Infected plants may -be dwarfed with 'puckered leaves. Circular, tannish leaf spots with reddish brown borders develop.

Dr. Brogden down for a now numbers 600 members in Du plin and Pender counties with ad ditoinal members in New Hanover and Onslow. Mr. Cording stated that the Amer ican Breeders service had added beef bulls of the Black Angus breed to the sire list and recommended that the association also furnish the membership with this service. Mr. J. N. Honeyc'utt, Pender Coun ty Agricultural Agent told of the increased demand for beef animals and felt that as some Black Angus herds were being established in the territory it would be well to adopt the plan. Several members ex pressed the opinion that Angus cattle mature rapidly, adapt them selves readily to any climate and commanded a premium price on the larger markets that a rcil op portunity to improve the beef cat tle of the area would be made pos sible by adopting Mr. Cording: suggestion. .The motion.,? r- ried and semen from beef bull .!"; be available within a few weeks.

Garriss, plant pathologist for the State College Etxension Service. Garriss says a disease known as anthracnose was found attacking plant beds in a few counties last spring. It appears that the recom mended dust and spray treatments for blue mold control will also control the new disease. Anthracnose was first discovered in North Carolina in the spring of 1951. During the season it was found at seven locations in the counties of Carteret, Golumbus, Craven, Johnston, Wake and David son. "Presumably, with these widely scattered sources of infection, the disease eould spread rather rapid ly." says Garriss. "On the other hand ,no one can predict whether the disease will become a serious bined during the past five years (1947 through 1951), the allotment shall be divided on a history basis with each tract receiving the same proportion that such tract contri buted to the allotment at the time of the combination (with corres ponding increases, and decreases) Where a farm is being divided and such farm was combined prior tc 1947 or the farm has remained a? one farming unit since the begin ning of the program, the division will be made on the percentage of cropland basis. 1952 Tobacco Allotment Notices To Be Mailed To Producers Within .

No. 7 By Maude P. Smith In April, 1949, Russ Woodcock. 84 year old white man of Magnolia disappeared from the home of his son Waitus Woodcock. Within an hours time Sheriff Jones and his deputies and a number of other men were searching the entire sec tion between Magnolia and Del way. The search continued for three weeks with the help of planes and the National Guard, who fin ally gave up hopes of ever finding him. Sheriff Jones followed up reports irom hayetteville that Mr. ! Woodcock had been seen there. They also followed a hunch that he may be at a little hut down a river at Elizabethtown. A report came that someone thought that he had been killed by a bootlegger and thrown in a river. Sheriff Jones had the river dragged. Everything in everyone's power was done in order to find him, but to no avail. The recluse lived in a little home in Magnolia until it was burn ed several years ago .then moved into the home with his son, Waitus Woodcock and family, on Whit J.eld Ncwkirks tana near Con- cord. Mr. Woodcock had a sick mind and was subject to wander fiom his home. he had to be watched closely all of the time. One dav. two i-;ir.i anil len months ago. lie itvkcd away Irom Mrs. i Waitus Woodcock, who was at I home with him aiinu- and whose ! health was poo:-, and wandered off before she could uc! help. I On Tuesday of la.t week Beatrice I Fussell of Rose Hiil called Sheriff Jones and told him that some bones I had been found near the old Wil ; mington - Weldon highway near Beasiey's Mill Pond. Sheriff Jones jam! Deputy Perry Smi:h went to the scene and found t;:e hones of a i human, which consisted of a skull, neck bone, leg. arm bones, and a few back bones. It was known that Mr. Woodcock carried an old lum ber pencil, as he used to work for a saw mill and he also carried w-ash-ers in his pocket. The pencil and washers were found. Also fouri,. were buttons" from his lumber jac-'! ket and overalls. A fire which raz ed the woods last summer in which the remains were found had burned his clothing, but there were still fragments of his overalls on which' the buttons were sewed. The bones were found by 16 men work ing for Plymouth Pulpwoosl Co. The men were setting pines out in the burned area when they came across them. They lay on a hill about three miles from the home where he was living with his son. It is said that he often walked the fire lane. 72 feet from where he was found. Sheriff Jones reports that one man had walked within about 17 steps of the body during the search. The officers put the bones into past or ai d box and carried them lo Qi'inr-McGowan's funeral home V- arsaw where the son Waitus identified them as li s fathers. Mr. V.'o (k ick buried his father in a at in ;he Magnolia cemetery Wed nesday. Mr. Woodcock had lived in the Magnolia vicinity all of his life. Lf.
