The State-Federal Crop Reporting Service reveals that a crop of 967,- 000 turkeys was indicated as of Jan uary 1, compared with the all-time record of 1,018,000 raised last year. lAn exceptionally large turkey Crop throughout the United States brought prices down while (feed prices re mained fairly steady last year, but increased consumption prior to the holiday season softened the blow to some degree. N Turkey production in North Caro lina has almost doubled during the past three years. In 1960, only 569,- 600 turkeys were raised—followed by a crop of 783,000 in 1951. The aver age for the five years from 1945 through 1949 was 404,000. On the U. S. level, including many states where turkey raising is big , business, intentions indicate a cut of 8 per cent from last year—or a crop of 54,069,000 turkeys compared with 68,956,000 producer last year. Song Os Wananook (Continued from Page Two) praisaL If Wananook expected to find fear in the eyes of the English man he was doomed to disappoint ment; for ISir Richard feared no man, Indian or devil, on land or sea. In the other, both the Englishman and the Indian recognized an opponent worthy of his steel. lAnd each re spected, if he did not fear, the other’s courage. Sir Richard marveled that the In dian dared to invade single-handed, with belligerent intentions, the white man’s ship. With amusement he won dered what the Indian intended to do with the arquebus he carried. It was not reasonable to believe that he could operate the weapon. “Faith, Cap’n,” spoke up a seaman who could stand the strain no longer, “what ’ee goin’ to do?” “Quiet!” 'Sir Richard did not take his eyes off the Indian. A restless ripple ran through the men; they were all beginning to feel the strain. Wananook advanced another pace land swept his arm in a majestic ges ture and pointed toward the east. When he spoke hi s voice was harsh and commanding. • ISir Richard turned to Jeremy, who had picked up a few words of the In dian dialect. “What does he say?” Jeremy frowned, “Best I can tell, Sir, he says, ‘Go’.” “Tell him we are friends and do not wish to harm him or his people.” Jeremy turned to the Indian and spoke a few halting words, Wananook scowled. “Evidently he does-not want^par CONVENIENT* SHOPPING tdwamis oraTS* market FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES FRESH EGGS ALL KINDS OF COLD DRINKS ALL KINDS OF SEASONABLE FARM PRODUCE OPEN SIX DAYS IN WEEK FROM 7 A.

The Indian lis tened stolidly and then drew himself up; he struck his chest. "Wananook!” Then followed a long string of girtter als and unintelligble words. Jeremy turned to Grenville. *lHe says, 'Cap’n, he’s a great warrior and chief of the Chowanokee—the white man must go or Indian MIL" “Ask him, Jeremy, how he intends to kill the white man—with that sun he carries?” Jeremy hesitated as if be had not heard aright. “Go ahead, Jeremy,” repeated Gren ville,- “ask this Wananook if he in tends to kill the white man with the white man’s weapon.” When Jeremy had finished trans mitting Sir Richasd’s words, Wana nook in great dignity and in solemn tones delivered a lengthy speech. He told the white men they did not be long here; this was the Indians’ land. The forests and streams and all in them belonged to the Indian. The white man must go! “An’ iCap’n, sir,” gulped Jeremy when he had relayed these words to Sir Richard, “’e says ’e be goin’ to kiL us and drive us away with the light ning of the firestick. ’Strath, sir, do ’e be thinking he can kill us with poor Hawkin’s gun? *E that knows naught ’o such things.” Wananook was becoming impatient. He had delivered his ultimatum and now he sprang into action. With the suddeness that took every man in the cabin by surprise he sprang back a pace, leveled the arquebus and brought it to bear on ISir Richard. Just as quickly a sailor leaped forward with musket and match and fired. The flame of the musket breathed hot on Wananook’s cheek but the ball whistled harmlessly by his head. An other sailor swung a sword that sure ly would have ended the Indian’s life had it landed. All was confused. Run ning feet pounded the deck outside and men burst into the cabin. They took in the situation at a glance; sprang at Wananook to cut him down. ‘<Hold, men, bold!” Again Sir Rich ard sprang to the defense of the In dian. “Hold your fire and your sword arm and listen to me!” f Not understanding but obedient they lowered their weapons and backed up. There was much grumbling, but an or der was an order, and not for them to gainsay it or to question. Wananook stood imperturbable and unshaken, the arquebus still leveled at ISir Richard. ISir Richard Grenville, soldier, sea man, adventurer, statesman, was also a diplomat. In a flash had occurred to him a solution to this problem, the possible averting of bloodshed and the winning of the Indian’s friendship. Wananook no doubt thought the arquebus would spout flame and death if he willed it; but it was obvious the Indian knew nothing of firearms and the arquebus was harmless in his hands. So, reasoned ISir Richard, why not allow the Indian to continue to be lieve that the arquebus held the pow er to kill and subdue the white man; for if-he discovered that the weapon _jngU3HaWIAN HBRAID, EDKNTON, N. C.. THORiEDAY.

Jere my, tell Wananook we go. We will leave the Indian’s land.’” Jeremy’s jaw dropped. "Oap’n, be ye daft?” The men looked at one another, blankly, as if their Captain had in deed gone mad. They stirred uneasi ly, but held onto their swords and muskets. ' ‘Sir Richard Grenville’s brow dark ened with wrath. "Lay down your arms,” he roared, “or by God, I’ll hang every man jack o’ ye from the yard arm!” Muskets, swords and pikes rattled to the deck. back away!" The men complied sullenly. “Now, Jeremy—tell him we go.” When Richard Grenville spoke thus no man dared disobey. (Despite his sternness, Sir Richard Grenville could not but appreciate the humor of the situation—a lone Indian holding ait bay a cabinful of tough English sea dogs—but he carefully concealed his real feelings from the men. (His out ward demeanor was serious and with the dignity becoming an officer. Jeremy conveyed Grenville’s words to the Indian; IWlananook surveyed the sullen, unarmed seamen before him. His gaze paused on the granite visage of Grenville. For a long mom ent he held his pose; then again he syept his arm to the east in a dra matic gesture and repeated his com mand: “White man—go!” He cradled the arquebus in the crook of his arm, turned on his heel and stepped from the cabin. Wananook dropped over the side into his canoe, and was paddling for the distant wooded shore before the English fully realized the Indian was gone. , Wananook stood tall and straight on the banks of the Nomopana. He gazed out over the water and his eyes rested on the big white-winged canoe of the white men. At bis back the tall trees rustled and at his feet the gen tle waters rippled. On board the great canoe there was Better Cough Relief When new drugs or old fail to help your cough or chest cold don’t delay.

The white men scuttled back and forth, they called to one another, and some climb ed the tall trees that supported the wide white wings. Long ropes dang led and swayed and were hauled and pulled this way and that by the white men. On the highest part of the great canoe stood the chief of the white men, leader of the many men from the strange land across the deep waters. He Strode the deck and waved his arms, and his commanding voice came across the water to the ear of Wana nook. Wananook looked out over the river and he saw that the big canoe would soon spread its wings and glide down to the mouth of the mighty stream, on into the Sound and out beyond the Great Bar, and depart from the land of the Chowanokes forever, never to return. The Great White Chief would keep his faith with the Indian. (Wananook had commanded the white men to go, and they had laid down their arms and heeded the words of the Indian. Wananook was a great war rior; the white man could not stand up before the arrows and knives of the Indian, who were as numerous as the leaves of the forest.

Slowly at first but gathering speed as the wind caught her sails and filled them, the ship slipped from her anchorage, heeled over, and was soon ’ beating her way down the river. The mists of the great river lifted up and swirled about her; her bow cleft the waters; and they rippled and , gurgled as they slipped off her hull and spun out astern in a foamy wake. Wananook stood and shaded his eyes with his hand against the glare of water and sun. The ship on the breast of Nemopana grew smaller and small er, wrapped about by the curtains of mist and haze that were gradually drawing down; until finally she was no more to be seen. And the forests and the streams, and all the land of the Indian was left to Wananook. The white man had gone; he would never return. Yet still and silent he stood, a chief and son of chiefs, at his back his bow and arrows, at his belt his knife and war-locks, triumphant and regal.

The Indians’ efforts to turn this great flood were futile and in vain. They came in many ships, cut down the forests, built great villages with many lodges and settled down to plant and people the wilderness ....
