PAGE TWO THE BEAUFORl A Eft's BEAUFORT, N. 0. Thursday, April 8. I9a7) Carteret County Sports By J. W. STEWART " rr There remains six weeks of school. In that short space of time many ivents are listed on the school cal endar. Baseball has already started. Then there is thj annual May uay program, a series of jur.ior-senijr ban queU, ela:s p'ay. and finally t'nero the preparation ot those materials dt-a-to every gra-ua: v the class poem, val edictory speech ti ti-1 class prophesy. a. fcrfw far- al said Lefore, a!l ot these are to be ac- Stewart complishcd in the next six weeks. It can be noted that a few lessons and exams will be sandwiched between these activities. To some this is the end of their scholastic pursuits, so lets not be too harsh and say that we believe it is a bunch of tomfoolery and should be eliminated. FIELD DAY Several days ago at a meeting of the principals it was decided not to have the annual field day as has been the custom in the p ist. smy: ak Smyrna will n;. have a baseball team this year. BEAUFORT The Beaufort baseball team this year is not up to the standard of a few years back. Like in all sports, there are certain seasons when a group of first class material is pro duced at a school and during this time game after game is won. Then graduation comes along and wipe3 the slate almost clean, leaving only one or two of the former winning combination to represent and carry on for the school. A new group ha? to be trained and during this train ing period many losses occur in com petition. Most of the time the coach catches it in the neck and sometimes loses his job although when ths sit uation is analyzed he is not to blam having done as good a job as prpviou- ly. Beaufort will miss the pitching of George Brooks and Roland Lon.srtst and the catching of Kd Potter. Beaufort has engaged two teams in baseball this season. The first game was played against Atlantic at Atlantic. Atlantic was the victor by j a score of 6 to 4. In the second game Beaufortp layed Newport an J emerged victor by a score of 13 ti 2. Beaufort had for its pitcher in both games West Taylor. Russell pitched two innings for Beaufort in its game against Newport. MOREHEAD Morehead has played only one game Beaufort played Newport and that was against Atlantic. Morehead won by a score of 16 to 2. The line up for each team is as follows: Morehead Skin Jones ss Dick Swindell 2b Jay S. Williams lb Mondell Salter c March Weather Was Delightful On Coast Carteret's coast experienced some real Gulf Stream weather during the month of March, without the accus tomed blows and unpleasantries some times occurring during the "windy month.' Temperatures in Beaufort were pleasant Spring temperatures. Much activity was noted on the farms of the county where pieparations are being made for leasonal crops.

Seeloy, Carteret's representative to the legislature. Mr. Seeley gave those present his view point of the work of our legislative body with special reference to the lower house. He gave some informa tion regarding thep roblems con fronting the various committees and the prospect of salary increases for the teachers during the next ton years.

An invitation was offered by Mr. Gaskill, principal of ' the Smyrna School, to the club to hold its next meeting, which will also be the last of the season, at the school.

Better Cotton Would Bring Higher Prices RALEIGH, Apr. 7 North Caroli na fan.u-rs could get more for their cot.v.n .f they wou!.l produce the type of lint for which the demand is greatest, said P. H. Kime, of the N. C. Agricultural Experiment Station. Much of the State's crop is 7-8 inch or less in staple length, anl there is very little demand for this cotton in the United States or a broad, he stated. The Inegths in greatest demand are from 15-16 to 1 1-16 inches in staple length, Kime pointed cut, and the varieties producing the highest yield3 and the best quality fiber in this State produce these staple lengths. To get the full advantage of high er prices for better evtton, he con tinued, farmers in entire communi ties will need to "standardize" then cotton that is, produce cotton of a bout the same type and staple length. Many buyers still purchase their lint in hog-round lots, paying about the same price for short and long staple cotton in a community. But if all the cotton offered in a communi ty is of good quality and long staple, the average price paid will be high er. Kime has prepared two circulars designed to help farmers improve their cotton crop. Both may be ob tained free from C. B. Williams, head of the agronomy department at State College, Raleigh. One is agrronomy information circular No. 105, "Rasults of Cotton Variety Experiments." The other U agronomy information circular No. 106, "Important Factors in Cotton Growing in North Carolina.' Locust Trees Reclaim Gullied, Barren Land Raleigh April 7 A field so run down and gullied that it could not be reclaimed with black locust tro.-.i would be hard to find, said Rufus H. Page, Jr., assistant entension forest er College at State College. These leguminous trees he said not only hold the soil in place, they also add nitrogen and organic mat ter to the land. Millions of acres of North Carolin i farm land, he continued, are unsuit.-d j to cultivation in row crops or e. '. pastures, yet will produce good yivil . j ot timber if given the chance. Reforestation has a definite place in soil conservation, he pointed out, and this spring is a good time to get. started. Trees check sheet and gully er osion where they are growing and help slow the run-off of water on o i jacent slopes, and they will stait a profitable crop on land from which the topsoil is gone. Under the 1937 soil-conservation program, Page pointed out, payments of $7.50 an acre will be made to farm ers who reforest land from which a Don't be an Ostrich . . .
