during the few years
that the conservation set-up has

Mr. Mintz stated Saturday that
the Cape Fear District is now c>
ready to receive applications from i
farmers and land owners for as- t
sistance in soil conservation. In r
the area which he visited last c
week, the program called mostly i
for terracing and strip planting a
of crops. In Brunswick the work r
will consist largely of drainage c
and advance in the planting of t
legumes and soil improvement
crops. An application for assist- a
ance does not entail any obliga- fe
tion on either the party making s
it or the soil conservation district, t
Regular printed blanks may be ii
obtained from the district office t
at Shallotte, from the County v
Agents and AAA office at Supply, t
and from Agricultural teachers in
the schools of Brunswick. s
As previously stated in this h
paper, the Cape Fear Soil Con- a
servation District is composed of a
Bladen, Brunswick, Columbus and a
Pender counties. The area cover- c
ed is approximately 2,007,000 a
acres. Each county in the district i
has a soil conservationist.
The crop land of the four coun- |
ties in the distrcit was utilized
as follows, using the year 1942 for
basic figures: Corn, 113,000 acres;
TObacco, 31,500 acres; Peanuts,
16,040 acres; cotton, 15,120 acres;
Truck crops, including Sweet and j

Little .22 Rifle
Vs. Great Big Bear
Hie biggest killing of the
season, considering the size of
the weapon, occured near
Supply thies past week. A
bear had been making free
with the corn and other crops
of the Phelps boys and Warren
Phelps took his little .22
rifle and went out to see
what he could do about it.
He found the bear in a
corn field, filling himself with
nourishment against the com- i
ing of the winter. The shot I
from the .22 apparently <
caught the bear in a very <
vulnerable and painful spot as I
he started performing all sorts ]
of antics. Young Phelps pour- i
ed half a dozen more shots i
into him. i
The result of engagement I
was one very dead bear, |
which weighed 400 pounds
when dragged to the scales.
