Mirrored Reflections

We had a piece in last weeks
ISSUE about the Chamber of Com
mence meeting that it might be

dissenting vote on proposal that
Che Chaanher favor the City pur-
chasing the Erskine addition when
it becomes available. Though
there is nothing wrong structural
ly with the sentence used it might
be construed as meaning Chuck
Weir offered the dissenting vote.
Nothing is further from the idea
meant to be conveyed. He offered
the proposal and made the motion

Further down in the article, it
also stated Weir was unable to re-
port what happened to the resol-
utions submitted by him to the
State Chamber of Commerce Con-
vention. Since We didn't elaborat
on the reasons for this, it might
be construed that he didn't knpw
what was going ON there. Actual
ly he had the situation well in
hand, but due to the nature of the
set up governing the State group,
wherein the resolutions were act
ed upon or otherwise disposed of
by the Chamber Board, just prior
to the closing of the convention,

Time Will Tell.
Duda is large company which
produces citrus fruits and regis
tered Brahma cattle as well as
fancy vegetables. 1t is possibly The
biggest celery producer in the
world. The company's Florida op-
erations cover thousands of acres.
Farm Manager Frierson may be
a bit on the pessimistic side when
he says the local celery venture
"looks mighty shaky" so far. Prob
lens have been encountered, but
they are being tackled with COM
mon sense and determination. 1t
could be that the gamble will pay
off handsomely. At any rate,
another couple of years should tell
the tale.

A favorable outlook for business
for the second half Of the year
was given this month to the di-
rectors of Wachovia Bank and
Trust Company.
j. E. Edwards, Cashier and head
of the Belhaven bank, said in Bel
haven following the meeting, that
reports to the directors noted the
progress being made by Carolina
industry and agriculture to win
stronger position in national mar
kets.
"The condition of major crops is
excellent" the directors were told,
land this gives optimism that farm
income will be good. Our agricul-
ture is becoming much more di-
versified, and increasing interest
is being paid to matching the great
production capacity Of our farms
with adequate marketing facilities
and processing plants for tradition
al as we'll as new farm products"
In general, Mr.. Edwards said,
manufacturing establishments in
eastern North Carolina had highly
satisfactory operations in the first
half of 1860. Industry across the
state is strengthening its position
both through tn construction of
new factories and the moderniza-
ton of present plants and equip

ment.
In keeping with the economic
progress of this area and the state
as a whole, he said, $1.1 million
was added to the banks surplus,
giving Wachovia total capital and
surplus of $46,263,3 1886. This COM
pares with $4O,O30,O00 a year ago
and is the largest of any bank in
the Southeast.
Mr.. Edwards also reported in
creased business, new mid year
high in deposits, loans and total
resources and improved earnings
for Wachovia.
The directors elected a new d.
rector, ]. Herbert Waldrop, senior
vice president at Greenville. He
was president Of Guaranty Bank &
Trust Company when it merged
with Wachovia in May. He is a
past president of the N. c. Bankers
Association and a chairman of the
board of trustees of East Carolina
College.
Deposits of Wachovia on June 80
were $40 million compared with
$47O million a year ago, loans were
1916 million against 1927 million,
and resources totaled 1923 million
compared with $3.50 million at mid
year in 1869. Net operating earn
ings after taxes for the first six
months of 1860 were $3,065, 343 or
70 cents per share compared with
$2,709,767, or II cents per share
during the same period a year ago.
The directors declared a quarter
ly dividend of 1871 cents per share,
payable August 9 to stockholders

CELERY PROJECT
IN HYDE COUNTY
CREATES INTEREST
Raleigh Writer Reports on Ini+ia-
fion Of New Crop in Fertile
Maffamuskeef Lands
BY BILL HUMPHREYS

TN The News and Observer.)
FAIRFIELD.-A stable expert
ment in celery production is being
conducted in this rural community
along the shores of Lake Malta
muskeet in picturesque Hyde Coun-
ty.
A. Duda & Sons, a large vege-
table packing and shipping concern
with home office in Oviedc, Fla,
is spending many thousands of dol
lars on the venture. The firm has
obtained long-term leases on sew
eral acres of land and is producing
80 acres of celery and some 800
acres of sweet corn this year.
If the experiment succeeds, Duda
will be able to extend it's operating
season by about two months each
year. Harvest of the spring planted
celery crop begins here just as the
season is ending in Florida, and a
second crop is ready for harvest in
this area just before the Florida
season starts again.
Imaginative Project.
Some 35 to 40 years ago, this
same area was the scene of a spec
tacular experiment in farming. A
corporation backed by Northern
capital drained the entire Lake
Mattamuskeet with the second
largest pumping station in the
world and farmed it's 10000 acres
of fertile bottom land, growing
principally corn and soybeans but
experimenting with a variety of
crops ranging from rice to sun
flowers.
The Duda people do not pro-
pose to defy nature and again drain
this huge lake. They have their
eyes on the fertile black soil that
it has been known to catch on fire
and burn for months. Also, over
100 square miles of fresh water
in the lake afford unlimited oppor-
tunities for both ditch and over
head irrigation purposes.
Ed Frierson, Duda's local farm
manager, is somewhat concerned
about what he terms overly opti-
mistic reports concerning the ven
ture in celery production.
A Delicate Crop.
"We're not here because North
Carolina is ideally suited to the
growing of celery" he says. "We're

celery whether it wants to or not
And, believe me, We're running into
some problems"
Celery is a delicate crop requir-
ing close attention. The water level
must be controlled very carefully,
the PHI or acidity level of the soil
must be just right, insects and
diseases must be kept in check,
and host of other problems must
be overcome.
In Florida, celery earned the
name IVORY weed" and it is fully
living up to that reputation here,
Frierson says.
Despite the young farm man.
ayers dubts, there are those who
believe Duda's big financial gamble
in the area shows promise of sue
cess.
Corn's Not Enough.
There is no question about the
sweet corn project. This is real
corn country and it can produce
high yields of good quality-as
many as 800 crates of 'fancy"
grade corn per acre. But if the
firm is to remain in this area, it
must produce corps other than
corn.
Celery quality and yields were
good in 1859, the first year that
tn ecrop wastested in this area,
but unusually heavy July r.
made it impossible to harvest much
of the crop. This year, yields and
quality have not been quite SO
good.
One problem is that the market
now demands stalks large enough
to pack only three dozen per crate,
whereas most of the local crop is
smaller, packing four dozen stalks
to the crate.
Last week, both harvesting and
transplanting crews were moving
across the black fields along Lake
Mattamuskeet. The crop being har-
vested had been set out in March,
while that being planted will be
harvested in October.
A large harvesting machine as
sembled by Duda requires crew
of IS to 60 workers and covers "a
rows at a time.
Hand and Machine.
The plants are cut with knives
and placed on conveyor belts which
line for washing and packing into
carry them to a GENITAL assembly
wirebound crates. The crates then
are loaded onto a truck which is
lowed in reverse by the harvesting
machine. Then they are taken to a
hydra-cooling plant and from there
they are shipped to markets in
many areas.
Corn picking is somewhat SINH
lar, except that the harvesting ma
chine covers only 18 rows and re-
quires a crew of 35 to 40. The corn
remains in it's husks, of course, and
is not washed.
Celery plants are produced in
seed beds and are transplanted 51s
inches apart in two-foot rows.
There are approximately 10000
plants per acre.
The crop is irrigated with over
head sprinklers Immediately after
transplanting. All later irrigation
is done with bitches. The water
level is controlled closely through
an elaborate system of pumps, ca
nails land bitches.
Some 400 to 500 workers are
employed in the Duda farming Cp-
Grafton here. Around $50 are local;
the remainder are trained people
brought up from Florida each sea-
son.
Much of the labor is recruited by
farm placement interviewers with
the State Employment Security
Commission. Among those who
have assisted this season are Cur
