For from his home at Camp Glenn right on through his hundred and twenty-five acre farm, which stretches from the highway to Newport River, one sees that fore sight a3 well as labour enters very thoroughly into the cultivation of Ha tract. Mr. Ofdesby is a firm be liever in diversification of crops and the production of livestock; cabbage and swine are his specialties. At the present time Mr. Oglesby has 256 pure-bred Hampshire pigs and hogs, which is far more than any one farmer in Carteret has. He has 117 small pigs, 80 hogs which he is fattening for early shipment, one reg istered boar, and twenty-three full blooded brood sows, nine of which will farrow within the next few weeks. Thirty-five more of these hogs will put on fattening rations early in September. Several pastures are maintained for the various droves of swine. Much of the soy bean and corn acreage is not harvested by man ual labor, but is more scientifically "hogged down." Mr. Oglesby fattens his hogs by placing them in an incis ure in which is situated self-feeders, some containing fish meal and others corn. Mr. Oglesby also raises some beef cattle. He now has 16 native beef cows and seven calves. In an endeav or to raise the standard of his herd, he has purchased a registered general purpose bull a Red Poll. In this, as well as many other agricultural line?, Mr. Oglesby is very progres .sivevand eadil9(tair ea Mke:rJJi any scientifically-accurate informa tion that may aid him in becoming a more successful farmer and stock raiser. Mr. Oglesby either cultivates or oversees the cultivation of his entire hundred and twenty-five acres. The - il-- rti'rr; n AW 1111- acreage 01 tne uuuus 'kov der cultivation or in the process of j ' harvesting are: peanuts, i; watei melons, 17; corn, 40; sweet pota toes, 10; and the rest is planted in soybeans. On this same land he rais ed earlier in the year 20 acres of Irish potatoes, 10 acres of broccoli, and 25 acres of cabbage. At the pres ent time, like practically every oth er farm in Carteret County and east em Carolina, his acreage is in seri ous need of additional moisture. As far as the News knows, Mr. and Mrs. Oglesby are the only farm peo ple in Carteret who have brick home, which contains six spacious Tooms. This is situated just south of the highway several hundred yards west of the Morehead City limits. Across the road from their home is located three large, up-to-date, well- . . . a. M h..n mm s.'iru.
