OLD TIME MELON TRADE
ON WATERFRONT WAVES
Motor Trucks Have Also Shot This
Once Profitable Business to

The watermelon trade on the

there wasn't anything else in parti-

But the motor truck and good

delivers them.
SO the boats aren't doing much

WOULD GIVE us
FINEST FISHING

And Ed. johnson of Currituck
Sees A New Way to Get
Thousands in Taxes

A new source of income for
Currituck County, that would
yield tens of thousands of dol
lars annually in few years, in
the opinion of E. R. Johnson of
Currituck Courthouse. could be
provided by damming numer-
Gus ponds and creeks in the
county to develop the greatest
sports fishing paradise in the
entire South.
For several years Mr.. Johnson
has represented Currituck in the
General Assembly and is we'll in
formed on game matters by reason
of having given his principal at
tentiOn to game legislation. He in
trOduced the bills that gave Cur
rituck its splendid game protective
measures of today. Knowing fish
ermen. and hunters every where.
Mr.. Johnson knows what appeals
to them.
"Currituck Sound, according to a
recent Government bulletin and
Back Bay. Virginia, are the natural
habitat Of the black bass" Mr..
johnson says 'I0ut waters are
teeming with speckled perch. These
are snappy fighting fish that make
it interesting for sportsmen. and
for every man who comes to hunt
wildfowl. we'd have a dozen to
come fishing. The taxes for fish
ing privileges would soon mount to
real money.
But a lot of our fish leave us.
They make their way out of the
sounds into other waterways. but
many are killed and hindered in
growth by the inflow Of salt water.
If we would dam up some of the
thousands of creeks in the county,
and create a place into, which no
salt water could come we could
produce all the fish we'd ever want.
and we'd keep them ut home.
"The Feasibility OF this has been
demonstrated ON the hunting pre-
serve Of Mr.. Joseph p. Knapp, who
dyked in about 80 acres for a duck
pound. During the past season he
went to the pond to scatter duck
food, and the bass ate the food as
fast as he got it to the water. With
hook and line he caught more
than 80 as fast as he could take
them in. .-
"A black bass will grow to one
or one and a quarter pounds In
weight in a year. We've got hun
dreds Of creeks and ponds and bays,
it wouldn't cost much to build dikes
and dams to keep salt walter out
and keep the fish in. For every
duck hunter there are 800 people
who want to fish. and now that our
roads connect lis with every part of
the state we are beginning to at

Miss Sallie Tomlinson, city

Tomlinson was so touched that she
persuaded the Womap's Club Of
Fayetteville to send Miss ONeal
$40 for the Hatteras school and
then proceeded to interest other
clubs and civic bodies in helping
