Summer Farm Work Pays Off for Ledford High Students
Cousins Michael and Thomas Cridlebaugh of High Point planted tended and harvested a tobacco crop as a 4 H Club project and a money raising venture. Thomas advanced funds for supplies and they will reimburse relatives from crop profits. One brother reported selling tobacco at 64 cents a pound and they planned to show the crop in Winston Salem but lacked time to finish. Profits will be saved and the rest spent, with plans to try again next season.
