Soil And j Water Conservation As sociation James Bellamy of Shallotte has been elected first vice president i of the North Carolina Soil and Water Conservation association at the group’s annual convention in Durham last week at which time beach erosion was discussed at length. Under the succession rules of the Association, Vice President Bellamy will be president next year. He was second vice presi dent last year. As first vice president, Bellamy will be a member of the import ant North Carolina State Soil and Water- Conservation Commit tee, the policy-making body of the association. Other members of the committee include the president, the past president, the state forester, the director of the state agricultural extension serv ice and the director of the state experimental station. An at-large member is elected by the regular members. During the meeting, the Asso ciation adopted a resolution which calls for research on soil stabili zation through vegetation on the Outer Banks as an answer to the beach erosion problem. North Carolina State College, who conducted a research project on the problem last year, told the association the “vegetation is the only altex-native we have for above mean high tides.” “There is no other way,” he stated. Dr. Woodhouse said the prob lem frequently on the banks is that there are no dunes or vege tation and the storms wash sand over into the sound. “The planting on Ocrocoke was done with the idea of catching sand,” he said. Dr. Woodhouse had pictures showing the use of fertilizer in the project. Fertilized areas had 12 times the growth of unfer tilized areas, he pointed out. “The big elements needed for fertilizing beach areas is nitrogen and phosphorous,” Dr. Woodhouse reported. “It cost approximately $15 an acre.” Cucumbers May Add To Income Several Pickling Firms Show Interest In Getting Acre age Planted In Brunswick County Several cucumber pickling com panies that are registered with the North Carolina Department of Agriculture are interested in con tracting cucumber acreage in Brunswick County, reports A.
