Twenty Twi> Well Guarded:
Prisoners Of War Cutting,
Pulpwood At Dairy Two
Miles from aoutnport;^
Public Not Allowed To
Visit Or Talk To Them
A force of 22 German Prisoners
of War began cutting pulpwooil
for the Cana 1 Wood Corporation i
of Georgetown, S. C., at the Mag- J
nolia Dairy, two miles from town j
on the River Road, Tuesday I
morning. The men are sent here I
from a camp in New Hanover j
county and H. L. Clemmons, I
woods boss for the corporation, is
understood to be expecting to have
them and additional men working
for some time.
As prisoners of war the men!,
are not forced to do the work, j
They may either remain at the
prison camps in idleness or they 1
are provided with work and paid, j
for what they do. To be a prison-1
er of war means no work no pay,'
except for the very small sum >
that is paid for spending money
in accordance with the agreement
among nations. The men working
in* Brunswick are doing so in accordance
with their own desires.
All of the prisoners of war,
have the letters P. W., in large I
type, printed on the backs of their;'
shirts or coats to identify them. J
They are, of course, well guarded. je
They are also well fed and look- s
ed after. It is understood that the <
public is not allowed to talk to,'
them or even visit their camps or
the scenes of their operations. |l
Mr. Clemmons, who has had;
much trouble getting an adequate,
supply of labor for pulpwood cutting,
is very much gratified at'
getting this force of organized
workers.

MISTAKE THEY MADE |
Sheriff C. P. Willette was
called to Leland Friday to Identlfv
the contents of a box that !
some school boys hooked and
drew to the surface while fishing
in the Cape Fear River. Hie
box contained bones and decoraposing
flesh and the boys
thought they had found part of
a human body. Following his investigation
the sheriff pronounced
the catch to be beef and
bones, evidently thrown in the
river by some one when it was
found to be spoiled.

The best commercial fish catch
of the year, and one that w|U
especially interest sports fishermen,
was made yesterday by Captain
H. T. Watts and his brother,
Sam Watts, Jr., they brought in
twelve hundred pounds of extra
large blue fish, all caught at one
set of their net.
With only three men managing
the boat, the catch was a profitable
one for a day. The fish are
said to have brought a total of
$350.00, which would me a good
days wage for each of the three
men.
Watts, widely nown for sport
fishing, is now doing commercial
work until restrictions are lifted.
His catches of so many blues and

Tires Available
To All Drivers
Some Grade Of Tire. Available
For Motorists in
Every Passenger Graup
Effective May 1, eyery passenger
car operator will be able to
establish eligibility for some
grade of tire, officials of the local
war Price and Ration Board announced
yesterday.
All drivers holding a supplemental
gasoline ration for occupational
driving may apply for a
Grade I tire. All persons holding
a basic ration will be eligible for
a Grade II tire, officials stated.
When the milSage rationing pro'
?ram was put into effect on December
1, 1942, every driver was
permitted to apply for some grade
of tire. Persons allowed the most
mileage were made eligible for
tires capable of furnishing the
most miles. Persons hiving lower
mileage allowances were restricted
to the lower quality tires.
As the tire situation gradually
tightened and the available tires
disappeared from market, it was
necessary to restrict eligibility for
the remaining tires. On May 1,
1943, due to the almost complete
disappearance of Grade II's (lower
quality new tires), they were
placed in the Grade 1 classifies-1
tion. On July 1, 1943, because of
decreased stocks on Grade 11 tires]

ket
COUNTY AGENT GIVES
HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS |
Tells Of Soil Preparation, a
Time Of Planting, Fertil- j
ization And Cultivation
For Best Results
With Crop
For several years the sweet
potato crop in Brunswick has
grown increasingly important.
Likewise the quality of the product
has increased. Farmers are tfl
rapidly learning that a sound,
medium sized, potato is much 'I
more in demand by the market
and also for home consumption,
than a large, uneven product ' ]
With the planting season nearing,
County Agent Dodson gives thO
following suggestions regarding I i
the crop.
Sweet potatoes yield best and
produce a better product on well- H
drained, light sandy soil or silt
loam soil with a pH 5.0 (strongly
acid). It is important not to plant
on soils where sweet potatoes |l
have been erown for the nast sev
jeral years or on soil where too
j much lime or basic slag has been
applied.
Good soil preparation is half the
cultivation. Thorough plowing, S
but not too deep, ridging of rows
and applying fertilizer well in advance
of setting plants or vines JH
will mean a sweet potato crop |H
practically made. A well prepared IjH
seed bed will not only produce 19
more potatoes, but will reduce uH
cultivating cost and improve the M
quality.
From 1,000 and 1,200 pounds of || J
a 3-9-9 fertilizer is necessary for
the economic pro duction of sweet fit
potatoes for Eastern North Caro- " JH
lina. The fertilizer should b?
" plied in tne row, arid thooruifriy j
mixed with the soil before ridging, ^
at least a week to 10 days before
setting. Barnyard manure should
not be used as a sweet potato r
fertilizer. Numerous . experiments jJ|
indicate that 20 to 25 pounds of
Borax added per ton of 3-9-9 fertilizer
will improve the quality
and . reduce growth cracks of the 1 'I
sweet potatoes. nf

for marketing the last of August
