Duplin has always been a big tur
key producing County. However, the
1960 figure of 550,000 turkey produc
ed is almost five times more tur
keys than were produced in 1954.
Income to Duplin poultry prediw
cers in 1960 is estimated to be $16,
000,000. Reynolds said today that
the County's -income from tobacco
in 1960 will be an estimated W.O0,
000. This means that with normal ex
pansion in the poultry business, that
broilers, hens and turkeys will soon
bypass tobacco as Duplin's number
one source of agricultural income.
For 1959, when poultry productk
was off somewhat, total agricultural
income in Duplin was $44,043,900.
Of this amount, $14,655,000 came
from poultry. ,
There are approximately 400 com
