16 CROP VEGETABLES EXPECTED IN COUNTY Truckers' Journal Looks For , a Uusual Bountiful Crop of . . Truck and Strawberries THE MORNING STAR, WILMINGTON, N. C FRIDAY, - FEBRUARY 18, 1921. SEVJSN Hnsoil upon a survey recently made H,v Z. W. Whitehead, editor of the Carolina pruit and Truckers Journal, a loi .il publication having a. wide cir jxilnti .''11. the early spring strawberry j vegetable outlook for New Ilan nirr iinii adjoining: counties is very eoo.l indeed RAILROAD LABOR ASKS FOR A MONTH'S DELAY Makes Supreme Drive to Check Movement Against . Na tional Agreement This paper keeps In con- I ....it toticii wun me growers 01 mis ,rction and all other important ship pjns points throughout eastern North B1i South Carolina, as well as Vir gijva. In 'ts review this week of tllP tonrlitions surrounding the Industry "Whitehead in the Journal, CHICAGO. Feb. 17. Labor today appeared before the railroad labor board In a supreme effort to check the railway executives' drive against na tional agreements. This drive, B. M. Jewell, chairman of the employes com mittee declared, was intended to ob scure the fundamental Issues at stake, which, the employes have declared, were the open shop movement and an attempt to crush organized labor. CHARLIE DE METRQR IS HERE TO MEET HANSON Mr. Jewell renuested the board to allow the employes until March 14 to ' tonight with Hanson, had defeated him Greek Bearcat and Local Favor ! iUe " Grapple Tonight Returning from Charlotte yesterday where on Wednasday night be ga"ve Kid Ellis the worst licking of his life in straight falls. Frit Hanson is in perfect condition for tonight's gruelling-mat bout with Charles Metropolios which will be wrestled -to a finish on the Academy mat. Hanson trimmed Ellis on Wednesday night in Charlotte decisively. The first fall went 43 minutes, the Swede win ning' with a head - scissors and arm lock, and the second was concluded in eight minutes when Fritz rammed the Syrian into the mat for the count. leaving him dazed ana bewildered and almost unconscious. Ellis' loss to Hanson came Just two nights after Metropolios, the hard boiled Greek, who goes to the mat here New Englandef has not lefst'a deslcion since coming south and he's "all primed for. tonight's fray- which will go to finish regardless of time anc which will very probably, be rougher and mora sensational than' any match ever staged here. - Metro will reach tlie city this morn ing an tfta train 1 romtlie -north. 1 He is in perfect, physical condition and expects to handle Hanson just as easily as he did Ellis and with much less trouble than Turner occasioned him. Hanson still sticks to his statement thatMetro possesses a yellow streak. Turner couldn't find it and Ellis went down in defeat looking for it and now its Hansoik's time. The Swede be gins the search tonight and may uncover- a lot of trouble for himself be fore it is over with. Ringside tickets can be had at Newman's cafet until 7 o'clock tonight. The bout will start at 8:30. "Much is 'being written and said bnut the truck and berry crops in: y,.v Hanover and adjoining counties, tl, acreage, outlook, etc. In this con nection v-e would say that the Truck frs' .lotirnal has made a careful sur y,,y of the situation and there is some tli in f-' like Id or 20 per cent increase in the lettuce acreage this year over last: about 10 per cent increase in the aiTfaco of garden peas; a normal acre au,. of snap beans, cabbage, beets, sqti.isli. radish, cauliflowor, roasting (;irs, butter beans, cucumbers, and ptirr vegetable crops such as are usually planted around here each year. Tiie Irish potato acreage will be slight ly decreased, while there will toe an increase in the sweet potato acreage, gome of which will be for early ship ments and otners lor later shipments. "Very few strawberries are grown in New Hanover as a market proposi tion, the local market usually absorb ing about all that are produced in this county. In the surrounding counties there 'will be an average of 10 to 15 per cent increase in the acreage this year over last, although a great many iif the new plants that are responsible for the increased acreage this year were only set last fall and during the current month. These plants, of course, will bear very little fruit, this spring, hut the outlook is favorable neverthe less for an increased output in straw berries for shipment this spring over jast season. "The prevailing low prices of lettuce, snap beans, beets, radishes, "and other things in the vegetable kingdom, now being shipped from Florida, cannot be accepted as a criterion for prices on similar products that will later on next sprinp and summer move out of this territory. As a matter of fact any thing like strawberries and green veg etables are out of season on the north ern markets at this season of the year, and prevailing low prices should ex cite no surprise anywhere, for this is not the time of year when people's appetites crave such things, and espe cially on the northern markets, where complete their rebuttal to the objec tions to national agreement made by the railroads. He also proposed that the whole case" be thrown. out of court and the points taken up in conference between the carriers and employes. Protest immediately was entered by E. T. Whiter, of the carrier's com mittee, against delay and to any pro posals of further conferences. He de clared that the question the board now faced was merely whether the agree ments should be continued. Frank P. Walsh, counsel for the brotherhoods. In an address, likened the principles being laid down bv the labor board to those of the supreme ! court in its early history. He said that the utterances and acts of rail way executives indicated that, if not restrained, the executives would "ren der the transportation act emasculated and abortive, this board will be des troyed insofar as its efficient function ing is concerned, and we shall have endless turmoil and instability in the railroad industry." Mr. Walsh declared that if the car riers did not comply with the law, the employes would inform the public as to the real "situation" in an at tempt to prevent congress from enact ing law for financial relief of the rail roads. J'At this moment the carriers are attempting to dip their hands into the United States treasury and ex tract the enormous sum of $750,001), 000 which is only their initial effort," Mr. Walsh 'assetred. in Rock Hill. The Kid did not have a chance with the tough Greek and lost to him in straight falls. In fact Metro was not really forced to put out in defeating Ellis. Thus far the TRINITY BEATEN BY V. M. I. LEXINGTON, Va., Feb. 17. Virginia Military institute defeated Trinity col lege in a basket ball contest here to day, 66 to 11. This was the s.econd defeat Trinity received on its trip to Lexington, the Washington and Lee quint last night defeating them by a score of 29 to 11. KIWAXIS OP KAYETTEVTLXE PRESENTED WITH CHARTER the ground is covered with snow and I ent. (Special to The Star) FAYETTEVILLE, Feb. 17. T h e charter of the Fayetteville Kiwanis club was presented to the club by District Governor J. Thomas Arnold, vf Spartanburg, S. C, at an elaborate din ner given last night at the LaFayette hotel. The Kiwanians staged a varied program, and oratory, wit, song and merriment abounded. A number 'of the leading Kiwanians of the Carolinas and other distinguished guests were pres- ieP. ana SUCn Will ne me uase iui a. month longer. The weather is usually warm and spring-like when our veg etables and fruit move out of this portion, and it is the exception and not the xule when they bring poor prices. We look for business condi tions to improve later on and the number of unemployed to: diminish rather than increase, all of which must increase purchasing capacity and better demands." JACKSONVILLE MAYOR STAGES CLEAN-UP PAY Following Double Murder He Orders General Arrests .JACKSONVILLE, Fla.. Feb. 17. In connection with, the murder here last night of George Alexander Goodrich, 57. prominent engineer and.. builder of Atlanta, and Walter H.

Although Dunn has for the time being abandoned its 10- j-ar flight for the establishment of Jarvis county with Itself, as the county seat, it is not Improbable that an effort will be made -to get this legislature to permit the voters "f Harnett county to decide whether fr not it is their wish to move the oii'-thoTjse from Lillington to Dunn. In this event it is also probable that '(mother measure, contingent upon the snecess of removal advocates, will bo requested to permit another election to decide as to the. desirability of trans ferring the western Harnett townsTiip to Lep county and some portions of Pamppon and Johnston to Harnett. Such in arang-ement would be satisfactory to Dunn and would at the same time rplievp the situation which makes rearrangement of the surrounding eonntry imperative if it is to be given that attention essential to its full development.
