The school's students were giv

from several of the 23 colleges
and universities participating in

college representatives were held
in accordance with these choices.

5 Cents Per Copy,
The Perquimans County Cham
ber of Commerce is vitally inter
ested in raising the income of
the farmers of the county and
wants to do this by not seeking
aid from the federal govern
ment, but by helping "ourselves,"
according to letters sent to vari-.
ous companies by the local
Chamber's Commercial Develop
ment Committee, of which Dr. T.
P. Brinn is chairman.
The letter stated that it is
felt this area has the potential
to become a very fine truck
farming area but at present is
not realizing this potential due
to the lack of crop diversifica
tion. The main crops at this
time are corn, soybeans and pea
nuts. This year two .companies
have contracted for acreage in
cucumbers and snap beans
which is a great step in the
right direction.
The letters were sent out to
seek companies interested in con
tracting for acreage for any of
the vegetables that they are pres
ently processing but are experi
encing difficulty in obtaining in
the quantity and quality that
they require. There is positive
feeling that the farmers of 'Per
quimans County will be able to
produce crops of the desired
quality to meet the companies'
high standards.
The local committee on com
mercial development has receiv
ed several answers to the letters
sent out. One particlar com
pany answering stated they at
this time are looking for an
area south whose farmers could
grew .about 2,000 acres of sweet
corn' for their company.
Officers and directors of the
Chamber of Commerce are well
pleased with the efforts being
expended in development of
truCk"'farrrtingTn this "afea. Many -Perquimans
farmers did well
with crops of beans, cabbage and
cucumbers this past season.
