HAYNES TALKS
TO ROTARIANS
Tells About The
Culture Of
Gladioli
Gladiolus from the bulb
stage to the spike and blos
som stage was the subject
of a very interesting talk
given Beaufort Rotarians by
S. E. Hayne at their meeting
Tuesday night. He also told
how he and Mrs. Hayne, nat
ives of Wilson, N. Y. had
come south eight years ago
to finally settle in Carteret
east of Beaufort where glad
iolus raising on a big scale is
underway-
The subject of his talk was
timely because this week gladioli
growers of Carteret are beginning
to ship spikes. Before the cur
rent season has passed, it is likely
that approximately $50,000 worth
of the flowers will be shipped from
this county to markets through
out Eastern America. The Hayne
farm has under cultivation about
.seven or eight acres this year.
"It takes from 52,000 to 60,
000 bulbs to plant an acre," he
told the Rotarians and a compari
sion of the value of a bushel of
potatoes and a bushel of bulbs was
given. The difference in value of
the commercial type bulb and
potatoes is from $50 to $75 per
bushel.
During his talk he displayed a
spike glad cut from his field on
his way to town. Frequently he
used this spike to explain certain
matters about) shipping, diseases
and other interesting data. The
Haynes came to Beaufort because
of the splendid Gulf Stream Cli
mate and fine farming soil.

Covering The

By AYCOCK BROWN
MR. AND MRS. Serpell were
having tea with Ambassador Jo
sephus Daniels and Mrs. Daniels
at the American Embassy in Mex
ico City a few days ago. On the
library table Mrs. Serpell notic
ed a copy of the April seventh ed
ition of The Beaufort News. She
J was surprised and probably she
thought that this was a small
world after all. The Ambassador
told Mrs. Serpell that he had been
Receiving The Beaufort News
each week since he went to Mexi
co to take care of our govern
ment's interests there. Mrs. Ser
pell asked for the copy to bring
back to Beaufort as a souvenir
! for the editor. So last week-end
When they returned to Peaufort
a copy of this newspaper came

It Will Determine
Marketing Plans
For This Year
Potato growers of Car
teret county and Eastern
Carolina will march to the
polls on May 13 and 14 to
determine whether they
want want the marketing of
their product controlled this
year. The voting will be at
the county agent's office on
Friday and Saturday from
9 A. M. to 5 P. M.. County
Agent Anthony has urged
all iarmers to vote.
Should two-thirds or more of
those voting in the referendum
favor restrictions, a control pro
gram will go into effect. The
proposed marketing agreement
would prohibit in interstate ship
ment potatoes falling below the U.
S. No 2 grade and those of less
than one and one-half inches in
diameter.
Polls will open at 9 A. M. on
each of the two voting days and
will close at 5 P. M.. Public not
ice of the place of balloting will
be maie at least three days in ad
vance of May 14.
L. P. Watson, extension horti
culturist at State College, ex
plained that each producer of po
tatoes for market is entitled to one
vote.
Educations meetings to ac
quaint growers with provisions of
the marketing agreement have
been held in most of the affected
counties.
Makes Front Page
In Rail Matter
Mayor G. W. Huntley
Mayor George W. Huntley of
Beaufort made front page in the
News and Observer recently when
a letter he had written Governr
Hoey relative to railroad rates
was given publicity. In his letter
he outlined a discrimination in
rates which permits shipment of
farm commodities at a much high
er rate via the A and N. C. from
Beaufort and New Bern than
similar commodities from Pamli
co County. In the above picture
Mayor Huntley is shown examin
ing tomatoes packed in the plant
operated by Carteret Growers,
Inc.
Cabbage
Thera teams to ba no end to
Cartaret't greatest cabbage har
vest. During the past 10 days an
average of 10 or more solid ice
car loads have rolled out of Beau
fort and before the week has end
ed approximately 112 car loads
will have moved. Each of these
car-loads were purchased by the
Federal Surplus Commodities
Corporation which stepped in to
aid the farmers as a result of ef
forts on the part of Representa
tive Graham A. Barden. Peak
prices paid for cabbage by the
FSCC haa been $9 and $14 per
ton. Today they were bringing $8
per ton in hulk. While growers
have not gotten rich off their cab
bage crop this year, they have
not faced total loss, as would
probably have been the case, had
Congressman Barden and the
FSCC stepped ia. Quite a tonnage
of cabaage have move J 'jy true!
to markets, alio.

how many were caught by week

Blues and Macks off the coast of

TO GET THE most out of your

Mackeral you should use the light
est tackle you own. That gives
you a chance to get the reel thrill
of the sport and also gives your
fish a fighting chance to beat you
at your own game. To make the
sport more interesting you should
carry along a variety of lures,
squids, bones and plugs. It gives
