The Fanning Guide
(By A. S. KNOWLES, County Agent)
A. J. Walton, Jr., and wite of
near Hickman Crossroads are
making plans to beautify their
home grounds. They have recently
completed a beautiful brick home
and are interested in landscaping
the grounds In keeping with the
home, 'they are interested in the
location oi the drives and walks,
the paikmg area, and the location
■ of me smuobeiy. The Waitons
are interested in the same fea
tures that all home-iovers should
show, mey want comfort, con
vinces anu beauty. They are de
veloping a master plan for im
provement to the lawn and
. g. minus with the assistance of
, the extension service. The plan
gives them a bird-eye view of
what the landscape will be when
' completed. It will be used as a
guide for the next two or three
years in lawn and ground im
provement.
Tobacco farmers seem assured
of ample plants to transplant their
■acreage. Almost every grower has
abundant supply of nice, heal
thy plants. In order for the plants
to remain healthy until set in the
field, growers must control in
sects and diseases. Most insects
can be controlled with 5 or 10
■"■per cent; D. D. T. dust .An ap
. plication three or four days before
setting will prevent lots of insects
| going into the field from the
! plant bed. Blue mold disease can
! still be damaging, not only in the
■ plant bed but in the field as hap
pended last year. The best way
| to prevent this trouble is to con
, tinue treatments with Diathane
i 2-78 or Fermate until field setting
is completed. D. D. T. for insect
t control may be applied with above
materials. Field insects can be
1 controlled by the use of T DE.
Garden and vegetable insects
tire beginning to appear on the
s scene. Most of them can be con
i trolled with 1 percent Rotenene,
, 5 percent Malathion or 5 percent

Farmers will be planting soy
beans during *the next several
weeks. They will want to decide
which soybean variety to plant
for oil purpose and which to
plant for grazing purpose. For oil
use Lee, Ogden, Roanoke or Jack
son. The same varieties may be
used for late hogging off or Biloxi
for grazing early. For average
soil conditions fertilize with 300
to 400 pounds of 0-10-20 or 0-9-27.
On light sandy soils use 400 of
2-12-12. See that seed are not
planted directly in the fertilizer
as injury may result. It is import
ant to treat the seed with 2
ouncs of Arasan per bushel to in
sure better stands. Early, shallow
cultivations are necessary to con
weeds.
Juch Activity
Over Week-End
-.on*; Beach Took On Ap
pearance Of Summer Sea
son As Hundreds Of Per
sons Were Over There
During Easter
With a great number of up
state property owners at Long
Beach over the week end to look
over homes that are being con
structed for them or to plan their
rebuilding, the beach looked al
most like summer time, but not
very much like Sunday in sum
mer.
The difference between it and a
summer Sunday was that car
penters were keeping steadily
ahead with their building. They
appear to be running a race with
time to get a large number of
homes built or rebuilt by June.
It is said that there are more
than 30 buildings under contract
and on which no work has yet
been done because the contractors
have not been able to get around
to them. Three weeks ago Dear
mond Swain, Southport contrac
tor, said he had four houses under
contract. Saturday he said he now
has nine. Around a dozen con
tractors are building homes, some
of them on several buildings at
one time.
Checking the front row Satur
day, an area that has been credit
ed with being slow in rebuilding,
revealed that there are 38 homes
alieady rebuilt or in process of
rebuilding. On the second street
the number even greater.

Thursday Afternoon
i
I The Wilmington JV's romped to
: a 14-2 victory over Southport
j here Thursday afternoon in a con
1 test that was almost washed out
by a sudden April shower at the
end of the first inning.
■ The visitors were ahead by a
score of 1 to 0 at that time, and
that is as close as the game ever
got again. They scored 4 in the
third, 4 more in the fourth, 2
in the fifth and three more in the
seventh inning. The Southport
scoring came 1 run at the time
in each of the third and seventh
innings.
Wayne Ludlum started on the
mound for the locals, being re
placed by Gerig Spencer during
the 4th inning uprising. Charlie
Splawn came in to pitch the last
two frames, and got by the sixth
without permitting a score.
Plookie Webb was the catcher.
Jack Holly was the Wilming
ton pitcher, and he worked a nice
game. He permitted only 6 hits
and racked up 13 strikeouts. His
catcher was Ron Conner.
The fielding gem of the day
was turned in by Basil Hendley
of the JV’s, whose leaping one
handed stab in the second inning
robbed Splawn of a home run.

become a tyrant. Her special tar
get is Deedee, an orphan who has
'Ome to work on the Lindsay
farm.
When Mr. and Mrs. Gordon,
tourists front.the North, have an
accident rear the Lindsay farm,
they become interested in Deedee's
dreams.
The hfr.'d girl from a nearby
farm, Sophie, and Oby, the Lin
dsay’s hired man, add laughs to
the situation.
The outcome of the play is a
pleasant suprise for all involved
and members of the audience will
never forget sharing the sorrows,
loves and concern of the char
acters.
