Then the Jap shot the orderly
and the bullet entered at the neck

when the two camps mad been
built, local labor conditions would
improve but, right now, there
seems to be no end in sight," Ov-
erstreet says. On the smaller
farms, however, the owners and
their families have remained on
the job in commendable way.
Mr.. Overstreet held meetings in
each community early last spring
and the neighborhood leaders
made a careful study of the local
situation. Farm owners discuss
ed the outlook for labor and the
crops which could be planted and
harvested without loss. These
plans were followed throughout
the year and it was not unusual
to find a farmer working with
four or five of his neighbors in
exchange for the help which they,
in turn, gave him. Farm mach
inery and equipment also were
exchanged and this made it pos
sible for the women to sing their
songs of thanksgiving at the
Achievement Day exercises last
week.
Onslow poultry bids fair to be-
come as famous as Onslow hams
due to the great increase in poul-
try growing. The production OF
broilers and hens increased by
one-third in 1943 and jumped again
this year with the farmers brood
ing their chicks in outbuildings,
tobacco barns, old tenant houses,
as well as in modern brooder
houses. There was a problem in
obtaining the right kind of feed
and many were able to get only
weeks supply at time. Even
so the growers produced more
eggs, broilers and fryers than ever
before and there was ready and
eager market for all that could
be grown.
Onslow is one Of the old coun-
ties of the state formed from Bath
in 1874. It covers an area of
some $4,000 acres and is one OF
the most heavily timbered areas
in the South. Now it is becomin g
necessary for the landowners to
think about conserving their tim
Der as wartime needs have dug
heavily into the standing reserves.
The soil is fertile and the people
know how to farm although they
seem somewhat bewildered at
what has happened to the good
old life as they knew it,
