Many Boats In
Creek Sunday
Town Creek Was Scene Of
Much Fishing Activity As
Anglers Sought To Take \
Advantage Of Good
Weather
One of the Bolivia high school
girls who lives at Winnabow stat
ed Monday that about every
available boat on Town Creek
at the bridge was hired by fish
ing parties Sunday.
The day happened to be the
prettiest and warmest of the
year. A result was that only
about half a dozen Rocjtfish or
strippers were caught. Unlike
most other fish, the rock has to j
have clear and cold weather to
get much action out of them. The
colder it is the better they usual
ly bite.
Among the half-dozen fish re
portedly caught in Town Creek
Sunday one 11-pounder was taken
by a lady who had never before
caught a fish of any sort or size.
Despite the fact that hundreds
of the rocks have been caught ill
various streams in Brunswick
since Christmas, the sport has j
been far from being as good as j
it should have been. Excessive1
rains, flood and muddy waters |
kept sportsmen off and al<n kept;
the fish from biting like they
should. Interviews with half a
dozen sportsmen who know some- [
thing about these fish indicate a
general belief, that the fishipg will
be at its best during the month
of March.
And Town Creek, one of the
best streams in the county for
these fish, will have something
cfJH
..... uuvc suinetmng
still more interesting to offer the
fishermen about the first of April.
The runs of herring wUl be on
about then and will last for sev
eral weeks. Scores of boats are
taken to various points on Town
Creek during the herring runs.

Benefits Of Soil

County Farmers|
H M. Stott, District Conser- J
vationist Presents Pro- j
gram At Weekly Meeting
Of Rotaly Club
The progress made through soil
conservation practices in keeping
tables of America filled vwth
good things to eat was emphasiz
ed Thursday evening at t
Whitcville Rotary Club meeting.
H M Stott. district soil con
servationist. who is a member of
the club,' presented a program
outlining what has beenl dones and
is being attempted in the Lower
Cape Fear Soil Conservation Ser
vice District.
As a background, two films.
"Food and Soil" and "Wetlands/'
were shown. There were supple
mented by a brief talk by Ro
tnrian Bill Hooks, prominent Co -
lumbus County farmers, who call
ed attention to the soil situation
I growing out of increased popula
tion.
Reminding Whiteville business
'men that they were ndw using
I many lots formerly ignored, Mr.
i Hooks said the same condition ap
' plied to farmers. As the popula
tion grew larger and the demand
for food increased, farmers
sought to find new fields for pro
duction. He cited how this search
I had put plows on hillsides and
brought about erosion At this
point, it was a God-send that the
I soil conservation service was in
'nugurated to help in terracing,
| strip farming and other conserva
tion practices," Mr. Hooks de
clared.
I The speaker then reviewed the
I drainage efforts which have help
led to return many acres to pro
duction of food.
To cite specific instances of
'nrogfess, Mr. Stott presented A.
r Worley, chairman of the Grassy
Bay Drainage Association who
told how a few farmers of the
Cherry Grove section had joined
hands in constructing a drainage
system which had returned 900
acres to full production. He de
clared dramatically that 'I would
n't do away with our canal for
anything" and then said he had
received enough income from a.
abandoned strawberry plot in one
'year to pay for his share of the
project. Tim Strickland, another
leading farmer of the Cherry
Grove section was a guest of
CU\Voodrow Walters, chairman of
the Union Valley Drainage As
sociation northwest of Whiteville.
offered similar testimony. He said
the drainage system installed un
der the supervision of the boil
Conservation Service had resulted
in an estimated benefit of $4.800
to the eight participating farm
ers last year. He placed the 10
year benefit potential at a "con
servative $25,000."
Mr. Stott mentioned briefly
that the services of his group
had been provided to many farm
ers who had engaged in conserva
tion practices and had worked on
reclamation projects.
Other soil conservation men
present in addition to Mr. Stott
were Frank M. Glover, soil con
