To those in this frame of mind the Cliffs of The, Neuse present an awe some change of pace. Here there is a sheer 100 foot drop from the cliffs to the muddy Neuse that wanders slowly toward Pamilco Sound down below. The only State Park in the central part of the Coastal Plain regions happens to be this area that is officially called The Cliffs of the Neuse. In the eastern edge of Wayne County less than five miles from Seven Springs, an other beauty spot of the central Coastal Plain, this State Park is largely the brain child of Lionel Weil, late merchant and philan thropist of Goldsboro, who al most single handed brought into being this state park for the de light and relaxation of the thousands in East Carolina who are to far from the coast or the mountains to enjoy these wond erlands of nature. Today paved roads and large paved - parking areas bake the driver almost to the rim of this precipice which drops sharply to the waters of Neuse River. It is well known that such a slight 100 foqt cliff would not be much of a sight in the mountains of the state, but herd lh East Carolina if Ik a sight worth the time it takes to drive over. From Kin ston the trip is less than a half hour away at a safe and sane rate of speed. Picnic areas are provided with water, toilets, out door and indoor ,fire places for weiner roasts, marshmallow toasting, and more complete cooking. Plans now projected by the state call for the creation of a 10 acre lake on the northern edge of this several hundred acres that comprise this state park. Go to see The Cliffs of the Neuse, it is a sight in this flat Eastern Carolina. ‘Green Pasture* Tour To Be Held in Jones The Agricultural Workers Council recently launched the “Green Pastures” Campaign In Jones County with plans for a pasture tour scheduled for the 20th of June. In this tour they are planning to show all phases of pasture development and management including good and bad pasture practices and land use. The committee appointed to work up the details of the tour is as follows: W. J. Reams, Coun ty Agent ;D. M. Griffin, Soil Con servationist; and G. V. Woodard, F. H. A. Supervisor. The “Green Pastures” Cam paign in Jones County is a result of the plans to honor the “Green Pasture” farmers as approved re cently by the State iU. S. D. A. Council. Under this plan farmers who seed at least IVz acres of ladino clover-grass pasture per animal unit will receive appro priately engraved plaques and those who seed as much as one acre per animal unit will re ceive letters of achievement. The ten counties which have the highest percentage of farm ers to qualify for the awards will be recognized with appropriate trophies or certificates. Counties in which 60 per cent or more of the farm operators receive plaques will be designated “Green pastures” Counties. The ycung lady pictured here, Libby Rider, is standing on the edge of East Carolina’s most unusual natural wonder. The Cliffs of the Neuse, which tower more than 100 feet above the slowly meandering Neuse River just a few miles above Seven springs in Wayne County. Less than 25 miles from Kinston the Slate Park that has been built here is one of the most beautiful and restful picnic sites within easy driving range of the Kinston-Goldsboro area. If you haven’t visited it, do so soon.
