Strawberry A Blueberry Meeting
At a meeting of Blueberry gro
wers at Kenansville, Tuesday p.
m. Nov. 6, and a meeting of Straw
berry growers at Rose Hill, Tues
day night, Nov. 6, Dr. E. R. Col
lins, Extension Agronomist, Em
mitt Morrow, Associate Horticul-
turist and Johnny Lassiter, Ex
' tension Horticulturist discussed
with the growers of these two
crops cultural and fertilizer prac
tices. Their discussion was illu
strated with pictures on the
screen in natural color.
CORN:
During recent years yields per
acre on most all crops, except
corn have increased considerably.
The average yield for corn In Du
plin County is 20 to 22 bushels
per acre. This yield is so low that
the cost per bushel is usually
$1.00 or more. By increasing the
yield per acre the cost per bushel
can be reduced. This can be done
by:
1. Carefully selecting seed.
Using adapted hybrids when avail
able. 2. Higher applications of nitro
gen. 3. Growing soil building crops
to turn under.
4. Spacing corn according to
fertility of land and amount of
fertilizer (Soda) to be applied.
5. Well prepared seed beds.
6. Shallow cultivation (best
yields are reported where corn is
layed by before 1t is three feet
high).
Approximately 75,000 acres or
corn is grown annually in Duplin
County. If the yield is increased
even five bushels per acre, which
should be easy to do, this would
amount to 375,000 bushels more
corn annually.

Vets'' Recovery
Artists Give Portraits Free
To Soldier or Sailor
Hospital Cases.
NEW YORK. - On the walls of
many a modest American borne
there hang original portraits of G.I
Joes by famous artists whose work
ordinarily would command Impres
sive prices. However, these portraits
cost their possessors nothing. They
were given free to the soldier or
sailor sitters, as part of the contri
bution which American artists gen
erally have been making to the war
Sort, says the Chicago Herald
American. The "studios" for this particular
art movement are army and; navy
hospitals, and the models are wound
ed veternns to whom the experi
ence comes as a welcome break In
the tedium ol convalescence.
Sponsored both by the Red Cross
and USO-Camp shows, the experi
ment has proven to be a singularly
effective morale builder.
Many of the artist volunteers are
nationally famous. Others are rela
tively unknown. But, noted or ob
scure, they get an equally cordial
reception from their soldier cli
entele. Typical Art Session.
Typical of these hospital art ses
sions was a recent one in a traction
ward of the army's Halloran gen
eral hospital, Staten Island, N. Y.
Wielding brush and pencil were
Dean Corriwell, famous muralist;
Dan Content, noted magazine artist;
and Paul Frohm of King Features
syndicate, whose newspaper and
magazine illustrations are familiar
to a host of readers.
On the same day, patients at Ma
ion general hospital, Brentwood,
N. Y., sat for portraits by Arthur
William Brown, prpfidrnt of the So
ciety of Illustrators, Roy Prohaska,
equally noted as an illustrator; and
Bettina Steinke, .portrait painter.
The resultant sketches, auto
graphed by the artists, were given
to the models All said they would
send theirs "home to the folks." As
an additional service, the Red Cross
and USO-Camp shows make photo
graphic replicas of the portraits,
which the subjects can distribute
among friends.
Subjects at Halloran included
army casualties Erwin H. Becker,
19-year-old infantry private from
the Bronx, N. Y.; Cpl. Edgar G.
Steinecke, 28, of Scranton, Pa., and
TSgt. John F. Kraus, 31. of Brook
lyn. Patients Interested.
Becker's leg was fractured by
shrapnel after he crossed the Rhine,
and he was dragged to safety by
medical corps men.
A blast of mortar Are hit Stein
ecke In both legs as he advanced
with fellow infantrymen in the
Rhlneland.
Nazi machine gun bullets tore into
both Kraus' legs during the "Battle
of the Bulge."
All these men have been hospital
patients for long and painful
months, their wounded limbs immo
bilized in casts.
Dinner was over, and ordinarily
they would have faced three more
hours of hospital tedium until lights
out.
The arrival of the artists con
verted those three hours into a high
spot of pleasure.
No model was interested in just
his own portrait; he wanted to see
those of his buddies. There was a
lot of ribbing back and forth re
marks like, "Say, he's got you al
most as ugly as you are!" and
"Look, don't make Ed that hand
some bis folks won't know him."
The faces of the patients were
bright and interested, as contrasted
with apathy shortly before, and they
grinned their satisfaction as they
received their own portraits.
