ON WEST FRONT
Especial to the Starr

WITH THE EIGHTH 1NFAN'
TRY DIVISION IN FRANCE, Dec.
3.-Staff Sergeant Earl F. Padgett,
of Watha, N. c., now serving with
medical detachment, somewhere
on the Western Front, has recently
been awarded the Bronze Star
medal for heroic service in con-
nection& Mith military operations
against 4he enemy in France.
His citation reads: while Pad
gett was attending wounded at the
aid station, the enemy laid down a
terrific artillery barrage, placing
all in the station in grave danger.
Without regard for his own safety,
he carried four seriously wounded
men to places of safety, and then
returned in the face of enemy fire
to continue treating other wounded
men. His heroic devotion to duty
is in accordance with the highest
traditions of the military service. "
Padgett entered the Army March
6, 1914, and was sent to Fort
Bragg, N. C. Later he was as
signed to the Medical detachment
of the 121st Infantry and has been
with it ever since. At present, his
duties are that of a surgical tech
nician. He is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. E. Padgett, of Watha.

WITH THE SECOND ARMOR.
ED DIVISION IN GERMANY,
Nov. 2S.-(Delayed)- lR Many
CTS and officers of this veteran
division believe Germany's new
Royal or king" Tiger tank
with its Super 88" gun is the best
tank in battle today.
"Our Shermans are all right in
their class, but they are out-class-
ed" is the way the men put it.
Next in the enemy's ar.nory
they rank the regular Tiger and
the Panther. Some believe the
Panther is the best all-around
tank of the bunch.
At least % Royal Tigers have
been knocked out on this front,
but the men who did it say it is a
question of a lucky shot or SIM
ply overwhelming them with 9TH
er tanks or tank destroyers.
The new Royal Tiger weighs
between 81 and u tons, has top
speed of about 20 miles an hour,
and it's six inches of armor in
front will turn American IS and
76-mm shells at ordinary dis
tances. Armor on the side is two

three to four inches thick.

Spending a week visiting among
the farmers Of Eastern Carolina
leads one to the conclusion that
there is a trend to better farm
ing methods throughout this terri
tory. Jones county, for instance
is one of the smallest in the eastern
section and is strictly agricultural,
having no town of any size within
its borders, with Kinston pulling
l. one way and New Bern the 9TH
er.
Hogs and chickens are the two
forms of livestock most popular
here although there are some ex-
cellent pastures on which Craze fine
herds of beef animals.
Little dairying is done except
for family COWS. There are 1900
farms which average only 80 acres
each in size. In all, these farms
furnish $4,000 acres of open crop
land and of this area $4,000 acres
are in corn. This will explain why
the growers are interested in hogs
as the principal form of livestock.
I'll e finished animals are marketed
through the five-county coopera
tive association at New Bern and
the growers say this method of
marketing has meant the best pos
sible income from their animals.
Jack Kelly. farm agent in Jones,
believes that probably the best
farmer in his county is John Will
liams Mills, Negro, now advanc-
ed in years but who owns 700 acres
Of good land near Richards with
300 acres open and in cultivation.
Mills made $3.50 one season as a
share cropper when he first began
to farm. With this small sum, he
began to farm on his own account
ard as a result of his experience,
he says there is still an opportunity
for any person, white or black, who
las the will 10 work and knows
how to save and manage. Mills
grows about 100 acres of corn each
year and fer years, while he was
paying for his land, he kept II
brood sows. His corn was market
ed through the pigs and he devel'
oped quite market in this Pied
mont section of the State among
those who wanted to buy pig te
fatten for home supply OF meat

sweet potatoes in big way. George
Jarvis, for instance, grew l4O acres
of the sweets this year. He ane
his associates have built a moderr
storage house with a capac!ty o:
J 80, 900 bushels furnished with {
The Wilmington morning star., 1944-12-04

blower system that carries the heat
evenly over the eight rooms into
which the house is divided. Mr..
Jarvis has been growing sweets for
about Is years with much of his
operations down in Pamlico coun-
ty before moving to Jones three
years ago. 1--WE grow the Louisiana
strain of Porto Rico potatoes and
srow nothing but potatoes, Mr..
Jarvis said. ''Our crop is fertilized
with about 1000 pounds per acre of
a 3-39 fertilizer to which we add
from 20 to Is pounds of borax per
acre to prevent growth cracks. We
save seed enough to provide our
own slips and sell seedstock all
over this section.''
In Carteret county, Raymond and
George Ball furnish an excellent
example of the progressive types
Of farming to be found in that
coastal county. When these two
men moved into the Newport sec
ton many years ago, they cut
their farm ont of almost virgin
timber. They had such hard time
getting Il start ard paying for their
land thai they have never yet seen
fit to break UP their partnership
and all the land is owned jointly
They have one bank account and
thev cultivate IT'S acres of as fer
tile ground as can be found in the
east. They are truck farmers and
ere rated as an1cng the best in the
section. Some years ago when the
Progressive Farmer was hunting
for Master Farm Families in the
State, these two were nominated by
their neighbors and won easily. %

JAPS NEED. MUNITIONS
Premier Warns That Situa-
ton Warrants No Optimism
BY The Associated Press

Japanese munitions makers were
warned today by Premier Kuniaki
Koiso that the condition of the en-
rire's fighting power, so far as war
materials are concerned, does mot
permit any optimism whatsoever. ;"
Radio Tokyo, in domestic
broadcast picked up by the Federal
Communications Commission, quot
ed the head of the Nippon govern
nlent as saying that an increase in
the materials with which to wage
war is ''the most urgent of our
National policies today"
The premier, addressing govern
ment munitions superintendent,
said "there should be no reason for
pessimism so long as we fight with
noble fighting tactics and put
superior plans into action"

Maxi Royal Tiger Tank
Rated Better Than u. s.

88-mm. with a shell almost a foot
longer than any previously used.
It's velocity is higher than any
thing the Americans are using
against it. Smokeless powder
makes it hard to detect.
The new Tiger has faster tur-
ret than the old hand-operated
Tigers. 1t has 34inch wide treads,
which spread the great weight
over a larger area. Officers tell
Of seeing the tracks of the Tiger
cross those of the Sherman on
Doggy fields and the Sherman's
sinking in six inches deeper.
The barrel of the 88 is over q
feet long. 1t is used chiefly in
defensive positions and the Ger
mans dig in around towns, keep
the tank well ca-nouflaged, and
wait until the advancing Ameri-
cans are within 500 yards before
opening up.
The Tigers most vulnerable
place is on top, where there is
only about a half inch of armor.
A direct hit with high explo-
sive shell knocks them out, but
the chance of scoring such nit
on a moving tank with artillery
is small.
