Led Local Scoring
Barrage
. . a I e
Playing without the service of
Tenner Wallace and Don Brock, two
stalwarts -of the local independent
team, the Williamston Martins drop
ped a thrilling battle to the New
Bern Bears at New Bern last Friday
night. The fmal score was 37-36. At
the end of the first quarter the Mar
tins were ahead 12 to 6. while at the
half they were leading 19 to 13.
Jeff Grant, lanky center, dropped
in points from all sections of the
court to lead the locals' scorin(p bar
rage, garnering lfi points during the
contest. A great improvement has
been noticed in Grant's play during
the past few games and at present
he is crowding the other members
for leading scoring honors.
Versatile "Big Leaguer" Beaird
followed Jeff with four field goals
and a single free goal.
Stuart Flythe. former State Col
lege star, was the mainstay in the
Bear line-up chalking up a total of
16 points.

Williamston High
Will Play Edenton
Here This Evening
Doubleheader Will Begin at
7:30 O'Clock Sharp in
Local Gym
The Williamston High School boys
and girls basketball teams will op
pose the strong Edenton High outfit
tonight in the local gym with the
girls playing first at 7:30. The gym
will be well heated for the occasion.
The Green Wave girls had a little
difficulty in finding themselves on
the court in the first games of the
season but an 18-9 victory over the
Oak City sextet last Friday showed
an improved team. Oak City beat the
Green Wave fair sex in a game be
fore Christmas but the city slickers
were no match tor the local girls last
week. With Marjorie Dunn, Captain
Ray Everett and Bina Jackson play
ing at forwards. Coach Sam Edwards
has developed a strong offense. The
guards are all newcomers tojthe
game but the marked improvement
in last week's victory proved that the
rookies were learning fast
The Williamston boys have met no
competition in the county in their
opening games except in a much dis
puted contest in Robersonville. The
local boys defeated Washington last
week for their first victory over
Washington in the pant five yeur.'
Coach Edwards has had the same
boys on the basketball squad since
he has been here for the past three
years. Edwards foresaw the poten
tialities of a winning team in such
sophomores as the Anderson twins.

Prosperoun Pig Year For
Lincoln County Farmer?
All indications point to a prosper
ous pig year for Lincoln County in
1940 ,as more purebred animate have
been placed in the county, reports
Assistant Farm Agent John W Web
ster.
James Ward and began the first year
he came to Williamston to develop
this combination. This year the
wave coach will cash in on the three
years of hard practice with these
boys. The first year this combina
tion won only seven games as they
dropped 11 to their opponents. Last
year the Green Wave opponents took
away only eight games from the lo
cals while Williamston was racking
up 10 victories. This year the same
combination of a strong defense in
the twins and a scoring offense in
Boykin, Ward and Roberson, has won
four games out of five starts.
The Williamston High School bas
ketball girls need the support of the
student body to encourage them as
they struggle to win a few games
this season. The boys need the long
neglected support of Williamston to
place high school basketball on the
status of a worthwhile high school
activity
Location of Tobacco
Plant Bed Important
Locate your tobacco plant bed
conveniently, and construct it prop
erly, and the task of controlling the
deadly blue mold disease will be
made considerably easier, says Dr
Luther Shaw, plant pathologist of
ti e State College Extension Service.
Blu? mold positively can be con
trolled with one of the three meth
ods recommended by the Extension
Service, he declared. They are: Ben
zol fumigation, paradichlorobenzene
fumigation, or copper-oxide spray.
"Application of any of these three
blue mold control treatments will
necessitate frequent visits to the
beds, and in some cases the move
ment of equipment to and from
them," the specialist explained.
"Therefore, the plant bed should In
placed in a convenient location.
"The bed should be located close
to a source of water, either a stream
or well, because water will be need
ed in the application of either fumi
gation or spray treatments. Also, it
U desirable to locate the beds where
they will be protected as much as
possible from strong winds."
Dr. Shaw also emphasized the
value of a narrow plant bed. He list
ed the following advantages from
such construction: (I) More plants
are produced per square yard; (2)
the danger of trampling on plants
while weeding and mi I line is avoid
ed; they can be watered more
easily and uniformly; and (4) nar
row beds can be equipped and treat
ed for blue mold control more eas
ily than w ide ones.
The seed bed may be any desired
length, but should be only 5 feet 8
inches wide to allow the standard
six-foot cover to fit snugly when the
fumigation ?of control ?un
used. the plant pathologist advised.
A pathway 18 inches to 2 feet wide
should be left between adjacent
beds.
