Pearl Of Great Price Alice Brown Makes Unusual Discovery While Opening Clams At Mack’s Cafe In Is a black pearl a pearl of great price? That’s the question that is causing Alice Brown, cook and kitchen maid at Mack’s Cafe in Southport some anxious moments since she discovered one of these rare gems the other day while opening clams for preparation of a specialty of the Southport waterfront restaurant—clam chow der. At first Alice thought she had found a black marble. “That’s what I said, ” she said, “I said 'I’ve found a black marble. Then somebody told me they bet it was a pearl, so I showed it to Mack. I got to thinking about it, so I took it to Wilmington for a jewe ler to tell me was it worth any thing.” One Wilmington jeweler took one look and said it looked like a valuable pearl, but confessed that he was not qualified to appraise its worth.

S. KNOWLES Extension Chairman You don’t have to be involved in the production of one of North Carolina’s major farm commodities to have benefited from the farm er’s self-help Nickels for Know How program. These observations were made when reviewing some of the many lesser known contribu tions to Tar Heel agriculture that have been made through the feed and fertilizer assessment nickels program. The nickel funds haven’t been used to support work on problems in every area of our agriculture, but they have helped accomplish many things in many different fields, whether related to a big money crop such as tobacco or poultry or to smaller contributors to the overall economy such as grapes, nursery plants and blue berries. Most farmers are aware of the progress that has been made against tobacco insects and dis eases. But not very many are aware of the progress made pos sible through Nickels for Know How in the areas of blueberry dis eases, controlled mineral nutrition in carrots, sweet potato diseases, or growth regulators in azaleas. It would be difficult to find a feed or fertilizer user in North Carolina who hasn't benefited in some way from the contributions he Continued On Page A Mrs. Roscoe D.

Harper, Jr., of Southport is chairman of the com mittee and Mrs. Ernest Parker is also a member.

This is an undertaking that is comparable to the Garden Club sponsorship of the Elizabethean Garden at Manteo. One important difference is that major emphasis will be upon native plants and shrubs which are native to this section. The project has been adopted by the state organization and thro ughout the next year there will be decorations and exhibits featuring this early settlement on the banks of the Cape Pear River above Southport. One place where considerable publicity will be given this pro ject will be at the Annual State Garden Club Exhibit at Charlotte, where a distinctive and educat ional display is being planned. Following a luncheon at the home of Mrs. Harper, Mrs. McMil lan, Mrs. South and others inter ested in the Nature Trail visited the site of the project at Bruns wick Town. Feed Grain Plan About The Same Details Of Program Will Be Announced Later By ASC Office Prior To Sign-Up For 1964 Program The 1964 feed grain program is very similar to the 1963 program, according to Manager Ralph L. Price of the Agricultural Stabil ization and Conservation Service in Shallotte. The program will be voluntary, all feed grain bases are combined, diversion payments are available, and price support will be made available to participating farms. Manager Price said there are a few basic changes that affect farmers. Farmers may divert the larger of 25 acres or 50% of the feed grain base. This compares with a maximum diversion of the larger of 25 acres or 40% of the mers diverting about 40 percent of will be higher this year for far base mers diverting above 40% of their toal base.

"The people of North Carolina need, want and will have a two party system in 1964," Osteen, who is from Greensboro, declared.
