Hcjv on January 3rd, 1944. I
Ht is understood that alt high <

jays. One of the arguments
these revised dates, it is unstoP'i,
is to allow teachers time

iy living at a distance from
schools in which they teach
lid hardly be able to do this if

Grew Lespedza
On A Big Scale (
IVaccamaw Township
Farmer Planted Fifty S
Acres in This Wonderful
Hay and Legume Crop,
Farmers are Saving Seed
Manlon C. Gore, prominent
IVaccamaw township farmer, livng
near Longwocd, went into the
trowing of lespedza on a pretty w
arge scale this year. He planted tl
50 acres in the grass and his cut- c<
ting totalled 125 tons of hay, an le
ivarage of 2 and a half tons to a
the acre. He has been offered $30.- n<
)0 per ton FOB cars, for the en- ir
tire crop. ts
The lespedza was sown in February,
topping off a crop of oats tl
in which hogs grazed In addition L
to the lespedza hay crop the oats ic
may also be counted for the same ni
acreage and the lespedza gave the U
land fertilizers to the value of $6 - s<
DO to $10.00 for the crop that fol- fi
lows after. u;
Brunswick farmers are rapidly ci
becoming greatly interested in
lespedza. In fact, farmers all over ?
the south are becoming that way. rr
In idadtion to the wonderful hay 11
crop that it produces it is in- S
valuable for the legumes that it a.
gives the land on which it is g
planted. A great many farmers ?
are now growing it for hay, allowing
it to reseed itself on the r<
same land. Others are growing it S
for seed. Among the farmers who c;
grew to produce seed this year s
are: J. W. Stanley, J. R. Sim- li
mons, L. M. Babson, W. B. Ed- ti
ward and R. M. Edwards, all of d
Waccamaw .township. f

ain the making of income tax ki

ie three per cent Victory Tax. J *
The number of Brunswick farm-1 r?
s who must pay income tax is t &
)t so very large, but when itj
imes to the Victory Tax it is j
itimated that more than 1000 of j e(
ir farmers must file for andj t\
ty that. The approximately 200 ec
irmers who got their blanks and 0i
id the victory tax explained to b<

ie fifth of the actual number n
ho will have to file and pay.
Commentating on the situation,

Fishermen all along the Brunsick
coast appear to think ttat
ley may yet be able to make
msiderable catches of roe mults,
they say that if rains and
cold north wind comes in the
sxt few days the fish will form
i schools where they can be
iken by the shore fisheries.
Meanwhile scattered catches of
le roes are being made. At the
ittle Beach Fishry, near Shalitte,
one day this past week, 600 jr
ices roes were taken. They to- t
tiled 2,346 pounds in weight and ol
)ld for ten cents per pound. The hi
shermen making the catch are E
ndcrstood to have made $27.75 n>
ich in shares. b'
pood catches of the smaller lo- tl
jl or inlet mullets are. being ?
lade daily. One fishermen sold b
50 bunches at a quarter each, at o
hallotte Saturday afternoon. Half ri
dozen other fishermen, all with ri
ood catches, were completiting a
'ith him with, their offerings. u
Oysters are also abundant and n
sadily obtainable at Shallotte, tl
upply and other points at practi- o
ally all times. They are of a nice s
ize but are described as being a F
ttle salty to the taste at this b
ime. This is due to the prolonged n
ry weather and the absence of s
resh water in tidal streams. s

In the hope that at least |

will be permitted next year, j
Skipper H. T. Watts, of South- j
port; has purchased a new boat.
The craft, a 40-footer, is now
being used for shrimping. It is
a good craft and of the right
proportions to be converted in- j
to an ideal craft for sail-fishing. j
That is just what the Captain |
plans to use it for.
But his plans for after the
war, or its slacking up, do not I
end with just having one med- !
ium sized boat for sail fishing j
and for use on the shoals. Cap- !
tain Watts stated this past |
week that he hoped to also get
a real honest-to-goodness sport
fishing craft and have it out on

Censorship Rules

Revised Codes Which EnCouraee
More Liberal |
Presentation of New# Are
Now Effective
The following statement was issued
today by the Office of Censorship:
Revised Codes for press and radio,
designed to encourage a more
liberal presentation of war news
in publications of all classes and
on the air, have been completed
and will become effective immediately.
Numerous restrictive requests of ;
the Government have been elimi- i
nated. Others have been modified.
Not a single new request has been
added.
The changes are expected to
open the way for more new# re-j:
garding, among other thir.g6, war!
production; operations of the.
Merchant Marine: diplomatic nc-j
gotiations not directly connected 1,
with military operations; and weather
conditions. The weather <
modification was previously announced
but now is incorporated <
formally in the Codes for the first
time.
In addition, by amendment of
a basic clause of the Codes, the
Office of Censorship announces
its intention to assume wider responsibility
in clearing material of
all classes for publication and
broadcast, whether or not such
material has been announced officially
by other agencies of the
Government.
Director of Censorship Byron
Price said;
"Those revisions are the result
of discussions which have been in
progress for several weeks. On
October 12 when the Weather
clause was modified, it was announced
that further relaxations
were under consideration. Since

sports writers were just becoming
aware of the fact that
Frying Pan shoals of the Brunswick
coast offered some of the !
best big game fishing on the '
Atlantic, when the war came (
along and forced a discontinu- *
anoe of sport fishing. It may
be considered as assured that
any after the war program for C
this section will embrace the
development of what is offered
in big game fishing.
In an interview this week
Mayor John D. Eriksen frankly
volunteered his belief that
after the war he did not see
anything in the range of i>oesi- hl
bilitiea, and more worth striv- tl
ing for than the development of ir
sport fishing and tourist traf- F
fic. One of the essentials to this C
end will be a modern hotel or ri
club house where sportsmen and o;
tourists may obtain aocommo- fi
dations. It is believed that some- h
where on the yacht basin the
ideal location for such a club r
house or hotel can be found. $
