; Every community is buzzing
I with a lot of talk about new un
dertakings as the county starts
I off on the first lap of peace-time
i living. Engelhard in Hyde Coun
ty is no exception.
There is a great deal of talk
[ about the possibility of a mod-
I ern hotel going up. Rumor has it
, that an ex-service man will ven-
j ture the undertaking unless Tony |
I Spencer gets the start and devel- i
I ops his hotel property first. I
j ^ it is said that a box factory
is a pretty sure bet for the town. ’
; This is based on a recently clce-
ed real estate deal which will
develop the town in a new di-
I rection. I
j While there is no known plans
, at the preset for starting a dry
j cleaning piant, bakery or agen-
I cy for low priced automobiles,
^ those interested in the expan-
ksion cc Engelhard are hopeful
] that these and some other enter-
I prises included a good drugstore
. will come in shortly. A shortage
I of business housing is a problem
I at the moment, it is said,
j There is a definite possibility
I that a new building, possibly
: made of concrete blocks, will
, house the post office to take care
of the increased ned for space,
j and that a building to house the
Texaco products agency will go
up shortly.
Farmers will have more lee-
' way under the 1946 Agricultural
j Conservation iProgram in choos
ing the practices they want to
carry out on their farms, T. A.
j Jennette, Chairman cf the Hyde
County AAA Committee, said to-
I day.
j This year, program funds will
I be allocated to counties as well
I as to States, and it will be up to
I farmers and local AAA commit-
I teemen to get all the conserva-
: tion they can for the money they
! have available.
: Mr. Jennette, said that $25,-
1922 has been allocated to assist
I Hyde County farmers to carry
- out practices under the 1946
AOP Program. About $15,000
will be expended to assist
county farmers under the 1945
program.
Mr. Jennette pointed out that
several important changes have
been made in the 1946 program.
One change is that no farm al
lowance will be established this
year. Another one is that, to earn
payments, practices to be cem-
pleted under the program must
have the prior approval of the
county committee.
As in other years, AAA Com
mitteemen will sit down and help
each farmer plan the program...
for his farm. From a list of prac
tices approved for Hyde County,
the farmer may choose those
practices which his farm needs.
In approving plans, County Com
mittee will give consideration to
the needs' of all farms in the
county, in line with the amount
of conservation money allocated
to the county.
In Hyde County, there is ur
gent need for liming materials.
For this reason, the 1946 AAA
program will emphasize the im
portance ofnhe use of li.me.

J. M. Worrell, agriculture
I teacher at Swan Quarter, spoke
! to fellow members of the Engel
hard Rotary Club Thursday eve
ning on the possibilities of grow
ing peanuts in Hyde County as
another step in diversifying far
ming in the county. The Engel
hard Rotarians sponsorig the idea
of growing peanuts seveial years
ago with results but farmers
were restricted in marketing their
crop because of al'otment quo
tas.
(Peanuts offer farmers in Hyde
County a chance to have a new
cash crop, according to the agri
culture teacher, who said that J
marketable peanuts can be grown
in th's section ai a pr"''’!. H'
pointed out the va ue of the crop
for running hogs in the field af
ter digging, as well as the value (
of the hay in feeding livestock.
It WES indicated at the meet
ing that a number of farmers in |
j the county will plant peanuts in
! 1946. Tho.se who would like t
1 plant a small crop of peanuts
were advised to get their seed
now. Mr. Worrell said he would
be glad to help farmers obtain
good seed.
Rc'tarian P. D. Midgett was in
charge of the program.
