Publicity For Caswell Grows Newspaper Clippings Begin J To Come In Showing J Wide-Spread Distribution ! Of Pictures The sale of Fort Caswell to the North Carolina Baptists for a summer assembly fs looming up to become the biggest thing in the way of publicity that Southport and Brunswick county has ever received. The State News Bureau, with a local man cooperating, has been that hundreds of newspapers throughout the county have reciv cd pictures of Fort Caswell and scenes there, mostly pictures of the mineral water bathing pools. During the past week W. B. Keziah has been getting a flood of clippings from newspaper that used the pictures. The clippings are still coming in. To show a sample of the widespread distri bution, a few of the papers from which clippings have been re ceived are as follows: Mt. Vernon, 111., Register-News; Stanford, Conn., Advocate; Clover ville, N. Y., Leader-Republican; Boston, Mass., Enterprise and Times; Winona, Minn., Republi can-Herald; New Haven, Conn., Journal, Courier and Times; Athol, Mass., News; Watertown, N. Y., Times; Malone, N. Y., Tele gram; Kankakee, 111., Journal; Bismark, North Dakota, Tri bune; Gardner, Mass., News; Batavia, N. Y., News; Christian Science Monitor, Boston, Mass.. At the rate at which they are coming in it seems as if clippings will arrive from a hundred other newspopers before the end of the week. | Yesterday Mr. Keziah received a letter from a prominent resi- , dent of Charlotte, who stated he would be here soon. In part, he said: "Can you put me in touch with a real estate agent who has a lot or lots for sale, in or near Fort Caswell, where the North Carolina Baptists reecntly pur A Closeup Of Festival Queen ~W~ Here is a closeup of Miss Nora Dean Parker of Lumberton who was selected as queen of the 1949 Tobacco Festival here Friday night.

I am anxious to buy there or something at Southport, suit able for year-round home." During the two years the Bap tists have occupied Fort Fished under a lease a number of leading Baptists from throughout the j State bought lots and built homes j there. The outrignt purchase of j Fort Caswell, its attractiveness j and the plans for permancy will undoubtedly result in attracting a great number of home owners to Southport and ail along the Brunswick coastal county.

Kerr Scott de- 1 clared in a statement released by the North Carolina Farm Bureau Federation that "every farmer and every business man j dealing with farmers owes it to himself and his community to , become a member of this splendid 1 organization." In support of the State Farm ' Bureaus's Annual Membership Drive which begins September 1 with a minimum quota of 80,000 members, the Governor said fur- ; ther: "The Farm Bureau has been gaining steadily in strength and constructive influence in North Carolina and the Nation. Here in our own state its membership has climbed from 1,726 to more than 78,000 since- 1940." "Political leaders and public officials," Governor Scott said, j "have learned to respect the Farm Bureau and to depend upon its voice as an expression of farmers' opinion." ?Once a member, he added, everyone should take part in Farm Bureau's activities, "for it is only through the participation of its members that the organiza tion can accurately leflect their hope and aspirations," "Recent developments emphasize the importance of farmers' having I an organized front to fight for their well-being," the governor said. "Prices for farm products have been dropping faster than production costs, and for some months the former's share of the food dollar has been steadily de- ' clining. | "Meanwhile, mounting surpluses in some commodities point to ' the likelihood of more stringent , crop controls next year." I Governor Scott added that it is becoming increasingly appar ent that we are going through a period of major adjustments. ' Policies now being formed, he said, will affect agriculture's fu ture share of the national in come for a long time to come. | "The problems confronting us in this period of change are to big foi; the individual farmer to tackle," the Governor said. "Alone, he is helpless in the face of dverpowering currents. Band ed together with other fanners in an organization such as the Bureau Federation, he can ex ercise a strong influence in shap ing national policies and contend effectively for his rightful place in the economic sun." Many Dependent On Timberlands (By Joe Herlevlch, District Forester) Since approximately 78 per cent of Columbus County is in forest land, there is no reason j why the citizens of this County) should not be very* conscious of that fact that many families throughout our county are depen dent upon our forestry products, and wood using plants for a liv ing. In order for us to Keep the for est land of Columbus County at j maximum production, we must 1 practice good forest management, i good utilition, and keep the com- ! mon ?nemy, FOREST FIRES ati a mimimum. We are still faced with a hous- I ing shortage, not only in Colum--J bus County, but throughout the entire country; so, in order to supply the present need and take care of our future needs, we must . obtain as nearly as possible what is known as Sustained yield (grow timber as fast as we use it). During last fiscal year, 5,221 acres of forest land burned in Columbus County, which resulted in great damage to our young and growing trees. 90 per cent of these fires are caused Ijy man, and usually through negligence. If we would take as much in terest in our forest as we do in other crops, there would be few fires and little damage to forest lands. Tour tlmberland should be har vested very similiar to the way you harvest other farm crops. Cut your trees when they become mature, or need to be thinned out in order to give the better species to grow. This may mean a few loads of pulpwood cut during the winter, or a few saw logs. There is enough labor around most farms to do this work during the winter months. The real opportunity of adding to the national wood pile through good forestry management is knocking at the door of every Columbus County farmer. What are you going to do about it? In Columbus County, tnere Is a Farm Forester who is ready to work with you any time concern ing your woodland management. Mr. D. E.
