Majority Of P
Brunswick
Recent figures reveal that
around four-fifths of the
population of Brunswick
county live on farms.
According to a recent estimate
made in Raleigh, more
than 15,000 of Brunswick
county's 17,000 inhabitants
are living now in unincorporated
districts.
There is no definite trend
from the country into the
towns, the figures indicate,
there being little difference
between the figures from
1930 to 1936.
In North Carolina, R. Y.
Winters, director of the N.
C. Agriculture experiment
station, estimates that 1,600,000
of North Carolina's population
live on farms, and
many of them on land not
suited to agriculture.

Many members of the various

The teachers were cheered this

they will receive their third

Sees Increase In
Peanut Acreage
Appears To Be Strong Possibility
Of Increase Next
Year In This Farm Crop
The possibility of a further inirease
in peanut acreage next
year is seen by the Federal Bureau
of Agricultural Economics.
The acreage this year was the
largest on record, the bureau staioH
in a renort sent the State
College extension service, but dry
weather curtailed the crop in
certain areas.
In North Carolina, the production
this year will probably run
close to 417,800 pounds, it was
estimated, as compared with
129,775 pounds in 1935.

population in North Carolina,
he estimates, occupies land
owned by others. Many of
them are gainfully employed
only half the year.
A large portion of the
farm population in the state
is established on small land
holdings and supplement
their income, as they can, by
securing other employment
from time to time. But local
resources in many areas are
depleted and supplementary
employment is not always
available.
During the past five years,
50,277 persons in North Carolina
previously employed in
other fields of work have
turned to the farm. A large
group previously dependent
upon farming and part time
outside labor are now dependent
upon farming and relief.

To Discuss Farm
Social Problems
New Series Will Begin
Over Radio Farm Features
Hook-Up On Wednesday,
December 2.
A new series of radio talks
dealing with the social problems
of farm people will begin by
Robin Williams, assistant in rural
sociology at the North Carolina
Experiment Station, on the
Carolina Farm Features program
Wednesday, December 2.
Basing his talks on findings of
Experiment Station, Williams will
tell of the problems which sociological
workers have found among
the State's farm population. Tenantry,
with its many complications,
will be given a full discussion.
Many possible reforms in the
present system have been pointed
out and corrected as a result of
the work of the rural sociology
department. While other agricultural
departments are interested
in the conservation of natural resources,
the rural sociology department
is interested in the conservation
of human resources.
The first talks on this subject
delivered on the Carolina Farm
Features program were given
about one year ago by Dr. Horace
Hamilton, then head of the
department of rural sociology.
Inferior Trees
For Firewood
Forester Urges Citizens To
Use Only Inferior Or
Dead Trees For Fuel
This Winter
At this season farmers interested
in improving their woodlands
should go through their
timber stands and secure their
fuelwood by removing the dead,
crippled and diseased trees.
The healthy trees that remain
should be thinned lightly so that
they can make straight, vigorous
growth, advise the State College
Extension Service and Charles H.
Flory, forester of the Soil Conservation
Service.
But do not thin too heavily,
he warned, as the light coming
through the tops of the trees
should reach the ground floor of
the forest only in small spots. As
the sun passes overhead the lighted
spots will gradually move,
thus any one place on the ground
will not be dried out too much.
Although young trees growing
under older ones need a certain

Local Shrimping
Season Has Its
Various Angles
Although Highly Unsatisfactory
To Average Boat
Owner, Total Catches
Have Been Almost Normal
SEVERAL BUYERS
MOVED ELSEWHERE
Portion Of Fleet And Two
Buyers Moved To Rockwell,
S. C., Where Luck
Was Good Last
Week
From the point of view of the
average boat owner the local
shrimping season has been highly
unsatisfactory, but there have
been a few bright spots in an
otherwise bad year.
After a summer during which
practically no shrimp were taken,
boats began to make small caicnes
in September. One feature
about the shrimp was that they
were large, and had a good market
value. The shrimp were slow
in showing up in large quantities,
though, and the large -number
of boats using Southport as
headquarters were disappointed
with their catches except on two
or three days.
Despite this luck, figures reveal
that this year's total catch
is only slightly behind that of
last year. The explanation lies in
the fact that there are many
more boats here this fall.
Discouraged with the luck of
their boats, Louis Hardy and the
Wells Brothers have moved their
base of operations to points in
South Carolina! first to Georgetown
and later to Rockwell. Fodale
Brothers took their boats
and moved to Florida several
days ago.

BOXING TOURNEY
ATTRACTS INTEREST
Announcement last week of j]
plans for the Wilmington Star- l
News amateur boxing tournament
has created considerable
local interest. Apparently there
will be a number of entries
from the immediate vicinity of 1
j Southport.
Particularly does the idea of
a boxing tournament appeal
to the boys of Camp Sapona.
1 This sport was introduced last '
| winter at the camp, and sev- 1
j eral nice scrappers were dei
veloped. These men, and others
I who have come into the camp
! since that time, plan to begin
an intensive training campaign
J with their eye on the Star|
News tournament the week of !
January 10.
Phillip Buckheit, in charge
of the tournament, plans to
i visit Southport and Camp
! Sapona next week to meet
some of the boys and to talk
over plans for the bouts.
Two Methods Of
Curing Pork
; The Brine Cure Is Coming [
Into Popular Favor; Othr
i er Is Salt Cured Method i
The many methbds of curing J
pork are mostly variations of the !
two principal methods: the brine,
cure and the dry salt cure.
Common' salt is the basis of
all meat curing, said R. E. Nance,
professor of animal husbandry
at State College.
Sugar is sometimes added to
give a better flavor and to counteract
the tendency of the sale
to harden the meat. Salt peter
may be used also to give the i
meat a natural red color, it has |
some preservative effect, too. i

Turning, they saw the

Excitement ran riot. Every
man of the company had a

two shots. The deer came in
