frog raising may push corn and
other less profitable farm crops
far into the background.
II. f.. Reynolds of Old Dock
has started what is believed to
be the only frog farm in the
two Carolinas.
It's another move to find a
replacement for tobacco lost via
the allotment cutting method.
yaOf course. the amiable frog
Srmcr is virtually out Of the
tobacco business. He had nine
tenths of an acre allotment be-
fore the recent ~ per cent de-
crease.
Whether or not frog raising
will prove profitable won't be
knC=yn until next year. For the
moment. it's a costly operation.
Five pairs Of breeder frogs
costs $15i12. These were placed
IL the pond about four weeks
ago. Last week 100 giant jum-
bo bullfrog tadpolcs were put
into the pond. Reynolds empha-
sized the high cost of vcnturing
into frog farming by displaying
the bill for S160 that arrived
with the tadpolcs.
"1t's an expensive proposition
but you never know now it will
come out" said Reynolds.
He confcsscs that he knows
practically nothing about frog
'1ising but the confession is one
of rojesty. While he has never
engaged in tie business, he has
bonei up on the subject.
"You know, those breeder frogs
won't minglc with the plain old
pond frog" he remarked as his
eyes scanned the pond for sight
of one Of his breeder frogs,
"Guess that's because the breed
ers came from the city and don't
Sant anything to do with these
country frogs"

Old Dock Farmer
Starts Frog Farm,

plans TO sell his first ones on
that market. Last count on the
prices paid indicated S1.5i per
pound was about average. This.
prices also includes the buyer
furnishing the necessary mater.
ials for packing the frogs.
County Agent Charlie RaperI
said Reynolds efforts at frog
raising were the first he had
heard of in North Carolina.
If frog raising moves to the
top of North Cardinals farm
picture, credit will belong to a
doctor at John Hopkins hospital
in Baltimore, Maryland.
Several years ago, Reynolds
was a patient at John Hopkins
and became good friends with
one of the doctors. After the
doctor visited in the Reynolds
home, he casually remarked that
lis friend should try frog rails
ing. The doctor furnished Rcy-
nolds with a book on frog raising
and the stage was set.
How do you feed a frog? IT,
l bit strong for the weak stomach
to watch but as a dead chicken
attracts a horde of flies, the
quick darting tongue of the frog
2icks off his dinner with little
effort.
Other Columbus farmers arc
watching the frog farming ex-
pertinent. Some are devouring
every bit of literature on the
subject they can find.
Reynolds isn't waxing any OPP
timism about the frog business
He's content to wait and see"
His wife goes along with the
idea Of waiting for the outcome
before getting optimistic but
adds. Tf it's profitable VIC are
going to dig ponds all over tire
farm"
IL may fizzle but chances arc
Better than even that Columb'e
county folks will soon respect
Mr.. Bullfrog as highly as pota-
toes, corn OF other minor money
crops.
