Raleigh, March 12.— Transformation
of some 150 miles of the most desir
able fishing waters of North Carolina
into natural hatcheries to provide
more enticing angling grounds for
residents of this State and visitors, is
the ambitious program proposed by
the Department of Conservation and
Development, J. D. Chalk, State game
and inland fish commissioner, an
nounced today.
Would Close Streams.
One of the first steps will be to
close these portions of streams, all of
which are in Eastern North Carolina,
to fishing for a specified period,
which is contemplated to extend for
a year.
This system is to be tried out in
Eastern North Carolina first, accord
ing to the commissioner, because ot
limited facilities for re-stocking these
waters from the State hatcheries, and
because the game fish found in the
streams cannot be propagated as
easily as mountain trout. The output
of warm water fish depends upon na
Put this extra
money in your
own pocket!
Every Southern farmer know*
that ARCADIAN, THE AMERICAN NI
TRATE OF SODA increases yields of
cotton, corn end all other crops.
* But not all know about the Extra
NITROGEN in '“Arcadian". And that
Extra Nitrogen is something
really worth knowing about.
In cash value the Extra Nitro
gen over the 16% guaranteed,
runs as high as 88c per ton.
This is reported by the Depart
, m ent of Agriculture and Immi
gration of the State of Virginia.
Every time you buy "ARCADIAN",
you are sure of two things: 1 —
superior crop-growing value as
proved by many tests; 2 —Extra
Nitrogen which does not cost
you one extra cent.
When you buy
ARCADIAN, THE AMERICAN
NITRATE OF SODA
. you get extra cash value which is just like
putting money right in your own pocket.

Mr. Chalk and his field force have
been studying plans and mapping ou.
details of the program for several
months, after obtaining approval of
the Board of Conservation and Devel
opment.
Start on Trent River.
A strip of about 35 miles of the
Trent river, extending from Wilson s
Creek to the. highway bridge at Tren
ton. county seat of Jones county, will
be one of the first areas to be set
aside for the program. Stretches of
the Dumber River. Waccamaw River,
Black River. Northeast Cape Fear
River, and Alligator River are also
being considered for the purpose,
According to plans of the game and
inland fisheries commissioner, after
the closed period has expired, the ori
ginal portion will be opened for fish
ing and other strips will bo closed.
The reserved parts of the rivers would
be alternated under the plan to per
mit fishing in some portions while
other parts are closed. Game fishing
would be improved considerably when
the closed strips are opened to an
glers and would provide excellent at
tractions for non-residents as well as
for the people who live in the imme
diate vicinity and other parts of the
state.

Meeting To Be Held At Nor

of Next Week
BY FRED r. ABBOTT,

Railway, Hamlet, N. C.
The canteloupe industry of Warren
county in the Ridgeway section is one
of long standing and great importance
as a money crop. Canteloupes com
ing from this section have for a long
while enjoyed an enviable reputation
in some of the consuming markets,
but certain conditions are now enter
ing the deal that if not quickly cor
rected will no doubt be the mcau s pT
this canteloupe soon losing favor i.?
the larger markets, with results that
will be disastrous to the growers.
This fall the Agricultural Depart
ment of the Seaboard Air Dine Rail
way made a rdther exhaustive study
of the canteloupe business in this sec
tion, both as regards the cultural
practices and also extended the inves
tigation into the various markets to
which these canteloupes go, and in
the course of this study have develop
ed a great amount cf information that
if adapted, should be very valuable to
cantelcupe producers in this section.
This information has been placed in
the hands of organized canteloupe
growers and it is now proposed to
make an effort to reach every cante
loupe grower in Warren county thro
ugh a general meeting which will be
held on March 17 at 7:23 p. m. in the
Norlina high school auditorium at
Norlina, and at which meeting results
of this investigation will be made pub
lic tc all people interested in this in
dustry.
In addition Dr. D. F. Fisher, of the
Bureau cf Plant Industry at Wash
ington, D. C., will discuss the impor
tance of maturity; Randal G. Ether
idge, chief of the North Carolina Di
vision of Markets, will discuss ship
ping point inspection; E. B. Morrow,
extension horticulturist for the State
of North Carolina, will discuss cul
tural practices and fertilizers; and Dr.
R. F. Poole, research pathologist for
the State of North Carolina, will dis
cuss insects and diseases.
This meeting should be of great im
portance to every one interested in
the growing or shipping of cante
loupes and it is urged that every one
so interested arrange to attend this
meeting.

DRUDGERY CAN BE
REMOVED IN WORK
\
Extension Specialist at State
College Talks of Eas
ing Housework
College Station, Raleigh, March 12
—Take the drudgery out of house
work and make it a healthful exer
cise, urged Miss Pauline Gordon, ex
tension specialist In home manage
ment at State College.
If the housework is done correctly,
she said, it will be less fatiguing and
will help one to keep fit. Bad pos
ture is more exhausting than a reas
onable amount of work.
To lessen backaches that come
when the housewife stoops to lift
haevy objects, she could bend her
knees and place one foot ahead of
the other. Keep the back straight
and bend the hips and knees.
Tliis will place the work on the
strong leg muscles and bones, Miss
Gordon explained, and will ease the
strain on the back.
Difting in this manner also tones
up the thigh and hip muscles and
helps one avoid the “middle-age
spread,” she pointed out.
When reaching forward from a sit
ting position, she continued, it is best
to bend at the hips so as to keep the
back straight. Do not bend the trunk
forward when walking up stairs.
Standing and sitting “talk” is a
good motto, she stated. That is, keep

Raleigh, March 12—Prisoners in
the State Frison system are think
ing more about baseball and the or
ganization of baseball teams than of
escaping these days, due to the new
recreational program being put into
effect throughout the entire prison
system, Acting Director Oscar T.
Pitts, of the prison division of the
State Highway and Public Works
Commission, said today. Every spare
minute the prisoners have after do
ing their work, they are planning out
their baseball teams and schedules,
Pitts said.
“I have never seen the morale of
the prisoners better than it is at the
present time,” Pitts said. “Out at the
Central Prison here, the men in the
different divisions are organizing
baseball teams, while the various
camps are also organizing teams.
They also are doing everything pos
sible to get me to transfer men known
to be good baseball players to their
particular division. Indications are
that we are going to have some ex
the back bone straight by trying to
keep the top of the head as high as
possible without straining.
Reach overhead is a good stretch
ing exercise. Sweeping is good for
maintaining a trim figure if the house
wife twists from the hips instead of
placing all the work on the arms.

Full-Sized Diamonds
A full sized baseball diamond is
now being levelled off inside the pri
son walls at the Central Prison, while
similar fields are being laid off in all
the prison camps where sufficient
space is available. In some of the
camps, the enclosures are being en
larged to provide space for baseball
fields. The prison division is provid
ing the baseballs, gloves and bats and
the prisoners are already spending all
the time they can find in “warm
ing up” practice.
The prisoners employed in the
printing shop at the Central Prison
have already organized a baseball
team and named it “The Printers
Devils” and are getting ready to chal
lerge all the other teams in the sys
tem. This team played a team organ
ized from among the prisoners who
work in the kitchen and dining room
last week and gave it a good wallop
ing. The “hash slingers” team is now
looking for another pitcher with
which they can beat the “devils” from
the print shop. They have asked
Pitts to transfer Lemanuel Hooker,
big negro pitcher from the Perqui
mans camp to Central Prison, to im
prove their pitching staff. The “Print
ers Devils” are also trying to get
Hooker.
