrs. Larsen began growing flowers at their station, just as a hobby. Now they are produc ing hundreds of young plants yearly in improvised hotbeds. Ap parently they are laying the foun dation for something that may be very profitable to them later on.
