BATTLE TO REDEEM LAKE BED
FOR AGRICULTURAL
PURPOSES HALTED
NEW HOLLAND, N. C., April 20,
(/P)—Dixie’s greatest "factory farm
ing” project apparently has failed.
Six years and $6,000,000 spent in
an effort to reclaim for agricul
ture the 48,000-acre bed of Lake
Mattamuskeet seems to have come
j to naught.
And now the vast level expanse
bids fair to be returned to its ori
ginal holders — fresh water fish
and the Canadian wild goose.
August Heckscher, New York fi
nancier and philanthropist, has
grown weary of a ceaseless, un
prfitable battle against nature in
the eastern Carolina flat lands.
In 1925 the financier was inter
ested in the great reclamation
t project by D. N. Graves, who first
! tried it. Giant pumping stations
Iwith a capacity of 1,000,000 gal
lions per minute were constructed
and placed in operation. Drainage
ditches were cut.
Five thousand acres of the lake j
silt were devoted to soybeans and
other thousands to wheat. As the
crops grew it rained. What had
been a great level expanse of rich
farming land was reclaimed, but
this time by nature.
Its wheat crop lost value, and
j its soybeans were beaten down by
j weather. Its flax proved value
|less.
! And "finis” apparently was j
written to August Heckscher’s sup
port, when Thomas announced op
erations would cease at once on
the project.
Great rows of modern farm ma- j
chinery is likely to be sold, the
pumps are to stop working, and
the waters are to be allowed once
more to flow over acres they held
inviolate for centuries. The miles
of drainage ditches will become
merely deeper spot in the , lake.
