Mr. Hardy had been infailing health for some time. A perpetual question along .the North Carolina coast in recent years has been, "How far is the Gulf Stseam 'from various poiats along the stale's ocean shoreline?" The question has been asked so many times since Gulf Stream fishing kas become popular that the Cham ber of Commerce in Morehead City requested Senator William B. Um- stead's office inWashington to get authentic data from the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. - . Some of the skippers in More head City have taken parties off shore to what they called the "Gulf Stream," but whiclrthey admit was not actually the blue tropical wa ters. Some even stated. operily, that the Gulf Stream off Morehead City was actually 75 to 100 miles. Actu ally, according to the report that Senator Umstead received, the Gulf Stream- is only 30 nautical miles or 35 statute miles from Morehead- City. From Cape Lookout which can be reached in small boats with out passing through an inlet from Morehead City - - the last landfall on the offshore course to blue wa ter, the Gulf .Stream is only 20 nau tical or 23 statute miles. The position of the Gulf Stream iew Today's Pattern -' SIZE W II m fr rr Fewer Chickens In State Preliminary estimates show that North Carolina far.ners will raise 3 fewer chickens during 1947 than they did last year. This esti mate indicates that 20,742,000 chiok ens, exclusive of broilers, will be raised in 1947, compared with 21, 383,000 raised last year. The Crop Reporting Service based its estimate on reports as of June 1st, obtained by rural, .mail carriers from farmers. Mrs. Annie Rouse visited- Mr, and Mrs. J. S.

STOPS B CUIUS Mo lor MeWjel Sympo""PCWEI gSs' shifts from time to time and con sequently it is not possible to 'as sign 'definite limits to the Stream, according to'Senator Unistead'S in formation. The Stream is nearer to North Carolina off Cape Hatteras where it is calculated to be. only 10 nautical miles or .12 statute miles. Other distances in nautical miles are: from New River, 45; .WrightsVille, 45; Ocracoke Inlet, 20; Oregon Inlet, 30. The seasonal variation in the distance is uncer tain.,,. . . ".. Off the 'North Carolina coast there, is no definite eastern bound--I ary bf the Stream as Us waters merge gradually with the waters -of the open Atlantic. The depth at its western or inner edge varies From about five fathoms near Cape Hatteras to more than 29 fathoms between Cape Fear and Cape Hat teras. Northeastward of Capo Hat teras depths at the western edge of the Stream increase rapidly to mere than 1,000 fathoms. Depth of the axis off North Carolina Increase from about '300 fathoms off Cape Fear to about 2,000 fathoms east of the northern boundry of North Carolina.
