Farmers Cooperate '
With AAA Program
Many Brunswick farmers are
taking advantage of the liberal
soil conservation payments offer
ed by the AAA and are signing
14P for conservation materials at
a great rate, according to J. J.
Hawes of the Supply office of the
AAA.
" Mr. Hawes states that interest
ed farmers will have until Nov
ember 2nd to file their applica
tions for Austrian Winter Peas,
ryegrass, vetch and crimson clover
seed. All orders must be in at
the office not later than the
above date.
About one-eighth of the entire
U. S. meat production is in sau
sage.

Champion Of Glean Milk
ALBUQUERQUE, N. M.? Clean milk and milk products will
always command a good market, according to Secretary of Agricul
ture Clinton P. Anderson, who isn't worrying about farm suprluses ?
either on his own 600-acre dairy farm-ranch near Here, or on the
nation's farm front. He believes the war actually stimulated the
market for milk and milk products. Hore he is shown examining
one of the milking machines used 'on his farm. Anderson is particular
about maintaining high standards of farm cleanliness because he is
convinced that American farmers must continue to improve quality
and production of their milk in order to hold the peak market. The
Secretary milks about 150 cows.

Be Back At Their Old
Winter Quarters At The
Brunswick River Bridge
About November 1st
Filling an engagement next ,
week at Shallotte will leave the ]
R. & S. Amusement with just
one more week on the road be
fore returning to its winter quar
ters on Route 74 and 17, between
Woodburn and the Brunswick
River Bridge.
At these winter quarters of the
show Jimniie Raftery, the owner,
has been acquiring valuable land
and buildings. Away for several
months while the show is on tour,
his return to winter quarters is
usually attended by much build
ing activity in addition to the
complete overhauling of the show
and equipment preparatory to the
next season.
While at home last winter Mr.
Faftery laid plans for the con
struction ' of a big night club
building on a portion of his pro
perty near the bridge. Conditions
prevented the start of this under
taking last year, but he hopes to
be able to carry out the night
club building plans this winter.
May Help With
Better Housing
Owners Of Clarendon
Plantation May Nfake
Some Of Their Housing
Facilities' Available For
Use
Feeling keenly the lack of facil
ities in Brunswick county for
tourists, there is a possibility that
Mr. and Mrs. Neil Thomas, own
er of Clarendon Plantation on
the Cape Fear, may open up ac
commodations this winter or in
the near future.
Besides the 16-room plantation
house property which Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas occupy as a residence,
they have another nearby 8-room
residence. For only the two peo
ple this is too much room and
the couple, like many other
Brunswick people, are aware of
the shortage of quarters for
tourists and hunters in this coun
ty
Clarendon is often described as
one of the most beautiful homes
in the Southeast by people who
visit there. In addition to the fine
home it has the most beautiful
surroundings in its grounds. Sit
uated right on the river it affords
a beautiful view of and during
the winter its waterfront swarms
with ducks. The woods and fields
also provide fine hunting through
out the seasons.
Building Boom
Causes Theft
As pleasing as it is to him to
see Brunswick county building up
some methods are being adbpted
that are not satisfactory to R.
D. White, of Shallotte. He would
prefer that all building plans and
arrangements be open and shut
affairs.
Mr. White recently figured in
a transaction that was not open
and shut. Some busy beaver of
a builder busted into his ware
house and stole his 125 bags of
cement, with which he was in
tending to do some building of
his own.
Fishermen Busy Along
Continued From Page One
this paper happened to visit one
of the little fisheries while it
was in operation on the river near
Shallotte Point.
Four men composed this out
fit. They were R. H. Leonard,
J. J. Leonard, L. Leonard and
S. D. Milliken. Where more than
two persons operate a fishery
there is always a headman,
especially if the sein has indi
vidual ownership. When one man
owns the sein a share of the
catch goes to it, making one
share more than the number of
men working. If the whole group
owns the sein the number of
shares corresponds to the number
of men working and all unite in
the upkeep of the outfit.
R. H. Leonard was the head
man at the fishery visited and
it is understood His three com
panions all had joint ownership
in the 150-yard sein. They were
just completing a haul when the
newsman arrived. Pulling their
net to the bank it was found to
have only about 50 or 60 pounds
of medium sized mullets and a
few spots. The weather was off
for good fishing that day and the
small catch was not especially
disappointing.
As soon as possible after the
fish were removed the net was
made ready for another haul if
any fish came along. The fish
were not moving, however, and
after waiting for an hour the net
was taken from the boat and
hung on its rack to dry in readi
ness for the next day.
In addition to the mutually
owned sein all four of the fisher
men had individually-owned gill
nets, each about 45 feet in length.
When it became apparent that no
other hauls could be made with
the seln during the afternoon the
gill nets were made ready, each
in the bow of a boat. The al
ready tired fishermen then turn
ed too for an hour or two of
sleep in their "shacks," waiting
for night and individual opera
tions with the gill nets.
The newsman happened around
again at just about dark. The
small landing was then found to
be alive with fishermen, each
with his own boat and net, ready
to go out in the sound and try
his own luck.
They work without regard to
hours, when and where fish are
to be found. Many of them fish j
only at night with their gill i
nets, having neither ownership or ,
a working interest with the sein I
crews and apparently with more J
faith in their individual opera- '
tions. It would have been in- j
teresting to wait and see what
the individuals brought in, but
such a wait had possibilities of
entailing an all-night stay there (
on the beach. Almost every boat
man took a snack of food with
him when he ambarked on his
lone voyage and some took fry
ing pans for the purpose of creat-j
ing their own provender. All of
the boats had the traditional wa
ter jug in accordance with the
rule of the sea and river that
no boat shall put out at night or
in stormy weather without hav
ing drinking water aboard.
During periods of* the year,
headman Leonard said, when
there are no fish the men work
at different things, just anything
that comes to hand- The soil
near the coast is not very well
adapted to farming but fine
patches are found and about all
of them do some gardening. They
also work at carpentering, boat
building and anything that comes
to hand during such times when
they cannot turn to their beloved
fishing.

Enough Food is no Accident
It is no accident that the largest crops in our
history arc being harvested this year when we,
and the rest of the world, need them most.
In spite of war, loss of labor and little new
equipment, the American farmer has again
taken care of us and provided a life-saving
surplus for abroad.
How do our farmers do it? How is it that
only sixteen per cent of our people can feed -all
of us and go on breaking records in the face of
circumstances which slow up industry?
There are three reasons: First, farmers work
harder and longer than most other Americans.
Second, they know how to make the best use
of tools. And, third, they have a long-standing
parthership with industry seeking to satisfy
their urge to get more out of the land for the
same labor. Farmers are still practicing the kind
of enterprise that built America.
National lhanhs arc due the farmer for the
job he has do'ne in the last five years. I niivrsal
respect is due him for his foresight in helping
industry equip farms to meet a whole series
of emergencies.
BUT . ; ; we should not crowd our luck, or
the farmer's luck either. Too many farm tools
are now worn out. Without new ones produc
tion may go down. Farmers need over eight
hundred million dollars'1 worth of new imple
ments and equipment. It is up to industry
and labor to keep wheels turning to producc
them, but any recurrence of strikes would
prevent this.
America should see that the hard-working
farmer gets what he needs.
