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.

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. (Continued on Page 4) 'eople In Live On Farm 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. > , .... ? _r.- 1 _ \TE J Newspaper Ii Southport, N.

Enough Shirt-Tai To Have If they followed the usual custom of cutting off the shirt-tail of each man who missed a fair shot at a deer, a hunting party composed of Joseph Hufham, Frankie Gross, Lacy Wise and Charlie Allen last Thursday would have contributed enough material for an old-fashioned quilting party.

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 (Continued on Vaee 4) Progressive Supper For Church Benefit Members of the Southport Baptist church will serve a progressive supper Thursday evening, December 3, the proceeds to go for the benefit of the church.

POR' n A Good Com Inesday, November 25 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.

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 (Continued on Page 4) Visiting Minister Preach ed Su n day The Rev. J. T.
