impractical enterprise. Surely,
with all the acres available with
out so much costly drainage in
volved, a vast amount of profitable
and lasting development might
have been accomplished with all
these millions if spent on Eastern
North Carolina lands, more readily
cleared.
Thirty years ago, II million dol
lars would have done much. Many
times over its accomplishments of
today.
The great project almost bank
rupted Hyde County. In fact it had
much to do with its present state
of depopulation. Many people, all
the worse off, left to recoup their
fortunes in other fields and never
returned to live here. For the
county and it's taxpayers were in
weighed into the floating of bonds
themselves to establish corollary
drainage systems, whose funds
went into the aid of the lake prof.
ect, and which failed when the
Lake Drainage Company went I'M
der.
Those of US who can feast our
souls on the magnifcence of the
wild geese flying in the glorious
winter sunset, might not feel so
happy at the spectacle, had we
been investors in the project, or
taxpayers who lost homes and
farms in the debacle. But it all
serves as an example that dreams
and wild schemes Matched by i'm
practical people usually prove dis
astrous to the little fellow. The
rosy promises held out to farm
ers, rich and poor, in Hyde County
in those days looked good. Too
few people then thought as they
should think now, that when i'm
practical dreams fail to yield prof
it, it is always the little fellow
who endures the hardships that
follow, whose families suffer the
disappointments and deprivations,
and who continue to pay the bills
for many years to come, either
through direct taxes tremendously
increased, or in increased living
costs on every hand.

BIZ VICTOR MEEKINS

Driving via Mattamuskeet Lake
Monday afternoon, 1 faced one of
the most glorious sunsets of win
ter, and limned agains the pearl,
and gold and rose of the skies
were thousands of wild geese fly
ing about. The hunting season is
over, and the birds seem to know
it. They are casual and careless
in their movements. They flaunt
their new sense of freedom and
security. The laws now protect
them, but still they are not secure
against the reckless hunter who
! will shoot in spite of laws, who
will persist in furtive tho occa-
sional attempts to kill them. 1t is
so of all the things that we con-
slider absolute security. What may
be intended as protection may lead
all of US into false sense of safe
ty, whereby we are all the more
unsafe from the reckless and I'M
fair.
1 thought of the great dreams
of fortune that had died at Lake
Mattamuskeet. How trusting or
hopeful people had been feeced of
II million dollars spent in the at
tempt to drain it's waters and yield
untold profits to stockholders.
Great promises were made about
the fertility of the land. When it
was drained, it was learned the
lake bottom ran largely to ordi-
nary sand. Too much of the fer
tility was drained away in the
pumping operation.
The II million dollars spent rep
resented an outlay of about $3.50
per acre, provided all the $4,000
acres of the area might have been
utilized. That would be an enor-
nous cost for the best farming
land available today, beside which
there would be the annual cost of
keeping the area drained. Clearly
no land could afford a yield on
which a profit could be made on
so stiff an original investment, plus
the continued heavy cost of drain
age.
To most of US, it would appear
that the whole project must have
been the impractical dream of the
kind of planners who during the
past 20 years have been provided
with so much of the taxpayers
money to waste; or the scheme
might have been the deliberate
plans of schemers to get rich from
what might be filched from the
| great bond issues floated for this

JAMES w. HARRIS, 10,
Greenville, N. c., decided in 1949
to enter a All conservation prof.
ect. First step was seeding 10
acres to permanent pasture to
support their 16 cattle. To pre-
vent overgrazing q more acres
were seeded, this time with la-
dino clover and fescue grass. A
3-year crop rotation was laid out,
and a program for raising hogs
adopted which depends on the use
of new fields each year for far
rowing and grazing, to prevent
disease. Eight acres of woodland
was cleared to provide new land
for the tobacco crop. Since the
fields are subject to drying out
an irrigation system was set up
which draws water from a canal.
AS a national winner in the All

Edmonton hopping Up
After 41 Inches Of Rain
BY the Associated Press

EDMONTON, Alta, Aug. l.
Residents started mopping up
this city today after one Of the
worst floodings in its history.
Storm clouds dumped Az
inches of water on the city in a
13-hour period. Rain, lashed by
winds up to So miles an hour,
poured down almost half the
total precipitation recorded be-
tween April l and July 80.
The mop-up was expected to
take all week end and probably
will extend into next week.
Communications, power, We
hicular traffic. railway service
and airport operations were
snarled. Hundreds of miniature
lakes formed in residential areas.
Roads, many still unpaved, were
reduced to quagmireS.
Water rose to the four-foot
level on many streets and storm
sewers were unable to cope with
the downpour. Cars abandoned
on streets had water up to the
door handles.
