The pictures of dwarf fruit
trees laden with fruits shown
in the catalogues are most in
teresting. Moreover these mini
AZURE trees bear full sized fruits
and at an early age. Also, most
of the dwarf fruits are hardy
in this area. Their small stature
makes them suitable for the
smaller yards as well as homes
In the country.
Beyond these features 1t
should also be pointed out that
the same equipment used to
control diseases and pests of
roses will usually do the same
job for the fruits.
Pest Control a Must
Too often, however, the cata-
logues do not point out that
these dwarf fruits, if they are
to produce useful fruits, must
be given the same thorough
going pest control programs
that the rose growers long ago
learned were necessary If they
were to have high quality
flowers. All fruits except pos
sibly the sour cherries must
be protected from insects and
diseases, whether in the garden
or In the commercial orchard.
There is no satisfaction in
having fruit trees in the yard
unless they bear fruits of edible
quality. Fortunately. 1t does not
take any more care to grow
them than it does to grow good
roses and the same equipment
will take care of both.
Only Two Buds
The dwarf fruits to be really
productive also need to be
Ipruned annually and to be kept
free from competition with tree
roots and lawn grasses, they
also require some fertilization
Pruning is quite different for
the dwarf apples and pears
than it is for the standard
sized trees. Dwarf trees should
be pruned back each spring to
not more than two buds OF
new growth. That is, the
growth of the past season is
largely removed. The small
crooked fruiting spurs, how
ever, are not touched they are
on the older stems or branches
The dwarf apples are un-
doubtedly of the greater In
terest, and suppliers can pro-
vide those varieties best
adapted TO this area. The Stay
man Winesap is probably the
best, but one can also obtair
the Delicious, the Golden De.
licious and the Jonathan. The
latter is probably the least de.
sirable.

second choice. There is a real
dwarf, Bonanza, which begins
bearing the second year after
planting. Most standard varie-
ties may also be grown and
kept dwarf by pruning, for this
reason it is likely that the
beginner will prefer the true
dwarf. There is an ornamental
peach that has edible fruits
for those interested, but it does
not fruit as early as does the
dwarf.
Peaches do require a regular
spraying program not only to
control insects but also to COM
bat "brown-rot," a disease
which is especially troublesome
in our hot muggy summers. ct
is also bad on plums and the
sweet cherries) Summer
strength lime-sulphur is the
standard remedy.
Feathered Enemies
The sour cherries are also
available in dwarf forms. They
take less spraying than almost
any of the other fruits unless
it be the Seckel pear. However,
the birds love sour cherries and
unless the trees can be covered
with cheese cloth the owner Is
| likely to be on the short end
when harvest is over. In other
words, protection from the
birds is more important than
protection from insects and dis
eases.

rivers of Beaufort to the mining
companies, Sixty residents of the
county met on Tuesday with
state officials and industrial
geologists to protest a proposal
to lease the rivers for mining.
They said in essence that Beau
fort County wants a phosphate
mining development; but they
said that Beaufort County does
not want it's present major in
dustry-crabbing-or any of the
other assets of it's rivers tam
pered with.
Texas Cuffs geologist, DR..
Leo Miller, stated at the meet
ing on Tuesday that the river
accesses are an integral part
of the company's present opera
tional plans. Miller declined to
state whether the company
would desert the county if the
leases were not obtained.
Daniel Cameron, Chairman Of
the Mineral Resources Commit
tee of the North Carolina De-
partment of Conservation stated
that: "The problem from start
to finish is to compete with the
Florida market" where phos-
phate is comparatively easy to
mine. He noted that the phos-
phate in Beaufort is covered by
40 feet or more of soil, or over
burden, that lies in the way OF
it's recovery. s
The meeting in Washington
was called after disclosure by
Cameron's committee that it had
invited bids for options to lease
nine parcels of river bottom in
the phosphate area. Landowners
fear the filming companies will
fulfill their phosphate needs
from river mines and neglect
the development of highland
holdings.
DR.. Miller indicated in his talk
on Tuesday that the most pro-
fitable phosphate would come
from the Pamlico and Pungo
Rivers. Miller said that phos-
phate from these sources woulo
offset the cost of mining the
landbound deposits. He indicated
that the land mining is neces,
sary, however, to provide q
dumping ground for the spoi
). from the river mining. "That':
how Texas Gulf proposes te
avoid damaging the rivers" hi

HATTERAsMAN DIES
OF SHOTGUN WOUNDS
RECEIVED IN CHEST

WILDER Eris Waterfield, 4S, of
Hatteras, died in Albemarle Hos
pital last Saturday night as a
result of self-inflicted shotgun
wounds which he received on
Friday night.
The Currituck County native
was discovered at approximate
ly 7:45 pm. in the. attic of the
Waterfield home by his son-in-
law, Douglas Edward Doris.
Waterfield's death was the re-
suit of a .410 gauge shotgun
blast which ripptd into the
left side of his chest. The deceas-
ed is reported to have been
suffering from ill health for the
past year.
Waterfield had been residing
at Hatteras for the past seven
years. He was the son of Ken
meth H. and the late Cora Hay
man Waterfield, and husband
of Mrs. Lila Mae Daniels Water
field.
He was employed as an engi-
neer on a ferry for the State
Highway Department after hav-
ing served in the U. S. Army. He
was a member of Powell's Point
Baptist Church.
Survivors include two daugh-
ters, Mrs. Rosa Marie Doris and
Mrs. Cora Louise Balance of
Hatteras; two sons, Eris Jr. and
Kenneth Nile Waterfield of Hat
teras; two sisters, Mrs. Martha
Newbern of Powells Point and
Mrs. Nomia Marks of Courtland,
Va; one brother, Nile Water

since the present board will es-
tablish the levy for next year,
another large increase is antici-
pated, especially in view of the
tens of thousnds of dollars pro-
perty value lost in the March Z

ters elect a board which will

still be another year before tax
relief might be anticipated. 1t is
sure to be welcome at that time!
The Democratic nominees will

tends he never drew the knife
from his pocket. Liverman is re-
ported to have stated he "be-
lieves" he said he was going to
"cut York's throat" but only
after the pistol had been
drawn.
The Kill Devil Hills Police De-
partment has made a sketch of
the room where the incident al
legedly occurred and has locat-
ed a fired bullet which was
found on the floor of the store.
Chief Dowdy has emphasized
that the investigation is still un-
derway.
Commissioner York has de-
clined comment on the shoot
ing, but has stated that he
visited Liverman, Gin the COM
pany of Others" on Saturday.
The alleged assailant has been
a member of the Kill Devil
Hills Board of Commissioners
since 1859.
York, 55, was the star witness
for the state when Smith and
four policemen were tried in
Guilford Superior Court in 1852
as the lottery empire crumpled.
Smith and the policemen each
drew prison terms, after York
told his story of the lottery oper-
,ations several times from the
witness stand. York later served
time in a Federal Prison for his
part in the lottery operations.
Smith died in 1861, while serving
a prison term for tax evasion.

Raymond Shaw, disaster man.
ager for the SBA stated that:
Assistance of the local commit
tee has been of invaluable help
in speeding up and finalizing the
loan action"
Shaw indicated that the loans
ranged from small amounts to
home owners and fishermen, up
to-the more substantial loans to
the larger motels and hotels on
the banks. He said $40 of the
loan applications submitted for
consideration, with the help of
the advisory committee, had
been approved. "The remaining
go was partially composed of
individuals who withdrew their
applications before final pro-
cessing," he said.
Moore stated that applications
can still be filed with the SBA,
but indicated that these loans
should be filed before Septem-
ber 80, 1862 at the SBA's Char
lotte, N. C. office.
The Regional Director ex-
pressed amazement at the "phe-
nomenal recovery" being made
towards" restored economy in
all its aspects" He predicted
that the coming summer season
will reach record heights Of ac-
tivity along the full stretch of
the Outer Banks. The director
stated that he was also grateful
for the willing support Of
SBA's operation by many of the
local officials.

Conservationists fear lirrepar-

championed at the meeting by
State Senator Lindsay Warren,

The Tuesday meeting was ar

Bids for the river leases will
