BRUNSWICK WOMEN
WILL CAN PRODUCE
Preparations for Gardens and
Field Crops Are Under
Way in County

SOUTHPORT, Feb. 10 Bruns-
wick county farm women will have
their demonstration activities con-
centrated on the preservation of
foodstuffs this year, according to
Mrs. Marion S. Dosher, who is in
charge of the Home Demonstra-
ton Work.
With spring coming earlier here
on the lower North Carolina coast,
than elsewhere in the state, such
work can usually be put into ac-
tual practice while the rest of
the state is still planning. Such is
the case this year, preparation OF
gardens is already well under way,
as r some preparations for field
truck crops. Much actual plant
ing will be done during the pres
ent month.
Mrs. Dosher is not alone among
the Brunswick county workers
who are advocating the getting
away from the cash crop ideas
this year. County Agent J. E. Dod-
son recently said that the farmers
were preparing to go more extern
sively into raising feed and hay
crops. Diversified farming appears
TO be the idea of the day in Bruins
wick county and both soil and eli.
mate lends itself admirably to
such climate. There are areas in
Brunswick county that will grow
any sort of foodstuff and having
production capacities that more
than justify farmers into turning
to food crops, when conditions call
for such.
Indications are that quite a num-
Der of tobacco growers will pur-
posely refrain from planting the
full quota of tobacco that is al
lowed them under the AAA, They
will take this course partly be-
cause of expected labor shortage
and partly because it appears to
be the wise thing to devote more
attention to foodstuffs this year.
