A big land redevelopment pro-
gram in Eastern North Carolina is
paying off in new rich farm land
as well as dollars.
Cattle now Craze on rich pas
ture in Hyde, Tyrrell and Wash
ington counties on land that was
pure swamp just a few years ago.
Soybeans, corn and flowers are
being raised in black, fertile soil
by small but growing band of
settlers that includes families of
Dutch extraction who have pio-
neered eastward from midwestern
states.
Houses and families have re-
placed deer and birds in what was
once some of the widest country in
the State.
Local hopes are high that a ma
jor boom for Eastern North Caro-
lima is in its infancy. Some farm
related industries have already
peeked over the wall and appar-
emily like what they see.
Staggering.
The dollars that are being
hacked and drained out of the
''badlands' called the East Dismal
Swamp are somewhat staggering
to the imagination.
The 10000 acres that have been
drained and developed so far
wouldn't bring buyers a number of
years ago at $3.25 an acre.
Swampland that developers pur-
chased four and five years ago for
$40-45 an acre is now selling for
$2O0-225 an acre.
But behind the dollars, the new
arabic land and the settlement OF
a previously deserted part of the
State lies much muscle work
imagination and multi-million dol
lar Investments.
The majority of development in
the 150,0o0-acre tri-county area has
been done by a pair of interna-
tioIral real estate operators.
C. T. S. Keep of the west coast
and Charles Gleaves of Roanoke
Va, bought 10000 acres of the old
Roper Lumber Co. land, which al
one time spread throughout the
eastern swampland section of the
State.
Gleaves and Keep got a skepti-
cal local man-Harry Mcmillan
of Westinghouse join them in
Lake Phelps Farms Inc. Although
the remaining 1000 acres of Lake
Phelps Farms is now owned by
Connecticut General Life Insur-
ance Co., Lake Phelps Farms con-
tinues to lease, operate and devel-
OPP its territory.
j. D. Parker, an Elm City ma
tive and a big farmer from Moore
County, has probably had as much
experience turning muck and goo
into iveable real estate as anyone
in the area.
Parker, a wealthy man with a
vast expanse of stomach, bought
$1,000 acres in Washington and
Hyde counties in 1866.
Everybody thought the land
was low and couldn't be drained
Parker says. He and the other de-
velopers have proved the disbe-
LEVERS wrong.
With the tough imagination of
an early American settler, Parker
rolled up his sleeves and went to
work.

Boom in Built Up Swamp Lands Underway
in Hyde. TyrrelI and Washington Counties
Not Sunk.

The old school of thought was
that Clyde County was sunk, but
it's not" Parker says. The di-
rectors of the States Literary
Fund used slave labor we'll over
century ago to cut New Lake
Canal through the Swamp. They
hoped the land could be developed
and used to support North Caro-
lima universities.
The thinking of the goth Cen
fury has been that water would
have to be pumped out. But
Parker and Lake Phelps Farms
have proved that the oldtimers
knew what they were up to, that
it could be drained off.
Using expensive draglines and
bulldozers, Parker began to slug
canals, bitches and roads through
his land. While other parts of
the East are barely above sea
level, the redeveloped acreage
runs from IL to IS above water
level.
With canals - which in some
spots run 20 feet wide and Is
deep-the land drains itself. The
water runs both into Pamlico and
Albemarle sounds eventually.
Parker sold 10000 acres of his
and after he drained it, to the
Marine Development Corp. of
Rhode Island. That company is
engaged in tree farming in the
area now.
Parker intends to hang on to
his remaining $1,000 acres. He
now has 1900 Hartford and Black
Angus cattle grazing on lush pas
lures of fescue and hopes to have
$4,000 head in the next five
years."
He has moved his home to
Roper and now operates the old
Roper Lumber Co., there as the
Brady Lumber Co. He's cutting
six to seven million feet of lob
holly pine, maple and popular a
year now and selling it to North
Carolina furniture makers.
"We're reproducing just about
what we're cutting" Parker says.
every time we cut timber we go
right back in and replant in pine
and popular"
He calls the former swamp
Hthe fastest growing timber land
in the United States" But he's
also has 600 acres of soy beans and
$50 acres of corn planted so far.
The Lake Phelps Farms prop
'erty originally purchased by Keep
and Gleaves has dwindled by al
most 10000 acres since they went
into the area.
But that property has been sold
off, both to local farmers and the
out-of-state pioneers.
The former midwestern farm
ers are buying up tracts of re-
vamped land at about 800 acres
a whack. A solid Dutch conlmu-
nifty has long been established with
its own parochial school in near
by Terra Celia.
Clean milk sheds and spanking
white houses are going up with
growing regularity on cleared
lot that used to be known only
to hunters.
About 40 families now live in
the area. Corn, beans and flow
ers are the main products with
some farmland producing as much
as 125 bushels of corn per acre

Vital Statistics of Soviet Moon Rocket

uary US. visit by Anastas Miko- van, First Deputy Premier and one of Khrushchev's right-hand men.
 Thus the Soviet Union has been building up a publicity backlog of scientific achievements. Appar- ently confident of success, the Russians distributed a bulletin on the rockets progress only hours after it's launching.
 The first communique distrib- uted by the official Soviet agency TaSs did not make clear whether the scientists aimed to hit the moon or put the space capsule into orbit around it.
 The moon provides a target 2,160 miles in diameter approxi- mately 240,OOO miles away from the earth.
 Tass said the final stage of the rocket weighs total of 3,342.2 pounds, not counting fuel. The instrument package weighs 859.8 pounds.
 As usual, there were no details of the overall rocket that sent the instrument capsule speeding beyond the earth's atmosphere at better than 11,200 meters (about ' miles, per second needed to es- cape the earth's gravitational pull.

MOSCOW, P-Soviet scientists fired another rocket toward the moon Saturday. Hours later, they reported it travelling on course and due to reach the moon short ly before Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev arrives in the United States Tuesday.
 If the ball shaped, 860 pound space capsule, loaded with scien- tific instruments, goes into orbit around the moon, it will be the first man-made object to do so.
 If it whizzes by the moons gravitational field, it will join another Soviet rocket-Mechta- and Americas Pioneer w now orbiting around the sun.
 Some scientists in Washington said that from a strictly techni- cal point of view, the Russians had gambled on a less favorable date for their new moon shot. From a propaganda standpoint, however, the shot would be well timed to coincide with Khrush- of hand the proposal to use force.
 GUS. scientists were reported waiting until October to make their next shot at the moon, a 375-pound space capsule. Scien- lists in Washington said this time of the month is least favorable because the moon is farther away from the earth. The moon and the earth will be at their closest, 220,000 miles, for three days starting Oct 2.
 The newest Soviet rocket pre- cedes Khrushchev's trip just as the first announced Soviet moon shot came shortly before the Jan
