Phosphate Industry Poses Danger

It is an economic danger
which the NCSU Industrial

seeking to overcome.
"We have a survey un

director of the IES, “which

Seely is studying the
problems and promises
v/ith industrial develop
ment agencies, federal of
ficials, transportation ex
perts, power company of
ficers, bankers and others.
The focus of Seely’s
study is the impact phos
phate mining operations
may have on the industrial
economy of Eastern North
Carolina.
The importance of the
NCSU survey is pointed up
by the market for phos
phate products.
Hart and Seely noted:
“The cause for this study
has been created by the
extensive use of phosphate
chemicals by industry.”
For example, they note,
phosphates are basic to
“fertilizers, food process
irg, soft drinks, medicines,
detergents, textiles and
toothpaste.”

ducts:
—Textiles, North Caro
lina’s largest manufactur
ing industry, “uses phos
phorous derivatives for tex
tile fibers and fabrics.”
—The market potential
for phosphate use in water
conditioning is estimated at
more than (250,000 in
North Carolina annually
and S2O million in the
Southeast.
—The N. C. food pro
cessing industry could re
quire $3 million worth of
phosphorous chemical each
year.
Before the chemicals
used in such industries can
be manufactured, the raw
phosphate being mined
around Aurora must be
converted into elemental
phosphorous.
“The ultimate goal of
this survey,” Hart conclud
ed, “is to trigger the co
operative effort that will
be needed to see that North
Carolina, which is profit
ing from a rich resource,
will profit even more from
value added by manufac
ture.”
North Carolina State Uni
versity started programs
for developing the phos
phate industry in North
Carolina before any ore
was being mined.
University engineers at
the NCSU Minerals Re

-1 bur Company prior to that
company’s malti - million
dollar investment in Beau
fort County.
Dr. Leo Miller and Dr.
Guy T. Mcßride, the first
two heads of the Texas
Gulf operations in this
state, have credited the
NCSU studies with contri
buting substantially to the
establishment of Texas
Gulf Sulphur operations at
Aurora.
To encourage the loca
tion of chemical products
manufacturing in Eastern
North Carolina, the NCSU
School of Engineering and
its Industrial Extension
Service conducted a chem
ical complex conference for
several hundred industrial
developers and chemical
company representatives in
March, 1965.
At that conference, NCSU
authorities noted that a
phosphorous plant, produc
ing 15,000 tons per year
would hire at least 110
people. Such a plant would
provide an annual payroll
of more than $300,000.
It is those jobs for East
ern Tar Heels and that
payroll for eastern coun
ties that the NCSU Indus
trial Extension Service
wants to develop in this
state.

Best She Can Afford
Mrs. Mildred Jenkins,
Williamston Route 1, a wi
dow, uses her time, energy
and small income to pro
vide her family of five
with the best she can af
ford.
Walking into the Jen
kins’ home, one would be
rstounded at the attractive,
neat, modest home, Mrs.
M. Vivian H. Morris, home
economics Extension agent,
Martin County, observes.
Last year Mrs. Jenkins
made her own kitchen base
and upper cabinets, Mrs.
Morris says. However, at
that time she had no con
venient range for cooking:
she had to use a hot plate.
Mrs. Jenkins’ goal was to
install a new range, refrig
erator and running water
this year. Through good
money management, she
was able to realize this
goal.
Mrs. Jenkins believes you
can make it if you try.
“All families must set goals
and use their time, energy
and income to reach them,”
she adds.
Sunflowers For Profit
Have you ever consider
ed planting sunflowers for
profit? Mrs. Judith Pease
of Anaeco Farms, Knotts
Island, did.
According to Sherrill F.
Brown, assistant home eco

Currituck County, "Mrs.
Peases uses all available
space on her farm to plant
sunflowers for their seeds. ]

In addition to being a
beautiful addition to the

Test Pressure Canners
The pressure can ne r

is a safety precaution for
Alamance County home

Extension agent.
Members of Extension
homemakers clubs are co
operating in gathering up
the canners in their neigh
borhood and bringing them
to the testing station. Also,
these women are telling
their friends and neigh
bors about the service.
Some of the canners
tested were 20 and 25
years old, and still in top
condition. Others needed
a new gauge or gasket.
