FARMERS in AREA
DIVERSITY CROPS
Wallace Growers Don't Be-
keve In Putting All Eggs
In One Basket

WALLACE, Oct. 12-The farm
ers of the Wallace area long ago
decided it was smart not to put
all their eggs in one basket.
The result of this decision
made the area. which includes
all of Duplin and Fender Coun-
ties and parts Of Onslow, Samp-
son, Lenoir, New Hanover,
Brunswick, Columbus and Bla-
den, one of the most highly di-
versified agricultural sections in
the entire world.
More Than Tobacco
While strawberries and tobac-
co may be considered the two
big items of farm products that
find a ready and profitable sales
outlet here in Wallace, these are
by no means all.
Through the Wallace Straw
berry Exchange the farmers OF
this section sell beans, corn,
squash, cucumbers, peppers,
huckleberries, Irish and sweet
potatoes, okra, canteloupes, egg
plants, and practically every
thing else the good earth around
here grows.
Plenty OF Beans
During the season, which runs
from early Spring until late
June, the Exchange marked up
the following box score for pro-
duee sold: 107, 100 bushels of
beans; 1856, 366 boxed of corn of
from four to five dozen to the
box; 1888 bushels of squash;
59,112 bushels of cucumbers; 49,
1872 bushels of pepper; Alb crates
of huckleberries; l,131 bushels
of cranberry beans: 324 crates
of dewberries; 803 100-pcund
bags Of Irish potatoes; 1,434 bu-
shells of Lima beans; and 688
packages of various other pro-
ducts which included okra, can
teloupes, egg plants, and so on.
The above was for the 1871
season. Farmers of this section
received a total of $659, 089.58 fol
those products.
In 1916, they received
S632. 459. 70 for those products.

DC. Hospitals Shun c Conversion
ToPoper CUPS, Plates for Meals

Serving hospital patients their
meals from paper plates and cups
may be all right in California. but
local hospital officials say it wouldn t
work here.
The country's largest hospital,
which serves Los Angeles County,
reeently announced it expects to
save $4,000 in operating costs this
year by complete conversion of its
meal-tray service to paper cups and
plates.
Most of the saving, 1t is reported,
results from the elimination of dish
washers. Savings also will be ef-
fected by the eliminating of dish
washing equipment and broken
crockery, and a reduction in the
use of steam for cleaning dishes.
Advantages Cited.

A Garfield Hospital spokesman
suggests that the Los Angeles in
stitution, which serves an average
OF 3,184 patients daily. can buy
paper containers in sufficiently large
quantities to save money, but local
hospitals could not.
Garfield is one of the few local
hospitals to use paper cups to serve
patients on special diets. The aim
is to reduce the work of dishwash-
ers, it is explained. Some hospitals,
like Emergency, use paper cups and
