Agents and State College Extens ion . Specialists, they reviewed at two meetings the. entire list of in come production' projects and tried ; to analyze the future prospects of J each. The 5-year projected plan for' rural Orange is the first concrete ; Accomplishment of the recently activated 28-member development j committee named by the county commissioners to initiate and pro- . mole -aitivities which will expand the county’s agricultural and in dustrial economy and thus broad en t ie'tax base. Don., S. M^ftiesoh is chairman of the overall com missiond Zeb C. Burton is chair man of the Agricultural division. The proposed 5-year-plan for in creasihg income led off with a 5755,000 iWcrease Jn "poultry which would add 50,000 commercial lay ers, \ 12,000 layers for hatching egg.t and about 750,000 additional broilers. Last year the county spent $1,208,000 for feed. By increasing the yield per acre of feed grains S4O0.00Q of this money can be re gained. • I^jlirying the future-expansion syas tied in with the consumption of *cade jA- dairy products, llow-j 'ever, within a 5-year period it was thought, an additional 700.000 gal- j Ions of milk per year could be marketed bringing in $350,000 ex tra income, i Hogs were considered a good prospect- for $180,000. extra income especially1 in the production of feeder pigs. The Farmers Exchange | Livestock Market is building a new hog sales barn and will.push the sale of good feeder pigs to eastern Carolina'farmers. The tobacco picture was review ed and with the prospective 20'; -out-in. -lei-eage' the only suggested . way of recovering this loss in in come was a proposal to irrigate at abling them to increase their per acre production by 300 pounds, and by good, cultural practices to in- j crease the poundage oh the re maining 700 tobacco farms by 150 pounds "per acre. Even with this ..Increase in efficiency .of pjcdULC Tion, the county will lose approxi mately $250,000 in gross income. (.See INCOME-. Page 6) L J.
