future.
Baird appointed two commit
tees, membership and constitu
tion and by-laws, and asked that
both report back at the next
meeting, set for tomorrow (Fri
day) night at 8:30 at the library.
The committees are: Member
ship, George Wilcox, chairman,
George McDonald, Grady Wright,
C. L. Worsham and Tom Gray.
Constitution and by-laws, Austin
Sauls, chairman, Charlie Myers,
Lynn Ledden, Ed Nicholson and
Charlie Clapp.
At the Friday night meeting
election of permanent officers
and the adoption of the constitu
tion and by-laws will be held.
Baird urged that all men in
Southern Pines between the ages
of 21 and 36—the age limits that
are universal in Jaycee member
ship—^be present. Last week, he
pointed out, the meeting conflict
ed with the adult softball league
schedule and prevented many
prospective members from at
tending.

DEWBERRIES
(Continued from page 1)
“Tobacco allotments are getting
smaller all the time,” he said,
“and might continue to do so. An
other cash crop is a necessity for
Moore farmers and, many of us
feel, dewberries might provide a
part of the answer. Conceivably,
dewberries could yield an income
per acre as high as tobacco. The
new Carolina variety of dewber
ries is taking to Moore County’s
soil pretty well, and several farm
ers are planting them on an ex-
perinjental basis.”
J. T. McLeod, who lives about
eight miles from Carthage on the
Sanford road, has planted about
six acres. He was the first farm
er in the county to plant the new
variety and so far has shown mod
erate success with it. ♦
This week, following the height
of the dewberry season, he fig-
uijed his yield had been about 140
to 150 crates per acre for the old
er plants, those planted for sev
eral years. Not the high dollar
yield that tobacco produces but
still better than some other crops,
he felt. He hopes for an eventual
yield of about 200 crates per acre.
McLeod feels that the biggest
thing needed to help potential
dewberry growers are more sub
stantial markets. H^ sells most
of his crop to a cannery and feels
that canneries are important in
the final answer as to whether
farmers should get back into the
business.
“This year I sold a number of
crates on the so-called fresh mar
ket,” he said, “but found that can
neries would take all I had. If
the officials of the new cannery in
Aberdeen, right now interested in
peaches and a few other selected
crops, could take all the dewber
ries grown here, dewberries might
make a tremendous comeback.”
Harvesting the berry presents a
real problem. Labor costs are
high and the vines are highly re
ceptive to weather changes. Last
year McLeod had a very small
crop due to the late cold snap.
Existing farm machinery is not
completely suitable for fertilizing
and spraying the tail pole-held
vines. And that constant thought
that the berries are on a pme-
what experimental basis is discon
certing to many farmers.
They feel that planting any ap
preciable number of plants would
be too much of a gamble. Several
have held out against them be
cause of the unusually short sea
son when the berries are just right
for picking. Right now the sea
son is not more than three weeks.
In the early 1900’s the vines
were healthy and the season last
ed four to five weeks. After years
of prosperity the vines started
falling to the “brown rot” disease
and dewberries were considered
just another crop that “used to
be.”
When the Cameron variety, so
named because of the importance
of Cameron as the shipping center,
was introduced about 10 years ago
there was increased interest. A
few years of growth proved, how
ever, that the vines were stronger
but the number of berries was not
sufficient to make the crop prof
itable.
L. B. McKeithen, Cameron ber
ry broker, said last week that the
quantity is increasing and can
neries are showing more interest
in the berries. Right now, he
pointed out, the Winston-Salem
cannery he ships all his berries to
is paying 13 y2 cents per pound
and furnishes crates and transpor
tation.
But for real prosperity, he add
ed, the county needs to produce
from 60,000 to 90,000 crates each
year.

I As to a timetable, Mr. Lockey
I said this must await the comple
tion of the road, but maintained
that “this is coming on very well.”
I He pointed out that the base-
I course, which is the final layer ap
plied before the top-paving, would
I be the next step, for which it is
'expected to let the contract in
July.
“And we can at least expect
I those bare banks to be greened
over by next winter,” Mr. Lockey
said.
As to what can be done beyond
the “bare banks,” where the state-
owned land ends, “this is some
thing for the town to decide,” said
the commissioner, adding that the

Special Term Called
For Tuesday, Jime 26
W. B. Sabiston, Jr., Carthage
attorney and assistant judge of
Moore County Recorder’s Court,
presided at the regular session
Monday in the absence of Judge
Vance Rowe, who is on two
week’s vacation.
In Oldening the court Mr. Sabis
ton recalled that Judge Rowe,
first elected in 1934, had never
requested nor been granted a
leave of absence in all that time.
“This is a well deserved and rich
ly earned vacation for Judge
Rowe,” he commented.
Judge Sabiston departed from
the usual custom in writing down
the judgments; he called for a
secretary and, in rapid fire order,
heard more than two dozen cases
before adjourning court in the
middle of the afternoon.
He announced a special session
next Tuesday, in addition to the
regular one Monday, to work on
a backlog of cases that have been
piling up for a number of months.
The cases, he pointed out, haven’t
been tried because the defendants
hadn’t been in court on the re
quired day. Court attendants
guessed he would order a num
ber of bond forfeitures in order
to clear the records.
Judge Rowe, who is an official
delegate of the Sandhill Kiwanis
Club to the international conven
tion being held in San Francisco,
will return July 2.
