REPORTS
BIG CROP LOSSES
County Agent Says Value
OF Produce Will Not
Pass $250,000

R. W. Galphin, county farm
reported yesterday that New
Hanover truck farmers took an
financial loss on most crops
in the county this year.
Figures Way Off
According to figures released by
the State department of agriculture
in 1914, New Hanover vas accredit-
ed with 81, 1875, 900 in truck crops
and according to observations
made by Galphin the estimates for
the value of this years production
will scarcely reach $3.50, 900.
Rains Ruinous
In addition to the losses already
sustained, Ga1phin pointed out that
fall crops should be planted by
now and no later than Aug. 20
However, with water standing or
many fields as a result OF the heavy
rains last month and so far If
August, the ground cannot be pre-
pared for planting in time to NEE
the fall weather deadlne. Further
rains would prove a stumbling
block in the way of further planting
of fall crops, already far behind
schedule, he added.
Beans and cold storage potato
seed may be planted until Aug. q
and for a short time after, how
ever for best results other trucl
crops should already be in the
ground, the agent said. Crops d.
not develop in the fall in quite the
same was as the spring, he re
minded. Cooler nights come or
more rapidly causing frost ane
resultant crop losses.
Highlight of this years losse:
occurred to the lettuce crop. les:
than half of which reached the
market resulting in the destruction
Of the remainder in the field. The
loss to the farmer on this one croI
alone amounted to a quarter of {
million dollars. Lettuce is the

Telephone Terror
AS the British started censoring
telephone conversations to stop a
nervewracking wave of telephone
terror" more than 300 new refu-
gees arrived at Haifa. They will
soon be bound for Cyprus.
The new group of illegal immi-
grants, including 81 pregnant wom-
en-, came in on the 300-ton motor
schooner Twenty Three" named
by % Jewish commands who lost
their lives while fighting with the
British in a raid against Vichy-
governed Syria in 1941.
The newly arrived immigrants,
along with Sis who arrived Wednes-
day on the Katrial Yaffa. were to
be deported to Cyprus as soon as
the two British transports Empire
Rival and Empire Haywood return
from that newly designated intern.
ment island.
Dispatches from Cyprus said the
two ships began unloading their
first loads of deportees early
Thursday and probably could re
turn for more before the week is
over.
Conditions Dreadful
Witnesses said conditions aboard
the Twenty Three were dread

tives were not permitted to talk to

Censorship on phone lines was
established last night after an

center Of telephone and telegraph
services, would be blown up.
The censorship failed to halt a
second hasty exodus from the
building by hundreds of workers
at noon Thursday when another
call warned again Of al impend-
ing explosion.
Search For Explosives
Employees scrambled hurriedly
from the building and stayed away
for three hours while police and
troops searched for explosives.
Many refused to return to the build
ing eve when they assured
no explosives had been found.
The exodus %paralyzed local and
long-distance telephone circuits
and halted service on telegraph
circuits. A similar warning We'd
nesday emptied the municipal
building.
CThe exchange telegraph agency
reported that Barclays bank
building in Jerusalem also had
received warning on an impend-
ing explosion and had been evacu-
ated.)
The Telephone terror" began
shortly after explosives planted in
the King David hotel destroyed

Sions have terrified workers in

fo- deepening the Cape Fear river
at Wilmington, North Carolina, ana
trust that in doing SO I do not
trespass upon your patience.
For many reasons well known
to you, commercial shipping along
the Atlantic coast had to be aban-
doned during the war and part.c-
ularly during the submarine a
fare that was SO intense along the
coast Of our State. Because a con-
voy was provided no further south
than Norfolk and no further north
than Charleston, Wilmington also
became isolated SO far as war
shipping was concerned. Inevitably
all port facilities including the
harbor and channel to the sea
greatly deteriorated during this
period Of enforced inactivity. The
port is certainly a war casualty
to a large extent.
Need More Depth
Il am reliably informed that
many semi-war type ships now be-
ing converted for commercial use
draw a greater depth of water
than those formerly plying the
coasts'ise trade and will be un-
able to enter the port of Whining
ton unless the harbor and channel
are deepened to the extent now
provided by act Of Congress.
For too long the considerable
sea-bourn commerce of North
Carolina has moved too largely
through the ports of Norfolk, Va,
and Charleston, S. c., despite the
unusually long coast line of our
own state. Recognizing this our
Legislature has authorized a State
Port Authority that is now striving
diligently to establish ports and
port facilities in keeping with our
needs. The port of Wilmington is
necessarily an important factor in
this statewide movement, which
must be delayed to an unfortunate
extent unless the urgently neces-
sary deepening of the harbor and
enamel at this point may proceed,
and do not think it is going too
Tar TO express the hope of the en-
.lfe state that delay on this project
may not be necessary"
