Development Forums
Being Held To Draw
Industry ToThe State
Maximum Assistance Is
Given To Smaller
Communities
State-wide interest is being shown
in plans of the State Board of Con
servation and Development to step up
efforts to bring more industries to
North Carolina, especially in the
smaller communities of the State.
This information is contained in
word from Raleigh from Director Ben
E. Docglas of the State Department
of Conservation and Development.
In order to speed plans for securing
new industries that will provide more
jobs, Director Douglas points out ten
“Development Forums” will be held in
various places throughout North Car
olina during the next six months, with
the first recently held at Zebulon..
Governor William B. Umstead deliver
ed the keynote address at the Zebu
lon meeting.
The nine-county area includes:
Franklin, Wayne, Johnston, Wilson,
Granville, Nash, Vance, Warren and
Wake. Governor Umstead, who is
chairman of the State Board of Con
servation and Development, has con
sistently emphasized the need for
more new industries and the expan
sion of present industries so that not
only more jobs will be provided for
Tar Heel citizens, but that more tax
dollars will also be provided. Doug- 1
las said, to carry on present State
services without having to boost cur
rent State taxes.
Robert M, Hanes of Winston-Salem,
president of the Wachovia Bank &
Trust Co., is chairman of the C. and
D Board’s Committee on Commerce

committee are: Leo Harvey. Kinston,
vice chairman; Charles S. Allen, Dur
ham; Carl Buchan, Jr., North Wilkes
boro; Amos Kearns, High Point; Hen
ry Rankin, Fayetteville and T. Max
Watson, Forest City. All are recog
nized business leaders in their com
munities, Douglas said.
“These forums,” Chairman Hanes
erplained, “are intended to extend the
maximum assistance to the various
communities of the State which are
eager to encourage industrial devel
opment and to obtain the greatest
possible cooperation from individuals
and organizations for the State pro
gram.
All citizens interested in securing
new industries for their communities
are invited to attend the forum meet
ings, with special invitations to be
sent mayors, town boards, city coun
cilmen, county commissioners, mem

ABOUT FARM FISH PONDS |
This claim may sound like another i
tall fishing yam, but it isn’t: Pet-1
rochemical weed controls and fertiliz
er can be made to promote bumper
ifish crops in farm ponds as effective
ly as they boost the production of or
dinary farm crops on dry land. j
In Alabama, unfertilized ponds sup- 1
port 40 to 200 pounds of fish per sur-1
face acres, but fertilized ones give |
cane-pole harvest of 400 to 6001
pounds. Up North, too, fertilized
ponds yield four to five times more
fish, and the fish grow much faster
than in natural streams and lakes.
Ordinary fertilizing with nitrogen,
phosphoric acid, and potash starts a
sort of Isaac Walton chain reaction.
It steps up the growth of microscopic
plant life upon which fish feed. In
ponds stocked with the popular bass
bluegill combination, it works out like
this: On a rich, fertilized diet, blue
gill fingerlings reach four ounces in
a year or less. Having plenty of little
bluegills to feed on, the bass grow to
a nice one-pound pan-frying size in
the same short time.
The harder a well-managed, ferti
lized pond is fished, the better The
more big ones caught, the faster the |
babies grow. A pleasing by-product |
is that fertilized algae or fish food I
discourage weeds in the bottom of the!
pond by cutting off their sunlight.
Here petrochemicals help too. 2-4-D

Dry Weather Brings
Insurance Regrets
Many a North Carolina farmer is
regretting the fact that he turned
down the opportunity to insure his
crops last spring, but none are more
woebegone than farmers in drought
stricken Rockingham County.
T. D. Williamson, Negro county
agent for the Agricultural Extension
Service, says farmers who attended a
crop insurance meeting last spring
anc found hundreds of excuses for not
joining in a group insurance plan, are
perhaps the hardest hit by the two
month-long drought. “It’s ironical,”
says Williamson, “but it’s true.”
Quite a few of the farmers who at
tended the insurance meeting took ad
vantage of the low cost of the group
plan, he says. But many others found
all kinds of excuses for not joining
the group.
“Right now, after talking to these
men,” Williamson says, “it’s hardly
necessary to tell you what they wish
they had done.”
He says those who took out the in
surance are “elated over the fact that
they can still take care of their crop

But some farmers in Rockingham
haven’t been so hard hit by the
drought, the farm agent says. He
cites the case of Walter Williamson of
the Haw River community. In spite
of the dry weather his corn is turn
ing out to be one of the best he ever
produced. He planted N. C. 27 varie
