With the end of the 1941 Coastal
Plain League season just around the
corner, today finds Williamston in
fifth place in a terrific race which is
tightening """7 Hay in fourth
place is Cowboy McHenry's Golds
boro a mere game ahead of the Mar
tins, while third-place New Bern is
only leading the Bugs by three
games. Rocky Mount's Leafs, in sixth
place, are one game behind the Mar
tins. All of which goes to prove that |
anything can be expected during the [
next ten days as the pressure will be |
on at least four teams.
Williamston plays in Rocky Mount I
tonight, with Ken Rymer slated to |
do the mound work.
Tomorrow night Goldsboro and
the Martins will meet in the local
park for the last time this season. In
a desperate effort to place the local
team back in the first division Skip
per Frank Rodgers has announced
that veteran Pete Kunis will pitch
the contest. Should the Martins take
this victory, they would still have a |
fine chance of ending up in the play
offs.
According to unofficial records,
the Martins are scheduled to play
two more games with Rocky Mount,
Wilson, Tarboro and Kinston. Sin
gle games remain on docket with
Goldsboro and the New Bern Bears
Merit Awards Teach
Useful Farm Lesson
N. C. State College officials didn't
realize it at the time, but when they
awarded certificates of meritorious
service to three outstanding agricul
turists, by pure coincidence they
taught one of the essentials for suc
cessful farming.
J. W. Kiker, of Anson County, was
recognized for his work in corn
breeding, T. J. W. Broome for his
srevice of 30 years as farm agent in
Union County and for his promo
tion of lespedeza. and A. O McEach
ern of New Hanover County for do
veluping fine dairy faille.
The work of these three men rep
resents a complete program and cy
cle for successful agriculture, ac
cording to A. C. Kimrey, extension
dairy specialist of N. C. State Col
lege.
Explaining, he pointed out that
Mr. Kiker developed corn which-i?
the backbone of livestock feeding.
Mr. Broom promoted the use of les
pedeza in North Carolina, represent
ing hay and grazing, both highly es
sential for success in dairying.
Finally, Mr McEachern on his
Eastern Carolina farm developed
fine dairy animals to consume all of
these feeds, converting them into
cash and good living for farm peo
ple.
This practical lesson might be put
to good use in the State's rapidly ex
panding dairy industry, the State
College specialist pointed out. Not
only is it a good lesson for the large
dairyman, he added, but for the fam
ily owning just one cow.
Plenty of home-grown feeds will
aid in combatting rising prices, Kim
rey went on, affording larger mar
gins on the sale of milk and other
state 'jams in udw
For Ponltry Honors
North Carolina has moved into
14th place among states in the num
ber of chickens raised on farms this
year, helped by a 20 per cent 11
crease over the past 10-year average,
reports C. J. Maupin, extension poul
tryman of N. C. State College.
This compares with a nation-wide
jump over the average for the past
decade of only 9 per cent, according
to figures just released by the Agri
cultural Marketing service of the U.
S. Department of Agriculture
A part of this large increase in
production for the State is due to
the growing interest commercial
broiler production Federal figures
show North Carolina to .be one of the
nine states now producing 5,000.000
or more broilers annually.
At the same time, Maupin said. Tar
Heel hens are laying more eggs. Dur
ing July, it is estimated that pro
duction hit 61,000,000, an increase of
3,000,000 eggs over the same month
a year ago. Similarly, production for
the first seven months of this year
soared 23,000,000 over the same per
fod in 1940: ???-?
Other states are marching along
in this Government-aided drive for
larger poultry numbers. The latest
Federal report says "the number of
chickens "raised 'on farm s in 1941 will
exceed all past records." The number
ojf layers in farm flocks on August
fil was the largest for the past eight
years.

Public Opinions . . . by "buff"
Finishing up his sixth or sev
enth season of umpiring in this
section?having started before
the Coastal Plain became pro?
Mr Tom "Hateful" Hanna of
fered the following information
after a lot of arguing?
"The toughest job in the Coastal
Plain League, and the one that is the
least appreciative, is not umpiring.
Anyone who has been on the inside
of the Coastal Plain League this
year realizes what a very compe
tent job Ray Goodmon. the presi
dent of the circuit, has done. His um
piring staff has gone through many ,
changes, and Kay has had to take the '
continual panning of the fans and
scribes for the work of some of his
arbiters.
"The fact that a number of the
leagues in the country have fold
ed. and the very fact that the
Coastal Plain League continues
is due to his masterful work
manship as its head.
"As to the umpires, they are that
seems to me that the grandstand
umpires could guess 'em right some*]
times -they are always guessing
wrong The job of selecting good I
umpires has been very difficult. ;
They have come to Mr Goodmon
with a good recommendation. He
has never seem them work, therefore,
the only thing he can do is to try j
them.
"It's a fast that umpires do err be
cause they are only human. They do
it in the big leagues, and the public |
forgets they are in Class D: if they
were better than that, they'd be in
better leagues. The public, of course..
pays the salaries of the umpires by
their attendance, and if that same
person, who hollers at an umpire, be
cause of an error, makes one him
self in the office, he rubs it out, but
the poor fellow out there in the
field ^as to take it.
"Tt seems to me that if the um- ?
pires were given a little more
praise, instead of criticism, this
umpiring racket wouldn't be so
tough. It doesn't matter about
ragging an ole timer, but these
young fellows are conscientious;
they are trying too hard. Why
don't the fans in the Coastal
Plain League forget the New
York Yankees and the big
leagues and remember they are
in Class I) and they can only
expect Class I) umpiring?
I'll take umpiring . . . You can
have the. president's job "
Tom Manna, the "butt" of a nuni
bor of dirty crock* by thi* volunm ,
during the season, has been a great
right-hand man to the league presi
dent After all, thi> "dean of the cir
cuit's arbiters." as he is popularly ;
known by everyone, is no longer a
youngster, yet he has been jumping
around the circuit smoothing out a
lot of "bad situations." . . . Manna's
greatest habit, especially when work
ing behind the plate, is singing "Ole
Hocking Chair's Got Me" ... Of
course, he avers lie can also "do!
up the classics"
STRAIGHT . Settling the argu
ment about our Martin receiver and
his relation to Wes, Rick and their
other nationally kn\m n biotheis. we

cousin 11 is folks were here Sun
