FACTORY FAR|M' DOOMED BY NATURE
 MILLIONS WASTED
BATTLE TO REDEEM LAKE BED FOR AGRICULTURAL
 PURPOSES HALTED

NEW HOLLAND, N. C., April 20, (R-Dixie's greatest factory farm ing" project apparently has failed.
 Six years and $6,oo0,OO0 spent in an effort to reclaim for agricul- ture the 48,OO0-acre bed of Lake Mattamuskeet seems to have come to naught.
 And now the vast level expanse bids fair to be returned to it's ori- ginal holders - fresh water fish and the Canadian wild goose.
 August Heckscher, New York fi- nancier and philanthropist, has grown weary of ceaseless, un- prfitable battle against nature in the eastern Carolina flat lands.
 In 1925 the financier was inter ested in the great reclamation project by D. N. Graves, who first tried 1t. Giant pumping stations with a capacity of 100000 gall Ions per minute were constructed and placed in operation. Drainage ditches were cut.
 Five thousand acres of the lake silt were devoted to soybeans and other thousands to wheat. As the crops grew it rained. What had been a great level expanse of rich farming land was reclaimed, but this time by nature.
 It's wheat crop lost value, and it's soybeans were beaten down by weather. Its flax proved value less.
 And "finis' apparently was written to August Heckscher's sup port, when Thomas announced op- erations would cease at once on the project
 Great rows of modern farm ma cflinery is likely to be sold, the pumps are to stop working, and the waters are to be allowed once more to flow over acres they held inyiolate for centuries. The miles of drainage ditches will become merely deeper spot in the lake.
