Agriculture N As Well As i Agriculture Both a Business As Well As A Way Of Life Cardweli Quotes From The Forward Of Experiment Station's Report By Robert G. Salter FARMER TAKES GREAT GAMBLE Farmer Is Engaged In Speculative Enterprise That Leaves Him At The Mercy Of Natural Forces BY GUY A. CARDWELI, I am using below lengthy excerpts from the Foreword prepared by Robert M. Salter, Director, North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station, to accompany the Station's report for the biennium ending June 30, 1940. This foreword is so interestingly and helpfully expressed that I am sure it will give pleasure and bring profit to both the readers of the report and to readers of this article: "Agriculture is both a business anri a wav nf life. Its practice combines both art and science. Upon its productivity depends both the economic and social welfare of the Nation. "The farmer is engaged in one of the most speculative of enterprises. His business is to produce living plants and animals whose laws of growth are still imperfectly understood. He is at the mercy of natural forces, for the most part beyond his control. He must sell his wares in markets subject .to economic forces equally beyond his control. Precise rules for success cannot be laid down. Neither is success measurable in terms of dollars alone. Satisfactions, many wholly unrelated to cash income, are a part of successful life on the farm. "On every farm, the experience of the farmer himself, that of his neighbors around him, and the accumulated knowledge handed down by past generations on the land, furnished much of the basis for sound farming practice. Every wise farmer knows, however, that gaining new information to meet new conditions alone is apt to be a slow and costly process (Continued on page 4) Sergeant Land Out Fror First Sergeant Roy E. Tilly of Camp Davis had a 35-minute battle with a seven foot sail fish while fishing aboard the Torobil Sunday. The Sergeant came off victorious, boated his prize and carried it off a prisoner to the camp. Another Sergeant, John R. Maham, got messed up with two barracuda, one of them weighing above 40-pounds. The 'cuda's are fairly tough customers, but Sergeant Maham boated both of these two, brought them in and carried them off to Camp, along with the sail. Another barracuda fell a victim to Colonel M. E. Kurtz. Lieut. Colonel W. L. Moore and Captain R. W. Freeman, who completed the Torobil's party, had no luck, outside of getting a strike or two.

Marriage Permit Business Booms After going from June until well along in October without selling a marriage license to a white couple, business suddenly picked up during the past few days at the local office of Register of ! Deeds. Last week Frarik Lee of Miami, Fla., and Rita Dare Caison of Southport purchased their permit to wed, and on Saturday night there was a big rush on marriage licenses. One license was issued to Albert Bogie and Dorothy Jones, both of Southport and an! other to Thomas Griffith of Wil| mington and Mable Jane Lewis of Winnabow. j Freeland Lady Dies At Home, Mrs. Emma Russ Dies Following Extended Illness; Funeral Services Monday Afternoon Mrs. Emma Russ, 73, died yes- 1 | terday morning- at her home near > J Freeland at 9:30 o'clock.
