AREA FERTILIZER
OUTLOOK BETTER
Local Manufacturers Say
Situation Expected To
Improve Shortly

While Wilmington fertilizer manu-
facturers last night were agreed
that there definitely is a fertilizer
shortage, farmers OF this area
may expect more than two-thirds
of their normal needs.
Despite a prediction by Presi-
dental Assistant John R. Steel
man from Washington that a Sc
rious regional shortage already has
begun to appear" the manufactur-
ers here said that an expected ship
ment of nitrate of soda from Chill
within the next three weeks would
"help the situation greatly"
They pointed out that the farm
ers would not be able to get all
the fertilizer they may want, but
that no one would suffer and I'VE
will be able to furnish each one
enough to get by on
The picture is further frightened,
they said, by the Maritime Com
missions announcement that 15
ships will be at sea by the end OF
this week to transport nitrate OF
soda, the chief shortage component
of fertilizer.
The soda which these ships can
bring in will be supplemented by
the return by the army OF some
80 900 tons which were borrowed
from the domestic supply for the
East and European countries.
Thomas H. Wright, president OF
the Acme Fertilizer Co. here. said

Along The Cape Fear

DUPL1N OVERSIGHT - One
kind reader called to inquire why
we failed to list the lone casualty
among the Patriots at the Battle
of Moores Creek.
We just had to confess that it
was an oversight, on our part, for
which we are deeply sorry.
History tells us that the hero
who lost his life in the decisive
battle fought during the American
Revolutionary War near Currie
was John Grady of Duplin.
Now it must remain for some
historian of our neighboring coun-
ty to tell us more about this Revo-
lutionary hero, as we have been
unable to unearth any details.
STRONG ADVOCATE - It was
our good fortune not so long ago to
have the pleasure of meeting Mr..
Lindsey Russell, native Whining
tonian who after a brilliant law
career in New York has returned
to the Port City following his re-
tirement from active practice.
Mr.. Russell now resides at
Greenville Sound.

COUNTY LEADS IN
SCHOOL EXPENSES
Figures For 1946-47 Fiscal
Year Released By
State Board

Figures released yesterday by
the State Board of Education re-
vealed that New Hanover county
led all other southeastern counties
in the state in money spent in the
public school system.
According to the figures, the
county spent 1894, 39o.95 during the
current l946-47 school year, while
the state added total of $663, ,802.
40 for a grand total of 81, 048, 1885.
The education boards report
showed that as a whole the state
and counties spent $53, 1854, 1852. 2s
during the school year.
The report said that the figures
concerned primarily with teacher
salaries, school bus operation,
books and similar needs.
Maintenance OF plants, construc-
ton and upkeep of buildings, build
ing insurance and debt service, do
not figure into the report since
these expenses are carried by the
local units without state aid, the
report said.
Other counties of southeastern
North Carolina spent the follow
ing, in addition to state aid as
indicated:

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Feb. 23.-
P)-His youthful, stormy romance
with Evelyn Nesbit, his only Wl1e'

former showgirl for whom ne shot
Stanford White was unnamed To-Day

Miss Nesbit reported was en-
route to her New York city apart
ment after being in seclusion IN
Atlantic City. Friends there report
ed that she was 'not too upset
by Thaw's death and did not plan
to attend the funeral Miss Nesblt' S
friends said Russell was residing
in San Francisco and has three
children.
Thaw's attorney, Sidney Werner,
said no word had been received
from here.
Werner gave only two names as
close survivors of the man whose
activities were a sensation half a
century ago. They were Mrs. G. G..
Whitney, sister, of Milton, Mass,
and Lawrence Thaw, a nephew, OF
Connecticut. No other address was

CROP
IN DUPLN SHORT
Growers Throughout Coun-
tyFighting Serious Red
Spider Outbreak
Special to the Star

KENANSVILLE, Feb. % -
Duplin county's 1947 strawberry
crop may be reduced as much as
25 per cent, possibly more, be-
cause of a serious red spider out
break and other factors which have
combined to damage the plants.
Growers have been attacking the
red spiders for some six weeks
with an insecticidaf dust, accord
ing to Farm Agent L. F. Weeks,
who described the results as fair
ly successful.
However, material damage
among the plants is evident from
the ravages already caused by the
minute spiders-which are barely
visible to the naked eye-and also
from the effects of unusually cold
weather.
In addition, some plants show
injury which came about through
the application Of fertilizer, said
Agent Weeks in reporting the es-
timated Is per cent damage to
the seasons crop.
The spiders attack the under-slde
of plant leaves, doing their damage
there, and the effects of their
presence has been noted in the
strawberry fields during the fall
and winter months.
Normally, Duplin county's straw
berry crop is perhaps the largest
of any county in the state.
This year, however, only about
500 acres have been planted to
strawberries, a result of continu-
ing labor shortages. Five or six
years ago, Weeks recalled, twice
as much acreage was under cul-
tivation.
Duplin producers are growing
two principal strawberry varieties,
the Blakemore and the Massey,
with a limited quantity of the
Missionary variety being grown.
This years crop is expected to
produce the Blakemore and Mas
sew varieties IN about even volume,
with All average yield of 80 to 100
crates of berries per acre expect
ed on the basis of production rec
ords covering a period of years.
