Soil Conservation District Notes H. F. KIZER Soil Conservation Service Soil Conservation Service “My farm drainage canal that I cut during the spring really paid off during the heavy rains around the first of the month,” sai<^l J. Roland Simmons, a prom inent farmer of the Ash com muhity. He and I visited the farm sooh after the heavy rains ceased and looked over the canal and the' field in which it was located. Wq. were greeted by a fine field of corn and soybeans. “Look at the crop on the lower side of the field”, he said. “This is "the first year since I have owjied the place that I have made anything down there on account of' it drowning”. While in this community, I visited George Cox, conservation farmer, and checked on his tile system. This tile was installed in the spring of 1949 and is now in its second season. “I really be lieve it worked better the second ye$r than it did the first”, Cox said, adding, "naa i not had it in^ I am sure that I would have had some drowned tobacco”. The tobacco growing in this field certainly looked good and a good crop of high quality tobacco is now being harvested by Mr. Cox. This tile system and Mr. Sim mon’s canal was planned and de signed by Soil Conservation Ser vice technicians assigned to the Lower Cape Fear Soil Conserva tion District, and was part of a complete soil and water conserva tion program being carried out by these two farmers.

Shallotte Man Rolled For Money Six-Day Investigation Is End ed With Charge Of Rob bery Against Three; One Held As Material Witness A six-day investigation of the alleged robbery of an 85-year-old Brunswick County Negro was completed today with the arrest of four Whiteville Negroes. Charged with ‘'rolling’’ Willie Hill of Shallotte for $160 are Taft Goss, 44, Asbury Flemings, 26, Nevada Jackson, 25, and Geneva Powell, 33. City Policeman J. R. Faircloth, who tracked down the alleged theft, said the Powell woman may not have been a participant in the robbery but that she had been in the party during the course of the day last Tuesday when Hill was “taken" for his tobacco money. She was placed under bond as a material witness. The Faircloth sleuthing story started Tuesday when the police man noticed that Hill was either sick or drinking. He placed the aged Shallotte man in jail for his own . protection and released him Wednesday. The officer began to hear rumors that a Negro woman was attempting- to cash a battered $100 bill. Unsuccessful in two tries, she was reported to have given the bill to one of her con federates who got it changed. The woman was identified as Nevada Jackson who claimed that she was given the $100 bill by mistake for “shacking up” with a man. She inferred that the man thought he was giving her a $10 bill. Policeman Faircloth went to Shallotte and obtained an admis sion from Hill that he had been rolled and the arrest of the quar tet followed. The officer said Goss, Flemings and the Jackson woman admitted taking the money from Hill. RETURN FROM TOUR Misa Avis Evans and Florrine Evans of Ash recently visited Mrs. Myrle H. Evans and Miss Lillian Watts at Atlantic Chris tian College, Wilson, where Miss Watts joined them for a trip throughout western North Car olina and eastern Tennessee.
