SECTION TWO-
Ground Water In
Eastern Counties
Being Investigatedj
68% of State’s Popula
tion Depend Upon This
Source of Supply
Field investigations of ground water
in three eastern North Carolina areas
are nearing completion, Director Ben
E. Douglas of the Department of Con
servation and Development says.
The areas are: Wilmington, which
includes the counties of Carteret. Cra-.
ven, Duplin, Jones, Lenoir, Onslow,;
New Hanover, and Pender; Fayette
ville, which includes the counties of
Cumberland, Harnett, Hoke,
Moore, Richmond, Robeson, and Scot
land; and Greenville, which includes
Beaufort, Bertie, Chowan, Gates,
Greene, Hertford, Martin and Pitt
counties.
Results of the investigations and :
studies, which are being carried on by
the C&D Department’s minerals di
vision in cooperatin with the U. S.
Geological Survey, will be published
in pamphlets and made available for
public use, Douglas said.
Douglas said Dr. J. L. Stuekev.
State geologist and head of the C&D
Department’s minerals division, has
advised him that the areas being stud
ied are of considerable importance
since much of the water used in the '
Coastal Plain is obtained from ground
water sources. In the studies. Dr.
Stuckey said, special attention is be
ing paid to the chemical quality of
the ground water.
Dr. Stuckey said in a report to
Douglas that ground water is one of
the most natural resources of North
Carolina. “Approximately 2,700.000
people, or 68 per cent of the popula
tion of the State, depend upon ground
water for their water supply. In ad
dition, approximately one-half of the
industries in the State use ground wa
ter.”

Happy new Khmer new year.
At this time of the year you will
begin to take notice whether or not’
you have a good crop of grapes on
your muscadine vines. If not, why
not? Although not always the case,
the usual answer to that question is
poor pollination. Most muscadine va
rieties require pollination by a male
vine in order to set fruit. Many of
the wild muscadine vines are males
and in the past have served as pol
linators for the vines planted in the
home gardens. However, many wood
ed and brushland areas have been put
into cultivation and in doing so the
male muscadine have been destroyed
and now the garden varieties are not
producing good crops.
I saw a good illustration of this
last week. A large James grape which
formerly produced good crops has on
ly a scattering of grapes on it. That

has been the story for several years.
However, three young vines propa
gated from this one and planted in
another garden along with some per
fect flowered pollinators have a heavy
crop of grapes on them this year. This
goes to show how important pollina
tion is for your scuppemongs and
muscadines.
During the past few years perfect
Dowered varieties of muscadines have
been offered for sale. They were de
veloped at the N. C. Lower Coastal
Plain Station by Mr. Charles Dear
ing. These varieties will produce crops
without the presence of male vines
and also will take the place of male
vines in pollinating other varieties.
Since the male vines produce no
grapes, it is a distinct advantage to
use one of these perfect flowered va
rieties for pollination. Why use the

Producers Can Develop
Year Round Egg Supply
One of the biggest headaches of the
. market egg industry—fluctuating of
- the supply of eggs during the year—
i can now be eliminated, R. S. Dear

r at State College, has announced.
1 Contrary to what egg producers
■ have always believed, 52-week produc-
I tion is a distinct possibility if two
thirds of the chicks for layers are
t started in the spring and one-third in
, the autumn.
Dearstyne says that the poultryman

1 1 should begin thinking now about Octo
ber-or-November-hatched chicks. The
.quality of these chicks and the man
agement given them will be the decid

. There are plenty of these chicks
produced by North Carolina hatcheries
but it is necessary that producers

’ that the poultryman should not be too
