Viet-Namese Credit Official Visits Duplin FHAOffice
1 Mr. Truong Quang Canh, De
puty Administrator of the Agri
cultural Credit Office, Saigon,
Vlet-Nam, recently visited
Duplin County to stuay the ope
rations of tne local Farmers
Home Administration office in
administering creklt to rural
families. While In Duplin, Mr.
Canh visited families which
were recelpents of Emergency
and Rural Housing; repair loans.
The purpose of Mr. Canh's
visit was to seek methods which
might be helpful to the Vlet
Nam Agricultural Credit Office
In admlnistrering a more ef
fective loan program to the
farmers of Viet-Nam.
Mr. Canh is a graduate of the
University of the Phllllplnes,
where he was a member of the
Phi Kappa Phi. He later studied
at North Carolina State univer
sity where he received his Mas
ters Degree In Statistics with
additional studies In Agricul
tural Economics. He has also
studied economics and statis
tics in France and Holland.
Mr. Canh related that the
average family farm In Central
Vlet-Nam is about one acre
In size. The size of the average
family farm In lower Vlet
Nam would be six to seven
across. The main crops grown
are rice, rubber, tobacco, tea,
and coconuts. Some hogs are
grown commercially. Most far
mers work for landlords. How
ever, the Viet-Namese govern
ment has limited the maximum
size of farms which may be
owned by an Individual to 100
acres. Tne Government bought
the balance and sold It to small
farmers, allowing them several
years to pay for the farm.
| It was interesting to note that
the rate of Interest charged by
the Agricultural Credit Office
was 12 percent for short-term
loans.
Mr. Canh remarked, "I am
very impressed with the Far
mers Home Administration Ru
ral Housing Program. Other
things which Impress me about
your agency Is the EO Loans,
the kind of supervision that Is
given farmers, the way you keep
track of borrowers, and assist
them In keeping records. It Is
very hard to work with bor
rowers In Vlet-Nam because
those who are educated are in
the army, and the war makes
transportation and communica
tion difficult."

I Henderson A nnounces Plan To Dredge Tojisail Inlet
Congressman David N. Hen
derson announced that the
House today appropriated $100,
000.00 for a project to dredge.
Topsail Inlet. The public Works
Appropriation Bill now goes to
the Senate where Senator B.
Everett Jordan has long been a
supporter of the project and Is
hopeful that the measure will
be approved there.
The project which Is of long
standing, was authorized ear
lier this year following a study
by the Corps of Engineers made
under authority of Section 107
of the Rivers and Harbors Act
of 1960, and normally projects
under section 107 are funded
from a lump sum appropriation
of 1 1/2 million dollars set
aside for such projects nation
wide.
Henderson, however, was
fearful that Section 107 funds
might be exhausted for other
projects and hence pushed for
a specific appropriation for Top
sail Inlet.
"I agree," Henderson said,
"That some of these tremen
dous multl-mllllon dollar pro
jects possibly should be delayed
by the Administration as an
antl-lnflatlon move, but there
Is no justification for holding
up a small one such as this,
particularly when It has been
such a long struggle for us to
get It authorized and funded."

A Poultry Jubilee... Yes! |
*
By: Snodle B. Wilson, Agricultural Extension Agent
The fourth annual Poultry Jubilee in Duplin County promises
to be the biggest and best one yet. The Poultry Jubilee Is an
Important event in Duplin County because It salutes the poultry
industry In this county as well as surrounding counties. It Is
an Important event in many other ways, but the most basic
one is that the Poultry Jubilee is held during the harvest
season when we should most humbly bow and tnank our God
for the bountiful rewards He has given us.
The poultry Industry is thankful in that It has raised the income
In Duplin County from 1500.000 to J22 million in eleven years.
All segments of the poultry industry are to be congratulated
because no other agricultural Industry in Duplin can claim
more progress. Even though this has been a sizeable increase
In poultry income, the real value has been a higher standard
of living for our farm people and economy Impact of the poultry
Industry.
Duplin County poultry Industry Is continuing to increase
In production. The biggest Increase will be in broilers and
rurkeys. Also some expansion in commercial layers Is taking
place. It Is anticipated that the Income from poultry this year
in Duplin County will exceed the $22 million dollar poultry
income of 1965. Poultry prices have been very favorable this
year, thus far, and poultry products continue to be one of the
>etter protein food buys for the consumer even while poultry
irlces have shown an increase.
One of the biggest problems facing our poultry producers
In Duplin County at the present time has been the shortage
if labor. Many of the Duplin County poultry producers are
reacting to farm labor by mechanizing. The installation of
mechanical feeders Is one of the measures that is being
:aken toward the solution of labor Ills. Mechanization has
opened the door to expansion and has created a more favorable
attitude among our poultry producers in poultry husbandry.
The future of the poultry Industry in Duplin County looks
good, as long as the cooperative attitude among our producers
continue. Cyclical fluctuations in both production and price
levels will continue, but as long as a cooperative attitude
prevails these cyclical fluctuations can be overcome.
As we celebrate the fourth annual Poultry jubilee, we in
the poultry industry should remember that it Is a food pro
cessing Industry and that poultry is competing with thousands
of other food Items,
