SPORTS
By J. V. STEWART
The basketball season is rapidly
drawing to a close. Saturday nite
Feb. 27th will be the stand finale
when a floating cup and a permanent
cup will be presented after the final
whistle to the winnings girl's team
and the same to the winnings boy's
team.
Attention will now be concentra
ted on the two remaining sport events
of the season, the annual field day
meet and the baseball series. How
ever, the time has come when ath
letic activities are being broadened
and all pupils are having an active
part in some form of athletics. The
building of the new gyms at the var
ious schools are asset's in the carrying
out of this new program. The fol
lowing can easily be had at the var
ious schools: indoor tennis, indoor
baseball, volley ball, wrestling, box
ing, ana the usual gym exercises.
Besides these there is the game of
soft ball to be played outdoors when
the weather permits. This game is
primarily for exercise for both sexes
young and old, but affords a very
fascinating form of entertainment
and competition. i

team play and are now playing a
game far below the standard wV,;h
they presented at the opening of the

The Beaufort girls won over their
New Bern rivals by the score of 30
to 25. Safrit outshown herself in
this game getting 21 of her teams
points. O'Brien was second with 8
points. Gillikens was best for New
Bern with 14 points.
The Beaufort boys lost to the New
Bern Quintet by a score of 27 to 20.
Russell was high scorer with 9 points.
Mitchell was best for New Bern
with 12 points.
On Friday nite of ksc week Beau
fort played host to Morehead in their
return game. Predictions were
that the Beaufort girls would win
and that the Morehead boys. How
ever, no-one thought that there would
be the disparity between the More
head boys and the Beaufort boys
JW gam? disclosed. One thing
tvas quite evident from the results
and that was that Morehead possess
es one of the best passing teams and
one of the best working teams in the
county. Only one of the worst up
sets imaginable can prevent them
from again being county champions.
The Beaufort girls won over the
Morehead sextet by a score of 24 to
13. Safrit was the outstanding of
fensive player making eleven out of
15 foul hot attempts. She also ac
counted for a total of 1? of Beau
fort's points. O'Brien, likewise, did
some very fine offensive playing.
On defense Pake was the outsand-
ing, although Mason was very good, j
but as yet has not been able to de
velop the control of her play as has
Take. Dowdy was best for More
head. It seems queer that More
Jhead's coach did not play Arendel
tut a short time, when she has in th
past done such fine guarding and
f lpof work .
1 The Beaufort boys were clearly
outclassed by their Morehead rivals
Griffin, Paul and Van Home and
Williams all clicked for Morehead
and placed their team out of danger
of defeat a few minutes after the
opening whistle had been blown.
Coach Eden sent in his full team of
"second stringers during the second
half. During their time in the game
they keep Beaufort from scoring and
at the same time added two more
points to their own score. The final
score was Morehead 30, Beaufort9.
MOREHEAD
Morehead played host on Tuesday
evening of last week to Atlantic'?
boys and girls teams. This was thP
first appearance of the Atlantic girls
for the current season, and thpv dis
played a fine game in their initial
start, although they were defeated.
The Morehead girls won over their
Atlantic rivals by a score of 30 to
17. The outstanding feature nf the
game was the fou shoot nt nf Knha
son oi Atlantic who rune tbe wv-st
for 8 out of 10 attempts. Wilson
was high scorer for Morehead with
11 points and Arendell second with

The Atlantic boys hardlv Tll'OviHpri
a workout for the MorebeaH W;s in
their game. All of Morehe..d's play
ers took part in the game. The final
score was Morehead 58, Atlantic 12.
Griffin was high scorer with 22
points with Paul second having made
14 points.
On Tuesday nite oi tliia week
Beaufort played In1 io Smyrna in
both teams last ga:i; of the county
series. Predictions wpvp befnm tln'f
game that both games would be close,
due to Smyrna's inactivity and Beau
fort's' improvement especially the
girls,
Beaufort girls played Smyrna's
girl team the best opposition that
they have encountered for the seas
on. The game was nick and tuck
thruout the first half, Beaufort scor
ing and then Smyrna, with the result
that the score at the half was Smyr
na 15, Beaufort 14. During the sec
ond half the Beaufort team weaken
ed on defense and the Smyrna team
got their plays to working better
with the result that the final score
Vvas Smyrna 32, Beaufort 24. V. Da
vis and Ruby Willis of Smyrna tied
for scoring honors with 11 each,
while Rosa Willis garnered 9 points.
Safrit made 20 of Beaufort's 24
points. There were no outstanding
players on either team as all were
playing top notch in their respective
position, I
The boys game also proved a thrill
er. The final score was Beaufort 14,
Smyrna 12. The Smyrna team show
ed improvement over that of their
previous games. Beaufort was with
out the services of Conway who had
not satisfied some on of the articles
of the rules regarding playing in the
series. Chadwick and Russell each
made 6 points for Beaufort while
R. J. Chadwick of Smyrna was high
scorer for his team with 6 points.
Hundreds of fields in the Piedmont
and mountain regions of North Car
olina are planted to strips of close
growing crops, such as small grain,
alternating with idle strips which are
to be planted in row crops this spring
reports the Mate College Extension
Service.
Strip-cropping r-?duuces run-ofl
and erosion, increases rain pene
tration, simplifies the rotation system
and in many cases eliminates the
need for terracing gently sloping
lands.
As the rain water runs off the row
cropped strip into the strip of close
growincr ciop, it is filtered and de
posits its soil in the thick vegetation,
thus gullies are not allowed to form,
A. A. Cone project manager of the
Soil Conservation Service in Meck
lenburg county said.
Water held in the dense cover
crop strip penetrates into the soil,
Cone pointed out.
Point rows can be eliminated by
growing the row crops on strips of
even width while the thick-growing
crops occupy the uneven strips. To
be most effective strips should be
laid out on the contour, Cone said.

ment; the remaining 70 per cent to

Payments for soil-building prac
tices will be divided among the pro
ducers according to the amount of
work and expense incurred by each in
carrying out these practices.
The soil-building payments will be
divided on the same basis used last
year, Criswell slated, but a change
has been made in the method of
dividing the diversion payments.
Last year diversion payments were
divided thus: 16 2-3 ner cent to the
producer furnishing the land, 10 2-3
per cent to the producer furnishing
workstock and equipment, and 60
2-3 per cent to be divided in the pro
portion that the producers shared in
the soil-depleting crops.
It is believed that the method of
dividing the payments this year will
be more equiptable and less compli
cated to work out, said Criswell.

Gets Scholarship For
Record Yield Of Corn
..Raleigh Feb. 24 Arecord corn
crop that yielded 136.8 bushels from
an acre of land last year has won for
Howard Martin, 16, Clay County 4-
H club boy, a four-year scholarship
to State College.
This was approximately 7 1-2 times
as great a yield as the State average
of 18.5 bushels per acre, said L. R.
Harrill, 4-H club leader at State Col
lege. Martin won the State 4-H Corn
growing contest for 1936. The
scholarship was awarded by the Bar
rett Company to the North Carolina
4-H corn club member making the
best record over a period of one or
more years, Harrill added.
The cost of producing the re
cord crop was only 59,8 cents a bu
shel. His profit was $100.68.
In November, 1935, Martin took a
tractor and plowed to a depth of 12
inches an acre of lan I where rye had
been grown. Then on April 23, 1936
he harrowed the field, and the next
