the Department of Conservation and, Development in

It would be a 'wonderful asset to" all of Easternf,
North Carolina, v It would more immediately help the
area 25 to 40 miles around the plant site: Such an op
eration would work wonders several ways. It would
be a ydar-round operation. It would make a large new
payroll It' would stabilize truck crop production.
Hence it would increase truck crop growing.
Duplin started, out to sign up farmers to grow 6,500
acres of truck crops which the processing plant has in
dipated it would need. i :
' & ' That goal was passed sometime back. The Warsaw
Jayqees, aided by leaders of various groups and sections,
canvassed personally truck crop area growers. The
effort has caught fire, Enthusaism is aroused,
t , The canvassers for new truck acrea!ge worked with
out" regard to county lines. They worked in sections
which for 5Q years 'havfr had a history of truck crogs.
They canvassed southern Wayne and points of Pender,
Lenoir, Sampson and Johnston counties.
: iThe goal now is for 15,000 acres,
Wayne' does not have a sufficient history of truck
crop totals to be a serious contender for the proposed
plant. " ...
;' , But Wayne has a sizable area south bf Mt. Olive and
around Mt. Olive and in Grantham. ;
i", Wayne will give all possible help tp Duplin in its
fieht.- Wavn-; farmers already have-signed and de-
livered their pledges to cooperate.
'. . wnatever Uupnn neeas in the way of cooperation
from Goldsboro and from Wayne will be heartily and
enthusiastically given.

getting things done in a big way. We are mostly farm
ers. We have no great big industry in our coumy.
J. P. Stevens at Wallace is our largest. We feel now
we are going after what really belongs to Duplin n at
tempting to secure a vegetable processing plant.. Be
fore the age of tobacco Duplin was known as a vege
table "growing county. We know we have the soil and
our farmers have the know-how. A plant of this nature
not only provides employment but proves a guaranteed
market for the products our farmers grow. Thus a two
fold benefit to Duplin. We believe we are moving in
the right direction.
, V As soon as this effort is completed Duplin should be
gin at once in efforts to secure a poultry processing
plait. With 2 million broilers in the county; turkey
production growing by leaps and bounds and prospects
for a greater output of broilers. Duplin should turn its
eyes again to an industry that will utilize the products
of our farms. Warsaw spearheaded the vegetable pro
cessing, plant drive. Who will spearhead a poultry
turkey processing plant? J. R. Grady

My Best wishes go to the fifty thou

once again they will be inspired by
their encampment on that hallowec

The need for such a plant in the
Puplin section of Eastern North
Carolina is accented by the fact
that tobacco acreage has been slic
ti and farmer's expected income
v. ill probably be down as a result
of the acreage cut.
Soils in the area have grown
vegetables successfully for many
years, but never on a very large
