Time To Start
Planting Grain
County Agent J. E. Dodson
Says That Period For
Planting Oats For Best
Results October IS To
November 15
For that badly needed cover
and grain crop towards which all
Brunswick farmers should now
begin to give some attention, it
Is to be remembered that Oct
ober 15 to November 15 is the
best all-round period for sowing
? ?|X.
; oats in Brunswick county.
For grain, hay and a fair
amount of winter cover, there is
no winter crop for this area that
equals oats. The extension ser
vice says oats, the county agent
says oats and many a Brunswick
farmer has found out by person
al experience that there is no
winter crop that surpasses oats
for grazing, winter cover and the
crop of grain produced. This same
experience shows that the crop
should be planted October 15 to
November 15.
Wheat should be planted dur
ing the period between November
15 and December 15. This year
downy mildew did some damage

CATHOLIC INFORMATION
No Hen Ever Laid A Bad Egg!
The first egg that Ezra Hard
head ever ate was bad ? unques
tionably bad!
That was years ago, but with
Ezra the memory has become an
obsession. "All eggs are bad!" he
cries. "Away with them! Away
with the hen that lays them!" '
No use reasoning with Ezra. He's
an egg bigot.
Unfortunately "bad eggs" are
not confined to the' breakfast
table. Humanity too has its quo
ta?all races, ail clasps, all re
ligions. But the CaiuoliC "bad
egg" seems to smell taste
worse, and reflect i.^st on the
hen that lays it. Why is this,
when the Catholic Church claims
to be holy? Can a bad egg come
irom a good hen?
Certainly not! ?Jut bear in mind
that no hen ever laid a bad egg.
The eg g that makes you run for
dear life, was, when first laid,
just as fresh as the delicacy that
delights your palate and nourish
es your body. No fault of the hen
if a few of its products roll out
of their place in the scheme of
things, into the corrupting heat
of the world.
In like manner the Catholic
Church never produced a bad
man. The "bail egg" Catholic was,
immediately after Baptism, just
as pure as the saints and angels. J
No fault of the Church if a few
of its members, disregarding its
teachings, step out of their place
in God's plan for them, into the
corrupting influence of the world.
The hen was made to lay fresh
eggs; and it does. Its fruits arc
the source of great benefit for ,
man, and the propagation of the
chicken tribe. The Church was
made to bring man back to God;
and it does. Its fruits of the past
are the saints who rose to heroic
heights of sanctity because they
fallowed with all their hearts and
wills the teachings of the Church.
Its products of today include
many who, for the same reason,
will be saints cf the future; while
of its more than 338,386,000 liv- J
ing members, the vast majority
are sincere believers and doers,
of God's commands.
There will always be bad eggs,
bad Catholics, and bad red-hearer
fat men; but worse? far worse ?
there will always be Ezra Hard-j
heads !
If it's anything Catholic, ask
a Catholic! P. O. Box 351, White- 1

; to wheat, but the crop was a good
one.
In addition to planting oats,
rye, pasture grasses, etc., there is
another important crop that
should receive attention now. This
is Austrian Winter peas and other
! legumes.
Lay-Up Basin
Is Filling Up
About One Hundred Ships,
Many Of Them Visible
From The Highway, Have
Been Moored In Basin
i According to reliable report,
upwards of a hundred big ships
are now moored in the Bruns
wick River lay-in basin and sev
eral more are coming in daily.
Last week saw twelve go up and
two others come down.
The ships are being arranged
in three or four groups and some
of these groups are easily visible
from cars traveling over Route
17. It is understood that the ex
pectations are still for about 500
ships to be in the basin when it
finally fills up. Such a collection
of ships will naturally be of
considerable interest to tourists
and other travellers on Route 17
and also on the River Road.
Around 40 additional ships are
said to have been assigned for
immediate storage in the basin,
along with those already there,
others are assigned and moved in
as fast as the Maritime Commis
sion no longer needs them for
shipping.

Program
I President Truman has opened
an unprecedented self-denial of
fensive against hunger in Europe,
| asking food sacrifices from all
| Americans as their contribution
to world peace.
Mr. Truman asked his fellow
Americans ? starting at once ? to
give up meat on Tuesdays, eggs
and poultry on Thursdays and to
save a slice of bread every day.
In addition, the President has
demanded of the nation's grain
i exchanges the raising of the.
I down-payment requirement on
i grain purchases to 33 and one
! third percent.
I Mr. Truman says such a step
I is necessary to thwart what he
has referred to sharply as "gamb
lers in grain." ?
The President warned that if
| the grain exchanges refuse to
meet his demand, the government
| may step in and limit the amount
j of trading in wheat and other
grains.
Finally, Mr. Truman asked the
[ nation's distillers to shut down
completely? as soon as possible ?
for a sixty-day period. Industry
spokesmen describe this request
as a "bolt from the blue" but
predict that the answer will be
yes.
The President took his program
direct to the people, broadcasting
from the White House by radio ?
and for the first time ? by tele
vision.
Mr. Truman spoke along with
Chairman Charles Luckman of
his newly formed citizens' food
committee. Secretary of State
Marshall. Commerce Secretaiy
Secretary Clinton Anderson.
Averei: .Harriman and Agriculture
Luckman today begins to mob
ilize an organization inside and
outside the government to carry
on the gigantic program of food
conservation. Tht President de
clared the need for such a pro
gram in these words*
"If the peace should be lost be- '
cause Americans failed to share
their food with hungry people,
there would be no more tragic
example in all history of a peace
needlessly lost."

Pork Production
Prospects Good
Indications Are That In
crease Will Be Shown In
Hog Production Figures
For County This Year
"We are growing a pretty fair
crop of pork this year," so said
County Agent J. E. Dodson Mon
day when he was asked how it
was regarding the hogs and feed
for them.
He casually mentioned that O.
P. Bellamy of the Hickman's
Cross Roads community, McKin
ley Hewett, of Shallotte, and Paul
Brown, of Leland, each have a
600-pound hog. In addition to
their big hogs, Mr. Bellamy has
30 other nice ones, Mr. Hewett
20 and Mr. Brown 30. Each of
them have been raising their hogs
on pasture and the animals will
fatten out this fall on soybeans,
peanuts and fish meal.
"You cannot grow hogs and
make money at the business in
this county or anywhere else, un
less you have pasture for them,"
said Mr. Dodson. "The cost of
straight feeding on prepared and
home grown feeds is greater than
the product is worth. Give your
hogs a good pasture and grow
your own fattening feeds for
them. In that way you can make
money, the agent says."
Illustrating the value of good
pasture for hogs, Mr. Dodson cit- j
ed the achievement of John W. i
Sellers who has a fine farm three
miles north of Supply. Mr. Sellers
has a good hog pasture and has
been keeping a sow and ten hogs
per acre on this pasture all sum
mer. They received practically no
other feed than that which they
obtained by grazing. All of the
animals put on a lot of growth
from this pasturage and recently
Mr. Sellers cut a ton of fine hay
per acre.
This week Herbert Swain,
young farmer of the Bethel com
munity near Southport, is carry
ing a load of about 30 fin? hogs
to market. They were practically
raised on inexpensive pasturage.
