FAiSON SECTION
Rev. J. M. GibbsTo Hold Regular
i Services Af Baptist Church In Faison
The members of the Faison Bap:
list Church are very fortunate in
securing the services of Rev. J. M.
Gibbs as supply pastor, who will
,. terve tne cnurch twice each month,
first Sunday morning and third
Sunday evening.
Rev. Gibbs of Stedman retired
: from active pastorate the first of
.this year. His last pastorate con
sisted of Green Springs and Mt.
Vernon churches In the Robeson
Association, and Mt Pisgah In the
New South River Conference. For
the past three years he has been
president of the New South River
Pastors' Conference
An interesting feature of Mr.
Gibbs ministry is that about half I
of It was spent on the western side
of the Mississippi, and the other
half on the eastern side. For the
past 12 years he has been serving
churches on the east side. He plans
now to do supply work, hold re
vivals, and engage in general re
ligious work wherever and when
ever it is convenient for him to do
so. Rev. Gibbs will be happy to be
come acquainted with not only the
Baptist people of Faison' and sur
rounding community but all others
as well and a very cordial invita
tion is extended to everyone to
come and join in the services each
time.

'A LOOKIN' UP
By: A. M. DAVIS
Very often we hear the statement
by a local farmer that he cannot
make money on truck farming any
more. Those of us who buy most of
our vegetables through the local
stores want to question this state
ment. Prices we have to pay for
these vegetables and truck produce
are high enough to have insured
the farmer a fair profit if he had
received a just price for his pro
duce. This makes it sound as if our.
local merchant or broker is taking
unfair advantage of the farmer
and of we who buy from them.
This Is not true at all.
Careful Investigation will prove
that many of our desirable vege
tables and produce sold through
our local stores are grown In areas
other than ours. This should not
be necessary. Our soil and temper
ature should enable us to grow
practically all of our own needs
and grow extensively for shipment
to other markets.
Faison was at one time one of
the largest fresh vegetable and
produce markets in the entire
country. Although still recognized
as the largest cucumber market,
we have in the past few years let
our enviable record slip from our
grasp due to lack of scientific
methods of growing and handling
of our products. People, I myself
am guilty-, will have a tendency I
when things are going well to let
them ride as they may. We are
lazy, so to speak, especially down 1
south, and don'.t like to do any
mor& than we have to do to main
tain a fair standard of living. We
give up too easily. I
The sad result of all this is that
the northern and Florida markets
are taking not only commercial
markets away from us but our local
markets as well. Necessity is now
forcing us to change, our methods
or close our produce markets and

una sometmng else to do for a
living. This will not only be true
with, our commercial produce grow
ers but will also be true with other
types of farming as well if we do
not seek and use the improved
methods that are offered, us by
competent experiments and prov
en methods.
We, as human nature goes, like
to blame our woes on the brokers
In our community. This puts the
broker In a very unenviable posi
tion. He does not have a chance
to market our Improperly grown
and improperly packed produce in
competition with the produce of
areas where improved methods are
being used. His market is limited
to the few Who buy cheap and sell
cheap. Consequently the farmer's
market Is also limited to a low
market price for his produce.
Seeing the trend of things and
with visions of a greater future
for the people of this area, a group
of men from Duplin, Sampson and
Wayne counties got together and
through tireless efforts brought
the Coastal Plain Vegetable Re
search Farm to Faison. This will
mean a great deal to the farmers
of this community if they will put
Into practice the improved methods
that will be proven on this farm.
They are here to do what the
average farmer cannot afford to do
for himself - - experimentation. In
carrying on these experiments they
kn'ow there will be many crops and
varieties that will not be success
ful but they will be looking for
those that wilt be. They will be
able to point out to us those that
will be and offer us suggestions
regarding the fertilizing and grow
ing of the desirable crops.
In having the station here we can
have experiments at no cost to us
in the scientific growing of crops
on our own soil and with our own
climatic conditions.
The station is located on a plot
leased from L. E. Taylor about 1
mile from town on the dirt road
to Turkey. Albert A. Banadyga is
manager and John Stallings will
assist him with the experiments.
Farmers throughout this area are
invited to inspect the farm and its
equipment. In this way they can
gain first-hand information regard
ing the experiments. Visitors will
find the personnel connected with
the station very glad to show them
around and explain the various
methods used.
We are greatly indepted to Mr.
Banadyga for the following infor
mation regarding the planned pro
gram of the station.
Extensive experimentation will
be carried on with crops that are
being grown In this area, such as
peppers, eggplant, snap beans, (in
cluding wax bean), horticultural
or cranberry beans, lima beans, to
matoes, okra, watermelons, canta
loupes, squash, cucumbers, (fresh
market and pickling), sweet corn,
cabbage, Irish potatoes and sweet
potatoes.
Extensive experiments with
crops not grown in this area to find
whether or not they could be grown
profitably or not will be carried
on In the growing oi heels, broc
coli, brussel sprouts, cauliflower,
chicory, lettuce, carrots, spinach,
asparagus, and others. They hope
to stress the introduction of new
money crops to take the place of
those controlled crops whose acre
age has been cut in the past few
years. The possibility of growing
fall and winter crops more exten
sively will be seriously considered
in making the experiments with
new crops.
In experimenting with the above
crops the following will be taken
Into consideration: ' .
1. Variety trials r- to find the
best suited varieties of vegetables
for this area -- with reference to
quality, yield and time of maturity.
2. Cultural practices -- methods
and time of seeding, transplanting,
spacing, cultuvabion and weed con
trol. Best cover crops and rotation
of crops to be stressed. It is a well
known fact that the latter Is not
considered as much as It should be
throughout this area.
3. Soils and , fertilizer experi
ments - - endeavoring to establish
which soil and fertilizer practices
are focL suited for the various
crops.
4. Disease and insect work -
lie control of disease and insects
by use of dusts, sprays, crop rota-
