So The Farmer
Failed To Co-operate
Farmers of Carteret county
big and small, spoke of price
conditions- iney sougm ieuw
from these conditions. And
Beaufort Business Association
came to their relief by estab
lishing the Auction Market.
Exceptionally good prices pre
vailed at first. This seemed
to interest only the few who
patronized the market and re
ceived the prices. Some of the
big growers of the county who
advocated the market and do
nated towards the establish
ment of same have not been
willing to send one load of
produce through it. Many
farmers came to the market
with a load of produce, estab
lished a price and then sold
the remainder through private
sale thus depriving the Market
of its just dues. Farmers have
continued to sell to truck driv
ers and buyers in the field at
prices below that being offered
att he auction market The
farmers' attitude towards the
market changed the buyers' at
titude towards the market.
Due to the decrease in produce
passing through the market it
has been necessary to dispense
with the services of an inspec
tor, in order that the Market
might not receive a black eye,
so to speak, with the inspection
organization in Raleigh and
Washington, and so that in the
future the Market will have
the full co-operation of these
offices. Unless a different at
titude is shown, and unless you
farmers wish for the Auction
Market to continue, the Bus
iness Association feels that it
will be forced to close the mar
ket after Saturday of this
week. And Mr. Farmer before
you pick all of your tomatoes
you will be receiving as low as
50 cents per bushel for same
and iudcrincr from vour attitude
towards the Auction Market
wViirri was established for vou
you don't even deserve that
low price.
Orchids To Miss
Georeia. Neal
As W. W. would say: "Or
chids to Miss Georgia Neal."
And that is the sentiment of a
email town weekly newspaper
editor who has read from cov
er to cover her booklet. lhe
Old Topsail Inlet, A Story of
Old and New Beaulort, whicn
rolled from the presses this
week. The booklet is not only
illustrated with photographs
of manv ancient and modern
local scenes, but also several
pen and ink sketches by Miss
Neal. An historical story of
Beaufort and her noted citi
zens who helped weave the
history of this town, the state
and the nation written by the
brilliant historian and attar
ney, M. Leslie Davis, is also a
feature of the booklet. It is a
story as only M. Leslie Davis,
the best informed person about
the early days ot this area
could write. The back cover
is illustrated with the photo
graph of an oil painting of a
full-rigged ship under sail by
D. G. Bell, the Morehead City
artist and gift shop operator.
The inside back cover shows
Beaufort and its environs,
from Gulf Stream to Neuse
river-from Edgewater Club to
Cedar Island. To get up such
a booklet is a hard long nob
Miss Neal was assisted in the
work by F. B. Mace. And so
the small town editor not only
says: "Orchids to Miss Neal,"
but to each person who helped
create and publish this inter
esting booklet about Beaufort.

Our Mail Box
A NEW FARM AGENT
To The Editor:
Thru a variety of circumstances
Carteret County has lost Mr. Hugh
Overstreet, its farm agent. Many
have expressed their regret at his
leaving. However, our attention must
now center on the selection of a new
agent.
In looking over the field of those,
who probably are most suited to fill
the position left vacant by Mr. Over
street's departure, we find that Mr.
C. S. Long, who has served as agri
cultural teacher at the Newport
School for several years, is the man
our Commissioners should appoint.
Mr. Long's work in the field in
which he has been engaged has been
most outstandnig. In a recent visit
Congressman Barden expressed high
praise of Mr. Long's work. Mr. Ov
erstreet, likewise, has on various oc
casions spoke highly of Mr. Long.
The farmers of the Eastern sec
tion of the county may not be ac
quainted with Mr. Long and his
work and therefore can not express
themselves, but there is no doubt
but that if the commissioners should
take a poll of the farmers of the
Western section of the county and
especially in Newport and its vicinity
they would find that these farmers
would back Mr. Long one hundred
percent.
Our Commissioners could render
the farmers of this county no bet
ter service than by selectnig Mi.
Long as Carteret's next Farm Agent.
Yours very truly,
J. W. STEWART,
Beaufort, N. C.
Onslow Gets Him
After All
Hugh Overstreet, Carteret county
farm agent for many years announo
ed last week on Friday, after it had
been stated in The Beaufort News,
that "Overstreet
would stick to Car
t e r e t," Ons
low Covnty would
not relieve him
from his agree
ment given on
June 21 that he
would go there a
County agent on
July 1, for the
$250 per year
raise in salary of
fered. On July 23,
the slow moving
Commissioners re
alizing that they
were about to lose a man who Had
through the years meant much for
the agricultural development of the
county, equaled the Onslow offer by
a raise for Overstreet. But their of
fer came too late so today, Hugh
Overstreet becomes the official coun
ty agent of Onslow with headquar
ters in Jacksonville. J. 0. Anthony,
of Lillington formerly county agent
of Harnett is in Carteret temporal -ily
filling the post occupied by Over
street. He was sent here by Dean
Schaub of the N. C. Extension Ser
vice in Raleigh.
