a world not fully organized for
peace, which will be most difficult.
"This country a get along in
the existing circumstances only by
way of being armed to the teeth.
We must have a mighty army and
mighty navy and a mighty air
force, and a mighty industrial and
agricultural capacity, and every
thing in ornaments that will give
US superiority. The way to peace
for America in such a world is by
way of being so strong that we will
be able to beat down into the dust
of ruin any nation that attacks us
= just as we beat down Germany
and Japan.
Decried Ties
81 do not think we should tie
ourselves up with the destiny Of
the United Kingdom of Great Brit
ain. We should be as friendly as
possible with every nation, but
should act only in our W self
interest. We cannot fight her Great
BRITAIN battles, nor can we afford
to make her foreign policy ours.
We must have our own foreign
policy - the policy of being strong,
firm and peaceful, and of getting
into no controversy except in clear
defense of our own country"
Galley concluded that 'before the
Wal our country had run a deficit
of about three billion dollars every
year since 1882. No country has
ever spent the earnings and the
substance of its people as this
country has without running itself
and its inhabitants. The war ex-
penditures we're necessary, but
there is absolutely no excuse for
the extravagant civilian expendi-
ture during the period in which !

be elected to the House or the Sen
ate until he has pledged that he
will reduce expenditures and bal
ance our budget and keep it bal

ness and be able to perform the

would be.

New Jersey Farmer Starts
omatoFarmmBrunswick
Is Acres To Be Planted On
Site Near Waldens
Creek
BY BILL KEZIAN
Star CORRESPONDENT

SOUTHPORT, Feb. 16-NoW busy
preparing the land, E. H. Shep-
pard of Shiloh, N. j., stated today
that he would get Is acres sown
in seed for tomato plants by the
25th of March. Mr. Sheppard owns
four large tomato farms in New
New Jersey and the locally grown
plants will be for his own farms
and the surplus will go to E.
Pritchard & Company, a New Jer-
sey canning corporation.
An acre sown for plants produces
about one hundred thousand
plants. MI. Shepard has been grow
ing his plants in Georgia for many
years and he stated that he looked
Upon Brunswick county with its an
nual mean temperature of 63.4 as
being ideal for growing tomatoes
and other plants for northern and
eastern growers.
81 have always wanted to be
able tc grow my plants where I
could pull them n day and set
them out in my fields the next"
Mr.. Sheppard said. Shiloh is 100
miles nearer Southport than New
York. Your heavily loaded shrimp
trucks make it to New York in
about 20 hours and my plant
trucks can certainly make it to
Shiloh in less time than that"
About IS workers will be re-
quired to pull the plants for the
daily truck loads. Such workers
can easily be obtained from
among the shrimp workers in
Southport. They have little to do
in the spring. The plants will be
grown on the former Wallace
Moore farm On the River Road
near Waldens creek.
Other Plant Planters
Delaware tomato and other
plant growers have leased 125
acres of land at Calkins Neck, be-
low Shallotte. It is understood that
they will sow this entire acreage
in seed for tomato plants this
spring.
This acreage, five times as large
as the plant farm near Southport,
should produce between twelve and
fifteen million plants, and that is
a right good sized number, if any
body wants to know?
Seeking Burberry Land
In addition to the 200 acres of
land bought last summer by blue
berry interests from Iowa, Penn
sylvania and Delaware, for the
purposes Of growing blueberries,
several other New Jersey people
have recently been here seeking
land. for the same purpose.
Hard pan subsoils are required
for blueberries must be irrigated
in addition to being cultivated and
fertilized. It is more than possible
that this year will see a number
OF BURBERRY farms started in
Brunswick county.
Planting Of the BURBERRY bushes
on the farms between Southport
and Supply will start by the first
of March. Rains Of all last summer
and fall prevented the growers
from clearing and preparing more
than about 80 acres.
