the North Carolina District of the
U. S. Army Engineering Corp

ever occupy this post. In addition
to the progressive waterway im
provements that have been carried
out since he came to North Carol!
na as district engineer, a program
he had in mind for the eastern sec
tion of this State ha been halted
temporarily at least. Colonel
Gillette ha thousands of friends
in Eastern North Carolina who
deeply appreciate the many worth
while thing he ha done for the de
velopment of our waterway. He
not only love North Carolina, be
ing a native of Onslow County, but
he 'understands the waterways of
the State, a perhap no other dis

them. Last night in Wilmington
before departing for Belvoir, he
was guest of honor at a gigantic

1,000 PLANES A MONTH
WASHINGTON. The figure which
defense commission experts have
fixed privately for new factories for
that new plane production program
is $2,000,000,000. This is the pro
gram recently announced by Wil
liam S. Knudsen.
Present plane deliveries to the
army, navy and to the British are
around 1,000 fighting ships per
month. The army's production goal
3,000 planes a month by 1942. with
a comparable increase in engine
output obviously means an enor
mous expansion of manufacturing
facilities.
Some of the companies already
are erecting new plants, in addition
to previous enlargements. Curtiss
Wright and Glenn Martin have new
facilities under way; Bell Aircraft is
adding 400,000 square feet of space
near Buffalo; Boeing at Seattle re
ceived $7,368,000 for a new plant,
and Vultee $4,294,000 for the same
purpose.

DRAFT QUOTA
IN CARTERET
COUNTY GIVEN
Ninety-nine Men To
Be Called During
Fiscal Year
Ninety-nine draftees are
achaduled to be called from
Carteret County to one year
of service between now and
June 30, 1941, according tc
announcement made last
week by Governor Hoey. In
addition to making public
the quotas.for each of North
Carolina's hundred counties.
It was not stated whether the
Carteret quota would de
crease with enlistments in
the armed forces of the na
tion by residents of Carteret,
but it is assumed that this
will be the case.
Quotas for, other nearby coun
ties follow: Hyde, 35; Dare 26;
Pamlico, 43; Craven, 82; Onslow
95; Beaufort, (county) 117, and
Brunswick, 84. Governor Hoey
also stated that 15,613 Tar Heels
would be called to the colors dur
ing the period ending June 30,
1941.
North Carolina was ordered to
supply 49,434 men unler the selec
tive service act, the governor said,
but this figure was whittled down
to 15,613 because the state receiv
ed credit for men who had enlisted
since January 1 and for national
guardsmen, who were called to ac
tive duty.
Hoye's figures showed that 29,
032 men had enlisted and 4,789 had
been called out by the guard.
The guardsmen and enlisted
men were credited, whenever pos
sible, to counties or draft board
areas in which they resided. As a
result, three counties New Han
over, Haywood and Hoke will not
be called on to furnish any men in
the draft's first call.

Although there were several
cases on the docket for trial in Re

NOTES OF A NEW YORKER
They say it happened in Federal
court the other day. A prisoner
from the Federal penitentiary at
Lewisburg, Pa., was testifying for
the gov't in an important case. The
lawyer for the defense was cross
examining and said, "You're say
ing things about the defendant be
cause the government has promised
to free you. Isn't that so?" . . .
The prisoner replied, "No. I'd just
as soon stay right there in pen"
. . . "You expect me and the jury
to believe that?" sneered the at
torney . . . "Sure," was the an
swer. "Where else could a mugg
like me get a chance to socialize
with bankers and corporation law
yers?" Sibelius, who notoriously dislikes
critics (his famous crack is: "They
never built a statue to a critic)

Cyanamid Method
Of Weed Control Is
Tried In Carteret
Cyanamid method of weed con-
:rol in tobacco plant beds is bein?
tried by John B. Kelly of Newport
township as a demonstration in co
operation with the Extension Serv-
:e. On October 28th, Mr. hei
y with the assistance of County
Agent J. Y. Lassiter prepared one
mndred and fifty yards of ground
:he same as it would be prepared
"or seeding the bed in February
and applied a pound of Granular
'Aero" Cyanamid per square yard
over two thirds of the area, leaving
one third as a check bed. This
material contains 21 per cent Ni
trogen and 70 per cent lime, and
must be applied approximately
ninety days before sowing the to
bacco seed.
The Cyanamid has th" following
advantages in that it control
weeds so well that little or no
handweeding is necessary. Throu
gh the elimination of handweeding
it helps to control the spread of
disease in plant beds. The cost
is half as much as burning and only
a fraction as much as hand weed
ing and requires no additional ma
chinery or special equipment.
The Beaufort News has been ad
vised that interested tobacco farm
ers may find this demonstration
bed on Mr. Kelly's farm on tho
Deep Creek road approximately
one and one half miles from Newport.
