SOUTHPORT, July 29.?The
"Idle On." skippered by the fa
ther of diepsea fishing in South
eastern North Carolina, Captain
Hulan Watts? guided a party of
Whiteville fishermen to the shoals
off Southport Tuesday.
Messrs. Noel Dunicant, E. W.
Harrisson, W. H. Lewis, W. C.
Black, A. W. Baldwin and Otis
L. Washam's catch of 102 Blue
fish proves that this species is
running ahead of schedule this
year and is proof that the north
west winds which have switched
from the south are making these
fast-striking game fish open up
dinner baskets. They are fast and
hungry. A fine time was had by
all aboard and everyone returned
to Whiteville in great spirit.
The South Eastern North Car

being swelled by the many fine

HEDRICK SEES POSSIBILITY OF
OPENflVG DAY PRICE OF $56.50
Opening Day Price of $56
Marketing Specialist Dis
cusses Outlook For To
bacco On Border Belt
Markets
If the calculations of the State.
Department of Agriculture's top j
tobacco expert are correct leal |
prices might hit a high of $56.50 j
per hundred pounds when thl [
.seven North Carolina Border Bell |
Smaikets open sales Tuesday.
| Marketing Specialist W. P.
Hedrick bases his estimates on
| the opening prices at the Georgia-1
[Florida Belt markets, where sales
|began last Thursday. Sales for!
j the first two days showed an
j average of $52.53 at those cen-1
Iters, said Hedrick, and the gov
' ernment sets a price differential,
i of 4 cents a pound between the
Georgia-Florida and Border Belt
I tobacco. Hie reason for the dif
ference is that tobacco offered
for sale on the Border Belt is;
tied, whereas that sold in Georgia
and Florida is not.
Thus, Hedrick figures, the aver
ages on opening sales on the
Border Belt probably will reach
a figure around $56.50.
Calculating further, Hedrick
figures that the entire season's
average on the Border Belt might
run. around 34 per cent Qver the
seasonal average of $42.59 per
hundred recorded last year. He
bases his estimate on a computa
tion of last year's opening price
and the season average and the
expected opening price this year.
Hedrick declares, however, that
there's always considerable dan
ger in basing predictions on open
ing day averages. Initial sales
seldom give a true picture of the
situation, he says, and when the
level-off comes after several days
Of sales the price picture might
be changed considerably.
Hedrick figures that the
State's flue-cured growers will
produce about 24 per cent less
tobacco this year than in 1947.
Last year's production amounted
to 892,205,000 pounds, while the
best estimates place this year's
crop at around 681,050,000
pounds. If predictions of a 34 per
cent increase in prices hold true

Recruiting Not
Affected By Law
The Army and the Air Force
recruiting campaigns to enlist
three-year volunteers will con
tinue without let-up although
draft legislation has been passed,
Lieut. Charles J. Markus said
here today.
The two Services will continue
to rely on voluntary enlistments
as the principal means of obtain
ing needed manpower, Lieut.
Markus explained. The Selective
Service Act will be used only to
make up the difference between
authorized strength and the num
ber of volunteers.
