Hi? Trained Bird* For
The "Gulf Stream Team",
consisting of six blue-blooded
homer pigeons from the flock i
of D. E. Leonard and Wiley |
Sholar at Greensboro, is being
jumped from Goldsboro to their
loft in Greensboro today. Friday
night the birds will be
brought to Southport by Mr.
Sholar and Saturday morning
they will be released for a test
flight home.
For two weeks or longer this j
team of homers have been taken
to points 200 miles or more
from Greensboro, twice each
week, and released for their
flights home. Trips which they
have always made in good
time. The workouts are prelimary
to bringing them to
Southport again on the 25th of |
this month and taking them out j
to Frying Pan lightship. They j
will be released there to carry ,
home reports of the catches j
that have been made.
Several times recently this
and other newspapers have i
spoken of these birds as car- [
rier pigeons. This is an error, j
The carrier pigeon is rather |
much of a show type, but is
often used to carry messages.
The birds that are being j
brought here are genuine rac- :
ing homers.

The U. S. Army Engineers office

In the event the submitted bids
for the work are too high the
government will probably do the

This Week-End To Release
A Trial Spin Home
While the subject of pigeons ]
is up, it may be interesting to
mention here that the longest
flight on record made by a racing
homer, was from Indo, China
to Airus, France. The
pigeon that made this flight J
was named the Always Faithful.
It flew the entire distance
of 7,200 miles In 24 days, j
an average of 300 miles per
day. Homer pigeons do not fly
by night, their journeying is
continuous between the hours
of sunrise and sunset. They
alight and roost wherever sunset
overtakes them on a journey.
t
It is also interesting to recall
that during the World !=
War a homer pigeon, "CherAmi",
saved the "Lost Batallion"
from extinction by getting
through with a message to
the reserves after all other
methods of communication had
failed.
Mr. Sholar and Mr. Leonard
have offered a free present of
six young homers, of training '
age to the Brunswick County
Chamber of Commerce. Another
offer of a present of a
like number of the birds has
been made by George Stellings
of the Outdoor Advertising
Agency in Wilmington.

It seems that a hen was at

Recently the rooster essayed
to sit or set on 18 eggs. One

the ursurptlon of her rights.
Time and again Mrs. Smith
had to restore peace by forcibly
hanlshlng the rooster from
the nest. It was during one of
these periods of banishment ,
that the hen brought 15 bid- "

decision Of Great Signifi- Sc
cance To Those Who I

Marketing Quotas
For 1940
The provisions of the Agricul- ga
ural Adjustment Act which will .
govern marketing of the flueured
and Burley tobacco and a]]
otton in 1940 have been com- el<
iletely upheld in a criminal case
igainst a group of Cleveland cj,
bounty farmers, according to E. pa
f. Floyd, AAA executive officer M(
if N. C. State College.
In the first criminal prosecution ^
n the Nation involving cotton
inder the Farm Act, Federal
udge E. Yates Webb levied a
125 fine on each of the 10 de- pr
endants who pleaded guilty to at
harges of aiding and abetting pr
vasion of penalties incurred on
otton marketed in excess of their q
narketing quotas. In addition, the |aj
:ourt ordered the defendants to Ei

"This decision is of great sig- lc
lificance to farmers who have nj(
roted for and will use the Na- jj,
ional marketing quotas for 1940",
^loyd commented. "The way is jS
lleared to enforce the law against mi
iny person who has sought or j0
vill attempt to evade the pro'isions
and penalties of the mar- Df
teting quotas for cotton and to- th
lacco. Cooperators in the farm
irogram can be assured that they re,
vill have the full protection of Bi
he law in their efforts to ob- x.
ain better net income and avoid (je
vasteful surpluses". Vi
Floyd urged farmeia and busi- ge
less men who are in doubt about m
heir responsibilities under the
narketing quota provisions to ?
lonsult their county AAA com- I
nittees for further information.
fhe quota provisions of the farm
irogram will be enforced by both

" Following 'Talk
Thad Eure, secretary of state,
lelivered the commencement adIress
before members of the graluating
class at Southport high
chool Friday night and spoke
arnestly to the seniors about the
lorious history of the State of
forth Carolina.
Tracing first the growth of the
tate, the state official said that
he first census figures for North
Carolina appear to be an estinated
4,000 inhabitants in 1675.
fot one year since has passed
rithout an increase in population,
le said. He told how, in 1831,
he state spent a total of $531,00
for the erection of the presnt
capital building in Raleigh.
"his was done, he pointed out,
yhen the annual tax revenue for
he state was less than $100,000.
Then Mr. Eure showed the wislom
of this expenditure and the
:areful planning that preceeded
ts erection, it still nouses tne
iffices of the governor, members
if the state council, both houses
if the legislature and the state
udiciary. "Although other stats
luildings have been erected about
he capital grounds, and although
he cost of several of these has
ar exceeded the cost of erecting
mr beautiful capital, in not one
nstance has one of these new
mildings been designed to overihadow
the beauty of our statelouse".
Speaking of the cmpl'asis that
las been place-i in rcf |nt, years
ipon advertising Nortli Caroiir.a
ind 'ler natural resources, Secreary
of State Eure said that the
firls and boys under 21-years of
ige, who comprise over one-half
he population of over three and
me-half million persons in the
itate, are the finest asset of ,
vforth Carolina.
He said that of all the boards
vhich his position of secretary of
itate makes him an ex-officio
nember, his position on the state
>oard of education affords him
nore satisfaction than all the
ithers. He said that he was
hankful that North Carolina has
nade the education of its youth
ts.biggest, business.
The challenge of unemployment
ind world unrest places the burlen
squarely up to the boys and
[iris of the present generation to
ipen up new frontiers, he said, so
hat 25 years from now others
nay say with justifiable pride

s'orth State". "?
Mr. Eure's address followed on B
he heels of William Sellers' sal- I
