Ralfor d, E* ecuttve Director of the Duplin County Industrial Development I Commission, to speak -at their meeting on Tuesday November Mr. Ralford explained that the industrial Development - Commission has organised committees in Agricultural De velopment. InAistrial Develop ment, Existing industry. High ways and Roads, and Education. Other committees will appoint ed as needed in Civic Develop ment, Publicity and Public Re lations. Brochures and litera ture. Membership, and Legis lation. Mr. Ralford also explained that when industries were con sidering a new location, suita ble sites, adtxpiate transporta tion. adequate Ubor, and spe cial community services, were the major factors involved. He pointed out that Duplin County has these items and par ticularly explained that Duplin County is an ideal location for produce processing plants and pieat packing plants. Surveys show that industry locates close to markets now, rather than close to the raw materials. Since Duplin County has both of these, it is an ideal loca tion for certain industries. Mr. Ralford pointed out the Importance of the agricultural workers in supplying him with statistics, informative ideas, and identifying land that will make good industrial sites. The officers of the agricul tural workers council fo r this year are: RA. Parker, Jr., Chairman; George Penny, Vice chairman; Mrs. Lois Britt, Sec.-Treas.; and P.C. Fields. Reporter. Turkeys Growers Saw *75000 Thanksgiving Day will be a bigger "turkey day" than us ual for North Carolina turkey producers this year. They have themselves and other farmers of the state to thank for this. Heavy losses from "sleep ing sickness" that cost some growers rather heavily In the past have been avoided this -- year. The Illness among the Ug birds was diagnosed and the cause found and eliminated through work at ..North Caro lina state made-'possible by Nickels for Know-How, the self help program of Tar Heel far mers. The puzzling loss of turkeys has hit the industry hard In past years. One producer lost $25, 000 worth of turkeys because of this "sleeping sickness"! A poultry pathologist at? North Carolina State, Dr. C.H. Hill, was put on the "case" in quick order, a move made possible with the availability of nickels funds. Dr. Hill discovered that the common plant, yellow jessa mine, was the source of the turkey illness, with this know ledge, growers were able to remove the cause and thus re move the disease. It is estimated that this sin gle piece of knowledge, North - Carolina turkey growers now know enable them to save $75, 000 annually. This savings alone re presents well over half the amount of money farmers con tribute each year to the nick els program through the five cents per ton assessment on feed and fertilizer they buy. The Nickels for Know-How program is put up for farmer approval in referendum every third year. The 12-year-old program will be voted on a again November 19. MISS NORTH CAROLINA. Mis S Jeanne swanner.
