A circus, travelling through New Hamp shire, took a short cut over a back road in this town. As the elephant truck went up a long hill, the tailgate slid open and one of the pachyderms got out. Motorists on the road later re ceived quite a shock to see the huge animal calmly standing by the roadside apparently enjoying the woody countryside. About 40 miles further on, the circus stopped for a rest and dis covered the loss. A search party was sent back and the elephant was discovered surrounded by ad mirers, some with cameras, others just wondering at "New Hamp shire wildlife." UUtllk kl|A A f n?-raa TV tin Tn?

Soil Conservation Service Hurricanes "Connie" and "Diino" dealt a severe blow to our Carteret County farmers. It has been esti mated that the tobacco farmers h^d a loss of 23 to 30 per cent of their tobacco crop alone. Most corn in Carteret County was mature enough not to be a total loss pro viding it is not touching the ground. Soybeans were badly bruised and shattered. A lot of soybeans were drowned and turned black. Most sweet potatoes uill rot right in the ground. Nearly all these losses and many more was due main'y to the 15 inches of rain and the wind re ceived here in Carteret County. Are you having fertility or drain age problems on your farm? If so. part of the solution woultf be to seed winter cover crops and turn into the soil next spring. These winter cover crops should be seeded between Sept. 10 and Nov. 1. By turning the cover crops back into the soil, you will increase the soil's fertility. The decaying vege tation holds moisture in dry weather, and also holds the fer tilizer in the soil until the plant can use it. Vegetation such as cover crops turned into the soil holds the soil open. This gives better drainage internally. If you burn the vegeta tion or take it from the field over & period of years, the soil will be come sealed on top. This causes poor internal drainage because the water can not go into the soil. Poor fertility and poor drainage mean low yields. Low yields mean low income. Low income means poor farmers. Another practice to increase your income is strip cropping. A lot of farmers here would have been through harvesting tooacco before the hurricanes this year if they had used this practice. To bacco would have been earlier. The sand and wind damage in the spring would have been partly con trolled by using contour strip rota tions. This practice would also build fertility and better drainage for your soils when the proper crops are grown and the arrangement of the crops are carried out as planned. Any farmer desiring technical help or information on these prac tices should contact me at the post e building, Beaufort Scorned Woman Wrecks Ex-Boyfriend's Auto Grand Rapids, Mich. (AP)-~ Po lice learned the power of a woman scorned, but they won't tell her name. Her boy friend won't prose cute. Someone reported a hit-and-run accident. A young woman was ly ing in the street.
