MAKE AGREEMENT
FOR EGG STORAGE
Method Sponsored By County
Exchange Should Prove
Helpful
The Carteret County Mutual Ex
change has made arrangements with
the Carolina Egg Company, of Wil
mington, to handle the storage of
eggs for it this year. The Carolina
Egg Company was organized last
year by the financial aid of Ex-Governor
Cameron Morrison to aid the
farmers in getting better prices for
their produce.
This company charges the farmers
fifteen cents a crate per month for
storing the eggs, but it pays the
farmers twenty cents per dozen here
for them. The individual farmers or
the Exchange lets the Egg Company
know when (o sell the eggs for the
greater profit; then all above the
twenty cents a dozen paid the farm
er here when the eggs are shipped to
the company, is paid to the farmer.
This affords the farmers a means of
conserving the Burplus of eggs when
they are selling low until the price
goes up. It is expected that if the
farmers wil Hake advantage of this
opportunity and cooperate with the
exchange that they will profit by it.
"With eggs selling at twenty cents a
dozen here now, they cannot lose
anything by it, says County Agent
Hugh Overstreet.
The Exchange will not take any
eggs over five days old and they
must be clean and uniform in size.
A Mr, Moyer from the Division of
Markets of the State Department of
Agriculture is here today teaching
some of the members of the exchange
how to grade the eggs by candling,
weighing and by color. The egg bus
iness of the Exchange will be handled
in the building formerly occuied bv
the wholesale firm of Hancock and
Hun ley out near the city limits.
A thousand pounds of poultry were
sold yesterday here in Beaufort and
twenty-three hundred pounds in New
, port to Risser and Robinowitz of
j Goldsboro. They paid the farmers
Uwervt5"two cents' a"ydund for color
ed hens and twenty cents for leg
horns. This is the second carload
that has been shipped since Christ
mu ; the first was shipped the latter
pan of January.
Mr. K. W. Wright has loaded two
cars of raddishes this week.
Ll.OYD FENDERSON BROKE
OUT OF JAIL LAST WEEK
Lloyd Fenderson, colored youth,
who is well-known hereabouts for his
numerous escapades wit hthe law,
broke out of jail one day last week.
He was being held until he could be
sent back to the Criminal Insane
Hospital to serve the remainder of a
three year sentence; it was just a
short while ago when he broke out
of the hospital. Fenderson was lock
ed in a room in the local jail with
Mark Washington, also colored and
well known. They were not placed
ina cell but in a room so that they
could keep the fire going. The stap
les were pulled out of the door and
the jailer seemed to think that there
was some outside aid. A search is
being made here and in Morehead
City for Fenderson, because the offi
cers are confident that he is here
abouts. CRABBING SEASON HELD UP
BY UNFAVORABLE WEATHER
Due to the late coming of Spring
the crabbing season has not fully
gotten under way yet. A protract
ed winter usually put off the begin
ning of these crustaceans. The last
few days, however, has-been more fay
orable for the crabbers to get out,
but the rain today has probably put
a temporary stop in their way. More
of the crabs have been shipped lately
than since the season opened several
weeks ago. It is likely that the next
two months will be more favorable
and that large numbers of crabs will
be shipped to northern markets.
Way Brothers and S. W. Davis and
Brother are buying and shipping soft
crabs this year, in addition to Mr,
Preston Lowe, of Crisfield, Md.

ERROR IN ADVERTISEMENT
IS HEREWITH CORRECTED

value of the food by feeding it to
poultry. The advertisement stated
that 10 chicks belonging to Mrs. L. L.
Springle were fed when it should
have said 100 chicks. It also said
that 40 chicks belonging to Miss Fan
nie Simpson were fed and this should
have been 400 chicks. The News re

it.
