CABBAGE
Continued from page one)
soon for package- cabbage, howev
er the bulk of the Carteret crop
will be sold in bulk as in the past.
A story from the State Extension
Service in Raleigh relative to cab
bage follows:
Raleigh, May6. Initial ship
merits of North Carolina's It'll
cabbage crop are expected May
10 and "if farmers are to receive
the maximum returns for their ef
forts, strict attention must be giv
en to approved grading and mar
keting methods." Harry T. West-,
cott, fruits and vegetables mar
keting specialist of the State De
partment of Agriculture, said to
day. "For the past three seasons it
has been necessary for the govern
ment to purchase a large portion
of the early" cabbage crop, but if
present prices prevail and growers
will properly pack and grade their
crop, a federal buying program
may not be needed this season," he
added. "However, generally North
Carolina farmers have not follow
ed marketing practices in the
past."
In meeting market demands,
Westcott said that farmers must:
(1) Trim cabbage so as not to
have more than four wrapper
leaves which do not enfold the head
fairly tight; (2) See that heads are
not bursted, don't show seed stems
and are free from decay, damage
caused by discoloration, disease or
insects; (3) Grade so as to show
the minimum or minimum and
mux-mum size of a lot, or identi
fy the lot as small, medium or
large; (4) Use the 1.5 bushel
hamper or "pony crate", prefer
ably the crate since they usually
command slightly higher prices.
'"Pointed type cabbage is con
sidered small if the heads weigh
less than 1.5 pounds, medium if
they weigh 1.5 to three pounds and
large if over three pounds," West
cott explained. "When packed in
containers growers should attempt
to segregate the sizes, Containers
for cabbage have not been stan
dardized and as a result manytypes
have been used, including the 1.5
bushel hamper, half-barrel crates,
50-pound wire bound crate and
sacks that hold from 50 to 100
pounds.
In the early cabbage producing
area of Eastern North Carolina ap
proximately 2,100 acres are plant
ed or approximately 100 acres less
than the record crops of 2,200
acres in 1938 and 1940.

LINE STAKING
(Continued from page 1)
tor has already put in an order for
part of the materials necessary for
construction and these should be
on hand by the time right-of-way
cutting is under way.
The contractor has indicated
that much local unskilled labor
will be employed in various phases
of construction. With all staking
done and much of the materials of
construction on hand it is probable
that the lines can be built and en
ergized readily within the 90 days
scheduled.

FISHING

lows he had ever encountered. As
a matter fo fact the big tish was
hooked by Cecil who played it
for 25 minutes and subsequently
played himself out. Stedman took
over and after 20 more minutes
brought his tish to gaffing distance.
Mr. anil Mrs. Cecil and Fred Sted
man were opening the Ocracoko
Inlet surf casting season with
Summers Spencer as guide and Ev
ans Styron as helper.
THE OCRACOKE Channel Bass
market slumped !a.-t week when
acres of 'old drum' schooling in
Pamlico Sound were hauled in by
commercial fishermen. An idea of
tile catch follows: Ben Fulcher
7.201) pounds from sevt n to 15
pound.- each; Herb O'Neal 1.200
pounds 25 pounds up; Jodie Sty
ron, Portsmouth, 5.000 pounds
from oO pounds up. That totaied
13.400 pounds of old drum from
three boats and on the same
day tile total catch ran up to
20.000 according to information
i eceived from Stedman. The old
timeis down on the island claim it
is the biggest mass of channel bass
in years. There were so many the
market was glutted finally the
price went to only 10 and l-i cents
each for the old dram and then
there was no market at all
Sometimes to me it seems too bad
that such large and noble game
tish must be caught in nets and
wasted when they would provide
so much sport for anglers but the
other side of the picture is that
they also furnish money for the
commercial fisherman's bread and
meat ....
DOWN AT DRUM Inlet accord
last week but failed to get until
ing to a story I should have had
I saw a picture in Foto Shop here,
Roland Hodges of Mt. Olive landed
a tuna weighing 126 1-2 pounds. It
was one of the largest I have ever
heard of being caught in the North
Carolina coast. John Mason was
fishing with him at the time. They
were casting in the surf for chan
nel bass. They had landed two
channel bass when the big fish was
hookel. Guiding the party making
this exceptional tuna catch was
Herb Morris.
Pea Shipments
Slated May 12
Raleigh, May 7. Volume ship
ments cf North Carolina green
peas to northern and eastern ma -Kets
are scheduled about May 12,
but unless farmers offer a better
graded and more attractively
packed product they cannot expect
to successfully compete with pro.
ducers of other areas, Harry T.
We.scott, marketing specialist of
the State Department of Agricul
ture, reported today.
"Or. the eastern seaboard, North
Carolina farmers are among the
most important shippers of green
peas, but they will be at a great
disadvantage when shipping in
competition with other areas if
they do not follow approved mar
keting practices," he asserted.
"Growers must adhere to United
States (federal) grades which are
the basis upon which peas are gen
erally bought and sold."
Wescott said that peas are clas
sified as "U. S. Fancy, U. S. No.
and Unclassified," adding thai,
"most progressive shippers are
complying with the No. 1 require
ments." He explained that under
the No. 1 grade, "pods of peas
must be of the same color and
general type, must be fairly well
shaped and each pod must contain
at least three properly developed
peas,"' adding that "pods must also
be free from damage from disease,
insects or machine injuries."
"The condition of truck ship
ments f peas upon arrival could be
greatiy improved if loads were top
iced, particularly if moved in non
refrigerated units," Westcott said.
"Shipments of green peas are S3
widely distributed that peas are
now available over much of the
country almost throughout the en
tire year. With the improved
methods of quick freezing and oth
er types of preserving, growers
must carefully grode and pack the
fresh product from any one pro
ducing area."

SENIOR PROM
(Continued Irom page 1)
above the, they sang "My Country
'Tis of Thee", the firsa verse lusti-
y and proudly, the last verse with
bowed heads and prayerfully. Fa
vors, consisting of a variety of
noise makers, were distributed
with mechanized precision by Mr
Joslyn and members of Mrs. Bar
ker's Commercial class. Billy
Knauff and his Deans of Music
struck up a dance number, the pa-
broke formation,
maliv more made w!
many
and the prom was on.
The cnybody-break idea prevail
ed throughout the evening with tile
result that there were few if any
wall flowers and that anyone pres
ent who coud trip-the-light-fastus-tic-toe,
hail "their chance" during
the evening.
The approximately 500 balloons
which came down at intervals,
proved again a popular feature,
most of the prizes being of incon
sequential value, three of the priz
es, however, consisting of a 1
week's pass to the lucky finder for
the week of May 18-24 at the
Beaufort Theatre, Sea Breeze
Theatre, and Wade's Theatre.
Supt. Alen acknnweledged with
appreciation the services of Ramie
l'ais and Th umu McQuai !. of the
Beaufort School faculty, and a
number of their students in t:ie
preparation of the balloons, and the
services of R. L. I'ruitt and Jack
Richards in the releasing thoreot
and awarding of prizes.
Supt. Allen called to the stage,
introduced, and c mmctnled the
presidents of the senior classes oi
the participating high school- as
follows: Atlantic, Joe Ma.-on-Beaufort.
Harry Paul; Harkers Is

Although the students persist
ently chanted "We want- Willis.
We want Willis," Newman Willis
newly ' re-appointed mayor of At
lantic Beach and newly appointed
beach manager, refused to come
to the orchestra stand 'and take a
bow. Aubrey E. Shackell, editor
of "The Southerner", Tarboro,
publication, and manager of the
Atlantic Beach in 1936, was called
to the mike, introduced by Supt.
Allen as "the daddy" of the Junior-Senior
Prom idea, and spoke in
terestingly to the assembly.

WATERFRONT
(Continued from page I)
ville the convoy turned' to right on
the Paradise Point road and I fol
lowed skeptical about shooting
pictures of U. S. Marines because
my Press Card was good only for
Army.
IT WAS A sight worth seeing at
Paradise Point seeing these tired
and dusty Marines, on the march
since 4:30 Tuesday morning the
time they left Parris Island, climb
out of those truck and fall into
formation. There was a roll call.
I contacted a young lieutenant to
determine what the restrictions
were about making pictures. He
referred, me to Major Arthur Chall
acombe in charge of the detail.
He gave me permission to make
pictures on condition I show prints
and gt-t approval f ,f release be
fore sending to the newspapers.
THE PICTURES were not the
lest I have taken but the story was
pretty well covered because one
shot showed the Marines in a
group as roll was being called, the
ether showed Major Challacombe.
Shots I made of the Signal group
Mid the croup of Engineers did not
tuin out. I will probably be cov
e: in:r those shots Friday morninj
when most of you folks around
Beaufort are still in bed and
asleep. I find that some of the
Vest pictures possibilities are of
fered between five and six-thirty
o'clock especially at Army and
Marine bases.
RETURNING ALONG the dusty
road from Paradise Point to Piney
Green (on U. S. 24) I almost ran
over a snake that was crawling
from one side to the other. Since
I missed the snake, I stopped and
backed up over it again with the
general idea of annihilating it on
the next try. By this time it had
wiggled to one side but did not
move off into the ditch, Driving
close I determined that it was no
rattler. Instead it was probably
a moccasin, although I am not the
herpetologist I used to be, so its
real identity 1 did not determine.
I drove within four feet of the six
foot reptile and started shooting
pictures of it. Since the snake
modeled so nicely for me, I did not
even bother to try and crush it
with my auto wheel again. In
stead I carefully dodged it and con
tinued on my way to Beaufort.
