James Edward Baker Of
Wilmington Narrowly Escapes
Being Burned To
Death When Tanker Hit
James Edward Baker of Wilmington
narrowly escaped being
burned to death early Saturday |
morning when his 1942 White I
truck laden with kerosene was I
crashed into head-on by a truck I
said to be owned by the Carolina I
Chemical company of Wilmington I
and operated by Spurgeon Strick- I
land of Navassa in Brunswick
county but formerly of White- ?
ville. Strickland escaped with '
minor injuries.
Baker was possibly saved from I
death by the quick thinking of
a Negro, Jim Mitchell, who saw ,
the accident from a tobacco barn
nearby and rushed to the scene where
he pulled Baker from the
burning tanker. Only Mr. Baker's
hair was singed.
The accident occurred one mile e<
cast of Hallsboro on Highway 74 le
o'clock Saturday morn- hi

According to Sgt. J. R. Pridgen
of the State Highway Depart- a
nient, the tanker was travelling d<
west when the truck driven by
Strickland and headed east cut to c<

For Management
Of Pasture Land
extension Specialists Suggest
Four Major Points
In Working For Better
Pasture Management
Good management of permanent/
astures increases the amount of
razing on a given area of land;
nd increases the protein content
f the feed, resulting in larger
atal gains of beef or milk per
ere.
Extension specialists at State
'ollege suggest four major points
1 working for better pasture
ranagement. Fi:st, the pasture
liould not be grazed too early in1
Ire spring, not until the grasses
ave made a growth of about 6
a 8 inches and firmly established
hemselves.
Second, overgrazing of the pasJUST

tures, especially during long i
periods in summer, reduces
total amount of grazing. Si
temporary grazing crops as s
beans, cowpeas, and Sudan gr
can be used to bridge over
dry periods when grasses
come tough -and low in graz
value. Kudzu is another gi
crop for this period.
'Third, keep down weeds by I
or three mowings of the p
ture during the summer monl
Weeds reduce the yields of gr:
es and compete with them

Fourth, fertilize the paste

When legumes are included
the permanent pasture seen
mixtures, they help to prod
more grass.
