(Staff Photo) Future Of Sunflower Crop In Warren Appears Bright By BIGNALL JONES There are more than 300 farmers in Warren County who each year spend more than $70,000 in the production of their crops, L. C. Cooper, Extension Chairman, said as I discussed with him the cost of a Perdue broiler house this week. Asked about black participation in the pro gram he said there were a number of blacks inter ested in the program who were able to raise the necessary capital, and believes that many per sons, black and white, retiring to Warren Coun ty will invest in poultry houses as a part-time ac tivity. Chairman Cooper is very optimistic about Warren County and said that he believes that in three years, as a result of Perdue coining to Warren County, that the county will have turned the corner and be on the road to economic prosperity.
