Paul Davis. At 10:26 Wednesday morning, the June T, a 56-foot trawler, slipped away from the Machine and Supply Co. dock, Beaufort, to begin her shakedown cruise. Aboard were her owners, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Teich, Adams Creek, their 7-year-old daughter, June, Mr. and Mrs. Dudley Mac Farlane, Gloucester; Elmer Willis, the builder, Williston, Mrs. Willis and their two daughters, Beverly and Nancy. Members of the crew were Capt. Paul Davis, Davis, and James T. Guthrie, as well as Mr. Willis who always likes to personally check on boats he builds. He soon showed I he was an able sailor as well as I I a good boat builder. ! Mr. Willis has been in the boat building business for three years, 1 but during that short time he has built 10 trawlers, three menhaden boats, and 10 yachts at the Willis ton Boat Works. The June T; he says, is one of the best boats he has ever built. She is 56 feet long and 16 feet wide. The power comes from a 300 horse GMC diesel en gine capable of pushing her through the water at 12 knots. The ice compartment is insulated with Styrofoam and has a capa city of 25 tons. Her hold has room for 400 boxes (40,000 pounds) of shrimp. The boat is constructed of long leaf heart pine and took about 12 weeks and $35,000 to complete. Many extra features are included on the June T which Mr. Teich thinks will make the life of a shrimp fisherman more pleasant. It has both automatic pilot and dtrpth recorder. The interior of the cabin is fin ished in mahogany. A rubber tile deck in the cabin, foam rubber pillows, curtains, and a modern kitchen make the June T's crew feel right at home. Captain Earl Davis, Smyrna, who captains a menhaden boat, claims that the June T is the finest, best-equipped trawler he had seen in years of fishing both on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.

Queen Street Principal Lists Faculty Members Nematodes Fall Under Plowing By HARRY VENTERS Assistant to County Agent The job' of grading and tying to bacco has begun, but it seems to me that quite a few farmers arc torgetting one of the most import - ml steps in succcssful tobacco pro duction. The control of nematodes cannot be over emphasized and now is the time for the most effective control. Plowing out the stubbles imme diately following tobacco harvest will greatly reduce all three types ?if nematodes that plague tobacco rowers ? root knot, meadow, and stunt. Tests indicate that this prac tice alone may reduce the nema tode population by as much as 90 per cent. It also makes additional control through crop rotation and soil fum igation more effective. There arc two reasons that plow ing out tobacco roots is so effec tive. First, a large number of nem atodes arc trapped in the root sys tem and quite a few in the soil are exposed to the drying action of the sun and wind. j The second reason is that the multiplication of nematodes arc slowed down. If stubbles are plow ed out by the latter part of August, the number of complete life cycles might be rcduced by as many as three for the nematodes killed. Any method that will throw the roots out of the ground and ex pose them to the sun and wind is satisfactory. A turning plow or middle buster type plow or a sin pic disc plow properly tilted will do a good job of exposing the roots. A heavy bush and bog disc set for deep cutting will destroy I he stalks and roots and open the soil. Light discing is not effective. Whichever method you use, go over the field in several days with a smoothing harrow to roll the roots over and shake off as much dirt as possible. The stubbles should be left exposed for at least one week before seeding winter cover or small grain.

Marvin Howard, Ocracokc Scout I master, believes, however, that the I disease causing the deaths, en- 1 cephalitis, has about run its cycle, j The affliction is commonly called! the "blind staggers." I Of the 10 ponies stricken, about ( four or five were owned by island : i Boy Scouts who boast the only fuily-mountcd Boy Scout troop in the nation. Encephalitis, also called sleep- ; ing sickness, is caused by a cer-, tain kind of mosquito. When the | outbreak was evident, Dr. Martin j j Hines, chief veterinarian of the j State Board of Health, went to the : island and immunized the healthy j ' ponies. A special beach foggcr was sent i to the island from Hyde County I to spray low places. Now the island | has acquired its own fogging equip ment. Captain Howard said that Ocra coke suffered an epidemic like this about 25 years ago. The toll then was 25 ponies. He says that the disease is prevalent for about 30 days. Since a month has passed from the first outbreak, it is hoped , the epidemic is abotif'tfvtr.

WITH THE 4-H'ERS By FRED KNOTT Autitant County Ajent Mrs. Floy Garner and I have been contacting the school prin cipals in our county in reference to scheduling times for 4-H club meetings in their schools. We are very appreciative of the fine co operation we have received thua far. Our principals are very busy at present and many of them are making their schedule far the com ing year even tighter, by including 4-H in the school activities. It is up to the members of the various 4-H clubs to convince our school personnel that they have made a wis* decision and one of the best ways to do this la to turn In a large number of completed record bonks this fall and theft take an active part In all othct.4-H activi ties. The 4-H club, as any other or ganisation will be as great as you, the members, aspire to make It. Some of you 4-H'ers should be thinking about our county fair whteh will ba staged Id October, _? ir~?rrr r- tyr-rrr j rr " and plan to have an exhibit there.

Carteret Leads In Shrimp Catch Carteret County led all North Carolina counties in shrimp catches during June. Pounds landed to uted 158,668, according to the Fish and Wildlife Service. Top county in total fish landed, however, was Brunswick with 19, j 724,986 pounds. Carteret was sec ond with 15,432,659 pounds. | ^ Menhaden accounted for 91 per ccnt of the total catch of 36.8 mil lion pounds for the month. Only i Brunswick and Carteret counties i reported catches of menhaden, j The 36.8 million pounds of fish i and shellfish caught during June compared with 24.3 million pounds | during the corresponding month of last year. This 51 per cent gain was primarily due to greatly in creased catches of menhaden. As expected, ;hc menhaden catch dur ing June 1956 was large (34.7 mil-, lion pounds). Menhaden production was 77 per cent greater than in June 1955. i These fish, however, were of small j size and yielded relatively little | oil. Shrimping operations continued at low levels during the month. Channel nettcrs, who usually have j their greatest success during June, j found very few shrimp available. | Most of the shrimp that were tak en ran from 40 to 50 count (heads on). Landings during the first half of 1956 amounted to 94.3 million pounds ? 71 per ccnt of which con sisted of menh iden. Other species of importance during the six month period of 1956 were ale wives, hard crabs, croaker, and king whiting. Quarter Inch Of Rain Falls A quarter of an inch of rain was recorded by E.
