members of the fishing club. Also

Following the casting contest
came the fishing contest and with
a typical summer afternoon of
beautiful weather the fish were
hitting at the "Point" which made
the contest continue with much
excitement as to who would end
up with the largest fish. When the

weighed Bill Dillon of Buxton won

largest mackerel was won by Ems.

at Buxton. The mackerel weighed
2 pounds. First prize for the most
fish was won by B. R. Balance of

Following the fishing contest
was the clam bake and needless
to say, after such an afternoon of
activity, there were many hungry
fishermen and guests who enjoyed
baked CLANS, cole slaw, potato
salad and cold drinks.
Upon parting, it was generally
agreed that the afternoon had
been a pleasant one, good time
was had by all and appreciation
was expressed to officers and
members of the Cape Hatteras
Anglers Club for their efforts in
making the first outing of the
club such a success.
Rany Jennette of Buxton is
president of the organization, and
Mrs. George Fuller, Secretary.
This event is reported as being
enjoyed by some 200 people in all.

Cumberland Farmer Insalls First Irrigation Unit
Now Expects To Fight Floods And Japanese Beetles
Irrigating 24O
Acres OF Corn

1t beats nothing by a whole lot .
said r. ESten Baker, Of Columbia
commenting on his irrigation sys-
tenn in operation
Baker is the first farmer iii Cum
berland county TO buy and use ar
irrigation system. according to all
reports. His reason for buying ar
irrigation unit is summed up In $40
acres of corn.
Baker figures he can n1igate
most Of the corn with his unit He
has 40 acres on Elk Island which
Is IN the middle Of the James River
The other 200 acres are in various
blocks along the river
The only crop he is watering is
corn. He said it is too late to water

use the unit Oh his 80 acres of soy

to irrigale Th4 only thing ii
needed was water" he commented
drily
Mr.. Bakers mood changed to a
ENTHUSIASTICALLY optimistic one
as he watched water roll out OF
his six inch irrigation pipe How
ever, irrigating 200 odd acres Of
corn is not much fun, especially
when il is done day and night
1900 Gallons Minute
The unit Mr.. Baker is using is
one of the largest. II devopes $50
horsepower and can deliver 1900 to
1900 gallons per minute However.
he estimates that pumping the water
as tar as he does. he is lucky 10 get
1900 gallons per minute.
He Is not using Sprinkler sys-
TEN. Too much wasted motion.
he said The six inch main line
feeds lateral three inch lines that
dump the water directly into The
corn rows Gravity pulls the water
down the row for uniform coyera9e.
When the water is standing about
a foot deep in the row. the unit il
moved and another group Of rows
is covered He estimates that h
dumped million gallons on a IS
acre tield on the other side OF the
river
Mr.. Baker has hopes Of getting
a normal yield from most 81 his
corn. The corn on tn island Is
young and is expected to be good
Unless we get TOO much rain
later, he added in all seriousness.
Flood and Insects
Drought and flood are both po-
tential dangers. Flood is especially
bad On the island w lost the en-
tire crop two years ago. the CO
lumbla farmer said The Mater
reached 81 feet at the water g3uac
AT Columbia.
Another form Of trouble popped
up when several ears Of corn We're
inspected, Japanese beetles
This destructive insect completely
ruined the corn near the river IN y
become less destructive toward the
middle Of the field. but several ears
six or eight inches long, had been
completely stripped by beetles
Other ears were covered with the
insects, as they started at the tassel
end and worked down to the stalk.

conclusion on the results Of the llri--
