' ' Waterways s scheduled to get un
der way within the next sixty days,
' v according to the Wilmington Dls
- trict of the Corps of 'Engineers.
The Norfolk Dredging Company
was awarded a contract, April 1 to
remove some 113,000 cubic yards of
, shoals In the Inland Waterway from
ONew Hiver to Utile River, S. C. tot
include the yacht basin at South,
port. Major shoals in the waterway
Include the New River crossing,
Howe Creek three' miles north of
WrWrhtsvillfk; Carolina Bench Inlet
. and the Lockwoeds Polly Inlet June
tion. This work is scheauled to be-
gin in .30 days. Shoaled areas in the
' Waterway will be restored to 12
, feet and the JSouthport basin to 10
feet
' Bids will be opened here April. 12
to restore Wallace Channel to a 10
foot depth from the gorge in Oc
racoke Inlet across Royal Shoals to
deep water in Pamlico Sound. This
contract will consist Of removing
about 112,00 cubic yards of shoals
and will take about a month.
The Gerig, Corps of Engineers
hopper dredge, is scheduled to com.
plete dredging in Beaufort Inlet
April 22 and depart three days la
ter for a month's dredging in New
England. At the conclusion of this
work, the Gerig, according to pre
sent plans, will return to North
Carolina waters for two weeks of
bar channel dredging at the mouth
of the Cape Fear River.

liminary figures of water - borne
traffic at Wilmington and Morehead
City show slight increase for the
first two months of 1959 against
the same period In 1854. .'
Tonnage handled by the two deep
water ports for January and Feb
ruary of 1955 totaled 766,402 tons and
769,240 tons for January and Feb
ruary of 1954. ,
Individually, Morehead City han
dled 68,134 tons in 1955 against 90,
467 tons in 1954 for the two month
period. Wilmington had 698,268 tons
in 1955 and 678,773 tons in 1954 for
the same period. ,
The loss at Morehead City IS ac
counted for in main part by shift
ing of bunker oil distribution to
Wilmington. The exporting of some
12,000 tons of scrap iron, cheese and
butter accounted in great part for
the 20,000 ton increase at Wilming
ton. Duval Greer, who compiles wat
er borne commerce statistics, cau
tioned that these figures are subject
to revision because of late reporting
by shipping interests.

Dry.
Cleaning Cooking Utensils Cook
ing utensils and beverage makers
of various kinds are subject to stain
formation. Thus, dried on foods
form hard to remove rings on bak
ing dishes and casseroles. Coffee
and tea leave brown stains in the
pot or in cups in which the bev
erage is brewed . or served. In the
same way, containers used for grow
ing ivy or house plants in water of
ten acquire stubborn green rings
and discolorations. The use of the
basic baking soda cleaning solution
(3 tablespoonfuls of soda to 1 quart
warm water) is a safe, simple, easy
to use remedy
To remove dried on stains from
casseroles, baking dishes or glass or
enameled ware cooking utensils in
which food has been cooked, put
three tablespoonfuls of baking soda
into the dish, fill with hot water
and (let stand a few minutes. Then
wipe off the stain, wash and rinse
Garden Time
It should be safe now to plant
most warm season vegetable crop"
anywhere in the state east of the
mountains; It is true that I have
had tomato plants killed by frost
in 'Wake County as late as April
25th but that is unusual. Also, if
the plants have been well hardened
a light frost will not harm them.
Tomato, eggplant, and pepper plants
should be hardened before trans
planting to the field by withholding
their water supply; that is, by keep
ing them on the dry side for a few
days.
Try some of the new bean varie
ties this year. Wade and Contend
er are excellent varieties and they
nrp almnst immune to mosaic which
sometimes recfuces the production
of Tendergreen considerably. Im
proved Stringless Blue Lake is an
excellent pole bean, especially for
canning and freezing, and it is ab
solutely stringless.
It is time to talk about sweet
corn again. There are a few gard
eners who still plant early varieties
of field corn for roasting1 ears be.
cause the ears are large and there
are not many earworms. However
once you have given real sweet
corn a lair trial you will not be
no comparison in edible quality.
Recommended varieties for both
fresh use and for canning or freez
ing are Seneca Chief, Golden Cross
Bantam and Iona. These are all
yellow varieties. Corn is mostly
wind pollinated and therefore it is
best to plant In blocks ol two or
I three rows rather than in a single
row. sweet corn is or pest quality
if used as soon as harvested. If it
cannot be used immediately, it
should be kept on ice or in the re
frigerator, otherwise, it will lose
a large part of its sugar content in
a few hours and will taste like
! field corn.
I The emphasis is still being put
on icebox size watermelons. The
'New Hampshire Midget variety
which grows to the size of a canta
loupe has become quite popular in
the home garden. Hills may be spac
ed as close as five feet apart. A
fault of this variety is that it be
comes ever ripe very quickly. The
best of them all, in my opinion, is
the Japanese Seedless melon. It
will average from eight to 12 pounds
in weight, and is of excellent quai
ity. There are seldom more than
a dozen mature seeds in a melon
The rest of the seeds are undevelop
ed and may be eaten with the mel
on. Seeds for planting are quite ex
pensive four to five cents per
seed this year, but the results are
worth it. The only retail source rf
seed that I have listed is the Joseph
Harris Seed Co., Rochester 11, N. Y.
Commercial Egg
Outlook Bright
Commercial egg production in
North Carolina is one of the more
attractive farm enterprises at the
present time, according to C. P.
Libeau, poultry and egg marketing
specialist, State College Extension
Service.
Small farms and part time farm's
are in a particularly good position
to take advantage of this favorable
poultry outlook, Libeau says, since
poultry is one of the most suitable
enterprises on such farms.
As the peak production of eggs is
left behind, egg prices in the next
fnur months are exDerted to streng
Feeding Calf lej
On Grain, Despite
Short '54 Crop
Farmers have observed the wide
spread differences between the pri.
ces paid for thin cattle and for fat
cattle. ,
As a result there is more interest
in grain feeding cattle before they
are marketed. Kyen with the short
beau bases his forecast partly on the
following evidence.
1. Normal seasonal pattern points
to an Increase in price Grade A
large eggs are usually 15 to 20
'ents higher in October than in
March in North Carolina. Other for
ces should make this season's price
rise greater than usual.
2. Hens started laying earlier in
the fall of 1954; this means that they
should moult or stop laying earlier
this summer.
3. For each of the past six months,
fewer pullets have been started for
laying flock replacements than a
year earlier.
4. More eggs may be used for
broiler production the rest of the
year than in 1954, thereby streng
thening demand.
5. Consumers will have a littit
more money.
Many factors that helped demor
alize buyer prices last fall will not
be present this fall.
corn crop in Itfp4 there have been
more beef cattle fed grain before
emg sent to the market' than ever
before.
There is another trend. The cat
tle that are grain' fed are being sold
directly to the meat packer or
slaughterer rather than run through
the auction ring. Then too, the far
mer loses his bargaining power.
There are not many slaughterers
that want fat cattle and naturally
the other farmers do not want to
buy fat cattle. As a result fat grain
fed cattle have not sold in weekly
auctions as good as thin cattle.
The one weakness in the grain
feeding of cattle is that a given far
mer does not have a large enough
'-nun of cattle on feed to encourage
the buyers to visit his farm. These
buyers want at least a big truck at
the time of uniform grade
Soil fumigation
A man should never marry a girl
b.iuA biie may learn to love
him a little learning is a dangerous
.hing.
People who become popular
through extravangance lese it as
declare is a good thing.
Household Hint
Every bathroom should have In
an easily found place arrange
ments for cleaning the tub. The
best might be a long-handled
brush and an agreeable looking
can filled with whatever cleaning
powder you like. Do not hide them
so that guests can't find them,
and are forced to clean the tub
with their own face cloths.
Kenneth Edgerton of the Nahunta
community and Gordon Best who
lives on the Seven Springs high
way beyond Seymour Johnson Air
Force Base are conducting soil
fumigation demonstration from
which they hope to get some good
information that will help them and
other people in their community.
Both of these men have exper.
ienced trouble with their tobaco in
these fields in previous years. They
thought their trouble was caused
by nematodes but they did not know
which kinds of nematodes were
causing the trouble. Through the
cooperation of the Wayne County
agents office. and the Plant Diseaie
Department at State College thee
men had seme analysis made to 'e- ; .
termine what kind of ' nematode
they had. Mr. vest's report showed .
that he had severe nematode counts -of
all three groups that attack to- ,
iacco robt knot; .meadow, and stunt. '
Mr. Edgerton's report showed that ;
be had stunt and meadow nematode
but no root knot. There was no pre
ference to fumigants as far as the
research people at the college wer
concerned in these two cases., v
Mr. Best and Mr. Edgerton ar
using both DD and EDB (EDB :s
sold as soilfume 85, Dow W 85 and
Nemex 85) in these fields to see. if
they can tell any difference in the
results from these two fumigantsk.
Prospective planting reports show
that North Carolina farmers will
plant slightly fewer acics this year.
