It would then receive (93.400 minus *800) $1900 a year in addition to Ha own earning! of 91,000. A fam ily that earned $3.ooo would lose half of that amount ($1800) 9M&MK'would then reeain *900 in addition to the 93,000 which it earned itself.

Many of the problems that we have today In Duplin County have been caused by someones fa ilure to take care of our nat ural resources. Flooding of our homes and cr ops cause tremendous lc?s dur ing periods of heavy rainfall. Not only do crops drajwr., but homes and businesses are fl ooded causing loss of merchan dise and furniture. During the sumner of 1962, several millions of dollars were lost in Duplin County due to flooding, loss of topsoil and crops oeing wasneo sway. Ag* ? ars before the year is over. County depends almost entirely on the farm population for their source of Income; therefore, if the farmer does not make a crop, he , does not have any money to spend for clothes, food, furniture, equipment, etc. There a re many ways in which a person can avoid a crop, home, and business losses due to flooding. You can move to higher ground where there is no chance of water coveriqg your farm or flooding your home or business. You could plant only those crops which will gr ow in water, or you could build your house on piliqg or stilts. These may seem a little far out, but there are ways that you can solve the problem in a sound and Sensible manner. Some of these are: (1) Control of runoff from the higher land; (2) building po nds to store water which will rtdtice flooding, increase re
