?v Along HbL the Way '-?'y Klll?tt? Citizens from Duplin County have played impor tant roles in the settling of this country. During the Revolutionary War. Duplin men rose to defend their homes in the Colonial Militia and fought bravely in the Battle of Rockfish. Many times the Battle of Rockfish has been referred to as a skirmish in which one British soldier lost his life. While the battle does not compare in size and length to the nearby Conflict of Moore's Creek, the Duplin bout was fought for a pur pose. The Battle of Rockfish was planned to stop or slovs the advancement of the Briti' Major James H C'r Major Craig had taken > session of Wilmington nen a town of about 1,000 citi zens, during early 1781. During Craig's stay in Wil mington and Rutherford Mills east of Burgaw. his troops carried on a campaign of plunder and destruction. Craig's troops, with the assistance of locals loyal to Biitian, issued a proclama tion declaring all colonists who failed to enlist under the crown by the first day of August would be destroyed and their property taken. In reply to the proclama tion. Duplin's General .lames Kenan gathered all his forces at Rockfish bridge on the old Wilmington road near the present town of Wallace to prevent the entry of British forces into the county. Join ing Kenan and the local militia were ISO men under the leadership ol Major Griffen, making a total of about 400 men. The procla mation expired and the next day. August I. 1781, Craig's troops left Wilmington. August 2. Craig's main force, well-equipped with ammunition, artillery and cavalry, met the main force of Craig's troops and found the British cavalry advancing upon their rear. The cavalry was composed of fit) horse men and two companies of artillerv. led bv C aptain Garden. Surrounded bv British arms. General Kenan led the colonial troops in retreat.

Phillip Denlinger, a native of Dayton. Ohio, is Duplin's new horticulture specialist. "The potential for vege table and fruit production is good in Duplin County," said Denlinger. "The Faison Pro duce Market and C'ates are near to buy the crops." During the coming season, Denlinger plans to establish several Integrated Pesf Management (IPM) plots throughout Duplin's fruit and vegetable fields. The 1PM plots *be scouted for insects to determine the best time to spray insecticides. The information. Denlinger explained, may cut down on the number of times a farmer sprays his crop and yield a better harvest. 1 "There is more risk with produce crops but there is uood Dotential for the vece table crops in Duplin." Denlinger said. "Corn and soybean crops can be stored, but there is no w ay of storing vegetables until the market price improves." Test pro grams like IPM can help make produce crops more profitable, cutting insecticide costs and improving yields. As horticulture specialist, Denlinger will work with blueberry, grape, tomato, cucumber and pepper crops, and home l.'"<lscaping pro jects and advisor tit plant nursery businesses. Another crop Denlinger hopes to ac quaint Duplin farmers w ith is cabbage. Cabbage is one of the main crops in Denling er's home state of Ohio. Ohio's main crops are cab bage. tomatoes and beans. Denlinger began work at the Duplin AES Jan. 4. He has been living and working in Bladen County since Sep tember 1982. The Dayton native is a graduate of Purdue University in Indiana with a B.S. in horticulture and employment experience as a manager of an Ohio fruit and vegetable farm. "I hope the Duplin far mers will feel free to call our office for help wuh their 1983 crops." Denlinger said. "The Extension office has an unlimited amount of infor mation available. It we don't have the answers here, a telephone call to North Caro lina State University will put us in touch with a special ist." Carltons Attend Farm Tobacco Seminar "Tobacco growers must fight tooth and nail politically to get the public-aware of the whole tobacco program." This is one conclusion reached by a Duplin County couple, Johnny and Connie Carlton, after completing the executive development seminar for tobacco farmers and tobacco farm women. The Carltons, of Route 1. Warsaw, were among 64 tobacco farmers from across the state attending the semi nar. It was conducted by the N.C. Agricultural Extension Service with a grant from R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. Participants attended four days of classes at N.C. State University and made a two day visit to R.J. Reynolds World Headquarters in Win ston-Salem. Dr. Chester D. Blai.k, director of the AES. said the annual seminar is for inno vative tobacco farmers who want to broaden their know edge of tobacco production and marketing. "It is one of he first statewide educa ional programs to recognize he role women play in modern agriculture." Black added. Edward A. Horrigan Jr., :hairman of Reynolds, told lie participants that. Tobacco farmers must arm [hemselves through educa ?ion. new production tech niques and a strong com \rri] PTE! OttT Trfh mitment to protect the future of America's $60 billion tobacco industry." The Carltons ranked ciga rette manufacturing plants, agricultural law. farm records systems and com puters among the most in teresting topics at the semi nar. In fact, the Carltons admit they are considering purchasing a small computer to help w ith recordkeeping. The Carltons farm 870 acres of corn, wheat and soybeans and 60 acres of tobacco in partnership with Carlton's father and brother. The Carltons are members of Johnson Baptist Church near Warsaw and have three children: Michael. 13; Ron. 10; and Leigh Ann, 8.
