Leads In
Turkey
Producing
A record-breaking 17.7 mil
lion turkeys were produced in
North Carolina in 1976 and the
state remained the nation's
third largest turkey producer,
according to Ed~ Woodhouse.
Executive Secretary of the N.C.
Poultry Federation. With the
state's population estimated at
slightly over 5 million, this
means North Carolina turkey
industrymen produced well over
3 turkeys in 1976 for every
person in the state. Only two
states in the nation exceed
North Carolina in production of
turkeys - those being Minne
sota and California.
Leu than 25% of the turkeys
produced in North Carolina are
actually consumed in the state.
It is estimated that approxi
mately 75% of the turkeys are
exported to other parts of the
country.
Duplin County remains not
only the largest turkey produc
ing county in the state, but it is
the largest in the nation, and in
fact, in the world. '
Farm income from turkeys in
1976 was approximately 100
million dollars even though
returns to turkey producers
were unprofitable through most
of the year.
S-T-R-E-T-C-H-I-N-G - Randy Taylor, first baseman for James
Kenan Tigers, got a "stretching" workout Thursday in the
baseball game against Hobbton. Taylor made several outs at first
by giving that extra effort and going out to meet the ball.
Hobbton came out on too. beating the Tigers 5 to 3. The Tigers
lost their opening game to lasi year's conference champs,
Clinton, by a score of 9 to 2 and they were tied with Dunn, 10 to
10 when the game was called due to darkness. That game will be
completed when the Tigers travel to Dunn.
