BRUNSWICK CROPS
APPROACH NORMAL
Corn And Tobacco Report
. ed Improved During
Past Ten Days
Special to the Star

SOUTHPORT, June II - The
condition of Brunswick county
crops has been decidedly on the up
and up for the past ten days.
Where the first of the month found
them two to three weeks behind
normal for that period Of the year,
they are now approaching normal
in most cases. So Ear as good pro-
duction goes, the farmers have
little to worry about, they say.
The corn crop is especially good
this year and the acreage is large.
Many fields have already been
laid by. However a lot of corn
growers prefer to continue cultlva-
tion as long as possible in order
that the crop may mature without
being surrounded by too much
weed and grass growth.
Tobacco cropping and curing
has started in fields here and
there, but his work will not be
general until the first of July.
Along with early fields most grow
ers have patches of late stuff that
has to catch ZIP.
The hog crop is much larger
than at any time in the past half
dozen years. Along with a greatly
increased number Of hogs feed
will be much more available and
the counterpart of many a pig
that was slaughtered during past
winters and falls will grow into
full sized hogs this year.
