Southport Loses
Wilmington Game
New Hanover JV Squad
Pounded Out 56 To 0 Vic
tary On Their Own Field
Friday Afternoon
- I
In their first season of football
Southport high school had man-1
aged until Friday afternoon to
escape a humiliating defeat, a
penalty that any new squad is
expected to pay somewhere along
the road to experience. But in
their week-end engagement a red
hot Wilmington JV outfit caught j
them on an off-day and romped,
to a 56 to 0 victory.
According to Coach H. T. San
ders and the players themselves,
they couldn't do right for doing i
wrong; but they did manage to j
get a lot of' bad football out of j
their system.
The big wheels in the JV at- i
tack were David Alford and
Frank McNeil, each of whom
scored three times. Richard Hobbs
4
and Walter Hufman completed the
scoring parade with one touch-;
down each.
Southport failed to threaten
seriously to score, and after hold
ing the heavier Wilmington boys
on fairly even terms during the |
early part of the game they be- j
gan to wilt before the steam'
roller offense in the later stages.
In a contest played on the j
local field two weeks ago the
| Southport boys had made a very
creditable showing against their
strong rivals. Defeat Friday was
not unexpected, but the size of
the score is something the local
squad hopes to forget this week
as they prepare for their final
game of the season next Wednes
day at Chadbourn.

Thieves Enter Russ
Store Sunday Night
The store of B. A. Russ at
Grissettown was broken into Sun
day night and $12.00 in change
I that had been left in the cash
register was taken. Apparently no
goods were taken from the store.
Mr. Russ purchased the building
and stock from Jesse Clemmons
only last week.
On the same night the garage
of Oscar Grissette, adjoining the
Russ store, was broken into. Ap
parently nothing was taken from
this place, unless it was tools
used to break into the Russ store.
Mackeral Catch
Continues Good
Daily Catches Reported By
Off-Shore Parties Indicate
Presence Of These Fel
lows In Big Numbers
Catches of king mackerel have
continued unchecked over the past
week with something like a hun
dred of the . beautiful fish being
brought in each day by parties
out aboard five boats.
Along with the king mackerel
about an equal number of bonita
have been caught and some am
berjack and dolphin. The sharks
have been creating a problem,
resulting in the loss of much val
uable tackle.
In one day this week the Idle
On,, Captain Hulan Watts, had
two of its biggest and most cost
ly rods snapped off from a com
bination of inexperienced fisher
men and big sharks. Only the
reel and two feet of rod was
saved in one case and in the
other about four feet of rod and
the reel. The broken ends slid
into the sea, along with it the
line, lure and fish the sharks
were after.
According to Captain Watts and
Captain Howard Victor, when a
sportsman gets a fish, he or she
has to reel it in as fast as possi
ble. Any slowness results in a
shark taking the fish or replacing
it on the hook. Some of the more
experienced sportsmen have
fought big sharks to alongside
the boats, where they were shot
and killed. ? < i ? ? ?
A week-end check of a day's
catch brought in by- the boats
showed the Jim-Jam with 30 big
| king mackerel and a few bonita;
the Botfly, 10 king mackerel, 19

Diverted Acres
Need Planning
EIRoy King, Chairman Of'
PMA Program, Cautions I
Farmers Not To Use Idle1
Land To Create Other Sur
plus Problems s
What farmers do with their
diverted acres?the land taken
out of allotment crops?may well
determine future margins of pro
fit or loss and the prosperity of
agriculture as well says- El-j
Roy King, chairman of the Bruns- i
wick PMA committee.
The chairman points out that!
if these acres are seeded to crops
that are now in plentiful supply, |
it can only result in surpluses
of these crops. To illustrate, he
points out that farmers who cut i
their wheat acreage to keep with-j
in the wheat allotment and then ?
put the land taken out of wheat
into barley, the result will be a j
surplus of barley.
The same holds true of grain i
stood to have made a large catch J

The above, with slight varia- j
tions would about cover the oper-'
atiions off all boats during the
daily operations of the past week.'
sorghums. Any. significant shift of
acreage to grain sorghum pro
duction could easily result in a
flooded market, insufficient stor
age and a real surplus problem.
And to leave the land idle is
no solution, says th> chairman,
for this "creates new problems.
Unprotected land is an erosion
hazard both for wind and water.
Erosion started on idle land may
cut back into the rest of the
farm. Not only is the income
from this land cut off but the
land itself becomes less valuable
each year. Uncontrolled weeds go
to seed and spread to other parts
of the farm.
To disregard acreage allotments
also is no solution to the problem.
The farmer who does this is not
fair to the others who cooperate.
If enough farmers disregard acre
age problems, surpluses continue
to pile up, land is wasted and
price support efforts. must even
tually break down. That is why
eligibility for price supports de
pends on seeding within the allot
ment, the chairman explains.
The only safe out, says the
chairman, is to put diverted acres
to work growing grass and le
gumes for seed and feed. Then
the farmer is protecting his land
and providing for a future in
come. Price supports for needed
legume and grass seed and con
servation payments' for seeding
