REASON - The reason for the
almost tropical climate on Smith
Island has been given by many
as the Gulf stream.
This well-known current OF
warm water, flowing through the
ocean, swings in closer to the
shore at Smith Island latitude and
causes the climate there to be a
little warmer than in other parts
Of the coast.
Not much warmer, it will be
noted, but just the few degrees
each year that r needed to keep
the palms alive.
GOOD CROPS-This warm eli
mate, which is almost character
istic of New Hanover, is good for
a variety of crops.
Back in 1898 W. B. Canady OF
SCOTS Hill raised 40 bushels Of
Spanish peanuts on one acre Of
land. From his cantaloupes plant
ed on just half an acre he re-
ceived $145.
j. F. Foy, from his first plant
of strawberries in 1892, OBJ aimed
net returns of $125 for M malt
an acre.
Still another truck farmer, max
ing use of the climate, sold $234.2e
worth of Strawberries in 1885,
from half an acre.

STRANGE THINGS - The Cape

nant with mysteries and odd
items.
This time Smiths Island, near
Southport, offers a bit of natural
wonder.
It has been called the best Their
mometer by which n may read
the temperature of a section be-
cause of the vegetation there.
The island, just Is miles south
Of Wilmington in the Cape Fear,
is known to biologists as the Cit
tie spot of Florida in North Caro-
Ira" because Of the palmettos
there.
PALMS-These palms or Smith
Island grow tall and stately as
they do in Florida. Of course they
grow in New Hanover and in some
instances as far as 10 miles above
Wilmington but hey are not tall
and stately as their neighbors to
the south.
Another natural oddly is a type
of palm tree on the island.
According to reports this parti-
cular palm will grow nowhere else
this far north but on Smith Island.
Once removed from the Island
it has a difficult time securing
nourishment from the soil.
