Russia to force food production
as it forces industrial production
that is proving to be communism's
Achilles heel" Some people fear
that communism will eventually
dominate America through attack
from within. AS long as we have
as many solvent farmers as we
have today, that threat is doomed.
8. Farmers provide America with
reservoir of spiritual strength
"Small landowners" said Thomas
jefferson, "are the most precious
portion of the state. They are the
most vigorous, the most independ-
ent, the most virtuous Those
who labor in the earth are the
chosen people of God. Our Gov
eminent will remain yirtous as
long as our people are chiefly agri-
cultural"
In an America that is becoming
brittle with the twin diseases of
urbanization and industrialization,
it is vital that our rural heritage
be sustained to give our nation
the stamina, strength, and tran
guilty that it can gain from no
other source. Our farmers not only
feed the. stomach Of America. They
also nurture its heart, its con-
science, and its faith.

Roanoke Island Historical Associa-
ton, of course.
During their last visit on the
island during the Labor Day week
end, Mr.. Meykar took dzens of the
Lost Colony postcards and Dare
County Tourist Bureau pamphlets
with him, as is his habit, to dis
tribute to the people with whom
he comes in contact during the
winter. It is his practice, he tells,
to leave these pamphlets on the
desks of his fellow employees or
on the cafeteria tables as soon as
the snow begins to fall and peo-
pies thoughts turn to the SUMMER
shores.
Chooses Swamp Land
Four years ago Mr.. Meykar met
the late Theo. S. Meekins and
bought from him the old Wescott
swamp, a tract of land of some
extent on the west side Of the
highway, about a mile south Of
Manteo. The tract is primarily a
drainage basin for that area of the
island and contains some wooded
land and a lot of wet marsh. The
woods were badly damaged by the
high salt water after the hurri-
canes of 1865. But the Meykars
are enthralled with the prospects
of what they can do with their
land when they are ready to settle
on Roanoke Island. Mr.. Meyka1
wants to employ the principles Of
land rehabilitation which are used
in Holland; he is designing dikes,
with windmills to pump out the
rain water. He is dreaming Of deer
fresh water lakes, pumped out In
the middle Of his swamp, which
will serve to raise the level of the
other portions of his dream estate
After his life in Louisiana, the
local mosquitoes hold no fear fol
him; but he feels that the proper
drainage, ventilation and exposure

to eradicate these pests. He thinks
that if there were more clear fresh
water ponds on the island, there
will be NOR migrant wildfowi; the
fish will eat the mosquito larvae
and dragon flies, who are the nat.
ural enemy of mosquitoes anC
flies, will be encouraged to breed

There he became the last of the
fencing masters of that illustrious

uralized a citizen of the State of
Louisiana and therefore a citizen
of the United States. His love for
adventure led him to explore the
possibilities of shark fishing in the
Gulf of Mexico, in a rickety open

love for the pine forests and the
sand dunes and the endless wind
swept and sunbleached beaches
which eventually brought him to
Roanoke Island.
