You Are Invited To A Meeting On A Agricultural Empire A fresh new agricultural empire is being created in North Carolina It is built on land which had been scorned as worthless by the pioneers Thev streamed around the great swamps of eastern Carolina and took lands highoi up. A century after that scramble spread across the mountains, over tlu pin 'ns and reached the Pac.fic. the land they passed by is coming into its own Down in Hyde, Washington, Tyrrell and Beaufort counties several hundred thousand acres are being cleared, dramod and put into cultivation, chiefly m corn, soybeans and pasture, though some vegetables also are being raised Lake Phelps Farm, Inc is developing th s new agr.cultu.'al empire. A' of April 1, 1961, sales have boon arranged for 3,150 acres and thc> expect to sell the remaining 2,850 acres before summer Most of the sales were made to investors under a program which assures the investor a profitable business with tax benefits He is also in a position to make a capital gain if he holds the farm at least three \cars before selling If the investor chooses to keep the land and leases it back to Lake Phelps they pay him rent that gives him a 10'- to 25 V return on his net investment Tne leasing arrangement is particulain attractive to people who expect to retire soon on a comparatively small uicoiw and to those who want to give children a steady income in the future By virtually eliminating the hazard of bad weather, through the purelw’ 0 of special machinery designed to work on ground saturated by heavy rains, ■' program of prepaung 10,000 acres of land this year at costs lower than antic ,' ipatod is assured It is planned to sell tins newly-prepared land in 1961 and early 1962 for planting m 1962 MR.
