Lots Of Fowl'
By Aycork Brown
MANTEO Currituck sound,
Internationally famous wildfowl
hunting area is literally alive with
I Canada geese and several species
I of duck including canvasback and
a few redheads, according to Fed
, eral Game Agent Tom Ma. in Car
I ter, who is in the area at present.
! He also reported many swan, which
, have protection from hunters and
a few straggling snow geese. "I
observed a- large flock of snow
geese in the Back Bay sector near
: the State Line," said Carter.
Canipen Serves en Cruiser
Glendun Canipen, chief store
keeper, USN. son of J. F. Canipen
of Route 1, Morehead City, is serv
ing aboard the light cruiser USS
Huntington, which has completed
a four month lour of duty in the
Mcditerro. ean and a two-month
good-will cruise of ports in Africa
and South America covering 28,
507 miles.
Most of the snow geese wil
spend their short winter visit o
I the North Carolina coast at Pea
Island National Wildfowl Refuge
where, the federal manager Paul
i F Sturm reports a present popula
tion of several thousand Canada
1 geese and various species of wild
duck. The largest congregation
of wild geese are in the Lake Mal
tumuskeet Refuge area where they
may be legally hunted, and killed.
"There are plenty of black duck
alo.ig the Outer Banks between
Oregon Inlet and Hatteras," said
Ras Westcott local business man
and sportsman who returned from
the area this week. The same is
true in the vicinity of Ocracoke
' where large flocks of geese are
Passenger Train
Runs Into Ship
A railroad passenger train ran
into a ship the other day. The
train was on its track a:'d the ship
was in the water. But they be;it
their heads together. And that's
a fact!
Sketpical? Well, here's the story.
An Atlantic Coast Line passen
ger train named the "Everglades"
was running south of Charleston,
S. C, early one morning recently,
minding its own business. Every
thing was normal, in fact, as it
rolled onto the trestle over the
Ashley River at Drayton Hall, S.
C. Imagine the engineer's surprise
when he suddenly saw ahead of
him through the early mor.iing
haze the bow of a large ship over
hanging his track.
Before he could even scratch hitJ
head, a ' Believe It Or Not" had
been born. In the crash, the ship
was rudely thrown off the railroad,
but not until it had cut the dlesel
electric locomotive's cheek and
bloodied its nose. Fortunately,
there were no injuries to persons
as a result of this private feud of
transportation giants. The train
proceeded after 30 minutes delay,
chuckling, no doubt, over the fact
that its adversary had been tied
up securely for being "off limits."
Seems that the unmanned wan
derer, a 175-foot deactivated Land
ing Craft Infantry, had broken its
moorings and drifted 300 feet up
stream with the unusually swift
morning current until it planted
its "nose" between the cross beams
of the trestle, its high prow pro
truding over the Coast Line's
northbound mainline.
So don't ever think you've heard
everything!

Farmer Increases Income
By Planting Hybrid Corn
COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh
By sending $11.50 for one bushel
of hybrid corn seed last spring, R.
H. May of Winterville, Pitt County,
obtained an extra income of $154 -48
from eight acres of corn, ac
cording to County Agent S. C. Win
Chester of the State College Ex!en
sion service. i
Mr. May split his 16-acrc corn
field right down the center and !
planted N. C. 27 hybrid on hah' j
of it and an open-pollinated variety ;
o.i the other half. Fertilization j
planting date, and cultivation were
the same on both areas.
The hybrid corn yielded 50.88 '
bushels per acre as compared with ,
only 3.hi busneis per acre for the
open-pollinated variety. At ?1.B0
per bushel, the 12.07 extra bushels
per acre from the hybrid corn
brought an added return of $.1)31
on each acre.
Rhyming of words in poetry was
unknown to the ancients and is
considered to be accidental when
it appears in the words of classic
Greek and Latin poets.
