the various Hyde towns offered
great variety of stock to the
Dare mainlanders than they had
been used to seeing just after the
new highway was made about
twenty years ago. Therefore, the
Engelhard merchants built up a
fine trade with the natives of the
Dare mainland. This trade still
continues.
Baseball games between the
villages of Dare and Hyde have
helped to mold lasting friend
ships. Folks in both sections
fondly reminisce about the days
when Brick Howard, John T. Lee,
John Madison Berry, John Har-
old Swindell, Red Caravan, and
Dick Lupton of Swan Quarter
used to come to Stumpy Point
and play ball against the local
team. There were many others.
Joe Simmons of Fairfield, now
judge of Hyde County's Record
er's Court, was one of the best
players the local fellows had to
face. The Simmons are distantly
related to the Wises in Dare
County.
Fraternal ties also exist be-
tween the counties. With the
opening of the road and the es-
Enlistment of a lodge hall near
Amity Church, Masons in the
village of Stumpy Point changed
their membership from the var
ious lndges, scattered all over, to
the lodge in Hyde County. The
Order Of the Eastern Star of
Hyde Chapter 213 received many
new members from the Dare
community.
All in all, the ties that bind
the two counties are numerous
and varied. At Long Shoal River,
the dividing line, a bridge con-
meets the two counties.

marrying girls and boys out of
both counties Leland Wise,
grandson of Uncle Sam Nixon,
married Miss Alva Gibbs of Swan
Quarter. William Gray married
Miss Belle Mckinney of Engel-
hard; Hollis Dudley of Gulrock
married Miss Maxine Hooper of
Stumpy Point; Rudolph Spencer
of Engelhard married Miss Fran
ces Payne of Stumpy Point; Hill
ton Meekins of Stumpy Point
married Miss Doris Gibbs of
Engelhard, and Sam Boomer, Jr.,
of Swan Quarter married Miss
Sybil Hooper.
Other villages in Dare County
have close ties with Hyde. Man
teo, Manns Harbor, and Hatteras
are all represented in families
living in Hyde, and there are
Hyde families living in those
communities.
Besides the blood ties existent
between the two counties, there
are great bonds of friendship
which have been formed during
the passing years, particularly
since transportation and COM
munication have been made pos
Sible.
Not too many years ago, when
Stumpy Point was the shad cap
ltal there were not enough men
available to carry on all the work
that was necessary to the job.
Therefore, young boys from Hyde
County were hired to help out the
village fishermen. Some of these
boys included the Sanderson
brothers, Johnnie, Romulus, and
Sammie. Owen Gibbs of Middle
town used to fish with Monroe
Midget. Little Joe Gibbs who
was lost on a tanker during the
last war, was another young
fellow who worked here. Claud
Balance, the Pugh boys, Leo
nard, Carl and Earl of Mount
Pleasant also did their stint of
work over here years ago, along
with the Dudley brothers, Err
nest, Harry and Hollis, of the
same Hyde village. Ernest and
Hollis both married on Stumpy
Point.
Business ties have bound the
counties together also. When the
bank was established in Engel-
hard, many of the Stumpy Point
business men made their deposits
there. Mr.. Hooker, the cashier Of
the new bank, made many
friends through the Dare section.

BOOKLET DESCRIBES
NEED FOR NITROGEN

How important is nitrogen to
the efficient production of forage
crops? Every North Carolina
livestock farmer needs the an
swer.
A complete explanation is
given in the latest publication of
the North Carolina Agricultural
Experiment Station-"Nitrogen
in Forage Production" Bulletin
No. 1888, by w. w. Woodhouse,
Jr., and D. S. Chamblee, pro-
fessors of agronomy at N. c,
State College. The 24-page, illus
trated booklet introduces the
farmer to some basic facts about
forage crops, both degumes and
grasses.
Nitrogen, a component of pro-
teins, is a highly important nu-
TRENT in all forages," explained
the authors. Gall high quality
forages require rather large
amounts of nitrogen from some
source" Because many forage
plants are legumes, the nitrogen
fertilization of forage crops is a
tricky business.
Legumes elk" or gather in
much of their nitrogen require
ments from the atmosphere
Grasses, on the other hand, have
no nitrogen fixing bacteria" and
thus must depend upon nitrogen
being applied artificially. Know
ing just how much nitrogen 6
pasture mixture, for example
may require is of upmost i'm.
portance on the farm.

available through local county
farm agents or by addressing {

n Capture the Color of Christmas

CHRISTMAS is filled with color
~ the traditional red and
green, accented by touches of gold
and silver . d. in fact, all the colors
of the rainbow, in varying tones,
hues, and intensities to help make
the Yuletide season the beautiful
and gay holiday that everyone
loves.
That's why your Christmas pic
lures really ought to be in color.
If you've never used color film,
there is no better time to start.
Now that there is a top quality
color snapshot film to fit all stand
ard size cameras, even the sim
plest varieties, anyone can capture
the color of Christmas to enjoy
over and over again.
With most of your Christmas
activities taking place indoors,
you'll be taking your pictures
with artificial light. Flash photog-
raphy is the easiest and best for
this kind of snapshooting. Even
the simplest of modern cameras
are equipped for synchronized
flash which makes it just as easy
to shoot pictures indoors, day or
night, as outdoors on a sunny
afternoon. The same motion that
takes the picture flashes the bulb
at just the right instant to light
your picture properly.
You can use color film with your
fash just the same as black-and-
white. But there is one thing to

remember. There are special color
films to use with artificial light.
Whether you are making beautiful
full color transparencies to pro-
ject, greatly enlarged, on screen
or if you're taking brilliant color
snapshots to mount in your album
or carry in a wallet-be sure that
you are using the film especially
made for artificial light.
However, if you find yourself

situation and have outdoor or day.
light type film in your camera,
don't give up. There's a simple
solution to this problem. The flash
bulb manufacturers have taken
care of the situation nicely. They
make a bulb that is blue. This
means that they give a blue light
which Stimulates daylight. To use
daylight film indoors, all you have
to do is be sure that you're using
blue bulbs.
There's no trick to color pho

USE OF CHEMICALS FOR
WEED C'NTROL EXPANDS

Chemical control of weeds is
rapidly developing into a success
full and economic farm practice
not only in Hyde, but throughout
North Carolina and the nation,
according to Earl Topping, corn-
ty agent for the State Coll sc
Extension Service.
Mr.. Topping reports that rece'
figures show Americans are usi
well over 80 million pounds
the so-called phenoxy compour
2, 4-D,2,4,5-T, and MCP-evo'
year. During 1851, for exar
approximately Is million &C es
of farm land was treated !
2,4-D, only one of the variety IF
herbicides in use.
The value of chemicals in W d
control was first noted ali. t
1900, but only within the past 0
years have rapid advances b en-
made in practical applications of
the principal, says Mr.. Topping.
Many success stories can now be
told to show the effectiveness of
chemical weed control under
normal farm conditions he adds,
Control of wild mustard in
wheat is one of the impressive
accomplishments cited. Cultural
practices developed to meet this
problem had proved almost
worthless 10 years ago and the
number of acres infested with
wild mustard was increasing an
nually. Now one-fourth pound of
an ammine salt of PAD, the
amount needed to control wild
mustard in an acre of wheat, can
be purchased for Is cents.
