M Thompson, county agricultural agent. Perquimans , County had the high average in peanut yield in 1960 with a county average of close to 1,960 pounds per acre, "We, need to do everything pos sible 'to J improve ! our 1 peanut yield, and finding 'out th latest information through the schools, news articles, and other methods, is most, important if we are to continue to produce the quan tity of peanuts per acre that are produced in other areas,", stated Mr. Thompson.

C Extension Service, will be here to lead the discus sion and bring forth the latest information on peanut Production and it is our nope that everyone that has an Interest in peanuts will attend this school to find out the ) latest research and to take part in . tha discussions that 1 go along with tha- school ity Task Community industrial develop- ' ment is not a job which can be accomplished by the state or lo cal governments but is a task which requires full support and cooperation of all of the people within the community. This was the advice given members of the Perquimans County Chamber of Commerce by W. R. Henderson, director of the Industry Commission of the State Department of Conserva tion and Development at a din ner meeting held in the Hert ford Grammar School cafeteria Wednesday night. . Mr. Henderson related the ef forts being made by the state to aid communities wth indus trial development and pointed out, due to loss of jobs on farms and from industrial failures there is a .need for 88,000 new job opportunities each year in North Carolina. He pointed out new industry in North Carolina last year cre ated 31,000 new job opportuni ties but this failed to keep pace with the needs of new jobs. North Carolina offers much in attracting industry, its main as set being people who are will ing to give a full day's work for a day's pay. This is a fac tor, according to . Mr. Hender son because industries seek a location which will , provide the opportunity to them to have a profitable year on the operations within a community. , About 125 attended . this first dinner meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, Charles M. Har rell, president, acted as toast master anrf Allan W.
