Over in Columbus county the
A'accamaw Bank and Trust Com- 1
sany, with a branch at South- '
t>ort, has been interesting itself i
,n encouraging farmers to buy j (
setter milk cows and beef cattle. |
In many cases the bank has been j
jiving financial aid, and the Co- j *
umbus farmers are naturally
nuch interested.
The other day S. E. Memory,
prominent citizen of Whitcville,
vas talking to the representative
>f this paper. He asked, "Why
lon't you advocate more and bet- v
:er cows on the farms in Bruns- c
vick ? We have bought three cartji
oads for the farmers over in Co-1t
umbus." y
'That's nothing." Mr. Memory v
,vas told," you may have bought t
:hree car loads of fine cows t
imong the farmers over there in p
Columbus. But, here in Brunswick j;
ve have one farmer who has t
sought a whole car load, 40 head,
)t the finest Hereford heifers he t
x>uld find. I'm scheduled to go up ii
ind see them this afternoon, along t
with our county agent and Prince o
D'Brien, cashier of the local v
sranch of the bank. Mr. O'Brien c
mil the bank did not help in the g
suying of these cows. They were j
sot asked to. Nonetheless, he and I
the bank are both interested." a
The farmer in question who pur- s
hased the carload of Hereford a
rleifers, is J. J. Ramseur, of the
Daks Plantation above Orton.
Through an error the paper re- F
:ently credited the purchase of 1
he stock to the Oaks Plantation. F

in Brunswick is about as

in Mecklenburg. It is
probably older as a community.
In any case both places have
the undisputed rigftt to the
names they bear and the citizens
of neither place would
change the name for worlds.
Maybe Carl Goerch of the
State Magazine in Raleigh can
inaugurate a campaign to
teach folks who want to write
to somebody in Charlotte how
to spell the name of the place
as C-H-A-R-L-O-T-TE and not
Shallote. When he has finished
with that task he can turn
around and teach somebody, desirous
of writing somebody in
Shallotte, to spell it S-H-A-LL-O-T-T-E
and not Charlotte.
Both places will then get their

Warden Reports
Two Small Fires
County Forest Fire Warden
Dorman Mercer, of Bolivia, was
in town Monday. He reported
that two small woods fires had
occured during the dry and
windy days of the past week.
One of these blazes broke out
near Winnabow. It ocassioned
only small damage, as did the
other, which was on the River
Road near Old Town. The present
dry weather with frequent
high winds is causing all the
fire fighting forces to be constantly
on the alert.

Sales Records
All Dairy Farmers of Brunswick
County Are Urged
To Keep Accurate Records
Of Production
SUBSIDY PAYMENTS
ARE NOW AVAILABLE ]
These Payments Are Being
Made To Offset Increases
In The Dairy Feed
Costs Since September,
1942
All dairy farmers of Brunswick
County should keep accurate records
of sales of whole milk, cream,
or butter in order to obtain payments
which will be made to '
farmers by the War Food Administration
to offset increases in 1
dairy feed costs since September, 1
1942, it was announced today by j
C. O. Bennett, chairman of the J
County AAA Committee.
"This payment was announced
sometime ago by the War Food '
Administration, and at that time 1
farmers were asked to maintain J
records of all sales," he said. '
"These records are essential if <
farmers are to receive their pay- 1
ments. The rate of payment in I
all North Carolina counties has i
been set at- 40 cents per 100 '
pounds for whole milk and 5 I
cents per pound for butterfat 1
Since payments are based on I
poundage, dairymen should make <
make certain that records furnish- i
oH thpm hv huvers show the hun- i
dredweight, and not merely the
quantity of butterfat in the milk." i
Payments to producers will be t
made by draft direct upon sub- 1
mission to the County AAA Com- <
mittee of satisfactory evidence of <
the quantity of milk or butter- J
fat sold. Present rates will be ap- I
plicable to sales during October, i
November, and December. i
Mr. Bennett said statement i
normally furnished producers 1
selling whole milk to cooperative
associations, milk distributors, or <
evaporated plants, cheese factor- i
ies, or other such concerns will '
constitute satisfactory evidence, <
provided the statement shows the I
quantity of whole milk delivered.

A couple of weeks ago this
paper had a little feature story
concerning the Neighborhood
Clubs in Brunswick. County
Agent Dodson was quoted as
saying that it was the best organization
in the county. Each
Neighborhood has" a leader
whose duty it is to pass on interesting
and timely information
to his Neighborhood.
It is obviously impossible for I
the County Agent to contact
all farmers in the county without
aid. The Neighborhood
Leaders provide the needed aid.
This week the State Port Pilot
got hold of a copy of a letter
that was being mailed from the
agent's office to Neighborhood
Leaders, The heading of the letter

very little frost in that area.
Still, it was plenty cold Monday

This early frost will naturally
