well" said Ramsauer, as soon
as he became aware that his in.
terviewer was trying to find out
something about small grain, eve
have IS acres in various sorts OF
small grain and are sowing lespe-
deza over the whole of it."
At three or four tons per acre, a
modest enough estimate for les
pedza in this section, the Atlantic
Coast Line man should have quite
a wad of hay when the shank OF
summer comes.
T. Needs Mother Crop
It may be well to state here for
the benefit of non farmers that
lespedeza is hay crop that needs
another crop to protect it in its
tender stages. 1t is usually sown
on top Of small grain about the
middle of February. The growing
grain protects the young plants
from the cold and later on from
the sun.
The grain is harvested with COM
bines. the straw being left Inc the
fields where it grew. This grain
straw decays rapidly and has vir-
tually disappeared from the scene
when the lespedeza is cut in August
or early September.
Following the cutting of the les
pedeza second growth of the
plant sets in. Some few farmers
also cut this second growth for
hay, but the county agent and
farmers who are Interested in the
upbuilding of their soil advise
against such a practice. They say
it is best to pillow under the sec
ond growth and thereby return
something to the soil.

CURRIE VINEYARDS
GREATLY DAMAGED
BY FLOOD WATERS

Most all fruit and grape vines in
the flooded sections are all dead
or partly dead. A few blooms are
seen on a struggling peach limb
here and there. Most all grapevines
are dead and in many instances
the arbors are down and some
washed away by flood waters.
This section is well adapted to
grape culture and fruit of any kind
does well and comes early around
the bends of the Cape Fear and
Black Rivers and the bays that
surround the sand hills.
It will require several years to
replace the damage done just alone
along this line besides the financial
loss. The women took great pride
in filling their jars with nice fruits
and when the grape market open
ed in the fall they made good with
the sale Of grapes.

SMALLER NATIONS

Brazil's Representative On
UNNRA Council Speaks
For Latin Americas

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., March
18.-(P)-The dominant position OF
the major world powers in inter-
national agencies was challenged
here Monday by two suggestions
made to the council meeting of the
United Nations Relief and Rehabili-
tation Administration.
UNRRA's director general, Her
bert H. Lehman, suggested that the
combined food board, through
which the worlds short food sup
plies are now allocated by only
three nations-the United States,
the United KKingdom and Canada
be enlarged.
Feonov Speaks
And N. I. Feonov, speaking for
the Soviet Union, asked that the
central committee of UNRRA,
which has authority to decide world
relief policies, be enlarged to take
in two of the smaller nations, Po-
land and Yugoslavia.
Sebastiao Sampaio, Brazips am"
bassador to Mexico, pointed out il
a long and somewhat emotional
address to the UNRRA council that
you have not one voice from all
of Latin America-20 nations-sit-
ting on the committee which must
decide the food problems of the
world.''
Debate Halted
In a surprise move Monday the
United States and the United King
dom, acting together, requested
and won vote to put over until
tomorrow debate on the admission
of Turkey and Albania, two smaller
powers, to membership in UNRRA.
The request was made by c. Tyler
Wood, acting chief Of the U. S.
delegation.

WHITEVILLE, March 18-"Its
like bad dream about which I
can't get the details straight" is
the way N. Hector Mcneil, son Of
DR.. and Mrs. George Mcneil,
Whiteville, describes the battle for
Two Jima. Mcneil had a front-line
seat for the first IL days of the
epic struggle.
1t was his first taste of combat
after a long trip from Hawai-.
He doesn't remember whether 1t
was the first wave he went in with
or not-he thinks it was-hoWever,
before he hit the beach, his land
ing tank was hit by Jap fire from
the slopes of Mt. Suribachi.
Struggle for Survival
From then on, it was a fierce
struggle for urvival. Combat on
Green beach, the one at the foot
of the mountain, where McNeill
outfit went in, was confined for
the first "a hours to a see-saW bat
tie for a single area.
MCNEIL was a pharmacists mate
"a combat medic-Who went in un-
armed and whose job it was to ad-
minister to the wounded.
Suicide Charge
He, with nine others hit the
beach in a landing tank within a
few hours after they had arrived
off shore from Two. For four or
five days, he kept up with the line
of battle administering plasma and
first aid to the wounded. On the
first night after landing, Jap
suicide charge headed straight for
their position, but Marines stopped
| it.
Sees Flag Raising
He saw the famous flag raising
on top of Mt. Suribchi. At the
time of this incident, he was about
one-fourth the distance up the
slopes of the mountain. For II
days he stayed on the island.
At Okinawa
Mcneil also saw action IN
Okinawa, and before he returned to
the States for a discharge he spent
some time in Japan. He is entitled
to wear the Asiatic-Pacific area

Ask CoodSportsmanship Instead
OF Height Basketball Thought
BY CHIEF doom

I have had several basketball
fans come to me and say how can
you stand by and see your team
criticized every time they win a
game, with some alibi.
/ want to say a few remarks
right now. If it keeps on being
like this / am afraid it is going to
hurt sports. Some other teams
would say, We'll, if we entered
the league and won they would
say the same things about us as
they did your team" So, people
ought to realize that when they
enter a league, they are going TO
meet teams much better or larger
or taller, if you would want it
worded like that.
would like to say that there
is as much glory in losing a game
as there is in winning. 1t is the
way you play the game. You
know before you enter game
both teams cannot win, some one
must lose.
So, why not say, May the best
team WIN, regardless of how you
are outclassed. For an example.
