Sweet
Potato
At Rones Chapel Ready
Because of the decrease in impor
tance of tobacco so far as farmers
being able to depend on it solely
for their income in Eastern North
Carolina, 'farmers' art looking to
other sources for increasing their
income. - -
Sweet potatoes-has made great
strties in many sections, among
them the Rones Chapel community
in Duplin County, about four miles
east of Mount Ollv
. The tobacco crop in northern Du
plin has been far below average for
the past three years because of ad
verse weather conditions. ? -V"
As a result, farmers have been
turning to sweet potato1 production.
Aldine Whitfield and Jarvis Carter,
who are constructing a targe sweet
potato curing house, say that sweet
potato acreage in a five mile radius
of Bones Chapel has increased a

went to the Tiger's 41 yard line as
Kenan presented an unsurmount
able c'ebense On defense, Coach
Bill Taylos gave the whole line a
lot of praise lead by Braswell, Litch
Huie and Ervin Martin.
The Tigers are host to Smithfield
this coming Friday night in what
will in my opinion be the top game
of the year In the East Central
Conference. Smithfield will bring to
Warsaw one of the finest teams ever
turned out In Mike Starling and
Co. Of course the Tigers will be
ready, and lets show them we are

Screw-Dorm Infestation
Is Worst It Has Been In
DaDlin-Lenoir Since '50
Screw-worm infestation in Le
noir County is the worst now that
it-.has been since 1950.
Duplin County Farm Agent Ver
non Reynolds also said today that
screw-worm infestation in Duplin
is by far the worst it has been since
the outbreak in 1950. He advises
farmers to examine their livestock
carefully. 'It will be bad from now
until real cold weather,' he saij.
County A'gent Joe Koonce, Jr.,
said today that more farmers have
reported screw-worm infestation in
Lenoir County recently and that
care should be taken to prevent
wounds in animals.
Koonce and Henry Ramseur, as
sistant county agent in charge of
livestock, point out that farmers
should remember that to become in
fested, an animal must have a
wound on which the screw-worm
fly can lay its eggs.
Such wounds usually result from
castrating, branding, marketing, de
horning, shear cuts, accidental cuts,
bruises, or scratches, or bites from
ticks or blood-sucking flies.
The screw-worm is the larva or
maggot, of a blow fly. This fly is
deep blue with reddish eyes and
faint black stripes on its back, re
sembling a bluebottle fly.
The screw-worm fly lays eggs in
the shingle like masses (wounds in

EDITORIAL
By Paul Barwick
PERSONALLY SPEAKING ABOUT CARLTON
When Wray Carlton was playing his high school
football for Coach Thel Overman at Wallace, everybody
knew he was a great ball player, especially his oj
ponents.
Teams which came up against Wallace, that was
before the team became known as Wallace-Rose Hill,
knew more about his ability than did the spectators who
were amazed at his running ability.
At the tme he was playing, I had returned from
college and was following the Mount Olive team very
carefully. Saw all the Mount Olive games, including
the Wallace affair.
When Carlton was a senior, Wallace really handled
Mount Olive. Mount Olive was supposed to have a pret
ty good team that year, and did. Harry Cooke was
among the players, and he was pretty good.
I recall a play in the game in which three of the
Mount Olve players went in to tackle Carlton as he
ran the sidelines. He ran high and hard and was diffi
cult to bring down. On this particular play, he ran over
all three Mount Olive woudl-be tacklers like a steam
roller and into pay-dirt, which was still 25 yards away.
Last week, he was voted the outstanding player in
the ACC for his playing against Virginia for the Duke
Blue Devls.
It is good to hear of local boys making good, es
pecially on a national powerhouse.
At Duke, Carlton has worked hard. All reports
from Duke indicate that he is respected and liked by all
the players. They know he is the key to a great future
for the Duke Team.
Since Ace Parker has been backfield coach at Duke
he has had $ome great backs. But, he says Carlton has
the potential of being the greatest back he Yips ever
coached. .That is probably the biggest compliment a
coach can pay a player.
. He. has set a new scoring mark for the ACC in
ference ''..With, his 26( points against Duke. That is liMy -to
stand a long time, unless he breaks his own record. "

and talented football player, and a native of Duplin and
WalUce, Wray Carlton;, '
animals) gluing them to the animals
skin at the edge of Jhe wound or
to any scab on the wound. Each
mass contains about 200 eggs. "
The eggs hatch in 12 to 24 hours,
and the young larvae invade the
wound, feeding close together and
forming p 3ckets in the flesh. They
feed with the pointed end, or head,
downward and the rear exposed -for
breathing.
Ramseur says that farmers can
prevent the spread of screw-worm
in their cattle and hogs by keeping a
close check on them. Many times an
animal will receive a scratch around
fences or going through gates and
it will go unnoticed. This is where
the trouble starts, especially during
a year in which the infestation is
rising,' Ramseur said .
The outbreak in Eastern North
Carolina usually occurs during to
bacco season. Farmers usually will
let their cattle go unnoticed longer
during the summer, 'but that is the
time when infestation is most like
ly to begin in this area,' Ramseur
said.
A screw-worm infestation will al
ways injure the animal, and may
kill it. It is 'very important' to pre
vent such infestations.
In a bulletin released by the U.
