fhi-oughout North Carolina we j
have many encouraging examples of j
vegetable markets which are each J
year paying thousands of dollars and ;
bringing a measure of prosperity to !
communities, merchants, banks, and
supply houses, which could hardly be
conceived of before these communities
started raising vegetables. Many
of these communities have national
recognition for quality and quantity
production of only one or two vegetables
or fruits. To the produce man, j
Chadbourn means strawberries be- j
cause scores of refrigerator cars and 1
many truckloads of them leave this!
point each night during the season. |
Clinton means green conn; Elizabeth i
City, Cobbler potatoes and English j
peas; Mount Tabor and Fairmount,
snap beans, and Faison and Calypso
mean cucumbers. Several other
. points such as Mount Olive and Wallace
are noted for a wide variety nf
products which last through a long'
t season.
I Vegetable markets do not just happen.
They are the result of forel
