Columbus County TO Get
Tobacco Research Farm

STATE COLLEGE STATION,
RALEIGH: The North Carolina
Agricultural Experiment Station
has completed arrangements for
establishing a new tobacco re-
search farm in Columbus county
near Whiteville, DR.. R. w. Cum
mings, associate director of the
Station announced today. Tobac-
co plant beds on the farm have
already been treated for weed
control-the first step in assuring
full research program during
the coming season.
The farm chosen was leased
from Billy Hooks and is located
six miles northeast of Whiteville
on Highway TOT N. DR.. w. E. Col
well, in charge of the tobacco re-
search program, explains that the
Hooks farm has soils and grow
ing conditions representative Of
those in the tobacco-growing sec
tons of Columbus, Robson, and
Bladen counties.
Specialists from State College,
under the leadership of w. D. Lee,
made extensive soil studies at sew
eral locations proposed for the
farm" DR.. Colwell explains. ''The
Hooks farm was judged to be
best adapted to the needs OF our
tobacco research program in the
Border Belt region"
Cecil G. Smith. 4 ls4s sradu.
ate Of State College. has bssn
named as the active supervisor
of the farm. Smith. who has
spent the past six months at
the Oxford Station is training
for the assignment. viii make
his home in Whiteville. He will
work in collaboration with the
technical staff in Raleigh and
Oxford. A tenant. w. 7. Grims-
ley. has already been hired and
located on the farm.
The immediate work at the
Whiteville farm will emphasize
variety testing, DR.. Colwell de-
clares. Particular attention will be
paid to a study of the varieties
resistant to fusarium wilt. Since
black shank and Granville wilt
are also found in that area, work
ers will be looking for varieties
with combination resistance to all
three of these main tobacco dis
eases.
DR.. Colwell says that fertiliza-
ton studies with view Of i'm
proving the quality OF tobacco
are planned. The work will also
involve studies in land manage
ment, particularly crop rotations,
spacing, topping, suckering and
insect control.
The Whiteville farm is not in
tended to be another Oxford. DR..
Colwell says that the farm will
probably remain small, since its
purpose is to provide location
typical of the Border Belt area.
Two similar farms, one located
near Greenville in Pitt county.
and another near Rural Hall in
Forsyth county, were put into op-
Grafton a wear ago.

Have you ever seen the eyes of a cat at night
with light reflected in their glassy stare?
And the eyes of this tabby-thers is an eerie
quality in them, something hypnotic and almost
without life:
Yet these are the eyes of . living creature, the
eyes of an animal that sleeps and eats and walks
and runs.
What then is the mystery Of cat eyes? What do
these eyes lack that would give them softness,
kindness, and radiance?
IMMORTALITY is the answer-for a cat has
no soul.
A cat has nothing of the spiritual, which in man
makes him the unique being among Gods creatures
Man has little something of the Divine in him
the immortal soul And to develop this soul is che
of the greatest responsibilities have in life.
With the help of Gods Holy Word and through
the guidance of the Church, man 10 able to ADD
new lustre to- his life, lustre that shines IN his
ewes and mirrors the soul within.

Gil.
It was reported that the council
has already been successful in OBJ
tanning four new industries for the
state, the latest acquisition being
the Belber Trunk and Bag Com
pany who purchased a building
containing $4,000 square feet from
the Wilson Cabinet Company in
Smyrna. This concern will employ
200 persons in the production of
hand luggage and their employ
ment has almost reached this fig-

cult. Last winter both teams were
in the thick of the Mar-Del PEN
nant chase with Milford finishing
fourth and Harrington close behind.
Milford won season series from
Harrington in 1947-48 and again
IN 194s-49, but dropped last years
series, two games to one, to the
Legionnaires.
With the organization of the ALI
Delaware League, Milford and Har-
rington, along with the Smyrna
Hornets and the Dover Bulldogs,
moved over to the new circuit,
where they were joined by strong
clubs from RehobOth, Lewes and
Milton. With the possible excep-
ton of the Georgetown County
seaters, the All-Delaware League
now includes all of lower Della
wares most outstanding teams.
Familiar faces will be missing
from both lineups Monday evening,
Milford having lost Leo Marshall,
Lloyd Elton and Johnny Williams
from last years team, while Walt
Harwanko, Walt Hatz and Jimmy
Giles, three outstanding players
from Wilmington, are missing from
the Harrington lineup. Marshall
broke virtually all Mar-Del League
scoring records with the Vets last
season, but is ineligible for the
All-Delaware League, which for
bids importation of players from
areas north of the c. and d. Canal.
Despite the departure of some of
last years outstanding players, both
the Milford and Harrington teams
promise to offer strong arrays this
season, each having a nucleus of
''holdOvers" around which the new
] teams are being built. The 1949-5O
4 Harrington club is being built
around veterans, Drexal Orendorf,
Ted Layton and Hayward Quillen,
and will include several promising
newcomers.
Back for another year with the
Milford Vets are Lorraine wilkins
Charlie Salmon, Dick BartO, IrV
Bowls, Norman Warren, Harvey
! Williams and Chuck Hammond \ OF
! last years squad. Supplementing
this group and making strong bids
for starting berths are Dick EN-
ory, former Milford High star, who
has returned to civilian life and
Milford after doing a hitch with
the U. S. Navy, and Bob Davies, a
resident of nearby Glendale, and
a former outstanding collegiate
player. Ed. Burlingame and Paul
McKnatt, two other newcomers
round out the Vets squad. Gene
Murphy, who turned in a credit
able performance as Vets coach
last season, is again at the Milford
helm and is drilling his charges
hard for Mondays opener.
The opposition for the Blue Hens
has not, as yet, been announced
but it is assumed that a nOn-leaguC
opponent will be met, inasmuch as
other teams in the newly organized
All-Delaware Girls League, are no
available Monday. The Blue Hens
competed in the Mar-Del Girls
League last winter, easily winning
titular hOnOrs, and then went Oh
to win peninsular girls champion
ship honor by defeating the Laure
Owlettes in a post-season titula

M Del Wheat
Is Developed
For Delaware
P erfectly Adapted To
States Sandy Soils, It
Has Taken 20 Years To
DevelOpe.

As far back as 1890, Delaware
farmers noticed that none Of the
varieties of wheat they were grow
Ing was perfectly adapted to this
states sandy soils II was in that
year that six representatives Of the
Delaware Agricultural Experiment
Station visited over 700 farms In
Kent and Sussex. County selected
the best looking heads Of wheat
they could find.
They found 5,726 different heads,
and planted each separately the fol-
lowing year. Then as each harvest
came and went they discarded the
poorer Wheats, saving only the
best Finally, in 1947, head num-
Der 5,668 was selected as best Of
them ALL
According to Claude r.. Phillips,
who was one of the six scientists,
and is now head Of the Agronomy
Department at the University Of
Delaware, farmers who had sup
piled the original heads of wheat
also told what varity they had,
what fertilizer was used, and what
was the average yield.
Most Of them, according to Phil
lips, did not know what variety
they were growing. In fact the
head that was finally chosen came
from the farm where its ancestors
had been growing for over 25 years.
The strain that was singled out
yielded more wheat per acre on
Delaware's sandy soils than any
of several other varieties on sim
liar test. The early testing was
done at Milford, but more recently,
the experiments were carried on at
the Georgetown sub-station Of the
main Experiment Station on the
University campus at Newark.
The greatest number Of wheat
plots at any one time was 12,5O0
These plots covered 61S acres, one
season. ALI of this since it was
experimental material, was hand
seeded. and hand harvested.
Two years age, when the final Sc
lection was made, the new variety
was named Nu Del, a wheat variety
especially for Delaware. It was re-
leased that year to several farm
ers for trial and increase in seed
In fact, all the wheat grown that
year was saved for seed.
Then in 1913, some farmers in
each county were given samples OF
Nu Del, and its population was
again increased. And all the seed
harvested from that crop was
further distributed last summer
so that now seed Of this new var.
iety will be available to farmers
throughout Delaware.
Besides Outyielding other var
ieties not as we'll adopted TO Oua
soil, M Del is more resistant Il
that most serious wheat disease il
Delaware-scab. In years wheI
scab is bad, Nu Del compares ever
more favOrably with such common
varities as Nittnay, and Thorne
a year ago, when fields planted tC
IhOrne wheat we're almost com
plete failures, because Of scab, Nu
Del was as good as ever.
This new white bearded wheat
may change the whole aspect OF
wheat production for Delaware
farmers. It's an example Of the
value to the man on the farm OF
scientific research at the Agricul-
tural Experiment Station.
