(Photo by Spencer) Annual Tobacco Meeting Monday For Brunswick The annual tobacco meeting will be held in the County Exten sion Office in Supply on Monday at 7:30 p.m. The speaker for this meeting will be S. N. Hawks, Extension Tobacco Specialist. •There are several new produc tion practices that will be dis cussed along with the type of to bacco that is in demand and how to produce it. As most growers know the buying pattern of com panies changed during the past marketing season for previous years and some growers may wish to change some production practices to meet changing mar ket demands. There are new recommenda tions for insect control measures such as systemlcs for flea beetle control in the plant bed and in the field. For the first time there will be a recommendation for the control of the Cabbage Looper. This pest has caused consider able damage in past years and has been almost impossible to control. Fertilization methods will be discussed and Hawks will show how some farmers could cut their fertilizer bill in half and still make the same yields or better. “One of the best ways to increase net income from tobacco is to re duce production costs,” Hawks says. “Some of these costs can be reduced and still produce as much or more tobacco.” Come to the meeting on De cember 18 and learn about these practices.

Time And Tide Thirty years ago this week North Carolina’s No. 1 desperado was believed to have passed through Brunswick county while being pursued following his escape from the state penitentiary. He rented a cabin at a tourist camp, where he treated his gunshot wounds himself. He was still at large. Louis J. Hardee, a local resident had returned home after shrimping operations further south and announced plans to station several of his boats in Southport the following spring. The boats also were to be outfitted with equipment for fishing offshore. The local hospital was presented with a portable rotary com pressor by the Hospital Auxiliary. The instrument was to be used in the treatment of sinus conditions. Camp Sopona was to be abandoned immediately. Efforts were made to keep the camp here, but were apparently unsuccessful. The eel canning industry planned for this area was having no success up until that time. The eels would not enter the traps. Twenty-five years ago this week the John M. Morehead and VV.P. Anderson, two local menhaden boats, went into active duty for the U.S. Navy. The two boats of the fleet maintained by the Brunswick Navigation Company were requested by the Navy for patrol duty along the coastline. The crews, however, were not to remain on board. This action ended speculation about possible menhaden catches during the winter. The Navy was still recruiting men and boys even though they were not subject to the draft laws, it was presently not mandatory that the enlistee be 18 years of age. Twenty years ago this week former county commissioner o.P. Bellamy killed the largest hog of the year In Brunswick county. Dressed out, It weighted 755 pounds. The giant measured 6 feet In length and stood 37 inches high. Four Stands of lard were taken from the fat. Mr. Bellamy also butchered another hot weighing only 400 pounds. Fire destroyed the living quarters of the Waccamaw teachers. All of the residents’ personal belongings and furnishing were destroyed. The loss was estimated at $50,000. The fire could possibly have been extinguished, but the Whiteville fire truck on the way to the scene sldeswiped another vehicle, preventing Its chances of arriving on time. Ten years ago this week the county courthouse In Southport ((Jontinued On Pag* #*oufj' Planting Pine Seedlings Bill Callahan, Watershed Forester, Ray Dyson, Orton Association Ranger, and Kenneth Johnson, Brunswick County Forest Ranger, are shown here planting pine seedlings on a plot at Riverhaven Acres near Southport. Results of an earlier planting are shown growing in the background. (Photo by Spencer) Planting Growing The North Carolina Division of Forestry offers many ser vices available to woodland own ers. One such service is ad vice on planting trees. For what Patrolmen To Stop Haulers The N. C. Department of Agri culture has made special ar rangements with the State High way Patrol to prevent illegal movement of hogs exposed to cho'era or infected with the di sease. This is a necessary step taken in North Carolina’s in tensive efforts toward complete ly eradicating this costly disease in the state. Drivers hauling hogs may now be stopped by highway patrol men and asked to provide in formation on ownership, origin, destination and health certifica tion of their animals. It has been pointed out by Dr. T. F. Zweigart, state veteri narian, that some recent out breaks of hog cholera were caused by illegal movement of sick and disease exposed swine. This threat prompted the pre vention effort. Drivers hauling hogs within the state, as well as those bring ing hog^ from out of state, will be subject to spot checks by patrol men. Trees Is Business reason would a landowner be con cerned with planting forest trees? Many landowners own land that is presently unproductive due to the growth of heavy nutgrass or poor quality hardwood brush. Land of this type is not being utilized to its fullest productive capacity. It might be said that this nonproductive, abandoned, or cut-over land Is not earning interest at a rate which can be considered profitable for the landowner. Likewise, the longer this land remain idle, the more money, effort, and time will be required to put the land into production again. However, if forest trees are from the day the seedlings are set until the day of final harvest, the interest on the land in* creases proportionally with the timber yield. In addition to planting for monetary returns, trees also in crease land value, and add to the general appearance of the tract. Many people have found that a once-idle piece of land now stocked with forest trees con tinually grows over the years to, one day, provide a “nest egg" for retirement years, or for use by their children. WHERE TO ORDER How may a landowner go about purchasing forest tree seedlings? Seedlings can be purchased at cost from nurseries located in (Continued on Page */ Messiah To Be Presented On *. December 22 The Trinity Methodist church choir will present the Christ mas portion of "The Messiah,” by George Frederick Handel on December 22 at 7:30 o’clock. This is in response to many requests that it be repeated again this year. Last year it was given on a Sunday night, and many could not attend because of serv ices in their own churches. Mrs. Dallas Pigott is director and Mrs. James M. Harper, Jr., is organist. There may be some added in terest in the fact that this year is the 225th anniversary of the first presentation of "The Messiah” by Handel in Dublin in 1742. Bom in Halle, in Lower Saxony, in 1685, George Frederick Handel was the son of a barber-surgeon, who wanted the boy to become a lawyer. The little boy practiced secretly at home on a clavichord in the attic. On a trip to the court of the Duke of Saxe-weissenfel, Handel was overheard by the duke as the boy performed at the organ fhofO ’PVl A rlulrn n/Nntrln/i/v^i nnnn that George had real talent and should be encouraged In his music. Back In Halle, the lad studied with Zachau, the cathedral organ ist. Thoughts of a career In law succumbed to the offer of the honorable position of Halle cathedral organist in 1702, with Handel extending his musical knowledge in Hamburg. Handel’s first opera, - . mira,” was performed in Ham burg In 1705 and a great career was under way. After some years In Italy, Handel went to London as a composer of Italian opera. He became a fhvorite ofKlng George I and music master to the Prin cess Caroline. In the service of the Duke of Chandos, Handel received 1,000 pounds for his first oratorio, “Esther." At the end of the Summer of 1741, Handel began “Messiah," with Park I completed in six days, Part n in another nine, and Part in finished six days after that. Handel jotted down the fiQal notes of “Messiah" on Sept. 14 and at once turned to writing “Samson." He had composed “Messiah" (Continued On Page Four) Pvt. Thomas R. McGlamery, son of Mr. and Mrs. G.
