The Beaufort News
Circles The Globe
When Capt. J. Lloyd, master
of the S. S. Waziristan, sailed
from Morehead City for Japan
over two months ago he asked
his friend, the edtior of this
newspaper, to send him copies
of the Beaufort News and pho
tos of the vessel which were
made by Candid Camerman
Charles J. Parker of The News
and Observer. Copies of The
Beaufort News were duly for
warded to Capt. Lloyd in Ja
pan. From there they were for
warded on to his home in Ches
hire, England, a 20,000 mile
trip from Eeaufort, along tha
mail route followed and almost
around the world. Capt. Lloyd's
letter follows:
Dear Mr. Brown:
Many thanks for the copies
of your paper The Beaufort
News which were awaiting me
upon my arrival in Kobe. I
have sent same to my wife in
England, as I know they will
interest her. We had a fine pas
sage to Kobe, taking 38 days
from the Panama Canal. We dis
charged part of our Morehead
City scrap iron there and then
came to Maji and discharged
some more. We are now at this
port which is two miles from
Yowata. The place is full of
ships, and we, of course have
to await our turn. After we
have discharged we are going
to British Columbia to load for
the East coast of U. S. A. Hope
you are o. k. Cherrio and all
the best.
Yours truly,
J. Lloyd, Master
S. S. Wazaristan.

In a letter to Aycock Brown, ed
itor of The Beaufort News, Mrs.
Hannah Bonner of Washington, N.
C, tells about an old English coffe
pot or tea pot of pewter, which was
given to her grand mother the late
Mrs. Hannah Holliday Brown by
Capt. Otway Burns, about 1815 or
16. Mrs. Bonner's grandmother priz
ed the coffee pot highly as Capt
Burns told her that he had taken it
off the table of one of the British
ships captured by him in the War of
1812, when he was commander of
the privateer "Snap-Dragon."
Capt. Burns was a friend of the
Browns who lived in New Bern at
the time. He often visited them al
their home there. Capt. Burns as the
average readers know was a native
of Carteret county. He made a fine
record with his privateer "SnaD-
Dragon" until he and his crew were
finally captured and taken to Black
moor prison in England. Following
tne war they were released and he
returned to Carteret where in later
years he was keeper of a lighthouse.
He died at Portsmouth, on Ocracoke
Inlet, but is buried in Live Oak Cem
etery here where a tomb surmount
ed by a cannon, said to have once

been on his vessel of war, was erect
ed in his honor. This tomb is visited
hundreds of historical interested
tourists each year.
Mrs. Bonner inherited the coffee
pot, but she is grownig old and while
she is loathe to giving it up, she
has decided to offer same for sale.
She wrote the editor of this newspa
per stating that she frequently read
his stories in the News and Obser
ver and asked for any suggestions a
bout disposing of same. It should
be a gem for the collector of histor
ical objects or of pewter.

Spray or Dust Peach
Trees About July 15
RALEIGH, July 7 Spraying or
dusting peaches with sulphur about
the middle of July is essential to
protect the fruit from brown rot,
said Dr. R. F. Poole, plant apthologist
at State College.
He also warned against leaving
soft and decaying peaches around the
packing sheds, as they will produce
large numbers oi spores which will
infect healthy fruit when it is being
packed.
''Build good will among your cus
tomers by protecting your fruit from
rot," Dr. Poole urged.
He also pointed out thta leaf spots
and anthracnose on watermelons, to
matoes, cantaloupes, and lima beans
can be controlled by spraying or
dusting with Bordeaux mixture.
These diseases cause the fruits
and vegetables to mature too early
and be in quality.
bean plants, or egg clusters appear
on the underside of the leaves, Row
ell said the grower should start spray
ing or dusting with derris or cube
root containing rotenone.
Tu make a spray, use dust con
taining 4 per cent rotenone. Mix
1 1-2 pounds of dust with 50 gallons
of water, or 1 1-2 onccs of dust in
3 gallons of water if a smaller quan
tity is desired.
Spray the plants thoroughly at the
rate of 90 to 100 gallons per acre.
To be effective, the spray must recall
the underside of the leaves.
Or if dusting is preferred, use
finely ground derris or cube root
dust containing 3-4 of one per cent
lotenone, making sure that the dust
settles on the underside of the leaves
as well as the rest of the plant. Ap
ply dust at the rate of 15 to 20
pounds per acre.
Repeat the spraying or dusting
every few days until the beetles
have been eradicated, Rowell pointed
out.
When making a spray, he continu
ed, use only a dust with a diluent
that will mix readily with water. The
label on the package usually telld
whether it w:il mix with water.
Calcium arsenate and arsenate of
lead are injurious to plants and are
not recommended, Rowell concluded.

RALEIGH, July 7 Mexican bear,
beetles are raiding North Carolina's
gardens and truck patches again
this year.
But the invasion can be stopped
with a counter-attack of rotenone
spray or dust, said J. O. Rowell, ex
tension entomologist at State Col

death to beetles, he added, it is harm
less to human beings. Also, it is com
paratively inexpensive to use.
