PAGE TWO FUNDS NEEDED TO Bl ILD LAKE Contributions In Hand Are Not Sufficient To Construct Dam For f.ake Near Danburv. I'.y R. T. s?TKI»!AN. Work nf clearing awiiy the underbrush from the ito «.>r the fifty-acre lake in Stok s county, promoted by local men with the co-operation of Stoke* county sportsmen, is now go ing on. The work was starte ! at the bey-inning of the we.'k r.iil will be pusheii as rapidly j'.s possible to its conclusion. When this is done everything will be in readiness for a start on the dam. which will give t > *he >portm n of Winston- Salem one of the finest i ~hin;-' lakes in the country, right c! >se to them. Work on the da 11 will stai as soon after the clearing of the underbrush is completed lis funds arc received for the work. An appeal for fund* for this lake construction has met with some liberal support from sportsmen in Winston- Salem and a goodly amount ha* already been raised hut as yet the amount is not sufficient for the completion of the work. Those interested in the pro ject may have a large part in it by sending their contribu tions to the author of this column or to the local Izaak Walton League headquarters. The site for the lake, which cover fifty acres, na ,! been donated by interested snorts nitn. The lake \\'i!' u* 1.? >in the giviit game preserve which th« State is locating ir. the Sauratown mountains, and will l>. on the right-hand side of 'he highway between Danbury :.r,u Piedmont Springs in Stokes county, within easy driving distance of Winston- Salem. The site has already been aj proved by the State Depart ment of Fisheries and the local cl-jb has the assurance that just as. soon as the lake is finished that it will be stocked by the State Department without any further costs. The project has not only the co-operation of the State anil Ftokis county but the local chapter of the Izaak Walton League. As there are no funds in the treasury of the Hague for work of this kind, MI appeal is made to the pub lic for funds. Everybody is invited to contribute to this worthy cause and it is certain that there are many who are interested in such a project and will be only too glad .if »he opportunity to lish in the !ak once it is an assured success. A fifty-acre lake will offer innumerable opportunities to fishers and campers who are only able to get out of the city on week ends. The League will be glad to have donations and members and assures all interested that the project will be one of the finest of its kind in the State. Georgia Tobacco Crop Now Being Cured Reports from Georgia are to the effect that tobacco curing is well underway in that State, the crop being about ten days earlier than last year. The yield per acre is not expected to be as heavy as last yeaI', 1 ', according to reports, but the tobacco is of a better quality. Crisp, fresh uncooked veget ables should he used in abund ance for the summer meals Where they have to he cooked, use as little fat a possible and cook quickly. Too much cook ing takes away both vitamins and minerals Million Baby Fish Are Distributed In State This Season Almost a million game fish fry had been distributee! from the several State hati : i*iies .through the period e»\ ng Ma*. . i ' trding to 1 received by J. K. Dixon, As stant Director of this Depart nn nt in charge of Inlan 1 Fisheries. Early indications are that there will be a large increase in the number of fish hatched this year over the previous year. It i- - now believeel that the crop of fry for IP2S will ami illit to at least o" more in comparison wi h around 2."i0,000 for the prev ious year. The greater part of the' dis tribution up until this time has been made to nursery ponds, where the fry will be held, until they have lvached the fmgerling size before the\ are stockeel in streams and other waters of the State. It is Assistant Director Dix on's belief that provision will be furnished this year for holding around fifty per cent, of the output of fry from the hatcheries to the fingerling size. All of these nurseries have £>een constructed this year with counties, municip alities, pports organizations, and individuals co-operating in the work. The movement for the con struction of rearing ponds for the hatchery fry was started in North Carolina several months ago, and this Depart ment has urged the co-opera tion of all factors interested in increasing the game fish popu lation of the streams. It gain ed headway principally within the last two months. At its last meeting, the Board of Conservation and De- velopment authorized Director Wade H. Phillips t-> proceed with the construction of nur sery ponds as far as the fin ances of the department would permit. This program has been amplified by appeals for co-operation frt>m ;-portsmen, organizations, municipalities, counties, andother factors. According to reports receiv ed at the Department, the dis tribution of fry from the State hatchery during the year has been approximately as follows: Morrison Hatchery, Waynes ville, 300,000 brook or speckled trout, Pete Murphy Hatchery, Maron, 135,000 rainbow trout and 150,000 large and small mouth bass; Boone, 150,0(>o brook or speckled trout • Roar ing Gap. 100,000, brook trout. Distribution has just started from the Frank Sedman Hat- ■ chery, Fayetteville, and the' Federal co-operative Hatchery , at Edenton, but it is estimated that the distribution of bass from these should amount to well above the half million j mark with possibly more with a favorable season. Because of the dependence in bass culture upon natural conditions, there is always an element of doubt in sucessful operation for any given season. Last year weather condition.* caused a curtailment in the supply of these for distribution in most parts of the country. The newest of the Sta*e hatcheries near Lake Jamus. Burke and McDowell counties, holds promise of having a suc cessful year of operation in its beginning. Supt. Frank J. Reiger has reported that thy bass are spawning, and thai prospects are encouraging. All of the fish at this hatchery, under agreement with the Burke-McDowell Commission, superceded by this Depart ment, will be released in the waters of Lake James and Rhodhiss Lake. THE DANBURY REPORTER CANNERIES SEE RAPID GROWTH Are Among Outstanding In dustrial Developments In N. C. Raleigh, June 22.—Canner ies were among the outstand ing new industrial develop ments in North Carolina dur ing the quarter of the year .just ending, judging from i review completed by the com merce and industry division > ' the State Conservation De ment with assistance of com mercial secretaries of t!" State. A sound industrial growt : . at cording to department ot!i cials, i indicated from a wi 1 variety of new industries es tablished within the expirii c three-months period, whit h besides, textile mills, veiled cutting plants, tobacco redo ing plants, and boat buildii'.!/ plants. The Chamber of Commerce in Washington, X. C„ reports the recent establishment these of a packing company that ex pects to do a yearly canning business amounting to some $50,U00 a year, employing some 20 people. The establish ment of a recreational club with an initial investment of $20,000 is also reported. Tho establishment of another can nery in Hendersonville is also reported, with an output of from live to ten thousand cases of canned goods per sea son, and employing from four to twelve employees. The establishment of a number of new enterprises in Union county is reported from Monroe, the largest being a wholesale lumber company in Monroe involving a capital outlay of $25,000. The opin ing of a new mercantile store and of another drug store there was also reported. From Murphy comes word of the opening of new veneer cutting plants, while Belhaven reports the opening of a new boat building plant. The establishment of a silk throwing plar.t in Oxford, in volving an investment of $40,- 000, as well as a tobacco redry ing plant at an investment of $50,000, is reported from Granville. Both of the?;.' in dustries have been started within the past three months, and are expected to have a combined yearly output 'if ap proximately $550,000. Tammany Hall. You have your own opinion about Tammany Hall. Hov j often one hears those who con- 1 aider themselves politically 1 wise, express decided opinion about Tammany. Judge Winston, of North Carolina, historian, politician and clear thinker of the old school, presents in the June Review of Reviews some ideas new to most of us, about the oldest self-constituted political organization in the world. Few people know that Tammany Hall dates back to the Revolu tionary War and that its original purpose was to attain equal manhood rights for all Americans, about which there 'were doubts in those exciting days. | In many good fights the South and Tammany have j stood shoulder to shoulder to ! enforce Jefferson's principles, I and the author believes that there is a sense of gratitude moving the hearts of South erners now spreading l ; k" wild fire. Here is something fos* all voters to think about in this great national sweepstakes just starting. All fools are not dead yet. Many of them are not even sick. Advertise In Local Newspapers The Manufacturers Record often urged the business peo ple for the influence which this will have in stimulating confidence at home and in at tracting the attention of out side people who may see copies of these papers. This point is strongly presented in an arti cle quoted by the Ocala, Fla., Star, from the American Banker, which said: "So business man in town should allow a newspaper pub lished in his town to go with out his name and business be ing mentioned somewhere in its columns. This applies to all kinds of business—general stores, dry goods, groceries, furniture dealers, manufactur ing establishments, automobile dealers, mechanics, profession al men, druggists; in fact, all classes of business men. This does not mean that you should have a whole or half or even a quarter page advertisement in each issue of the paper, but your name and busness should be mentioned, if you do not use more than a two line space. "A stranger picking up a newspaper should be able to tell what business is repre sent in the local town by look ing at the business mentioned in the paper. The man who does not advertise his business does an injustice to himself and the town. The man who insists on sharing the business that comes to town but refuses to advertise his own is not a valuable addition to any town. The life and snap of a towr depends upon the wide-awake, liberal advertising men." State To Have Record Surplus Raleigh, June 24.—Figures of the Budget Bureau today estimated that the State of North Carolina, will have a surplus of $2,067,000 at the close of the fiscal year on June 30.
