Beloved Minister
Is Laid To Rest
Friends will sympathize with
Rev. Tom Johnson and his bro- j
ther, E. J. Johnson, of Mill Creek
church, in the death of their
father, Rev. W. R. Johnson, of1
Wilmington. With exception of j
one son in Philadelphia, the other i
seven children reside near the j
old home, a few miles from Fay-;
etteville. His second wife also
survives in Wilmington.
The Rev. W. R. Johnson claimed
the honor of having established
more churches than any other
man of his day. Among the number,
he was the founder of the
First Baptist church of Dunn. |
His last service was an hour and
half address made last fall on
Founder's Day at this church.
The present pastor, Rev. E. N.
Gardner, told at the funeral of j
how even children did not tire j
of hearing him make so long a i
talk.
Being 86 years of age, he prea-1
ched for 60 years, holding regu-'
lar pastorates ior miy ycmo.,
During this time he had baptized
3,500 people, conducted 3,000 funerals
and married scores of peo-:
pie.
Funeral services were conduc-1
ted Sunday afternoon at Cedar
Creek Baptist church, his home
church, Cumberland county, by [
Rev. B. R. Page, assisted by Rev. I
E. N. Gardner, of Dunn, Mr. Har-'
dy Lanier, and Dr. Snyder, of
Fayetteville.

Cancer Cure
A new therapeutic use for the
lowly maggot?as surgeon in a
skin wound?was disclosed Monday
in the archives of dermatology
by three Los Angeles physicians.
They were credited with
saving the life of a California
surgeon, a victim of cancer, in a
report made by Drs. G. Mosser
Taylor, Nelson Paul and Samuel
Ayers. Although use of maggots
to remove bone abscesses has
long been established, the three
physicians called theirs the first
instance where they were applied
to a skin case. Orthodoxy surgery,
dressings, and violet rays
had proved unavailing for their
patient, a former medical missi-i]
onary, they related. But the i
treatment by maggots removed |l
the diseased tissue and the wound i
healed. i ji

some other conservation practice,
j equal to at least 20 per cent of
the acres in soil-depleting crops.
And he must not have an acreage
of depleting crops this year
greater than his base acreage for
these crops.
The bases and normal average
yield for cotton, tobacco, and
peanuts will be the same as established
for 1936 under the old
AAA.
Bases for other depleting crops
will be worked out on a fair and
equitable basis by the secretary
of Agriculture, Dean Schaub said,
Cotton, tobacco, corn, wheat,
THE STATE P
peanuts, truck, and the like are
classified as soil-depleting crops.
Soil-conserving crops include forest
trees, legumes, hays, ami pasture
grasses.
Part of the soil conservation
grant to each farm wiii be a
moderate soil-maintenance payment,
probably 75 cents an acre,
on land planted to soil-building or
conserving crops
Fields already in these crop3.
and on which the crops are maintained
in 1936. will qualify for
these payments as well as fields
where these crops are planted
this year for the first time in
several years.
The other part of the grant
will be a diversion payment on
land shifted from depleting crops]
to soil-building or conserving
crops.
A diversion payment of six
cents a pound on the average
production of land thus taken out j
>f cotton has been recommended, j
The recommended tobacco payment
is at least five cents a
sound, but in no event less than j
he rate per pound on cotton
For peanuts, the recommended I
ate is 1% cents a pound, but in]
10 case less than 25 per cent of
he rate for cotton.
Diversion payment on. other
soil-depleting crops will lie fixed
ater, Dean Schaub stated.
The maximum amount of coton
land on which diversion paynents
will be made for shifting

irops is 40 per cent of the base j

orking to make the county gov nments
function more smoothly
j the work that they are doing
1 county books.
By means of the county wel,re
department, the Works Proress
Administration has distrilted
in the neighborhood of
lirteen tons of surplus food promts
in Brunswick county, ac?rding
to W. C. Beard, director
: commodity distribution for
rPA in this district.
The commodities are shipped
om the WPA warehouse in
Wilmington and turned over to
le local welfare officers for disibution
to the needy of the
>unty. In addition to the food
iing given the county's poor,
othes, comforts, pillow cases,
leets and towels made in the
'PA sewing rooms are being
stributed.
The commodity project has two
>als, Beard said. "By distribu[ig
this food we, of course, help
e poor folks of the county. But
ie government, by purchasing
ese products on a flooded marit,
keeps the price up and thus
:lps the man who sells the promts.
The Federal Surplus Com-;
odities Corporation studies the
arket closely, and when a surus
develops in any product, it
bought for distribution to the
tor."
Beard panted out that WPA
orkers are not eligible to reive
these surplus commodities.
