NORTHERN DEMANDS
MAKE OYSTERS HIGH
More Than 300 Boats Operating
in PamlicO Sound; Packers
Payroll 500 Weekly

ENGELHARD. Oysters are
scarce, the demand is lively and
the price is correspondingly high,
Harry Jarvis, who packs the Chief
Engelhard oysters, said this week.
High prices up north boost the
price in this vicinity, for the buy
er must meet the competition. Mr..
Jarvis said oysters had been
bringing 50 to So tub and he
expected it to go to 1928.
Between 300 and $50 oyster
boats are operating in Pamlico
Sound, Jarvis estimated. Although
he has his own oyster beds, he is
buying all the oysters he packs.
at takes three years to grow an
OYSTER" he explained. ITO disturb
the beds now would be like cutting
down small trees before they are
ready for timber"
Pamlico Sound oysters are in
demand. Baltimore, for instance,
will pay more for them than for
Chesapeake Bay oysters.
At present Mr.. Jarvis has 65
working in his plant. The payroll
for those working four days a
week, shocking oysters, runs from
$500 to $1,000. He is, using build
ing erected last summer for this

plentiful this season than in any
year since 1914 when the graceful
and largest wildfowl of North Car
DINA coastal waters obtained abso-
lutte, and apparently all-time pro-
lection from hunters
Lawrence Perry, local sports
mans guide reports that he has
seen more swan this year in the
Kitty Hawk Bay region and other
nearby waters than he has ever
seen. "They are as thick as tad
poles" he says. Another bright an
gle to the picture is that Canada
geese are also plentiful this year
and usually where one sees swan
they also see geese.
1t takes a good marksman, at
times, to shoot into a flock of
geese without hitting a swan. And
once you kill swan, it means a
trip to Federal Court.
Sol Whitson of Duck believes
the swan are getting all the bot
tom food in the sounds today-es-
pecially in Currituck Sound.

ing has been in the fields over on
Currituck's mainland"
There are many old timers here
who saw the swan season closed in
1914 for a period of five years, and
extended thereafter until today.
"Now they ought to let hunters
kill one or two swan each season,
to help control the ever increas-
ing fiocks," said another old-timer
at Duck community in upper Dare
County.
There seems little likelihood
that this is going to happen
though and the swan seem to know
it. While feeding close to shore
they won't even fly when person
comes nearby. They know they
have protection.
The wildfowl crop this year
along the Dare, Currituck and
Hyde coasts this season seems to
be far above normal. That may be
p! on account of frigid weather Of
late in northern states, a condi-
ton that makes wildfowl come to
ice-free feeding grounds in the
sounds of North Carolina.
There is an abundance of all
kinds of duck, plenty of Canada
geese, too many swan in some
sectors and a few brant. The lat
ter may be hunter for short sea-
son beginning on November %
when the migratory wildfowl hunt
ing period begins in North Caro-
lima.

Senate Passes Bill
For rS1,634,OOO,OOO
In Defense Housing
BY the Assoeiatsd Press

A compromise 81, ,635 ,000, 900 de-
tense housing bill was approved
by the Senate yesterday. A COM
bination Of measures passed ear
lier by both branches of Con-
IgresS. it now needs only a final
House okay to send it on to Pres
Iident Truman.
The bill was originally sought
by the administration. but the
lamounts for various housing pro-
grams were trimmed.
Also, it carries a provision
which would require that the pres
ent tough credit restrictions or
low and medium priced houses be
relaxed, This is separate from a
provision permitting the President
to relax the curbs in defense
areas.
The bill would authorize q SIS
billion expansion of the Govern
ment's authority to insure home
mortgages. This and other fea-
lures are designed to encourage
private industry to build what
housing is necessary.
$50 Million for Public Housing.
However, the bill also provides
$50 million for public housing to
be built by the Government If
necessary. and $50 million for such
community services as waterworks
and sewers in communities unable
to finance them locally.
Also included is a $40 million
fund for buying housing sites in
isolated areas, and one of SIS mil
lion for loans to assist producers
and distributors of prefabricated
housing.
The relaxation of housing credit
restrictions would force modifi-
cation of the current regulation
TX" which operates on a sliding
scale,
Down payments would range
as low as per cent on the pur-
chase price of a house costing
$1,000 or less on a CT loan. The
CT down payment on a house in
the 7,000-$10, 900 range would be
is per cent, and on one in the
$40, ,000-$12,000 class 1t would be
8 per cent.
Is Years to Pay.
A 10 per cent down payment
would be required on a $1,000
house on which the Federal Hous-
ing Administration insured the
mortgage, or which was conven-
tionally financed. This would
step up to Is per cent down on a
$7.000-$10,000 house and to 20E
per cent on one costing from
$4,000 to $4,000.
Purchasers would have Is years
to pay off the balance.
The bill would also allow the
suspension of residential credit
restrictions in critical defense
areas of houses costing less than
$4,000 or renting for less than
$85 a month. On higher priced
houses, the President would be
allowed to relax the curbs to the
extent he thought necessary.

Boil Weevil Situation: First
generation of boil weevils are be-
ginning to hatch in fields of un-
poisoned older cotton. In most
fields of cotton that had been pre-
perly poisoned, boil weevi)s were
under control. In many unpois-
oned fields of older cotton in the
hill areas, the weevil infestation
had increased with the rainy
weather. Some fields of unpois-
oned older cotton had infestations
as high as so per cent to 80 per
cent. In the Delta, most fields OF
older cotton examined by federal
and state entomologists had some
weevil infestations. The infesta-
tons were not high enough to be
serious, but we should remember
that the older cotton infested
with wesvils il the breeding
ground for later generations that
will migrate TO the young cotton.
All fields Of cotton that are
souareing should be examined
closely for weevil damage. If any
damage is occurring poisoning
should begin Immediately. The
interval between poison applica-
tions in older cotton that has
started blooming should be closed
in to four or five days apart. The
reason for this is first generation
